they said to me production would be 15 days and shipping 20 days. the wheels arrived in just over a week. I guess they dont have live stock tracking so covering their backs? The anniversary sale will be busy for them
they told me the same.
But they shipped the wheels after 4 days. Hoping its all good.

Used the coupon + coins. Btw, im not in EU. Maybe that is why shipping is cheaper.

I have one on my road bike and one on my gravel bike with no issues. It's been on the road bike for a while, but the gravel bike is more recent. Both see some pretty rough roads. I'm about 94 kg without gear, so they seem pretty sturdy to me. I find it very comfortable so I just put one on my mountain bike as well but I haven't ridden that yet.


Out of curiosity, what type of seatpost clamp do you have? Does it clamp the rails along the full length, or just at one point in the front and one in the rear?

Indeed, they are very comfortable. I cannot find any big name brand saddle. Tried fizik, selle, fabric, etc nothing comes close.
Im using the elita seatpost. The full length clamping one.

It looks like a specialized saddle.
If the elita is really 100g for 50 dollars no wonder why it breaks easily ::)

Actually, it is. The padded ones are like 130g. But still very light.
Yes, it does look like a specialized but comparing the nose. The specialized looks to be wider than elita.

I have been riding that saddle for 2 years now. No issues and I think the quality is top notch.

Whats your weight?

I weigh around 77-79kg. Hit a pothole and cracked right away

I really like this saddle (155mm). But my heavy ass already broke 2 of this.

Not sure if its just bad batch or what. I want to get the real one. :)

I'd still go with Edge. If there were widespread issues  with the wheels, they'd be documented by now and any brand can have QC slip ups
I see. Are there any known issues?

Also guys how long have you been running your elite edge?

Rovals are 1375g and the Elite are 1344g. For slightly less weight you get a deeper 50mm rim with the Elite vs. the 33mm Rovals.
True. Rovals hub are also dt350. I cant decide right now which one should I get.

How's the wheelset and crank holding up?

Anyone have experience using this wheelset before?
Any feedbacks? Also which tyre is compatible with this?
I'm a bit skeptical about the hybrid hookless.

Hope this helps. Still undecided which one to get.

Oh another good stiff flared bar is the Rose one. I have the 36 top 40.5 drop version. It's very good and only 20EUR.

Fouriers from Taiwan make some interesting bars also, one particular one that is designed to have the hoods turned in, also quite flared.
