« Last post by zerstorer on Today at 10:21:23 AM »Some c606 users have reported that the bike computers are now region locked. Might be the same for other recent production devices.
I bought my L508 when it was first launched in china and it works fine with both china and international app

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Magene L508 Radar bike light
« Last post by aliexpress_junkie on Today at 09:19:37 AM »That is the current version of the app, looks exactly the same but it connects to my L508 without that message.
I would contact Magene support.
There was rumour of two different versions of the L508, one built just for the Chinese market and the other for the International market. If you bought your L508 from AliExpress you might of got the Chinese version.
I did buy my from the "offical" Magene store on AliExpress, but that was 18 months ago.
Thank you, I did try contacting them via email and even their FB page but no answers so far after a week... I'm considering asking for an aliexpress refund at this point...
I did download the chinese app (wasn't easy for me) and it does connect, but then without any translation the app is completely unusable for me sadly...

« Last post by aliexpress_junkie on Today at 09:17:46 AM »I can't even use the english app, mine only connects to the chinese app, which is a bit annoying since there are no translations for anything. Is it possible there are two firmwares? Or even two hardware lights marketed for different regions and I ended up with the wrong one?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velo Build R-099 Build
« Last post by Serge_K on Today at 08:29:09 AM »Any update lately? I thinking about either getting this one or VBR268.
Unless there's a very strong reason not to, get the 268. The quality of frames from VB has increased a lot over time. I believe the 268 would fare very well in blind tests with a lot of mainstream frames. Stiffness, layup quality, weight, tyre clearance, all these things got better over time. I wouldn't buy an old VB if i can buy a newer one that fits my specs.
