Re: In-frame triangle storage box ala Speedmax
I researched this extensively 2-3 years ago and couldn't really find anything.  The speedmax has screws, as do some tri bikes like the P3 so your best bet is just a small tool roll with straps to secure it like the dakine hot laps gripper, or using any bottle cage extender but it never looks pretty. Something neat like the specialized SWAT has to be made custom for a frame that has mounts for it. It's a shame gravel frames don't come with more mounts and their proprietary bags to seamlessly attach to, I'd pay extra for that

Re: In-frame triangle storage box ala Speedmax
I researched this extensively 2-3 years ago and couldn't really find anything. yup. i'm surprised why this kind of simple rubberized 'box' storage isnt an in-demand item for any chinese company to mass produce. simple to store some tool kit or easy access larger nutrition carry-on stuffs. In fact why doesnt canyon sell it in their parts store section? Theres few hard case solutions, but theyre north usd100. to retro fit on generic frame, i was just thinking to use long perforated plate and mount to 2 bosses on seat tube n downtube. the plate itself may provide some rigidity to the bottom part of the box April 02, 2024, 06:39:33 AM |

Re: AXS Batteries
I bought some from the RRskit brand. The battery of the rear derailleur lasted 450 km until the LED flashes red. The front derailleur has lasted 900km and is still green. I paid €15.11 per battery in December 2023. This is no longer so cheap, but the price is between 20-25€. https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003106894743.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.78.30615c5fPOJhC1&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu April 05, 2024, 07:33:18 AM |

Re: Kids Size Chinese Carbon MTBs?
I have used Cruz crank on my kids bike and it’s a pretty good piece of kit. As for frame you have a few more options than BXT but it’s the one I will use for my daughter 24” https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLzn0Ym https://a.aliexpress.com/_mL6YuXc https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN6di4Q April 16, 2024, 02:35:43 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Same here I've only broken chains, but I've never broken a quick link be it Shimano or even the cheap ones. The SUMC and Rider Ace quick links can be bought in bulk. They seem to have a shorter use life, but you can have like 50 of them for not much money.I have been purchasing the Rider-Ace quick link 5 packs when they are on sale for $1.79 or $1.99. I have a few in use, and none have had any issues. This being written: My usual chain routine is... When I install a new chain, I use the supplied quick link (Usually KMC chains) to first set up the bike. The quick link that comes with the chain gets installed and removed 2-3 times, but not ridden under load. After the chain is the correct length, I remove the new chain, clean it, immersive wax it and then final install it on the bike. Then I leave the chain on the bike, regularly adding liquid wax. After it starts to look dirty, I remove the chain, clean it and immersive wax it again. (I do this 3-4 times a year.) When I install the chain back on the bike, I use a Rider-Ace quick link. On average, I end up replacing my chains about 1 to 1.5 years. Therefore, I go through 2-3 Ride-Ace links per chain on a bike. I've been consuming around 8 to 10 Ride-ace links per year.

+1 for riderace. I have that 5 pack of quick links for 11s chains and using a couple. They are fine. Don't stick out or anything. To be honest I keep reusing quick links too and change them only when I get a feel that they are too loose. Yet to break one.

Re: Where are the best online places you've found for OEM parts?
You're going to have to be a little more specific. Overseas means nothing to us since we don't know what continent you're in, we have people from every continent posting Quality brand name is also quite vague. We're on chinertown, many of us would call 9velo/ZTTO/elita one/magene reputable or quality brands. Do you mean western as in prologo, SMP or san marco? We have threads to discuss saddles and handlebars and the tldr seems to be that "the one" clones are the best value handlebars at a budget and saddles to be too personal so it's best you take measurements and see what fits among the recommendations April 21, 2024, 03:42:05 AM |

Re: In-frame triangle storage box ala Speedmax
Bumping this thread because I found a company with some very interesting concepts https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/the-holy-rail/products/holy-rail-triangle-box-kit I don't think they quite make exactly what I want but a modular slider rail is a very interesting idea to me. Maybe as an intermediate DIY product this could be exactly what we were looking for April 23, 2024, 05:40:27 AM |
