Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
I mentioned this in the Hygge Aero thread: Be cautious of any brand being heavily promoted online where the primary focus is on the asthetics of the frame (custom paint, UCI whatever) rather than the actual quality and performance. Makes you appreciate brands like Yishun. The problem with the Falath EVO as I see it is it's the perfect bike to attract clicks and views for YouTube. The frame design is unique (albeit polarizing) and budget-minded customers have been looking for the next good thing since Winspace. However, in real world practicality it does not seem like YouTubers are actually using their Falath EVO as their primary bikes. Just like LTWO ERX: Sounds great on paper and for views, but not as a permanent solution yet. Speaking of Winspace, it's interesting how 4 years later we have still yet to see a true one to one competitor to the T1500/Hyper Wheels in terms of branding, innovation, performance, and reach to the Western world. We've seen some wheel brands gain success by basically using Winspace's marketing approach, but not to the same level of success. Ironically, Winspace's success is also the reason they have been on the decline. November 14, 2023, 09:51:59 AM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Between Sensah and LTwoo GR9 11 speed mechanical cable pull shifters, which one do you guys recommend? I'm kinda liking LTwoo system for shifting but not sure. Get the Sensah Team Pro shifters and run them with Shimano derailleurs. The hydraulic HRD version will be on sale soon for the Black Friday sale. The LTwoo thumb trigger gets in my way. Sensah shifters are more ergo and visually clean looking. November 21, 2023, 12:07:29 AM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
I'm glad you went ahead with this frame. This thread was getting very tiring. Wishes for the build, looking forward to final result. November 22, 2023, 01:25:03 PM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
the Simplon Pride 2 still has the best aero score with some of its tubes looking more rectangular than teardrop.... Kamm-tail, not rectangular, very important difference. November 22, 2023, 02:54:43 PM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
Yes, I hardly had better shorts than these for the price, just a bit short on legs compared to their other shorts. They have much more men's styles Although uncommon for clothing... for cycling clothing women's style is still much less available than men's. Here are some photos. The thermo jersey is a slightly thinner than the spexcel type. I think it's possible to put it into one of the back bags .. that's what I usually did this summer, when I started early in the cold morning and ended lately in the warm afternoon. I am not able to freeze the first 2 hours of a daytrip. November 24, 2023, 08:47:16 AM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
No one is forcing you to read it. If you find it tiring, just move along. Just applauding change in the subject. Was it too loud for your little echo chamber you got going? Took a shot in the dark but still hit the nerve. November 25, 2023, 04:05:17 PM |

Re: Elves Falath EVO 2023
If Elves was giving me a free frame, I'd LARP the $hit out of it on this forum and make all you suckers buy one! Lol I find the blow back on that frame amusing. I mean, this is a forum for cheap carbon frames and components. If one was truly serious about their cycling, why not buy a name brand frameset and/or bike build? If you can't afford one, well go back to school and get a better paying career! Haha November 25, 2023, 07:37:14 PM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
What did you say to convince them to give you a refund? Did you admit you ordered the wrong one or gaslit them into thinking they sent the wrong one? You can't just order the same size from a different company. Even for western brands that's not working. And this is why trying a new brand is probably disgusting. If you take the sizing table. These values correspond to the jacket measurements (for ykyw.. that may be different for others). When you measure that values. Are they in agreement to the table? And why is it important to know whether the table indicates fabric or body measurement: E.g. if you have 100cm fabric measurement on the chest , your chest measurement must be larger, cause the elastic stuff is designed for minus values. If the jacket and your body have the same measurement, it will be to large. It's pretty ugly to get the right sizes when it's so easy ṭo get in this trap. And then it's also a question of ,'design'. If the designer wanted that to be very tight ,a size up could be good. And the other way round. November 29, 2023, 02:35:16 PM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
I've gone through this kind of sizing error with Spexcel, a jersey that was an S but the measurements were of an XS. I've just took photos of the measuring tape showing it was like 50cm instead of 54cm and sent as attachment in the dispute, this was enough to get full refund With Spexcel I had the same unpleasant experience. The table that showed fabric sizes was indicating M instead of XS (that's far off) . Plus i already have several XS Spexcel jerseys and the same jacket in my cycling stuff. Ali was on my side. I did exactly the same. The YKYWBIKE jacket size corresponds to the table. That's fine. But the values are significantly smaller than my body measurements. Of course one is not a good statistic. And mistakes do happen, which I asked whether the jacket and table are in good agreement. If there is a deviation, it makes sense to start a dispute. December 01, 2023, 11:11:09 AM |

Re: Chinese Carbon 29er Pic Thread.
There has been some bikes built. Me, my wife and my son has been upgraded quite a few times. During the pandemic it was easy to sell a used bike so I could build a bike, ride it for a couple of months and sell it for component costs. Now things have changed, its very hard to sell a home built bike so I have to many bikes and therefore no space for more builds But I am looking forward to the new LCFS948 frame, moste likely I can not resist to build one.
