Metal Frames / Re: Comparison between different Ti frame builders: Waltly, xcad, Titan cycles, etc
« on: July 23, 2024, 11:52:17 PM »
have had two bikes with waltly... no issues.

ive just received a bike by XCAD, the bottle cage screw holes are too low so cannot hang a FD unless i get a custom hanger. also i wanted it  to fit 35MM tyres which it does but sit very close to rubbbing, if my wheels dont run true ill be in trouble.

Did anyone tried those MCELO handlebars? I am looking for something with -17 degree stem to lower my stack on a Gravel bike. The seller told me that this one is -16. But you know don't know if can be trusted. On the auction of the mcelo frame on the bike pictures it does not look that steep but on drawings it says - 16. Funny that they don't inlcude those drawings with angle on handlebar auction.

Would be cool if someone here used it and can tell something about them.

i have ordered for my build, was 223AUD and i see the price has gone up to 400AUD.

This is concerning for me considering a future purchase. My summers are ridiculously hot and humid. If it can't handle heat, then I'll have to pass on it. Please keep us updated.

the only thing i could think of is it got killed because i left it  directly in the sun, the metal part of that RD wouldve got some serious heat. it was 38 degrees celcious here that day.

Thanks for the help. I managed to get them through Ali express chat although they take a day to reply so it’s been a long process.
They have sent me today a replacement RD so I’ll let you know how I go.
I’m thinking I have left it in the heat and something inside has melted. Shifters and FD seem operational so wish me luck with this RD replacement

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Ltwoo ERX warranty claim
« on: March 25, 2024, 12:40:16 AM »
hi team,

ive tried to contact Ltwoo for a warranty claim with no luck, anybody have any experience with this?

essentially i rode my bike on a hot day and  now its not working, i have a red light in the rear deraliour. i have replaced batteries and battery housing stick with no luck so my only other choice would be to replace the rear.

i rode the bike with no issues during a 39 degree celcious day then stored it and it has completely died..... it can charge and pick up a Bluetooth signal but nothing else.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Help needed with Fork
« on: February 05, 2024, 04:26:43 AM »
Hi Team,

Long story short im in need of a carbon fork with a length of 395mm, offset of 50mm +/_ 5mm and tapered with internal routing that allows up to 35mm tyres? Any suggestions?

Silly me ordered a Ti bike with gravel geometry but I’ve only requested max 35c tyres…… gravel forks are longer so can’t put a road fork on.

It probably can take it, (I run it with a 34t without issues), but the problem is not that, the problem is that it has a pretty weak spring. For road it more or less works, but chain hitting the stay and flying around will definitely be an issue  with such a weak spring.

i agree with this. should be fine the spring isnt great
