Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Cheap Chinese Gravel frames under USD 500
« on: May 17, 2024, 08:28:13 AM »
Hi all

I’m looking for the cheapest options of gravel frames including shipping below 400-500 USD.
It can be alloy, can be heavy, but it needs to be of good quality (safety).

Any ideas? To be clear, I mean the lowest pricing segment, ideally significantly below velobuild and co.

Cheers and ride on

Hi there looking for recommendations on clipless race or (light) mtb shoes, purpose is using it on my new road bike. Any experience with chiner shoes? I have only seen travevelo’s review of one pair that was not recommended. The other option would be a name brand model. Open to any suggestions.

Component Deals & Selection / Wax your chain or die tryin

Jokes aside,

the hype of chain wax seems interesting for dry climate riding and there are many resources, among the infamous oz cycle formula with wax + teflon particles.
However, like many probably, I am put off by the higher maintenance need, initial investment and not lastly the actual work- and storage space you need for this.

Potentially Squirt is a good alternative, according to this ceramicspeed article:

Smoove also got very good reviews.

Any opinions or experience with chiner parts?
I will be using the YBN chain and a SROAD cassette on my roady.
