Re: Chinese cycling clothes
... I purchased two pairs, my first first into non-black bibs and wow! Even on long rides. Bought another two and now, I only ride with these. The only issue is that the S size are two cm short on the leg for me. June 17, 2023, 03:46:03 PM |

Re: Carbonda FM909
 11.3kg with pedals and bottle cages. ~3700€ total build cost with Sid/Sidluxe Ultimate, XT M8100 everything and cheap Go-Zone wheels with Novatec Hubs Finished building it up last week already and rode 120km on local trails. Initial impressions are very positive. Bike feels light, fast, pedals well and nothing creaks or rattles. Fills the gap between my gravel bike and a chunkier trail bike very well  Still waiting for frame plugs as a last finishing touch. Will get some more from Carbonda, the ones from AliExpress already arrived. Lets see which ones fit best. June 23, 2023, 08:58:04 AM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
Although the stuff i have currently (besides the jacket with the holes) is nice , I won't order again at Spexcel. It's just not worthy to have a roulette game regarding sizes. And then there was the bad reaction from the seller also. Mistakes happen.. but if they happen and the reaction is like this...I think I already shared here my experience with Spexcel, but somewhat similar... got a jersey which was an XS instead of an 'S' according to size table, managed to get refund but the seller communication was no good. I ended up getting 2 other jerseys from them, which I got a very nice price and decided to take the risk, those were very good and size according to table but the times I tried to talk with the seller about products, clear doubts about details, it's not good (and not only language barrier, like I get with most stores on AliEx) so the feeling is the same, I prefer to spend my money somewhere else June 27, 2023, 07:29:41 PM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
so, received this last week this new gillet from YKYW it's not all 'seamless' as sold, but it indeed has the seams covered on the most exposed areas. Fabric is thin, really light, and comfortable. I've folded it when riding to put on the back pocket and got impressed at the small size of it. now YKYW just launched some new colored jerseys, very different from the 'common' offers I need to control myself. lol. I'm not riding a lot outside these last months, and just can't handle the current amount of clothing I have, still I'm buying more. lol The sad story...I really wanted this jackettry taking a look at YKYWB portfolio, on the beginning they seemed to mimic Spexcel's offers so it's possible they have a similar product I have a thermal bib from them and really like it, comfortable, and it's a thin fleeced fabric June 28, 2023, 07:09:12 AM |

Re: SROAD lightweight cassettes
Well.... i have two rear derailleurs from the 8000 Ultegra line. One mechanic, one di2. So the newest 11 speed derailleur. That’s good to know, indeed. Thx for sharing. For what it’s worth: I’ve been using both the 11 and the 12sp version of these cassettes with three different Campagnolo drivetrains. They’ve been working flawless with each one of them. The 12sp cassette however I did have to put a small spacer behind. My rear wheel uses j bend spokes in a Novatec hub. So these protrude a tiny bit further towards the DS from the hub shell. That was enough to make the cassette spider touch the spokes when I put it on the freehub without a spacer. I think on a hub with straight pull spokes, I’d have no such issue.

Re: Which frame could it be? BALDISO Air Flight One
These boutique shops are funny. They're essentially selling painted OEM chinese frames at the price of an SL7. "material: carbon". Lol. Not sure whether it's infuriating or pathetic. August 02, 2023, 06:44:06 AM |

Re: Which frame could it be? BALDISO Air Flight One
It looks a lot like the Workswell WCB-R-306 I actually already had this on the screen, but the Gemoetrie table does not fit. But visually I find it very similar from the photos. August 03, 2023, 01:07:35 AM |

? 
. I didn't want it for free and also I didn't want to have something that is pretty much too large to wear. I really like my first jacket, it's a great fabric.I wanted to have a second one
