Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)

This is quite literally Magene's warranty policy: https://support.magene.com/hc/en-us/articles/900002358986-Warranty
I got served this bullshit when the integrated chainring on my $500 QED crankset/powermeter went out of true. They sent me a new chainring "out of generosity", but never refunded me. I'm pissed. They damn well know the product is defective because they pulled it from the shelves, but never made me whole.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Deerobust/Goldix wheel build 50/55mm 1319g
« Last post by dsveddy on Today at 02:36:10 PM »Nice wheels and all, but can I ask about the truing stand? Is that an AliExpress model or rather a Western product?
It's sold by RRS Kit. As Tidy said, it's available on Ali. I bought mine on Amazon, it was actually cheaper that way.
As Tidy said, it's not centered at all. The right side support wiggles and puts the wheel about 5mm to the right of center. I haven't been able to fix it, but I can deal with it during dishing by repeatedly flipping the wheel around. Funny enough, TOOT engineering seems to build their wheels on the same stand. If it's good enough for those guys it definitely gets my job done.
The nice thing is that it comes with precision dials to measure trueness, so you can easily find the point of greatest deflection away from your reference point. I try to true down to less than 0.5mm deviation in any direction, I think I'm consistently in the neighborhood of 0.3mm.

Good luck with your degree!
Thank you! I graduated this weekend, so off to new adventures, and hopefully a little more time to ride (and hopefully to lose some weight too

29er / Re: SP-Cycle M06 build thread
« Last post by Markus2209 on Today at 02:16:01 PM »Hello everyone,
I wanted to assemble my new M06 frame today and noticed that the chain line wasn't right or that the crank was touching the chainstay. I drive an xx1 34t and a power meter from Stages. In my opinion I need to increase the chainline from 52 to 55. That means I can throw my power meter in the trash and have to buy a completely new crankset. Is that correct or is there another option?

« Last post by jonathanf2 on Today at 01:07:17 PM »I only applied the rubber cement on the outside, but it dries and solidifies around the plug. After that I apply the dielectric grease as a secondary layer. I didn't like the idea of just using dielectric grease by itself since it's easy to take off. I figure the rubber cement should ward off most moisture, while the dielectric grease would be like frosting on a cake.
I got the idea because I had a leaky water sprinkler at my house and I sealed it with rubber cement. It actually did a very good job fixing the problem.

« Last post by sOKRATEs100 on Today at 12:20:41 PM »Did you apply it from the outside or inside? In the video from Luke you can see it also from the inside and he was saying that the cable plug got "inpoxied" in. So you aim to have a additional layer of holding water outside that might get inside the housing via the cable plug?

« Last post by jonathanf2 on Today at 11:55:08 AM »people have had success using liquid electrical tape around the RD cable plug. i bought a bottle myself but i don't have a thingy precise enough to squeeze out the stuff with any precision, so i'm not sure how to seal it efficiently. the stuff is sticky and dries super fast so it's not forgiving at all.
I used liberal amounts of rubber cement on the battery cables. It's a non-permanent adhesive seal that's easy to rub off. I then put dielectric grease on as a second protective layer. I haven't rode the bike in the rain, but it's been adequate against random water puddles and other wet areas. The only issue is that the dielectric grease attracts a bunch dust/debris. I'm thinking, maybe using rubber cement and then applying heat shrink plastic might be a cleaner solution.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Speeder Cycling SC-R55D
« Last post by Sakizashi on Today at 11:50:28 AM »Seems nice. Geometry and everything seems like a pretty conservative design, but thats not a bad thing. I do like the shape of the frame as it feels like a blend between the Tavelo Attack and Arow. I also think its an Adapt design. Maybe this one: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=841101518026184&set=a.227485472721128
Speeder seems to get pretty good reviews on here and the SC-ADV09 Bikepacking / Gravel fork is used by quite a few higher end builder as the lower cost fork option offered alongside Enve.
