Re: Road 12 speed Cassette for Campagnolo Hubs I highly doubt that chinese manufacturers will bother to make a third party cassette for n3w hubs. It's just not a very popular freehub that would make a very niche product. Even if such a product existed it would be expensive and I think he would be much better off swapping for a HG hub ($40-50) and then some HG cassette (another 40)

Re: Terrible customer service by Carbonda I think you're just entitled sorry. I had 44 emails with Adam and he would usually reply in 1-2 business days, but busy months happen.
When I saw the title I expected bad faith warranty rejects or rude emails. I've had misunderstandings and I had to double e-mail because he forgot, but overall Adam is very understanding, patient and polite and I suggest you do the same. If you buy from china you must be ready for these conditions.
If you want overnight shipping there's amazon. You'll survive.

Re: Terrible customer service by Carbonda
try to give the big brands a mail, iff you get a answer in a month you are lucky.
my experience with the Chinese brands are realy good when it goes about reply the mail, bad experience with delivery times.

That's actually a good point. I've emailed a bunch of western recognizable brands like garbaruk, rotor, wolftooth, focus, canyon and probably more that I can't think of
No reply at all from wolftooth and focus, canyon employee was visibly annoyed, used familiar language and overall unprofessional manners and rotor took a couple weeks. only garbaruk had quick, polite and to-the-point answer. I'm not sure why OP expected a special treatment from carbonda

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Using the RideNow tubes on my race bike for over 1000km now combined with Conti GP5000. I installed them as I do with butyl tubes...
Rolling great no problems, rolling well. However you need to check the air pressure more frequently.
They seem to loose more air than butyl but still way less than Latex.

I also have them as reserve tubes on all my bikes including the gravel due to space and weight savings.

I find that they vary a lot. Have 3 installed currently, one literally doesn't leak, still hard after 4 months. One deflates after about 2 months, other flat after 3 weeks

Re: Flyxii FE-02 Build The ZTTO axles on alix have a 6mm hex if you want. But I think the metal is a little soft and easy to strip

Re: WheelTop EDX OS Series Wireless MTB Drivetrain
What is the point of buying wheeltop edx while a GX AXS is cheaper and proven?
Or is the quality of wheeltop more on the same level as XX1 groupset?

novelty  :)

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Can someone send me an aliexpress link to stores selling legit YBN 11 speed chains please.

I recently bought a shimano 11s chain as a backup from Ali and am only now realizing it’s a fake. I bought it from “preference cycling store” who had pretty good reviews for the chain but looks like the people reviewing it are not able to tell. The key giveaways were that the check mark at the front of the box on the bottom is printed (should be done by hand) and the quick link is in the same package as the chain (should be separate). I’ve read some good stuff about YBN chains, so I think I will give that a try instead

This is the one I bought. I ended up not using it because they sadly only make 116L in 11 speed and my bike needed 118 links

Re: WheelTop EDX OS Series Wireless MTB Drivetrain I do really like this approach of letting us truly choose the cage, numbe of speeds and mounting.
If only we weren't restricted by the braking lever on the road. STI was a disaster for consumers

Mongolian UCI team running all-chinese bikes I was browsing procyclingstats and stumbled upon a mongolian team. Opened the gear page to see what kind of bikes and had a nice surprise:

Just wanted to share because I found that very interesting. Mongolia fascinates me and as a geoguessr veteran I would love to see the roads they train on... Any insight?  :)

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
It is one of the superdeals at the moment. I also buy in USD and let the creditcard  company do the conversion. That's cheaper than buying in EUR from Ali
I can indeed save about 50 cents by switching to USD but I'm still at $22.70 or $17.70 if i open a in a private tab for the welcoming bonus. Switching to a delivery in Germany saves another .10 Do you have coupons or something, or are there more tricks I've been missing all along?
