I have, their conclusion was the same I found as well. Why pay more to wear out faster when gains are marginal for a non racer ?that's why I said its a race chain. pretty large difference for racers.
The maximum depth can reach 60mmhow much do the lightest 60mm wheels you have weigh in a 28mm external width?
Faster wearing out, couldn't agree more.the data from ZFC is out there you can check it out. defo a race chain but the wear rate is not that bad
Genuine SRAM chain is cheaper. Amazon.ca has rival at $45 and Force $70 CDN dollars. You are right though as a different option is always nice to see. They will probably get cheaper over time.the YBN is a lot faster tho
The AWST frame is exactly what I've been looking for. I've skimmed through this thread and seen a few complete builds with weights under 10kg. Are there any posts that break out the weight of each part(s), like wheels - x brand/ model at x grams? I've put together a list of parts and calculated out to 10.5kg with mostly lightweight parts (carbon cranks, wheels, bar, etc...), so I'm trying to see how y'all have dropped that extra kilo. Thanks for the help!mine was sub 9kg but its a shit frame, I ride a flight attendant supercaliber now and its a better bike tbh
Dude, relax. Yes, it is helpful to know the weight of the gold standard crankset when considering buying a premium avant garde piece of kit.Just giving him a hard time
I wouldn't worry. 100kg isn't THAT heavy, and i suspect you're not a track sprinter. Don't buy ultra lightweight components, like these cockpits that are pool noodles because they weigh nothing. Ditto, dont get feather weight aluminium cassettes. You'll probably wear out chairings fast if you get chinese ones, but they're cheap.
These carbon cranksets have been around for many, many years, i've had a sram red carbon crankset on my rim brake bike for a million years. As long as there's no manufacturing defect or dumb design (raceworks had a dumb design), you should be fine.
I was just confirming the weight of Ultegra cranksets as surely the point of a Carbon crank is it is lighter?wow thanks for the information its exactly what we wanted. none of us knew that the aluminum crank with a steel spindle is heavier than the ultralight carbon crank and we couldn't look it up. Thanks for the info!
Finally some new skinsuit options - this time from Darevie:just buy limkoo

Not sure how I feel about the green of the premium option but nice to see some new alternatives out there.
Thanks for your feedback! Glad to read it is holding up to abuse, especially on the MTB. Those pictures of cracked saddles on AliExpress were not so encouraging.Odinzeus
Which of the clones did you get, Ryet or OdinZeus? Not that it matters I guess, since they are both the same... just thinking about the warranty, just in case
Cheers!
@aeroskiii, did you buy any of those?I have it on my road bike, dropper post for the MTB, and rigid darimo post for the MTB.
I am looking for a weight weenie (narrow) full carbon saddle. Three candidates below.
It looks like the last two are replicas of the Gelu K1, while the first one is slightly longer:
TLO 65 saddle (120 x 260 mm, 75.7g, 76 EUR):

Ryet K1 (122 x 242 mm, 58g, 87 EUR):
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007436570770.html
OdinZeus K1 (122 x 242 mm, 57.5g, 109 EUR):
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006376314421.html
Anyone have tried any of these?
Curious about the weight difference of the first one, while the Ryet and OdinZeus looks to be exactly the same thing except for an additional mark up on the latter.
Reviews of the Ryet are not that encouraging, as there are several cases with cracks after the first rides (see pictures). On the other hand, Ryet offers a 1 year warranty replacement which I do not know if any of you have ever used. No idea about the warranty of OdinZeus, as I have never bought from them either.
Cheers!
@aeroskiii, did you buy any of those?Yup I use the gelu k1 clone. It has been perfect on my flight attendant Supercaliber which I race pretty technical UCI courses on. Great comfort and the durability has been better than the bontrager XXX saddle and much more comfy than the aelous RSL saddle. 5/5 reccomend

Did anyone order those ultra light 150 grams or less handlebars? I had bad experience with RXL SL because they flexed so much and they aren't even that light. These Kocevlo being so light would be even worse?I have used these for like a year or two and they are good. drops are flexy but otherwise good. mine in 38cm were 135g. I'm 68kg with a sprint around 1200w~

Just looking for a simple handlebar with flat top.
1st proper ride with the VB-TT-023 todayIs the ospw fake?
Bike is truly stiff, broke alot of PR’s today on a route that i havent been on for several months. Considering that this is my first time on a TT bike, i am truly happy with the frame and my build, no issues on a 63 mile ride with 1k feet of elevation, i completed the ride in 3:06.22 averaging 20.1mph on 204watts.
