Re: What lube?
What chemical, if any, do you use to clean new chains ? prob overkill but this works for me: petrol bath few baths of turps couple of baths in metho round in the ultrasonic cleaner quick small metho bath just to check the condition of the metho to make sure it's completely clean/oil free/grease free into the oven to dry throw it onto a bent coat hanger, give a light dusting of ptfe in a bag and dump it into the wax pot November 03, 2023, 03:10:58 AM |

Re: Velobuild sent incorrect stem, ghosted me and delays shipping replacement
PayPal claim asap. That's unacceptable.

Re: Yishun R068D
Have you already received the frame? If so, how do you like it? Thanks! Not yet mate. Still another month to go I think! Got pretty much everything ready to go now, just waiting on the frame and a few other little bits I've got on order. November 05, 2023, 05:55:24 PM |

Re: Yishun R068D
r096. Was just asking since the title of this thread is Yishun R068D and I have some photos of those built up. November 09, 2023, 07:05:42 AM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
I bought the elastic interface ykywbike bibs not too long ago also as an experiment. Pretty sure the elastic interface pad is fake. It's really entirely different from the dhb bibs I have, yet it's supposedly the same model elastic interface pad used in both. Completely different density, nowhere near as comfortable, seems sweatier, meh whatever, the quality of the bibs seem ok but I'm certain the pad is just a regular chinese crappy pad with some fake branding.

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
Despite Hambini’s gripes about “other” YouTubers, Cam Nichols’s review had similar conclusions. His “carbon expert” guy had similar remarks about the Evo’s carbon quality—its shit. I love how when the elves distributor was approached regarding cam nicholls' experience, he went and blamed it on the mechanic. Saying he didn't know how to assemble bikes correctly. Pretty bad look in my opinion. November 17, 2023, 06:39:59 AM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
What I’m really surprised is that nobody (including Hambini) is reaming the Evo for its horrendous aerodynamic properties. Rectangular tube profiles and the fattest headtube in the game. I reckon it's just because there are so many shit aspects of the frame, it'd take an eternity to list it all. Maybe his ssd can't store it all haha. It’s so clearly a LARP of an aero bike. This is by far the best comment ever on this forum. I'm gonna need to add it as my signature hahahaha. I'll remove it if you want, though. November 18, 2023, 04:11:52 AM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
Yishun/Light Carbon - Best value under $1000. I would take a $700-$800 Yishun over an $1100 Elves everyday of the week. The downside is Yishun doesn't exactly offer paint options, and their frames lean more towards all-around than aero. The performance however cannot be overstated. Lightcarbon will gladly do a custom paintjob for ya, though! I think they might even commission an artist for you to do something entirely custom, if you really want. Yishun .. well .. I got my forks in gloss black lol. November 20, 2023, 11:01:46 AM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
Ok, but as far as being not being an “aero LARP” or answering what is the Chinese bike closest to $1100 designed with aero in mind the Blize is still a relevant answer in the context of development and process. I wouldn't get too caught up in it, I can't answer for the guy who wrote it, but the LARP comment, I'm sure, was just trying to make a point while being funny. Well, I found it hilarious, at least.

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
Maybe I was wrong, I actually found a photo of Elves aerodynamics research and development department.
