After The Ride / Re: Is an Chinertown build really worth it?
« on: February 07, 2025, 04:00:31 AM »
In 2023 I got my hands on SuperSix evo 2021 frame almost for free. Using local marketplace bought myself 11s 105 discbrake group, some shimano wheels and cannondale cranks. Stem, handlebar,chain,BB,casette,pedals,bartape and few other things straight from Aliexpress. It did work well and all with few ,,this,, and ,,thats,, and I was fine with this ,,cuz that price,,.
By the end of last year it came to say good bye to SuperSix and build something. Then it just became so clear that ,,What if put full chinertown style bike just for this What if part,,.
Some serch, plenty e-mails, few discounts and cupons later: Full carbon gravel that uses everything from china yet I couldnt decide for chiner groupset that was more expensive and less reliable than Shimano Di2 105.
Do I have a full support from them if anything happen? No clue but I'm fine with this. I knew I'm doing it for my ,,What if,,
Serch process was fun, building everything also. I'm glad I did it and breaking price everything was under 1900 euro which is more than 50% of known brand same spec or even lowe spec.
If you are ready that something may not go as good as you plan, just do it. I was ready for at least 50% things go bad or be just unusable yet almost all of those parts did me right from the beginning.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but it's a sub-200g HG road cassette with only a single alloy cog, the rest are steel.

I've got myself ztto SLR gen.2 just for a blue accent but recived gen.3 for same price
12s 11-34t hg 148g
perfect shifting on almost every gear beside largest steel which is bit wobbly

I think these are intended to be road wheels and not much else. I mean sure you could obviously still ride them on gravel but I‘d suggest there’s options better suited to that.
Serenade offer a 25internal/30external/30deep gravel wheelset that’s like 1180g for around the same money or even less if you want something seriously light. Others out there have similar options, I believe.

Yeah but ngl those are visually pleasing

Size 54 im my case  ;)

RiRo 24mm axle

Would you recon if they could work on some terrain or they are road only? This 100kg limit tells me don't but.....

Any folks running this frame with a 2x setup? And if so, what chainring size?

Dylan Johnson uses a Shimano 2x for his Felt gravel bike with MTB tires. Quarq/DUB spider power meter. I can't tell if the chain rings are Shimano road or GRX.

On my current Yoeleo G21 gravel build I'm running a Shimano road 2x 50/34 chainrings with shims. 42c tire clears the front derailleur.

I've done 105/Ultegra Di2 2x12s 50/34 front 11-34 rear
Should be fine with powermeter but I picked RiRo carbon cranks without one to make it sub 8kg
