Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame
I’m doing a build with this frame and have a possible issue with the T47 BB being very tight. I’ve never worked with this style, so I’m not sure what to expect. It gets hand tight after a couple threads and then really starts to get snug. The threads seem clean and it doesn’t seem to be cross threaded. Both sides are the same. I don’t want to get too rough with it and bind or break something. Any ideas?I've run into this problem several times. These days, every frame I purchase from Alixpress, I wash out the bottom bracket threads using soapy water and a stiff nylon brush. Then I blow-dry the threads with a compressed air nozzle. All it takes is one small piece of metal in the threads to start the binding/cross-threading of a thread. I spent about 2 hours one time on a threaded bottom bracket thread with a magnifying glass and a fine metal pick carefully restoring a thread where I had messed up the thread due to a fine metal filing that became embedded in the bottom bracket thread. The filing messed up the crest and was stuck in the thread root. October 18, 2023, 01:41:04 PM |

Re: Nich Cycling (Thailand) - Legend4 Frameset - UCI Approved
Bunch of employees are disappointed by Winspace so they "went back to basics" and made another copy of SL7, gave it silly name, tripled the price, listed it on PP hoping to appeal to whoever is the target customer of PP stuff. Nice. This forum could crowd source a frame now and rebrand to whatever and make collective profit.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Regarding these Pass Quest solid chain rings. You do realize that having a solid chairing is just a waste of extra material and added weight. Chain rings have all the extra material machined out for a reason. Just saying... I know, I know... I'm a weekend warrior with around 3.5W/kg, so it's all about aesthetics. At least the bike will look fast.

Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame
Attached image shows 6mm gap between frame chainstay and 42t chainring. I don’t know if 44 would fit for sure but I suspect it would.

Re: DT 240EXP hub clones Goldix, Venfort
Thx! Looks like this is yuan M14 hub. Here ale links, please take a look: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001960343687.html https://www.yuananbike.com/product/yar-m14-mtb-hub-ratchet-system-center-lock-boost-axle-hub Goldix is very similar but uses bit different driver body: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003474664645.html Not sure it it's the same supplier or not for goldix 310, but 310 has driver without labyrinth sealing flange that makes it prone to dirt.

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
I think of all the cycling channels I actually prefer Trace Velo. He isn't a crit bro racer or some cycling snob, he's just a dude who likes tinkering with cheap bike parts and enjoys the fitness benefits of cycling. His bike mechanic skills are probably representative of the average DIY bike mechanic as well. All these wannabe YT influencers rub me the wrong way.

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
Rectangular tube profiles and the fattest headtube in the game. It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike. I agree. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But to me this looks like Homer Simpson’s idea of an aero bike. November 16, 2023, 02:49:25 PM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
Despite Hambini’s gripes about “other” YouTubers, Cam Nichols’s review had similar conclusions. His “carbon expert” guy had similar remarks about the Evo’s carbon quality—its shit. I love how when the elves distributor was approached regarding cam nicholls' experience, he went and blamed it on the mechanic. Saying he didn't know how to assemble bikes correctly. Pretty bad look in my opinion. November 17, 2023, 06:39:59 AM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
What I’m really surprised is that nobody (including Hambini) is reaming the Evo for its horrendous aerodynamic properties. Rectangular tube profiles and the fattest headtube in the game. I reckon it's just because there are so many shit aspects of the frame, it'd take an eternity to list it all. Maybe his ssd can't store it all haha. It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike. This is by far the best comment ever on this forum. I'm gonna need to add it as my signature hahahaha. I'll remove it if you want, though. November 18, 2023, 04:11:52 AM |
