Re: Spcycle R065 700C Full Carbon AERO Road Disc Brake Frameset Anybody take a chance on this frameset? Might order one and see how it goes. Wondering if they offer a direct mount derailleur hanger and custom paint to make it more enticing. @spcycle

Re: Supersix / Soloist / Addict lookalikes in 32C in 2024? I find Lightcarbon LCR-017 to look really similar to the SuperSix.

As for the Xlite, I like Yishun R-068D:

Re: Rd270 + carbon spokes vs DT240 + sapim cxray Funny enough, I had not heard of these wheels from Farsports/Wheelsfar until last night on this forum. Thanks for raising awareness.

Did about 30 minutes of research on WW. Now I want a set of 50mm 30ext 24int glossy UD wheels, carbon spokes on the RD270  8)

I've gotten so accustomed to 23mm internal with 28/30c tires that now even 21mm int wheels feel slightly harsh. What a time to be alive.

Re: New Chiner aero frame You got a sharp eye sir. I just received the frame yesterday and it's almost look like a generic SL7-ish frame. Only some parts are different.

the seat tube is thicker cause it's cheaper/easier to make, the geometry is fudged just for the sake of it like with all of these copies

Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame My vb-r-268 in matte black size M arrived today. Will start building it in the next days. Just waiting for the disc elite edge wheelset to arrive in a week or so.
I was a bit disapointed about the frameweight thou. I expected it to be less or around 1kg. It weighs 1102g with the rear thru axle mounted (41g). But I should have a road bike considerably less than 8kg at the end.
There were people in this thread complaining about the rear thru axle threads. So I emediatly tested it. This is what I discoverd:If you loosen the rear hanger bolt a bit, the thread works perfectly well and the thru axels goes in smoothly. When the rear hanger is tighten, then it is harder for the axle to be threaded in, and it may seem that the thread is crossed. But it is actually fine. I guess the hangermount is not perfectly alinged. A flaw I can totaly live with.
I am planing to use alloy link cables (like jagwire elite link) for the internal routing of the shifting cables, because I had very good experiences with this kind of cable housings at my previous semi internal routed frame. The shifting is more accruate, they are more flexible and they are lighter than standard housings. I already checked the bend in the stem/fork region and it should be just ok. I will keep you postet on the development of that nerdy experiment.
To relicate my bike fit I bought an extra set of spacers, which velobuild sent with the frame for $ 10. Now I am using around 4cm of spacers.

Issue for me would be that batteries eventually die which would render the whole derailleur useless.
From my perspective, worrying about a dead battery is a non-issue.   
1.  The fixed batteries on the new generation EDS derailleurs can be removed and replaced.
2.  When the battery pack fails, purchase a replacement. (As long as the derailleur/s are for sale, and perhaps for many years after production stops, a replacement battery pack will be available.)
3.  For other products that I have purchased, where I could no longer get a replacement battery pack, I have carefully opened the battery pack. In in every case, the battery pack used common and readily available rechargeable battery sizes.
4.  If by chance, I haven't worn out the mechanical part of the derailleur by the time I can't get a replacement battery, then I would make my own battery pack to keep the the derailleur running.

Re: VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame Size 56
Silver Chameleon Paint
Frame (no FD hanger): 1079g - I'm going 1x. FD delete saves 15g
Fork (uncut): 406g
Seatpost (with saddle clamp): 228g
TOTAL: 1713g

I'm going to assume the 950g advertised weight for a size M was unpainted, and the 180g seatpost didn't include the actual saddle clamp. The 410g fork weight however is accurate. No complaints to be honest. Both paint and facing surfaces look good too.

For Reference...

Giant Propel Size ML
Frame: 1071g (both hangers)
Fork: 361g
Seatpost: 198g
Total: 1630g

Tavelo Attack size L
Frame: 1041g
Fork: 443g
Seatpost: 156g
Total: 1640g
