I'm off the 3d printed saddle game. Seems like my style of riding does not work with them and rubbing all my bibs or even baggys on top.

Metal Frames / Re: Chinese Titanium Frames...
« on: February 21, 2025, 02:43:11 AM »Does anyone know how much a Hi-light G0 3d printed bike costs? Just want to get an understanding of the prices of 3d titanium nowadaysYou would be lucky if they even talk to you without being an OEM. Hi-light was yet only in b2b.

« on: January 22, 2025, 01:59:52 PM »On my latest build, I realized my foam brake cable housing is slightly too long causing slight rubbing/creaking in the head tube area when turning the steerer to the right. I'm too lazy to redo the whole thing though.Cutting no foam is not really a big job

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Coefficient AR Handlebars: Ali Express Version?
« on: January 02, 2025, 01:22:40 PM »This is the opposite of the Coefficient bars. It has significant upsweep (35mm rise). The Coefficient bars are downswept.In my opinion the idea is: sit comfy while cruising and get a low center of gravity while descending or lower position on the sprint. Concept isn’t really new, specialized had this years back on the venge vias.
Interesting though, as I'd been looking for riser 340 or 360s for a while. Weirdly they keep 130mm drop though ... why would someone wanting rise want a lot of drop on the drops ...

Anyway, it's quite interesting that it's possible to get hi-light frames now at direct to customer. Even a friend working as product manager struggeled to get one and later dropped the conversation with them

I've also bought 2 jackets from Spexcel
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004917654097.html
SPEXCEL 22 insulated Jacket Explore 3 Season Windproof And Thermal Fleece Inside Cycling Jacket 2 layer With Chest Pocket
This one is pretty good to be honest. The thermal fleece is just at the front, which is sufficient. Sizing is pretty good so, typically asian sizes, I went 1 size up to my European one. Kept me dry on some spray rain for 15-20 minutes.
Biggest disadvantage: the back pockets are why to high, made them practically unreachable. I can barely grab into the one across the back, the middle one - no chance.

SPEXCEL SPC LAB New PRO Winter Thermal Fleece Cycling Jerseys Long sleeve Race Fit Nylon thermal fabric Warm and breathable man
Got this one yesterday for a first ride out. I used it as a 2nd layer with some gore infinimum above. I was wet from sweat all over.
Sizing is the same as above, one size up was good. Same here, the cut is more straight, not with a long back. But, pockets got to stuff and reach.

Battery indicator does not work at all.
Even within the apartment it drops from 3 to blink 1 within 1 tyre at 50 psi.

« on: November 23, 2024, 05:10:24 AM »The airflow is sufficient to seat tubeless tires ?If it was seated before, maybe.
Well nowadays tires improved dimensions and can be seated with a foot-pump, but interesting to know.
Initial seating, no chance. The "big" xiaomi does not work, as its just small bursts with now volume
My A2s is on delivery for Monday, your review does not sound too good.
Update: Arrived today.
Well battery indicator is random. After 1 tyre it's indicating empty. I can't imagine it works up to 100psi. It was struggeling with 60psi already.
After plugging it to the charger it says full after 5 minutes.

« on: November 17, 2024, 01:03:34 AM »I've only had one brand of bottle cages ever that both dropped bottles and eventually cracked. And it was VeloBuild.+1 here
From that point onward I use Tacx Ciro bottle cages exclusively.
the original ones from my 168 broke within the first season on the bottom side. Probably from sticking the bottles.

Also supports the atmosphere of the pain cave.
As I’m doing structured WO only indoors it works best for me. Dozens of free workouts available at trainerday and I’m good to go.
