Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
They apply a clear coat on carbon, matte or gloss, to protect the epoxy. From what I understood they get batches monthly, if in stock fine, if not, some wait is expected. Sure the national Holidays are in February. If neither Adam nor Wing answer as fast as usual, they must be doing or having something. But I wouldn't call it directly the end of Carbonda

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
...Just be aware Chinese clothing usually runs small, so go one or two sizes bigger. Spexcel is the same size as the European sizes. Look at the comments, many people put their height/weight and if they are happy or not, and you can see the size they ordered. January 13, 2021, 02:42:46 AM |

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets.
@carbonazza could you share which bearings you're using exactly? I bought this BB for use with a zrace hardrock crank, which has an aluminum spindle, and now I'm concerned about corrosion (steel bearing shell + aluminum spindle).I changed the bearing on my bike with the PF30 version of the BB, with 6806 bearings. The BB86 one comes with 6805 bearings with a ID of 25mm, leaving a space, well maybe too little, for the sleeve. BBInfinite provides sleeves too for GXP 24/22mm. Not sure if it is to protect the alloy spindle from the steel of the bearings( PF30 BBs do not seem to care about this). Or maybe 6805 are just bearings more common in the industry ? ...So last night I was boxing my bike for a flight. And I had to remove my power meter and therefore the cranks too...Was it explicitly requested by the airlines ? I never had any issue with rechargeable PM(P2M) on the bike. With Ryanair and TUI. Almost looks like steel, but yeah most likely not coated with anything.I was thinking alloy  Maybe try with a magnet, if it sticks or not

Re: 1st Build: TanTan/Seraph GR029 with Sensah SRX Pro 1x11
Thanks for the response. ZRace have a shop too on Ali, and are quite responsive too. But they can be more expensive. With EMS you're almost guaranteed to get a 48,5% antidumping tarif. I haven't tried it in a while, but that was the norm in Belgium. January 18, 2021, 10:35:32 AM |

Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
Could you ask Wing to check? So I did. My last message from her was 2 days ago. January 22, 2021, 10:31:12 AM |

Re: hub options for wheel build.
I have Novatec 411/412 on my gravel for 3 years. I was planning to change the bearings when I would notice some play, that never came. They have now an online shop in Europe(maybe US too) where you can order spare parts easily and fast. And with good tech support. However, changing the freehub to an XD one, wasn't as smooth as with DT-Swiss. I had to put a .25mm shim to make it work properly. January 24, 2021, 01:52:28 AM |

Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets.
I think the seal works on two sides. Preventing too much mud/water to arrive to the bearings. And a guess, they prevent water ingress at the shaft too. I find wet mud inside my PF30 one, that kills my bearings from the inside  The only option I found is to drill a hole at the very bottom of the BB, when the bike is horizontal. I had the same issue with a BBInfinite, and against their advice I drilled it at 2.5mm If water enters, it has a way out other than trough the back of the bearings. And my bearings last much longer. Then BB infinite came with these kind of seals. Probably better to have a trap, or a purge hole already below the frame to do this. However I did it on my 041 that didn't have any.

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Thanks! Then I am completly fine with my frameset It is called Flatmount, another type of brake mount. If you have postMount calipers, there are adapters. And insure the length of the bolts you need, they differ, depending on the height of the frame at these holes. In addition, they are usually sized for a 140mm disc, and you need an adapter if you put 160mm discs. January 28, 2021, 02:20:37 PM |
