Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Sensah CRX/XRX
« on: August 19, 2021, 02:42:48 AM »
Does anyone have experience with these Sensah flat-bar groupsets? I'm considering them for a budget fitness bike setup.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Loose Sensah SRX derailleur
« on: July 08, 2021, 08:49:43 AM »
Did anyone notice this?

The derailleur (and the ring that contains the stoppers) moves freely, even after fully tightening the screw that attaches to the derailleur hanger. I'm hoping the chain tension will be enough to offset the cable pull, but it still looks weird.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / ZRACE crankset confusion
« on: April 13, 2021, 01:09:41 PM »
I've ordered the ZRACE RX 1x crankset (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001345854813.html) but it's pretty annoying/confusing to put together:
1) The nuts for the chainring bolts require a special tool ("chainring bolt wrench") to hold into place while tightening the bolts. Be warned if you don't already own this.
2) The T25 screws to mount the spider are the kind with a pin in the middle, so your tool needs to have a hole in it. I own four tools with a T25 bit (including two torque wrenches) and neither of them have a hole in it. The crankset does include a small tool you can use, but that is too small to get the screws up to 8Nm. I may try to replace these with SRAM screws. Both are M5x7mm, and I'm hoping the threads will match too.
3) The T25 screws shipped with a large rubber ring/band in the bag. I have no idea what that's for.
4) The dust cap looks like it's the Shimano Hollowtech type, but it's not (the Shimano tool doesn't fit). I have no idea how I'm supposed to loosen or tighten this.

Component Deals & Selection / ZRACE cassette issues
« on: April 06, 2021, 01:54:57 PM »
Does anyone have any experience with this cassette?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001909541518.html
It claims compatibility with Ultegra, however, I'm unable to set it up (video: https://www.icloud.com/photos/#0Xgo95rrLWaAbvNoU114yBBMQ)
First, I noticed that this 11-34 cassette does not require a spacer (unlike Ultegra and 105 11-34 cassettes, which require a 1.85mm spacer on 11s hubs). I can reach all the cogs, so the limit screws are fine. However, I can make heads nor tails of the shifting problems. Sometimes it refuses to shift up, sometimes it overshifts and shifts up two cogs. Same happens on the way down.

Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Miracle Cycling
« on: March 27, 2021, 05:01:04 PM »
Does anyone have any experience with this company? I came across them because they were listed as one of the manufacturers of Yoeleo bikes.
I am particularly interested in there CR08 aero frame, as it's one of the few aero frames with a stack/reach that is doable for me?

Component Deals & Selection / Subcompact cranksets
« on: March 25, 2021, 04:53:26 AM »
Does anyone know of any good Chinese 48/32 road cranksets?
I use Praxis cranks currently, but I'd prefer an option that doesn't require a proprietary BB.

Component Deals & Selection / Short reach carbon handlebars

Does anyone have any recommendations on affordable carbon handlebars with a low (65-75mm) reach? Some flare and rise are welcome too.

Component Deals & Selection / Foam tubing
« on: February 17, 2021, 06:51:05 AM »
Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can buy foam tubes, to put around hydraulic hoses to stop them rattling in the frame?
I suspect most Chinese frames don't include any foam/sleeve for this.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Frames for women?
« on: February 06, 2021, 07:26:32 AM »
Any recommendations on carbon gravel frames that come in extra small women's sizes?
I'm looking for a disc brake frame with clearance for 35mm tyres, and a seat tube length of about 42-44cm.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Winow FM102/103
« on: January 24, 2021, 04:59:12 AM »
Does anyone have any experiences with this frame?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32857980547.html
It meets the requirements for my ultra-low budget "in case it gets stolen" commuter, but I wonder if it's any good, given the price. It's also not listed on their website, so I can't find any more information about it.
Update: I got a message from Winow. Appearantly, this is an old model, so it's being sold at a discount to sell off old stock.

I cannot find any information about Leadnovo other than their Aliexpress shop. I wonder if this is a rebranded frame from a respectable OEM, or a cheap Tarmac lookalike.
