Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Recommendations for a carbon saddle?
« on: May 15, 2021, 03:05:45 PM »
Hi all,

Any recommendations for a decent, lightweight, chiner saddle?
Seems like a lot of hit and miss on these, and hard to discern if it boils down to QC issues or, you know, because carbon saddles can be more prone to failure.

Currently checking this one out on Ali:
C$ 23.66  6％ Off | superlogic 3K Full Carbon Fiber Bicycle Saddle Road MTB Bike Carbon Saddle Seat Matte bike cushion 275*143mm cycling parts

Super light (115g)  generally favourable reviews (for me, meaning the poor reviews do not revolve around quality), low incidence or reported failure (?)

Thanks!

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Velobuild custom frame painting and decals
« on: May 14, 2021, 05:25:36 PM »
Hi All,

Looking to pull the trigger on the R-168, but had a question about painting.

For those who had their frame painted, how would you rate the quality?
Also, has anyone requested decals added to their frame? If so, was there any additional charge?

Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Chinese Compressionless Brake Housing?
« on: May 13, 2021, 03:15:35 PM »
Hi Everyone!

Speccing my first China build, and the goal is to get as close to 100% China branded as possible.
One place where I have had no luck is non compressible brake housing.
I will be running cable actuated hydraulic disk callipers, and understand non compressible housing improves performance.

I will be internally routing, so those segmented metal housings are out of the question. 

Any recommendations? Or am I stuck with Yokozuna or Jagwire?

Thanks!
