Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Dengfu R12 name brand model? and experience?

would you point it towards an endurance geometry/stiffness or much more race oriented? i took my fm098 for its maiden voyage today and you feel every freaking pebble.

i dont know my optimal stack and reach number... i always went with frame sizing... i know its the wrong way to do it and ill probably be called an idiot but ive only ever had a 61 cm gravel bike and my new fm098 that i rode. so i guess i should spend a lot of time on my road bike currently before i take my stack and reach into any consideration?

if youre still interested, i bought the r12 too. im 6'7 so i feel your pain. dengfu is the only retailer i can find that makes 61's. the next highest was either winspace, yoeleo, or ican, who made it in 59 (MAYBE 60 depending on the frame, i forget, def not 61). i fit in a 61 but im all upper body, my inseams equal to like a 6'1 guy. so youd probably fit nicely in a 59. for my next build (if i sell my current fm098) i might get an ican a9 in 59 and hope i can squeeze my ass in it.

what the hell. i have a dub bb and that didnt work. used their zrace bb included (really good quality for the price tbh) and that didnt fit either. used my calipers and also got 30. every listing i see it is for 29 so i guess they screwed up, i dont know, its in the past and it was quite confusing

xoss cadence and speed sensor (a single sensor can do speed OR cadence, just need to take battery out and in once (red is speed blue is cadence light iirc) and i have the g+, kind of wish i went the extra $35 and got the gps sensor. would help for my long solo rides.

i have a wahoo tickr heart rate monitor, it was $25 in like new condition off mercari so it was the same price as magene, xoss ect, figured if it is more accurate, same price.

its called a security torque i think... i ended up stripping the crank arm because i installed the chainrings wrong.

ended up doing multiple chargebacks thru ali, paypal, and my cc to help cover the damage, they said it was 29mm when it was in fact 30.

Hi im wondering if anyone owns a dengfu r12 disc. I know one review said it had bad brake alignment and melody said they fixed it. I have one in the mail currently, stuck in customs.

Also, does anyone know what its supposed to replicate in terms of name brand? the fm098 is only like 2 degrees more slack or something like that and besides the seat clamp its identical to the 2013 venge. Is there an equivalent for the r12? people suggested canyon, too far off. some suggested the merida reacto, also too far off. open to any ideas and ill check geometry geeks! if anyone has a premium subscription to geometrygeeks itll definitely narrow it down

Component Deals & Selection / carbon integrated handles (not all in one)
« on: April 02, 2021, 09:38:39 PM »
has anyone bought carbon handlebars from aliexpress? the s works aerofly copies specifically. i have the ones that have the kocevlo branding on it and i can break them if i try hard enough horizontally, but to be honest, when will they feel horizontal stress and not vertical? anyone have experience with the specialized branded ones?
