Re: What do you think of my theft-resistant mountain bike idea?
It is done in Europe, vin numbers on bikes are mandatory where I live. Bikes still get stolen left and right Only real benefit is that if you report bike stolen, they can check if it is found somewhere. And if they catch thief red handed, there is evidence. Rarely happens. January 03, 2024, 01:35:52 AM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
My rear derailleur stopped working as of a couple of days ago. I was starting a casual ride, and out of nowhere it stopped shifting. The motor makes a sound but no shifting happens. FD works totally fine. The template below was shared when talking to customer service. January 04, 2024, 02:24:02 PM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
Ouch I hope they will be back to you in any case because 2000 km are not enough to justify those cracks The official warranty for the frame is 2 years and it ended 4 months ago. But Carbonda looked at the photos and decided to send me a new rear triangle for free and even paint it for free January 15, 2024, 10:04:43 AM |

Re: LTWOO eGR
I was excited about this group when I first heard about it but with all the issues ERX has had, I'll definitely wait this one out a bit.

Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
Are you in a position to compare the size of the brifters to Shimano ones? I must say this group is beginning to look very nice. Absolutely easy to compare the size of the EDS shifters to Ultegra R8150 as I have both systems. For your information, my palm size is considered large for Asian (Medium-Large Caucasian?) The EDS aesthetically and physically is smaller. I can get a good hand wrap around the hoods with 4 fingers space on the underside. The Ultegra R8150 is bulkier due to the crested hoods for Di2 shift buttons on the top and has less underside space for only 3 fingers to wrap underneath. February 26, 2024, 03:27:55 AM |

Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
- For owners, do you think size m is ok for 170 cm tall and 80 cm insteam?I'd say no. Unless you want a very relaxed position with short stem, M will be be way too big, especially tall headtube. You will surely be better on S size. March 07, 2024, 05:13:13 AM |

Re: Chiner traveling bike case for road/tri bike
I've had an EVOC soft case for eons. It's served me well. The last bike i transported, i put in a bike box i got from a shop that was throwing it away. it might be the best option, especially if you already have wheel bags (protection). It would cost you between nothing and pretty much nothing, which is up to infinitely less than a hard case. Bike bags are insultingly expensive. I remember paying a lot for my EVOC bag, and since then it's just become a farce. A problem is long term storage for the 99% of the time when you dont use it. There's a ghetto aspect to it I enjoy. And you're recycling. And when you're done you can compost it. How many bike boxes are compostable? You can splurge on packing materials given your spend is so far zero to protect stuff. The box doesnt have wheels though, but i'm sure you can buy something on aliexpress and tape it on. Duct tape is always a friend. Because it's a hard box, you can ship it instead of traveling with it, potentially. After you've gone through the motions a few times, you realize there aren't many things that can go wrong if you protect the bike in the right places and stuff the box so that there's no rattling. If you're a civilized human you probably wax your chain which also means your bike is clean to start with. I think i'd trust a reused bike box from a shop more than a soft case, because a soft case is just awkward and subject to odd forces, but a bike box is engineered to stay in its box format.

Re: Carbonda fork vibration
I've put about 20 miles on it since tightening the top cap bolt and it feels solid now. I have an Origin8 expansion plug and will be replacing the Carbonda plug. Hopefully that keeps it solid.

Re: Ltwoo ERX warranty claim
If components melt in the sun then it's not usable. My friend had his er9 RD die at the start of a ride, for no reason. Mine died on Saturday during a descent with bad asphalt resulting in lots of vibrations. These are normal use cases. In fact vibration testing is supposed to be part of endurance tests for stuff, and pretty sure 5min of vibrations aren't supposed to break a derailleur. I'm now battling to get feedback from ltwoo via the guy who sold me the groups, and he's turning to be a clown so far. Extremely pissed off I am. April 22, 2024, 02:13:27 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Tempting and not tempting! The ER9 is slightly cheaper at $347 USD and they are adding discount bonuses bringing the total right under $360 USD with tax+shipping. Personally the ER9 has been awesome for me, but it's hard not to ignore issues other users have been facing.Yeah, with all the problems people are having with the ltwoo electronic groups it's no wonder they have to discount it... I wouldn't take the risk even if they gave it out for free. It's not worth getting stranded in the middel of nowhere. April 26, 2024, 12:02:28 AM |
