10-51 casettes (12s AND 11s now too) with shimano spacing but for XD hubs (win-win)

This spacing is good for climbing. Question is are those VG Sports cassettes any good?

Hi, I bought your frameset via Aliexpress. Looks really nice. Can't wait for build and firs ride.

What is the max size of chainring for 1x drivetrains?

So did u get your answer? I would like to fit 44t chainring with senicx gr2 crankset. You think it will fit?

That's pretty solid! How much was the shipping, another ~$100?

Those look pretty nice! I need to look into Hygge some more, I've definitely heard that brand during my searches.

Yes! I was looking at some of the wider rims and was planning on maybe 28-30c tires. I can't run anything larger than 25c at the moment with my current bike. What width do you recommend? I assume a bit wider than 2mm 

I've ate one number, edited it. I meant 21mm internal. Contact Leon and see what he can do for You. I have their rim catalog and they have some good wide range of rims in variety of sizes. See the attached file

Hello everyone! I've been lurking the last few weeks trying to understand what vendors and components are available and reliable. One question I had was really around road carbon wheel sets. I've primarily heard of Elitewheels as the "go to" option, but then there are quite a few varieties and I'm not positive where the ideal point is to spend money.

For reference, today I have an older Fuji SST frame, 2008 generation Sram Red, and Giant P-SLR1 wheels today, and I'm looking at making a newer build with a bit more of an endurance frame (maybe the CFR-1056 frame) and wider tires, but still trying to keep the weight down.

Cheapest: Elitewheels ENT Disc - 50mm depth, 17/26mm width, 1751g - $431 - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255799847268989.html
Midlevel?: Yuanan (Elitewheels supplier) - 50mm depth, 1329g - ~$605 - https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4527.0.html
Most expensive?: Elitewheels Edge - 50mm depth, 21/28mm width, 1347g - $713 - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804581390724.html

Are there any other popular/reliable options I haven't considered? I'm sure there are other vendors I haven't considered?

Thanks!

Imo if you want a modern build and use wider tires you need at least edit:21mm internal width rims. My vote here goes for elite edge or contact Leon from yuanan  .+86 157 3827 4372. Very responsive guy. Can give you few options or a rim catalogue for custom build.
I've chosen custom build and will have my gravel wheels in few days.

I don't think you should measure to the center with aero bars. You place your hands more towards the back if you compare to a normal round bar. So maybe that's where the difference comes from.

Maybe yes, but on another hand the centerbof the bar is where they measure the reach from. At least this is how it matches on my bars

Did 140km on the Kocevlo bars today and they felt great - shape of the bars is good, flats on the top feel very comfortable and basically no noticeable flex when I'm putting an effort in.

Yes, I'm talking about the white 'Kocevlo' sticker. I could mostly peel it off with my fingers and the residue came off easily with some acetone.

As for measurements, I have taken some very rough measurements just with a measuring tape by eye:

Code: [Select]

                      | Specs               | Actual                                                      | Difference
----------------------|---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|-----------
Stem Length           | 100mm               | 110mm (+10mm longer)                                         | +10mm
Tops centre-to-centre | 380mm               | 380mm (right on)                                             | 0mm
Drops centre-to-centre| 400mm               | 405mm (+5mm wider)                                           | +5mm
Reach                 | 77mm                | 70mm (-7mm) - measuring accuracy uncertain                   | -7mm
Drop                  | 127mm               | 130mm (+3mm) - close enough, could be measuring error        | +3mm
Weight                | 520g±20g (full pkg?)| 330g (bar/stem) + 30g (Garmin mount) + ~25g (spacers, est.)  | -135g

I don't have a way of measuring the angle but it looks about right, I guess.

Excellent! Maybe it's a matter of slight differences between bars, slightly different dimensions and I expect my fairly upright shifter position probably means there's a little less room for cables after they exit the bars (see pictures).

I have sp cycle integrated gravel handlebars and also noticed that 100mm stem looks more like 110mm.
I remember Patrick Lino having same observation on Chinese integrated cockpits in one of his movies.
So decided to make some measurements and imo the stem is 105 mm from center bar to center top cap. Maybe all those companies have some different measuring method for those flat aero bars.
I've only found one which actually got the measurements right and it's speeder with 95,105,115 etc. stem lengths. https://www.speedercycling.com/Carbon-Integrated-Road-Handlebars-SC-RH02-_p401.html

If you haven't bought your crankset yet I could sell you mine. I picked up a force carbon crankset with power meter for cheap so I planned to switch it out. My Senicx is 175mm arms and 42t chainring.

It arrived today. I got 170 and 44t. Now just waiting for the frame

BTW.

They have many models. If you've choose one, which would that be?

I built 5-10 wheelsets in past 12 months with Goldix hubs and sold them to friends/customers
Following them closely, all satisfied, some are pushing 5000km. Not huge numbers, but still indicative.
My wheelsets are also Goldix, of course, and i have no issue.
