Re: Thoughts on Panda Podium?
If you follow chinese components you're probably aware of Joe's channel on youtube (China Cycling) and his upcoming venture Panda Podium. https://www.pandapodium.cc/coming-soon/ With rising prices on those Chinese components the last few years, what we do not need is a middleman to add some more to those prices...

Re: When do you change the cassette?
If they start looking like puppy fangs as opposed to human teeth, then it's probably time for a cassette change!

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
They are not the same frame. Not even a little bit, not at all.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
I have had a complete nightmare with the eRX groupset. Managed to get the grand total of 1 mile on it before the rear derailleur stopped working, not a problem as these things happen. Dealing with L-TWOO support is another matter... You basically get a small window of around 5 to 10 mins at around 8AM UK time where they read and may reply to your message and then that's it, they are gone for another 24h. It's taken 6 weeks to get them to agree to send me a replacement rear derailleur. In that time I have ordered a 105 Di2 groupset from China, waited for delivery, uninstalled the eRX and installed the Di2 and ridden 120km. Cannot recommend, the replacement still isn't here September 13, 2023, 10:26:31 AM |

Re: Flared (aero) handlebar: What width in comparison to regular handlebar?
I think it depends on what you are going for. If this is going on a bike where you ride mostly in the hoods but want more ability to keep the front wheel where you want when descending, i would match the hood width and go wider down below. If you want a more aero postilion on the flats without changing your descending, go with the width the same half way between the end of the drop and the hoods; right where you put your hands when covering the brakes. I personally run a moderate flare Vision road bar on the gravel bike (41cm C-C at the drops and 39cm C-C at the hoods, labeled as a 40cm) as I didnt want a big difference between the drops and the hoods. On the road I run an Enve SES Aero which is 35cm C-C at the hoods and 40cm C-C in the drops. They were the narrowest aero bars I could find 2 years ago and are the best bars I have ever used in the aero hoods position. They are comfortable and with a little work they definitely helped me get a much faster aero position. They do not negatively affect my ability to climb or sprint. Today, Speeder has a bar with similar dimensions to the Enve bar, but I would love to go even narrower with a 33cm hoods / 38cm drops bar. October 10, 2023, 10:57:44 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Regarding the Aliexpress app. I don't want to put a Chinese invasive app on my phone. I am sure there are ties back to the Chinese government. I am sure they are tracking you... Have U maybe ever heard about Edward Snowden and US government? October 12, 2023, 11:13:15 AM |

Re: Yishun R086-D Aero Road
Noob question: can I ask why?Wondering the same. In my experience the Neco expanders are very long but actually pretty low quality. October 13, 2023, 12:57:05 PM |

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
I like rhinowalk saddlebags, risk titanium bolts, towild lights. Just ordered a Rhinowalk stem bag mostly for a snack sack on my bikepacking rig. Pretty much a full set of oil slick Risk Ti bolts coming as well. (if you haven't noticed I'm new here and going wild with these parts deals...) October 14, 2023, 06:03:00 PM |

Re: Groupset News
What for me is very disappointing is the maximum cog it supports !!! I expected 50 or 52, but it is more like 45. Big mistake in my opinion, I literally jumped out of the boat
