29er / Re: Chinese Carbon 29er Pic Thread.
« on: May 03, 2024, 05:05:04 AM »
Some great bikes StefanB. I have not built as many bikes as you, but I'm always thinking about the next one! I find researching and building these Chinese frames much more interesting than just buying a mainstream brand.

It looks like you have some beautiful trails and scenery too! Where do you live?

what bike is this?  where can you find more information?  do you have a website please?  Thank you.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Very particular handlebar.
« on: April 11, 2024, 02:36:11 AM »
Good morning, I'm looking for an integrated handlebar with a stem similar to the one in the photo, i.e. with a stem inclined upwards at least 17°.  I ask you experts if any Chinese manufacturer produces them.  alternatively I could also put separate handlebar and stem but I would like to keep the sheath passage completely internal, also in this case I would need a 17° stem but with internal cable passage.  or another alternative would be a mtb style raised handlebar i.e. rizer.  If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much. :-\

I am curious too how these hold up.  I have been looking for an integrated version that is more like a true riser bar.
these bars all look the same, they have no rise and as I understand not even a positive angle. they are like the road ones, +7 but with the steering head inclined at around 73° it becomes approximately level with the ground

I have two, 12-speed Micro Spline 10-50s on different bikes.   I wrote ZTTO for a long time asking when they were going to sell this lightweight version with MS splines.   I have been using my first one for about 1.5 years and it has held up great.  I purchased the second one about 6 months ago, and it is on a bike I don't ride as often.   (My first cassette was probably from the first batch they manufactured. - They wrote me that I was the first person they were notifying that they were now available. so I purchased one right away.)

As a side note, 3 of my other 12 speed cassettes are XT micro-spline.  I can't tell any difference in how the ZTTO shifts versus the XTs.    I am also using The Wheel Top EDS OX on 3 of the 4 bike I run 12 speed.  (Soon to be all 4)
I have 7 rear wheels with 12 speed cassettes.  3 wheels run a XT cassette, 2 are ZTTO the cassette you asked about, and 2 have ZTTOs slightly heavier version.  2 bikes are Super-Boost, and the other 2 are boost.

well I'm pleased, you are an excellent tester!
I'm thinking about what gear to buy, I saw that Shimano makes 10-51 while the Ztto ones are 10-50 or 10-52. if you notice the difference in the teeth it is all on the last 3 largest sprockets. shimano gradually increases the number of teeth but until the penultimate 42 they are both the same then it jumps to 50 or 52.
I would prefer 10-52 to have a greater range of gears but the fact that between 42 and 52 there is a jump of 10 teeth stops me, isn't that too much?

I also purchased a sushine 12v 11-34 hg for the road bike, a low level cassette to test its operation and I'm trying it on a sram force group, it works well

Not exactly this but MTB cassettes have been a hit or miss for me including 11 speed ones. I think the cog spacing isn't consistent and considering how sensitive 12s is the indexing can be major pain to near impossible. The only Aliexpress cassettes that worked well were (for me) road spec small cassettes in the range of 11-30/32. The Shimano XT 8100 ms 10-51 costs less than this and weighs bit more at 460 grams but I think that is a way better option. On my 11s I eventually went with Deore M5100 cassette and for 12s I got the SLX M7100 and life's good again.
yes actually your thought is not wrong, with less money and little extra weight I get an xt cassette which will certainly be perfect, I wanted it to upgrade from the deore cassette which weighs 600gm
as a change I will mount an xtr

Good morning, do any of you use mtb sprocket cassettes?  I was particularly interested in a 12v 10-52 microspline.  I saw this one on aliexpress that has a good weight, what do you think?  Thank you.

good morning I would like to know if anyone has experience with this bar.  I would like a license plate on my Orbea Oiz.  The sturdiness scares me a bit, I weigh 90kg and I do sometimes very technical and disastrous routes, I wouldn't want it to be fragile.  can you give me some advice?  Thank you.

good morning everyone, on Saturday I tried and tested the 4 piston zrace brakes, I mounted them with your zrace discs.  on the first outing they seemed good, it took me a while to find the right grip then everything was ok.  braking is good, they have a lot of power and don't seem to suffer from overheating problems.  I tested them with the pads supplied in the kit which in my opinion seem metallic.  now I want to try them with a pair of shimano resin pads, which have always been my favorites for feeling, in my opinion they improve a lot.  I will update you soon.

ok, I read that they work with mineral oil, what type of oil do you use?  overheating problems?  Thank you.
