Component Deals & Selection / yuananbike forged gravel wheels
« on: November 07, 2023, 08:02:58 AM »
Hi all, yuananbike is offering some good deals on their wheelsets at the moment because of 11.11. I have been looking at their GRO2 gravel wheels (wich come in at about 470 dollars shipped to europe).

The one thing I'm unsure about is the forged rim finishing. It looks really nice but does it have any disadvantages in comparison with the standard Uni Directional weaving? I can't find a lot about this on google, anyone with experience on this topic?

Second option are their UNI rims (essentially the elite edge wheels), but they are about 100 dollars more expensive and I'm worried they might be cheaper on Ali if the 11.11 sale and coupons drop. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Need help: race/aggressive gravel frame
« on: October 08, 2023, 03:34:00 AM »
Hey!

I'm looking to build a gravel bike do some gravel races but i'm having some troubles finding the right fit. My current gravelbike is a carbonda 696 and it's super comfortable but I'm missing the aggressive, snappy feel. My eye fell on the Yishunbike G095D but I noticed it's weight is significantly higher than for example a Lightcarbon LCG071 (wich is unfortunately also more of a comfort frame). Also in comparison to for example a canyon grail (wich is a performance based gravel bike), it's geometry is still not that aggressive. Comfort and mounting points are less important because I have raced bikes since I was a kid. I know there are some 'all road' options on the market but I would like to have space for 45mm tyres, since not every race has fast gravel. Am I missing some options here?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
