Re: Lewis Bike (Trickstuff 2 & 4 piston clones)
Hello there, this is literally my first post on this forum, but I'vei was a long time lurker; D. So... I actually own a pair of Lewis LV4 4 pistons (Piccola HD copy) .I actually got them from Taobao through SuberBuy (Taobao agent) to get them in France (yeah I'm French). The whole thing took 16 days, 3 days from the seller (the Lewis company I believe) to SuberBuy's Guangdong warehouse and 13 days from them to my mailbox. So the set costed me 256€ and Superbuy 36€ so less than 300€ in total  .Now the brakes:    November 09, 2023, 01:04:41 PM |

Newest 5 spokes carbon wheel for gravel bike
LightCarbon 700C Super Light 5-Spoke Carbon Wheel For Road-Gravel-TT 700C 5-Spoke Carbon Wheel Feature: -Three-spoke, five-spoke, and full-wheel rear wheels are widely used in triathlons, time trials, and track cycling. Five-spoke wheels usually excel in terms of aerodynamics and stiffness. The relatively heavy wheels on the market weigh around 2000 grams per pair. But our latest ultralight 5-spoke wheels weigh only 1300 grams (front 600g , rear 700g ). -LightCarbon 5-spoke carbon wheels are made of high-quality Toray T700+T800+T1000, not only superimposed, but also properly proportioned and elaborate lad up. All the hard work are for making this lightweight, high-strength multi-purpose wheel, which will give you better performance on the road riding, race and gravel riding. -Disc brake hub adopts 3-pawl free hub system design and ceramic bearings, which are smoother, stiffer and more durable compared to steel bearings. -The five carbon beams are designed in aerodynamic shape and are integrated with the rest of the wheels to add aerodynamics advantage by providing less air resistance. -Optional carbon weave : UD matte / UD glossy / 3K matte / 3K glossy. -2 years quality warranty. EXW price is about USD$999/pair. November 10, 2023, 02:59:55 AM |

Re: Velobuild VB-R-218
Finally got my bike built with ltwoo erx groupset, 105 crankset, ec90 saddle and a gold YBN chain. Rides amazing, and it's super quick. I really should've gotten it done earlier but life got in the way. November 10, 2023, 03:00:27 PM |

Re: New lightweight frames: Bigrock, Ican, and Onrii
Ican added a video on their site with the actual frame. I think it actually looks really good with that head tube. Screenshots of the bike are also attached here. Weight updated to 795g for a size 54. November 10, 2023, 08:59:13 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
I've been using chains from Aliexpress for >3yrs now, my take is that you need to be more aware of the store, if it seems legit, than of the reviews (because more often then not it's just a '1st impression', not a proper review) gone by 4 KMC x10 chains and all seemed legit, lasted around 8kkm so good enough considering all were bought on sale I'm on my first YBN set and I'm liking it, apart from one time that a link disengaged and I had to fix it on the road, nothing to complain. I've seen YBN on 'Choice' items, so I think it's worth taking a look, considering the low price it should be enough to try it at least. for the 11.11 sale in general, prices didn't drop much but that's usual for AliEx for at least 2yrs. But for Brazil at least the coupons this time are very good, and plus the progressive discount, it's the best sale in a long time! I've got this 3D saddle from Ryet to try out (have the Aircode one and love it) and also these VXW gloves to replace my YKYW ones.. also some Hualong bottle cages and other small stuff for my mtb. I'm trying to keep it cheap this time, not much money extra right now lol November 11, 2023, 09:27:07 AM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
The biggest annoyance is Choice Sale page for each seller. If you click on seller name from Choice page, you land on a very different seller page which has only Choice sale items on it and from there you can NOT ever go to main store front. It's mind boggling. There is a store front link right there, but clicking on reloads the page but doesn't take you to main store page. The only way to go to actual store page is to find a non-choice sale item, click on it, then find seller link and then click on it. You can modify the URL and remove "choice sale" tag from it and yet it doesn't work - the choice sale store page has different ID than main store front. Basically two different store pages for one seller and can't navigate between two. Insanity. November 12, 2023, 08:16:48 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
With that said, pretty good system for auto coupon codes this time. I like to play around with the cart items. Check, uncheck add remove etc and don't even have to copy paste correct coupon code. Earlier I used to have all codes copied in a notepad and apply them to cart. Hectic and chances of forgetting altogether. On mobile it was even more difficult. None of that annoyance any more. Any way, all except one of the carted items remained the same price for me as before the sale started. New MTB groupsets, brakesets, road shifters etc to be had for same or lower prices as that of used items on FBMP/OfferUp. Some of the best prices for Shimano I found this time came from OK-bike, Goddess bikes and Newbie. Anarancee was a little disappointing. Some small items came from random alpha-numeric-soup named sellers. Still have one unused coupon, but I'm out of items lol. November 12, 2023, 08:43:09 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Oof, this 11.11 is hitting my wallet hard. Carbon 3D saddle, KCNC derailleur cage, various carbon bits, tail lights, banana holder... And yes, a lot of non-sense on AliExpress this time around with ineligible items, out-of stock items, etc. November 13, 2023, 01:37:15 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Has anyone tried these Goldix XDR road cassettes? I'm not so concerned about the 10t cog, I like how the cog sizes are spread out differently for cadence purposes. Now only if I had an XDR freehub on my wheels... I've got one, I'm running a 10-36t with Sram Force AXS RD (rated for 33t max ) on my cyclocross bike. It's been flawless. Super light, installed easily, shifts just fine.
