You can't trust them. I can cancelled my order. They give no info on this frame and just keep pushing the date back further and further.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Vortex Carbon Spoke Wheels
« on: September 24, 2021, 08:50:11 PM »
Thanks RDY going for a set of 25mm. Limited by the frame.
There is just so little info on the Vortex that is stopping me from pulling the trigger asap. At least winspace has a bit of a history. Just trying to get more info to make sure I don't end up with an overpriced dud.

Any chance someone here has had a go at the Vortex Wheels?
Trying to toss up between the Vortex N4 and the Winspace 38 right now. Price difference is big and testing of the N4 is fairly lacking except for a few Chinese blogs.

Best bet with all the OSPW are to not bother if they are cheap. The bearings are usually unsealed and any benefit that was there is gone in the first few kms. Shifting performance of the Taobao OSPW are horrible vs stock/ceramic speed.
Waste of money.

I have the F1. It is great. Only issue is that its OD2 sizing so you need to use a spacer for the normal fork tube. Only downside.

Those are it, stiff and light with that little lip to retain the bottle in it.
You can find them cheaper. Just search GUB on Taobao and more will come up.

Bought some of the ultra light Bontrager clones from Taobao last week and they were horrible. Didn't grip the bottles well at all. Ended up staying with my GUB SL cages I got from Taobao last year. (I live in China so can order easily)

Got confirmation that my August ship date is October or later... Not exactly impressed that I had to go speak to them to find out that there would be a minimum 2 month delay and probably longer.

This is what I received.
Also has anyone had a shipping update of October? I saw above that someone was quoted that but I haven't had an update yet.

« on: June 29, 2021, 09:54:23 PM »
For lightweight change out the hub for a 240/180exp and then either BERD or titanium spokes... The CX-Ray is your best bet though. They are relatively cheap and awesome at what they do. I have them paired to most of my wheels.

It's weird when you got a note saying it's pushed back when people have already had deliveries. I have an order in and was told August. No updates given yet to me though.

29er / Re: Frames that accept 2x11 Di2
« on: June 23, 2021, 09:34:35 PM »
Full suspension/Hard Tail? XC/Trail/Enduro/Downhill? Running a 148 vs 142 is not really a problem but it wont be compatible on your gravel bike... So stick to boost as its the new normal. This is the 29er section there is another for 27.5. Most will take di2 with boost. Are you looking for a specific holder for the battery?
