Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / UAEcycle - BROSS Zenith
« on: February 13, 2024, 12:32:13 PM »
Is anyone familiar with this website or is it likely a scam? I see they have a few Bross Zenith’s in stock… https://www.uaecycle.com/

I haven't noticed any effect from it, except if I want to run larger tires. The asymmetry is a the chain stay and seat stay though so I don't think its due to tube profiles.

Its probably 2-3mm. Enough that its visible. I think either they sent me the wrong bearings or there is an issue with the headtube. I'm worried its the latter since visually the bearings look the same as what has been previously posted.

I went ahead and built the bike up anyway and have been pleasantly surprised by how well it rides. Its pretty snappy and handles well. A couple issues ive encountered:

- the headset
- it seems like the spacing is off on the rear. There is 3-4mm more clearance on the drive side than non driveside. When L45er measured the tire clearance earlier that seemed to be the case on their bike too. Ive tried a few different wheels and they all line up the same.
- the brake mounts were painted over
- the compression plug has some sharp edges that hang over the steerer

Overall, I'm happy with what I got for $700. If they could fix these few issues it'd be a homerun.

Has anyone had issues with the bottom headset bearing sitting too high on the fork? Looking at other builds it seems like the gap between my head tube and fork crown is too much

Thanks for such a detailed review! What’s the tire clearance like? It looks pretty tight in the rear there.

Thanks for posting all the updates! This was exactly what I was looking for. Going to put in an order asap. How long did it take to get to your door from ordering?

Thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing it!!

Would you be able to measure the tire clearance for me? I know airwolf says 40mm, but I’m hoping it’s more like an aspero at 45mm… Thanks!
