But from Elite wheels website , it says up o 36c tire

Component Deals & Selection / Your thought on Sunshine cassette instead of Ultegra
« on: August 26, 2021, 10:49:56 AM »
Hi,

   Instead of using a Ultegra cassette which is expensive (50$ 10 speed, 100$ 11 speed   a least).
They cost 21$  !!


What are yout thought on the Sunshine Cassette  available on aliexpress ? durability ? noise ?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / various questions about custom build vs brand road bike (cost, issues, warranty)
« on: June 30, 2021, 10:32:43 AM »
Hi,

  I am very interested to build a road bike but I have a couple questions related to that

1 - cost !
     Let say I am interested to  the Shimano Ultegra 8020 Hydraulic Disc brake
     In AVERAGE, how much does it cost to custom build from A to Z compared to a brand name ?

2 - One of my concer is the warranty of the frame and the parts, since the parts and frame will be ordered at different places and arrived at different time ,
      I am concerned that the warranty will expried before I even can finish and try the bike

3 -  For the fork,  how do you cut and mount it ?  Yourself or a bike shop can do it for you ?

Thanks
