Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Looking for a Carbon Road Frame — Higher Stack, Colorful Paint, Race Geo
« on: April 28, 2025, 06:59:26 AM »
Some colorful + horizontal top tube frames I'd like to know people's opinion about...:

- ELVES => Vanyar Pro Disc.
- OG-EVKIN => LOONG or QONQI or CF-025(vb has similar frame).
- HYGGE => Model S.

I have been looking at the winnow tt119 frame, when i put it in my cart on ali exp it estimates an addition 2000USD in fees on the 1200USD frame, really puts a damper on me wanting to build a budget TT bike that has the specs that I want.

Wow!

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Trade wars and Frame Delivery

Is anyone's frame delivery affected by the trade wars?
Is it safe to pull the trigger on a frame now or just wait it out?

Elves is making bikes for the TikTok generation lol
When these kids come of age they are gonna ride colorful Elves bikes with abnormal designs with no nostalgic feel to the frame designs etc.

There is a market for what Elves is trying to do. That's what really matters these days. Know, make and sell to your target market.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Elves Falath EXP
« on: February 07, 2025, 09:23:03 AM »

New Elves frame alert!

"Elves Falath EXP 2025"
 
Elves Bike Malaysia is calling for bookings on their social media.
It is not on the websites yet. I wonder if they'll sell this globally with these ongoing trade wars.

What I need for now is best puncture resistance, durability and best value for money @ 28mm max width for my bike frame.

I got 2 Maxis re-fuse (for the price of one gp5000). Done 3 rides in them so far and really like the grip especially in wet conditions. So far so good for what I'm looking for.

They are the slowest apparently  8)

Ya, looks like they are the slowest.
Just wondering if anyone here can confirm they have used them and confirm that they are really 5 star puncture resistant. I am more concern on this aspect for the kind of riding I need them for.

How about the Maxxis Re-fuse? Does anyone have experience with these?

I'm looking to try the "Puncture proof" Continental Gatorskin tyres. Do they really reduce frequent flats? Any real world user experience will be appreciated.

Also what do you guys do to reduce flats? Do share your hacks or best puncture proof tyres for carbon wheelsets you have tried.
Looking for reliability over performance here.
P/s; I prefer using inner tubes even on tubeless ready wheelsets.

I ride 700c/28mm tyres.

Thanks.

This could work:

I use a wide transparent sticker though, to cover the whole area and then the whole chainstay too.

Far from it, I promise!  :D

Pure coincidence to be honest, I own a T1500 and wanted to check the geometry chart to compare my frame to another one I am interested.

Found out that they do not link to that frameset anymore but the URL can still be found with a quick search.

Then I saved a copy of the T1500 page for future reference and... ended up taking a snapshot of the entire website   ::)

Hours later on another visit I realized that they removed the page with the new frames and decided to share it here  ;)


Ok, cool then :)
Thanks again for the detailed sharing :)

@stb sounds like a sales rep from Winspace lol
Thanks for sharing though.
Anyways, frame looks great! Saw the DC performance video few months back.
This is sure going into my wish list.
Looking forward to user feedback.

« on: December 28, 2023, 05:58:07 PM »

When this website went down few hours back I was like "what am I going to do with my life now" LOL
Didn't realize I get some dopamine shots from visiting this site, until it was down for few hours :D
What happened that lead to the website's down time?

Just want to appreciate the owners /admins for making this site possible!
