« on: October 12, 2021, 10:21:52 AM »How is the durability and reliability of those ?
Do they make noise ?
How do they perform in wet condition and also do they make noise ?
All pads I have tried, branded and unbranded make noise when wet until they get hot.
And some make noise permanently, probably when polluted.
Do you know some brands that never make noise ?

« on: October 12, 2021, 04:35:35 AM »I'm not an expert, but the bolts all feel very solid when tightening them. I've inspected the inserts that I can see internal in the frame and they look pretty solid (rivet nuts? no idea -- as I said, I'm not an expert :-)). I hope to one day go bikepacking with this, but no plans right now.
It is a size S right ? What is the weight ?

Pour some thread locker, I didn't and lost one screw this summer.

« on: October 08, 2021, 03:34:23 AM »The sandstone breaks down to grains of quartz, among other things, and this destroys any bearing...We have the same here, abrasive and often wet soil.
My conclusion was whatever you put(Hope, BB Infinite, WMFG, SRAM, stainless bearings,...), bearings die in a season if exposed regularly to mud.
I use now cheap disposable ones, changing them once or twice a year.
So I'm especially interested to know how yours will fare in the months to come.

« on: October 06, 2021, 11:32:20 PM »From now on it will be Cane Creek Hellbender 110. Sydney sandstone destroys bearings that aren't well sealed. Lifetime replacement gaurantee. You get what you pay for.

Interesting, how long have you been riding it in the sandstone?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: What left side crank power meter for Sensah empire 2x11 with Zrace cranks?
« on: October 05, 2021, 09:21:08 AM »I ordered the sigeyi power meter with cranks + the entire sensah empire 2x11 Groupset including the rotors, for 500usd on eBay. Thank you everyoneWhat brakes did you choose ? JUIN, ZTTO, ZRACE, another one ?
With JAGWIRE compressionless hoses, the braking is surprisingly good with ZTTO and ZRACE.
And the Sensah empire groupset is great too.

I still have a hard time with the seat tube and seat stays junction.
CUBE Agree bikes have a very similar one.

The crack sounds are normal when you press.
Maybe your bolt was too small to provide a flat enough washer, before a real press I was using a M16 bolt.

Nice bikes ! I love the design of this frame.
None of you had the problem of interference with the fork hitting the down tube when you turn ?
