Re: Separate set - narrow handlebars and low stem - for internal routing
Sup guys,
as im contemplating on tt-x38 frame, im looking for a separate stem-handlebar combo for full internal routing. 

The reason is because I already have stem-mount tri-bars Controltech Falcon mini (must be used on fixtured squared/round stem). Using normal drops handlebar, at least i can still race in draft-legal races.

so far stem-handlebar combo available is https://www.velobuild.com/products/2021-new-carbon-handlebar-with-separate-stem , but i dont like the look of the stem.
for stem thats internal routing, theres this kocevlo stem : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005436665835.html .
i need help for handlebar recommendations with center hole that the brake cables can go direct into center stem.
*in event i want to convert full tri cockpit, i can use TanTan tri basebar as it has center hole for direct internal routing into stem

Also i remember seeing theres an oem factory that makes similar handlebar style with mono-tri bar attachment like the new canyon aeroad cockpit (it looks a lil fugly; but hey, a solution worth considering), but i cant find it now. Do link me if you recall the brand

< edit >
found
- kocevlo dropbar with center hole : https://a.aliexpress.com/_onGIVuF
- bxt dropbar with built in tri-bar mount (but not full internal routing): https://a.aliexpress.com/_olP635N
- the fugly mono-rise tri-bar i mentioned above seems to be this falco clipon : https://a.aliexpress.com/_oFSRLVH

Deda superzero rs handlebars with deda superbox stem, they confirmed to me that handlebars can be clamped with clip on aerobars.
I wouldnt trust kocevlo 150gram carbon handlebars to withstand forces from clip on bars

Re: Road carbon wheels/rims, 23mm inner width Yoeleo is currently having a Black Friday sale on both their wheels and frames.

My set of C60 DB PRO wheels came in real world weight of 1373g with steel spokes. Rim specs are 23mm internal 32mm external. I imagine the C50 version will be around 1330-1350g. Yoeleo said these can pull double duty for gravel as well.

The BF sale drops the price from $1000 to $800
Full Disclosure: I do have discount code to save an additional 10% which puts these at around $720. Anyone can send me a PM for the code.

Well before I was provided any promo code from Yoeleo, I had already done a video on these wheels months ago. And I've concluded this new latest line of DB Pro wheels will make it into my Top 5 favorite (ready to ship) wheels. The specs to weight to price ratio are pretty compelling. Of course it's very tough to compete with OEM suppliers on price if you're willing to wait a few weeks for fulfillment.

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM
anyone have a contact point at F-C? or is it just through aliexpress shop

Ali shop is easiest I believe he's on another site if you speak mandarin that Oralmaster originally found him on? I'd wait it out until after chinese new year + the v2 model should be available soon.

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM
the prices do seem better at Taiwan Eisen but they told me there is only a single t1100 eps tier ... if i remember correctly there were already a couple of purchases from this store (v1 ostro and sl8) and quality was inferior to F-C?

I have recently purchased a SL8 from Taiwen Eisen and from another store. The quality of the Taiwan Eisen’s frame is top notch compared to the other one. I haven’t built the bike yet but at first sight, it’s pretty excellent to me, especially for 600USD (shipping including and no taxes).

Here are few pictures of the interior of my frame (sorry for the quality) VS the F-C’s SL8 (white and green color, they sent me some pics)

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM
Which store will you recommand ?

I can only recommend the one i dealt with which is F-C who has shown to deliver reproducible quality, they also seem to only focus on two frames (the blurred out Pinarello TT frame and the Factor) soon to be the v2 Factor. Whereas Taiwan Eisen is selling every single high end frame copy, I'd trust the store/reseller who focuses on one specific thing over the one saying they can perfectly produce you a Colnago fake, Madone fake, SL8's etc.

After seeing the interior of the other frame in here there is definitely not just 1 factory pumping all these Ostro V1's out, they are very different quality interiors.

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM
I asked RK Ultra Extreme Carbon Fiber Store about shipping to the EU/Germany, which isn't possible atm. They said that they're working on implementing DPD shipping "this year" and to wait patiently for a while.
i ask the same. and they want to help them to understand how dpd works. i sent them all info and told me that they send very soon
