Preorder is now available on Panda podium, $1880 USD for the standard version and $2380 USD for the ultralight version... Pretty expensive..

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Puncture proof Continental Gatorskin tyres any good?
« on: April 05, 2024, 10:50:18 AM »
I use these on my Gatorskins on my commuter, they are very reliable. I have a full year of commuting 22k each way, through some questionable urban routes on all types of surfaces. Im only running 25's, never had a flat.

Here is my recent A40 build. Size 49.

What tires will this frame clear? Ican says 28c but the Cinelli Pressure says 30c.

Tons of reviews showing exploded wheels, would avoid. I'm sure there are good examples, but clearly the QC isnt right. Not worth the risk IMO.

Care to link a few? or is it just one review from cade media?

I have these wheels specifically (RYET Gravel), mine are pretty good. I rode BWR Canada which had VERY rough mountain bike sections with these wheels, and they held up fine.

The frame quality really is great, it feels like a step up from the various chinese carbon frames I've had.

For the Raceworks cranks that are prone to cracking, I thought this was only for the pinch bolt style. It looks like they have revised the crank to be SRAM style which may fix the issue.

How did you do the custom branding? what sort of file did you send? how was it formatted? Was this all done through ICAN or a 3rd party?

Any chance the pedal extenders increased the leverage on the crank arm, contributing to the break?

I would say yes, a larger moment is being exerted on the connection point because of this.

Yikes, first failure I've seen of this crank. Its a shame because its one of the only 29mm spindle cranksets on aliexpress that's reasonably lightweight.

edit: looks like a similar failure linked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/comments/16p795v/dont_buy_zrace_rx_cranks_i_guess/

You could try a seat post reamer, though these are usually quite expensive.

Looks like the eGR brake calipers have a new design, they differ from the GRT design.
