Hey could you by any chance measure the dimensions of the spacers that comes with the thin line handlebar?
Seems to be the same as the vero, which I'm considering. But the spacers dimensions aren't listed anywhere.

I don't have one here right now. Contact the seller with an Aliexpress message, they are very responsive

...the Vero bars ...

I didn't know them, and they look lighter !
Thanks for the information.

So what happened when you pulled it apart? Any major problems? How many miles/hours was it ridden since it was last serviced?

Sorry, I forgot about it. They were never serviced so far.
They have thousands of km

What are some recommendations for some high quality Chinese integrated bars?

These are the ones I install in general, because so far they are the stiffest and lightest I could find.

Road: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005939677279.html (LEXON, they build frames too but never tried)
Gravel: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004788375665.html (LEXON)
MTB: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005611032673.html (FIRE SPIDER the premium brand of Tooseek)

You can see both shops as well, they have other items.

Thanks, I saw this, but it doesn't look like it has completely hidden cable routing, right?
Cables are completely hidden

Hi, I'm looking for an integrated handlebar, full idden cable, size 420x130.
The frame where I would mount has 1"1/2 headset.
Any suggestions?

I installed a few of these: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005939677279.html
Road and gravel (flared)

I ride a 46T on my Carbonda 505, a gravel that becomes a road bike by just changing the tires

Did you consider the UDH standard (Universal Derailleur Hanger) ?
From my understanding of the drawing it doesn't look like to be.
And it is a good option to find easy replacement or eventually going with the new SRAM derailleurs.

Thank you for the heads up.

My AirBank mini pum has been solid. It’s pretty much replaced my air compressor at this point. It’s seated mtb and gravel bike tire too.

The airflow is sufficient to seat tubeless tires ?
Well nowadays tires improved dimensions and can be seated with a foot-pump, but interesting to know.

This is probably not going to be a popular opinion on this forum, but I would buy a used Quarq

As a counterpoint, my first road Quarq suddenly started gifting me about 500W average power on my rides... unfortunately, just two months after the two-year warranty expired.

SRAM support was very kind and offered me a replacement. I only had to pay for the GPX to DUB conversion (my choice).
Meanwhile, both my XCADEY on the MTB and the Quarq on my gravel bike have been running strong for years, despite frequent mud plastering.

The takeaway: all devices are probably reliable, but bad luck can strike sometimes. A confirmed reliable user support is key.

...Its a pretty good do-it-all bike when paired with wide, fast rolling tires...

I'm intrigued by your rack, where did you find it ?

This is is the same that was discussed a few days ago. That weight is frightening.

They even give you a warning -

There might be some differences with the smaller cogs of these cassettes, but on my gravel bike, I haven't seen the end of the 46T Garbaruk chainring or the 52T cog of the Eagle cassette yet, both of which are aluminum, even after years of hard riding. I also rotate between three waxed Eagle chains, which likely helps.

I tried some Cooma pink pads...

Me too and for a year or two. Not sure if they changed something, but they are not as good as they were.
I ride the orange(ceramic) ones from this shop now https://kingstop.aliexpress.com/store/233959

They have a great grip and are silent compared to the Cooma pink that were already kind of silent.
Not sure, I have the impression they wear a little faster, but give a better brake feel. I moved all my bikes to them.

...I just did some measuring:

Is this your bike?
What kind of rack is that on it?

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Chinese Raining Jacket
« on: October 01, 2024, 04:17:56 AM »
Last year it was raining so much in Belgium I decided to invest in rain jackets.
And scouted the shops to find some bargained jackets and found one light Pearl Izumi, and two Vega Extreme and Absolute from Santini all flashy and based on the Neoshell fabric.
At around 100€ each, it was expensive in total, but it gave me the joy back of riding in extreme weather.
Together with AGU Foul Weather shoe cover I was able to make something out of that shitty season.
