That’s not bad looking at all. What size is it? I might see if they can cut a deal.

China Cycling also has his first impressions video. Looks like theres already been an updated version since his is different than Luke's. Think I'll wait a bit until the first wave of issues is worked out.

« on: December 22, 2022, 10:26:28 AM »Dead Winow FS030. did this last night on a 2' drop at speed. Going to end my ice bike season a bit early this year. Pieces of junk most of these china bikes are. There's no overtravel limits like all other commercial brand carbon bikes I own.
Oh man. Thats a bummer. What do you mean by overtravel limit? What travel fork did you have on it?

Some fovno cranksets have had tolerance issues. But like most things Ali, you may get a solid one, or a dud.

The Zrace Blade claims to have a steel axle, but I have no personal experience with it.

« on: December 06, 2022, 11:31:48 AM »Alloy axle cranksets is one area I've been hesitant to make the switch with to AliExpress parts.
Only a few mtb cranks I've seen on ali that use a 24mm steel axle. Can't find any road or gravel steel axles, but most have moved to larger diameter alloy axles. I'd still prefer steel.

I have no experience with these BXT gravel frames, but with the current Black Friday $40 USD coupon 40DEAL, this makes it one of the cheapest gravel setups on AliEx. I already own two gravel frames, but if anyone is looking this could be a good bike build.
Seriously tempting.

Going with the lowest possible price from a seller with bad feedback score and poor reviews probably won't end well.

Sensah has a new rear derailleur for the SRX group with a (supposedly) stronger clutch like chain tensioner. Anyone have more info on it?

« on: November 19, 2022, 06:17:14 PM »I see the 11 speed rx hydro set is $320 on aliexpress.
Yeah. 11sp definitely looks more appealing price wise.

« on: November 17, 2022, 04:53:54 PM »Good find! I don’t have any real preference on 24 or 30 spindles. No idea if I’d ever even notice the difference. My mtn bike has 30 and my road bike has a 24.
Shimano 24mm spindle is steel. The 24mm alloy spindles have had some failures. Might not be a concern if you're a light rider or don't do massive sprint/climb efforts.

« on: November 17, 2022, 04:49:32 PM »According to the description it's alloy:
» Spindel ：Ø29mm Alloy Spindle
I was asking about the 24mm one the OP mentioned. Its says 24mm but does not say what material in the description.

There's also a Dub version. Not sure if that works with your set up. Some prefer the beefier spindle.
Can anyone confirm if that 24mm spindle is aluminum or steel?

« on: November 13, 2022, 08:25:14 PM »Placed an order for Shimano M6100 12s groupset with KMC chain and 11-46 cassette. Assuming Shimano components are genuine, felt like a good deal. The cassette is a weak link (Sunrace) but if it runs for a thousand or so miles I'll be happy. Overall not bad for $97~. Fingers crossed.
If the SunRace cassette is the weak link, then thats a pretty good deal. Their stuff is better than any chinese brand you'll find that's for sure.
