Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Just fitted my OG-Evkin mount today, snapped in my wahoo with a satisfying click, was solid for my short ride, took the wahoo out and this was the result

a close up of the damaged tab


also not happy with the spacers between stem and mount they deform below 5nm. (happened with the cheap alloy ones, which have other problems)

hey mate, my wahoo insert made a cracking sound every time i twisted it. i tried to file it down a bit so it was more tapered like my k edge, but it just became sloppy. removed it and threw the garmin one in instead and it fit way better for whatever reason.

and ... the gopro mount of mine completely crumbled under next to no torque, threw my k edge gopro mount on instead which fit thankfully. og evkin refunded me but whatever. i think it's a bit of a sh*t company to be 100% honest.

Re: Yishun, Velobuild etc. like Canyon frames geometry

What about that frame:

I just bought one to replace my endurance cf 7. I wanted something a bit stiffer and a little more racey, but not too low due to my dimensions. 068 seemed to be a good match.

Re: Avoid OG-Evkin Official Store on Aliexpress I bought one of their carbon computer mounts. The wahoo insert was garbage, sounded like it was snapping every time I put my wahoo in plus it was a little loose when engaged. Changed it to the garmin one and it was somewhat better, but still crap compared to my k edge, which is beautifully smooth. In addition, the gopro mount completely crumbled under an entire single newtonmeter of torque. Pathetic. I put in a claim through aliexpress and got a refund.

Wouldn't go near this company again. Garbage.

Re: Getting kicked around by LightCarbon, should I dispute with paypal? Seems pretty normal. As I understand, they make stuff in batches, not individually for single customers.

I think everyone can rest assured when ordering from LightCarbon.

Re: VB CX-002 is…
Polling the crowd here. If you were asked What does the VB-CX002 resembles the most? What would you say? Picture courtesy of their website.

Resembles an afterthought to me.

Looks like they're trying to make something from the spare parts bin. Tubing from the generic open mold aero frame (e.g. LCRXS-D) with a few little geometry adjustments and a bit extra tyre clearance and call it a CX bike. Unfortunately they've missed the mark by a country mile with the super steep headtube angle and that seatpost looks way too stiff for anything but smooth tarmac.

Apart from racing, I never really understood why anyone would choose a cx bike over a gravel bike, but this wouldn't cut it as a cx bike in my eyes. Not even close.

All that almost makes me overlook whoever assembled it was too lazy to cut the steerer tube down. Almost.

Re: Elves Eglath Pro Build the thing i like most about elves is how the name of their frames is like they've put a bunch of letters in a blender and set it to max.

Regarding the Aliexpress app.  I don't want to put a Chinese invasive app on my phone.   I am sure there are ties back to the Chinese government.  I am sure they are tracking you...

yeah man they're coming to get ya. hide yo kids hide yo wife

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Whatabout-what?  I wonder what the disc pads I purchased a year ago off Aliexpress are made out of:  Sintered compressed dirt end Elmers glue?.   They appear to wear really fast.  Or perhaps I stop a lot?   Hmmm

From aliexpress? Obviously they're made out of tracking nanoparticles secretly made by the chinese government in collaboration with all the aliexpress brake pad manufacturers. They wear quicker because they leave tracking dust on the floor and the satellites pick up your movement. While everyone is worried about being tracked by apps, this is how they getcha. Thought everyone knew this?
