I am not sure elite is own by yuanan. Their supplier sure but is there more than commercial agreement?

Elite wheels is 100% owned by yuanan.

Did anybody buy a new preload screw from Magene? I asked them via email and they charge 5 USD for it which is reasonable. But they ask for more than 20 USD for shipping to germany which i think is a little steep and doesn’t even include the import fees.

Is there any way to get it cheaper?

Maybe try geoid official store. I've bought the cranset from them and when I had a problem with preload screw I wrote to them and they've send me a new for free, just had to buy some fake auction do 4$ so AliExpress shipping was covered.

I tried to use the Magene powermeter with 50/34 pass quest chainrings but unfortunately it won't shift onto the big chainring. I tried different adjustments for days but can't get it to work. With the original Chainrings from Shimano it will shift without any problems.

Has anyone a different working recommendation for a 12 speed Shimano ultrgra di2 which is working with the Magene Powermeter?
I would really appreciate it.

I have 11s dura Ace and changed chainrings to stone 50/34 and it works even better then 52/36 dura Ace.

I am using the version for 12s https://a.aliexpress.com/_EG6wEOU

XC5 here. I use them on my gravel, MTB and road bikes.

If I had to buy new shoes now I would go for the Shimano SH-RX801. But I understand prices of Shimano shoes differ greatly worldwide. 150€ in EU.

RX-8 are great shoes and I can recommend them.
I also love my fizik X3 overcurve because they come in white and I'm a white shoe guy :)

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I’m curious—what did you end up choosing? I’m looking for something similar, but without the flare or cable integration. Thanks!

For those with small legs / do a lot of climbing, China is now selling 48/32 rings, down from the retail classic 50/34. I can think of a lot of girls who never pedal at high speeds because they get scared and dont care about going fast, who could get more pleasant days in the saddle with smaller chain rings like that. Or chill dudes who also dont care about speed.
Or for bike packing / touring.

32 front, 34 or 36 rear, on a road bike, you can climb up a tree!
I assume FDs can be adjusted to fit these rings, but that's an assumption. afaik, it is 100% NOT a classic form factor.

c.25 eur shipped for this type of double chainring (50/34, 52/36, 53/39) is what i've been paying, for reference.

Now Shimano may sell this, but if they do, i've never seen it.

I have used 48/32 chainrings for few years on my all road bike with 2 sets of wheels for gravel and road. Never held me back and really appreciated the fact that it let me stay in the middle of the cassette most of the time. There is nothing wrong with running smaller chainrings. Few years later and I still appreciate smaller chainrings even though I'm way stronger now. Last season changed my 52/36 to 50/34 and feel better. can attack any climb and still ride tighter cassette. Also never had problem on the top end. But I'm also high cadence guy 95+

+1 for pressfit BB86!
I think T47 is not ideal due to the very narrow tool interface and the potential to damage paint/BB area when fitting.
I would also like to see a steeper seat tube angle in larger sizes (74-75 degrees) and a zero offset seatpost option.

Yeah t47 is overrated. Even guys from parktool said that it's not their favorite bb type. For me pressfit or BSA.

As fro the tires. I think 32c in more then enough, and we all know that if official limit is 32c it can often for 34/35c. There is no need for wide tires on aero bike, also no need for 420mm chainstay. It's not a gravel bike

Arent these the same? They come as zrace to. Had them all and they seem rebranded.

They look same but for some reason MANA are lighter. I personally have them and they are best rotors I've used to date.

You can run eTap road 2x with 40c (41.5mm measured at the rim). For sure on dry roads. Can probably fit 42-44 on Shimano 2x. I really don't need anything wider than 38/40s within a 4 hour drive. The gravel around here is packed and tamed.

This is my temporary setup for now...

You only think You don't need wider. Once you try something like 45 you'll never got back to 40. I guarantee

I can personally recommend TuFO thundero

I use this Enlee rotor, which I believe is the same. On sale it can be US$13 or so. It's great - installs fine, solid, no more noisy than any other disc rotor, packed well (the second pair I ordered came in boxes). The only downside is that it's heavier than advertised, the 160mm rotor is about 140g, excluding the lock ring.

Oh, and the lock ring is the externally splined one. Great if your bike uses 15mm or bigger thru axles, but for 12mm thru axles I much prefer the lock rings with internal splines.

 MANA version is lighter and honestly those are best rotors I've used up to date l. Way better then dura ace/xtr

Damn Biniam Girmay must be on juice, because how is he winning with bars fully wrapped? Call the UCI!



 Looks equaly bad as the op

I was really curious about this bar with built-in computer/light mount so I ordered it in size 34cm width hoods. Took about a week to deliver and I installed it last night. I forgot to weigh it, but it didn't feel that heavy compared to a standard carbon bar. Probably weighs less than 250g. It has ample space for cable routing and feels stiff. The computer/light mount uses standard mounting hardware and easy to find spares. They can be used for either full or semi-integrated cable routing giving you options. I'm starting to gravitate towards narrower hoods and I think majority of them on AliEx are non-integrated. It works fine for me since my road bikes run -17° degree stems.

A few pictures added.  :)

Those bars are pretty nice but this bartape looks awful, ruins ale the benefits and looks
