After The Ride / Re: Are AliEx/open mold carbon bikes common in your area?
« on: April 16, 2023, 07:59:38 AM »
I think I haven't seen any other Chiner bike in wild, neither on- or offroad, besides my friend who owns a Carbonda and a Velobuild.

The "normie" is scared of Carbon, especially if it's off AliX / directly from China and gets some massive overtraveled EMTB through a company bike lease scheme.

I think no one has experience with those frames because they only sell wholesale.  :(

But yeah, the 364 is really interesting and from what I heard are Workswell frames good quality.

Some people on the german forums also have them on their bikes now. And found a way to bleed them (3rd link)

First impressions are good!

They look like an updated version of the iiipro brakes.

IIRC the guys who had them in the german forums said that the old levers were for quite big hands, and I think one had the issue that a caliper was sweating a bit oil.

After The Ride / Re: What is this paint job?
« on: May 29, 2022, 09:05:25 PM »
Yeah, seems like it's a chameleon blue, but not a full opaque layer of it, so the black base shines through.

The Workswell WCB-M-364 would be the best choice imo, a rear triangle pivot, 120mm rear and 130mm front, a 65.8° HA, and pretty light because it shares all the frame but the rear triangle with the 363 that is their new XC-bike.

I like that one too, I contacted Workswell in early march, but they couldn't tell me anything yet about the frame, so I guess it still takes some months till it's available.

I'm also doing my chains the OZ way.

I'm using industrial cleaner/degreaser for my chains, works great.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Xoss/iGPSport, other computer companies?
« on: April 06, 2022, 03:42:21 AM »
I've seen that one too. Quick search throws out a shop from Australia, which offers it for $300 AUD.
That's around 210€.
IGS 620 is at ~140€, Garmin Edge 530 ~200€, Wahoo Bolt V2 ~260€.

I know who will have the better software and support, and it's not iGPSport.

Here's a new video showing the Wheel Top 1x12 wireless electronic MTB groupset in action. Rumors are pointing to Wheel Top revealing their road groupset this year.

Seems to be available now.

But more than 30% more expensive than a GX AXS.

I also contacted them about the WCB-M-364.
They don't know anything about price, weight or availability yet.

And I don't know why the chinese companys don't stop teasing stuff until it's ready for shipping within a month or so.  ::)

I'll be interested to see what gets announced by either them or others at the Shanghai Bike Show in May.  Pretty sure we'll see commercial availability of wireless electronic MTB drivetrains announced by a couple of brands.  Maybe 2023 for road.

I'm also interested to see. Some company (otherwise unknown for shifting-stuff I think) had a wireless MTB groupset prototype on last years show, but shifting quality wasn't the best, and the price wasn't that much lower than a GX AXS iirc.

Cassette should be good to go, looks like the ZTTO one.

Chain should be from SUMC, I'd rather stay away from that one, especially at that price.
