8x16 shaft and 8x25 body(mine doesnt fit, have to sand about 0,5mm. Because it was 24,6mm measured).

I got ZTTO gold 12sp chain, passed 0.5% stretch after about 300km of mtb use. Waste of money. Do not buy it.

You can use any cheap tension meter, if you can calibrate it. Most expensive tension meter that is not calibrated is worse than a cheapest calibrated tension meter.
You can make DIY stand to calibrate it on a particluar spoke. (some wood blocks and scale weight up to 150kg)

I use SIGEYI powermeter:

Bottom bracket area is not an issue, but bearings in your headset are. So grease them carefully. I stilll use a headsed provided by HongFu.

However, they all use two-piston calipers, while Hayek has experienced issues with four-piston calipers.

« on: January 01, 2025, 09:12:07 AM »we are quite the same size (170 cm), but anyone who knows of biomechanics can help me.
I currently use 170mm cranks, but I’d like to switch to 165mm since I prefer that length on my gravel bike. Unfortunately, I can’t find Shimano XT8100 cranks in 165mm anywhere—they’re all out of stock. I specifically need them because my power meter is designed for Shimano’s direct-mount standard.
For my handlebars, I use a 760mm-wide setup paired with a 60mm stem. The handlebars have a significant backsweep, creating a roughly 20mm gap between an imaginary line connecting the bar ends and the stem bolt.

Also had my first ride today. Winter ride -5C, for 2 hours. Works flawlessly and the hoods are very comfortable for my small hands. I liked it. No complains. Fine tuning between gears was not needed. I've just switched it to 12sp (new ZTTO SLR3 11-46 12sp cassete) and setup initial gear with micro adjust.
Have to wait to see how it will last...

« on: November 22, 2024, 09:10:15 AM »LI have a 10t and it always horrifies me when I turn it on the stand and FEEL what seems like grinding in the drivetrain.
It's ok for MTB: when you need that exrta speed on a descent for a small amount of time. But for the road, i think its not worth it...

« on: November 20, 2024, 10:32:12 PM »These are the reasons I went Wheeltop, I intend to upgrade one wheelset to 12sp and leave the other as 11sp.There are aftermarket cassete options for 12sp that will work on your 11sp HG freehub. You dont have to buy new wheels for that.

You want them to be known, so Specialized could force close them?
