Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
I installed the old design on 5 bikes, and i cracked one non drive side arm at 6 or 7nm. Racework is largely useless to deal with. They made so many mistakes in my order with them that i can't remember the exact count. Beyond the cranks, i bought 12s chains from them, they sent me 11s, the bar tape they sold me is the absolute worst i've ever used, and more. They refused to warranty anything, including the crank arm even though it was low torque (they dont tell you what torque to use, btw), but i managed to buy a replacement one for cheap enough - abnormal, but at least i still have 5 cranksets to use and not 4, for now anyway -. We've put around 5k km on all these cranksets so far, i'd say. to avoid cracking more crank arms, i'm using 5nm and an obscene amount of threadlock. It's been working. Either way they updated the non drive side design. I wouldn't recommend them, goes without saying, but to be fair, i'm happy with the cranksets as long as it's not broken - kind of like i'm happy with my ltwoo er9 when it's not broken, the problem being that out of 5, 2 broke for no reason -, and their 3d printed saddles are nice too.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Well, you haven't had it for that long so too early to tell, I'd say. Exactly... Until everything went to shit i was saying the stuff's amazing. I charged / tried to charge my group last night after it died yesterday. Charged all night. This morning it was at 77%. Plugged into the wall, no funny business. So... idk. I doubt it's supposed to take more than 12h to fully charge. Which then means there's something that's not working properly. But i'm not in the mood to try to figure it out now. i have put 3500km on the er9 on my road bike since Feb24. May 07, 2024, 01:58:40 AM |

Re: Build Log - Carbonda hard tail for daughter's birthday.
Wing has just emailed through a image of the frame, the paint job looks fantastic and I can't wait to see it in the flesh! For an idea of the timeline: First email to Wing - 26/04 Payment made - 27/04 A couple of technical questions in emails between then. Photos of frame sent - 11/05 I will let you all know when the frame arrives with me and ready to build! May 10, 2024, 11:04:47 PM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
I really like these emonda looking frames. If you ever see one capable of taking 32C, please message me. I actually rode today with a guy who has a 6000 EUR emonda di2. Such a nice bike. He's an ex pro so in my book he's allowed to spend 6k on a bike :p May 11, 2024, 10:59:48 AM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
And the disaster continues. 3rd dead er9 RD. again, randomly and for no reason. Was riding with my friend, who really hasn't used his new bike much, less than ten rides for sure. Dry, 20 Celsius, smooth asphalt, largely flat. 35km into the ride, his RD dies like the other 2. So there's my er9 on which I've put almost 4k km that's working fine (sometimes it charges weird, but at least it's working), and the fifth one isn't being used because the front wheel on that bike broke during a crash and we're still waiting for a replacement. At which point can I preemptively ask for extra spare RDs? I'm happy to beta test, but we can't be 6 weeks without derailleurs every time one kills itself. May 18, 2024, 11:50:40 AM |

Re: Wheelset for 30mm tire recommendations
28mm internal would be insane and not at all fit for 28c tyres. You don't really wan't a crazy wide internal anyway

Re: Carbonda 505SL Integrated Stem
If I’m not mistaken 1200 is the original 505. This is the 2023 CFR505 SL (Super Light). 980? Dont Carbonda claim a 1200 weight? That is a big weight improvement. May 19, 2024, 03:32:48 PM |

Re: Velobuild Quality Control
I’ve seen enough VB complaints that personally I’d recommend Carbonda instead if there’s an equivalent model, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that all Velobuild frames are doomed.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
I don't know what to say, my ER9 is still working great.Your sample size is 1. Mine is 5. Beyond that and more importantly, a groupset is supposed to work, rather than break for no reason, so I am hoping that you're not the only user on the forum whose groupset is working! I keep posting about the issues with mine so that it's visible to others who can then decide where they spend their money. I expected it would be beta, but that's a farce of a product, not a beta. I mean the failure rate is 100pc, as the 5th group is not being ridden atm. If they were on point with warranty and support, I wouldn't necessarily mind too much, but they're not. Would be nice to have polls on the forum though, to know who's riding what. May 30, 2024, 03:54:29 PM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
For some reason my hyperlink to a YouTube video showing up the new L-TWOO eRX 'Blue' edition update did not go through. Without box version is smaller, with all items bubble wrapped. I guess it's easier and cheaper for the vendors to ship it that way. June 04, 2024, 09:36:51 AM |
