They're obviously reducing STA 0.25 degrees each size, so you're right.    Besides it would make no sense to seriously slacken the STA on a gravel frame (IMO it makes little sense to slacken it at all from the small sizes).

I really like that the frame has short chainstays and slack headtube angle. Just don't understand why it has such a short reach and tt. I am 187 and looking at geo chart I would need size XL with 110 stem I think. The stack is reall high at this size. And size L with 556 TT would be to small. That would be a really short tube for fast gravel or singletracks
Seems strange to me. Or am I missing something?

Hey Dave I really like the frame but find the geo little confusing. It has short reach and high stack especially for a XL frame. I think that there has to be a mistake in a table on seat post angle in size xl. I tried in 2 different calculators and things don't add up if the seat angle is 72.5 degree. It only works and other measures are correct if the seat angle is 73.5. Please see the attached photos

Would you mind sharing the links ?
I tried 3 Spexcel ones, but I'm overcooking in them.

The only great winter(when no rain) jacket I did buy were called Runchita, and I'm still using them as from 2019
They are unfortunately not available anymore.
These are not the same, but I didn't try as they don't have the S size:  https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ey8xBmR

wait it's size 55  ? no 54 size this bike..
ok so stack considerably higher than pure race bike.

I find it strange they recommend size 550 for height low as 174, when stand over in this size is 83.3cm.
maybe someone can comment on sizing.

Yes the sizing seems a little odd. I am myself 187cm with 88 inseam and 55 is the size I would ne choosing. 575mm top tube is sweetspot for me on gravel. Can't imagine riding almost 600 top tube with the bigger size reccomend for my height

I've ridden these for a season with no issues, I put them through their paces running a few blue rating mountain bike trails. One thing to note is these are hookless, when I bought them it wasn't clear in the Ali page.

Yes but hookles gravel/mtb is not an issue due to low pressure. Road is where it's not good.

My gravel bike has been begging for some new wheels  :'(
I snagged these Ryet gravel wheels for around $385 US after coupon stacking: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805170124710.html
I was leaning toward Elite Wheels ENT/SLT/SLR but ultimately decided for Ryet as I prefer the wider internal rim width and lack of logos.

Anyone have experience with these?

Did u get the wheels? Any review possible?

I have now received my wheels.

2023 Ryet Gravel Carbon Wheelset with 36t rachet style hub. They weigh in at 1490g which is approx. 60g heavier than the quoted 1430+/-30g.
30mm wide hookless rim and 38mm deep.
They were well packaged and seem well finished. Came with tape installed and 2 spare spokes and 2 spare nipples.

Hey bro, can u give any updates on those wheels. I am considering getting them for my gravel bike

I think my only reservations with Ryet is that they seem to be affiliated with Lexon, and I've had poor experiences with them.  But, I do have a few friends that have these same Ryet gravel wheels, and they have not had any issues with them.  They all got them early/mid this summer, so they probably have less than a 1000 miles on them.

Any updates on the wheels from friends?

These are amazing and my favorite bib purchase so far from ali. They fit true to size. 185cm and I am size M

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804601228289.htm

I have 2 pairs of those and they are absolutely amazing. I have size L for 187cm 85kg muscle body.

I am keen to try the new cargo ones you listed at no 3. How is the padding on them? Thicker gor offroad use?

It seems like there are 3 new Ryet saddles in total: T50 that is seen in the photos above, X6 and X7p. Not a fan of how X7p looks like, starts out nice and narrow, but then goes full triangle mode and gets real wide real fast. T50 looks nice and solid all around, although the pressure relief channel is bit narrow. X6 has similar shape to T50, but has wider relief channel and different looking mesh (not sure how it affects comfort). I kinda want to buy X6, but gotta see how comfortable is that different looking mesh. One interesting point across all three saddles is that they are advertising 1cm extra rail length.

T50: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005843482948.html
X6: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005871294163.html
X7p: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005871242590.html

I just received the X6 saddle and WOW. That's the best saddle I've ever used. It is super comfortable, it is almost flat and the length is great sitting in between short 24cm and long 28cm saddles. Just perfect for me.

I don't know what is the exact difference between the T50 but from what I assume the X6 has to be more comfortable with thicker padding. Because it weight 20g more and the only thing that is different is the 3d mesh. The base is the same.
Also when You look to the description it say road/mtb in the usage section, opposed to only road in the T50.

Based on this I think X6 is more comfortable. Tbh when I ordered I did not even notice that those 2 differ. I am using X6 for my road bike, but I think I will order one for my gravel bike asweel. I am a little tempted to try the T50, but on the other hand why choose other one if this one is so good. Especially that I have a collection of saddles I don't use in my closet and don't need more. And those aliexpress saddles are rather hard to sell, like ie the ryet premium superlight saddle which was just to hard for me.

Edit: after few longer rides I gotta change my opinion on the saddle. The padding on longer rides starts to hurt and rubs te contact points which causes pain :/

I'll report back on comfort once I've had a chance to do a ride.


How is the saddle doing mate?

24mm spindle is not a good idea. There is a reason shimano keeps it steel
