Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Re: Aliexpress dispute Process

Guess I'll try and push on, and show actual picture of both. Let's see. What I find most annoying is the shop trying to hide it by scratching the sticker off... Why not just cancel it instead of shipping the wrong one.


Not the first time I'm getting rejected, last time was a obvious fake kmc chain. I even had a real one to compare, still they rejected it

Vendor Discussion & Reviews / Aliexpress dispute Process
« on: March 31, 2025, 07:10:58 AM »
I've recently bought a Lexon Vero handlebar in 110-38, because the other one I had in 120 was too long. However once it turned up, they sent me a 38-100, and tried to hide it by scratching the measurement text off (See pictures).
I know the measurements are correct, because I can compare with my current 120 and it indeed measures 2 cm less.

Store was: Jawbone store

I tried to dispute it with Ali, and sent them the two picture, how ever they declined and state evidence is not valid, and I need to measure it better?
Should I try to disagree and push on, or is it actually worth returning the handlebar?

Any input appriciated.

Do you by any chance have an early 12 speed Shimano cassette on the edge wheelset? They had some issues https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=173692

35mm would just be slightly lighter. Usually 40-55mm deep wheels have such a small weight penalty over ~30mm that its a no brainer to get the deeper wheels. Crosswind stability for wheels below 55mm deep is not much of a concern. Id don't think 9velo is a good value. I avoid many of these premium Chinese brands that are trying to compete with western brands. Price is double that of an OEM, and the product and support/warranty is the same, sometimes worse.

Calling it the same product is probably quite a stretch.
If you are buying from 9velo you are paying "premium" for the Hub. They use hubs from H-works which are really high quality. I haven't seen an OEM for a good price using true h-works hub yet?
For reference I've been using 9velo's mt30 MTB wheel for over a year, and they are perfect, best hub's I've ever used by far. Much better than  DT swiss.
Also there are 10% off 9velo with youtubers discount codes. ex. 9velo-hambini10
So 872 usd including shipping for the 9velo isn't that bad

And for OP, I don't know how old your FFWD rims are, but modern rims has a more U shaped profile, where older ones has a V shape. The U shape is a lot better handling in cross-winds.

Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Re: Lexon compression ring?
« on: March 11, 2025, 02:42:14 AM »
I have the lexon vero bar that also came with these.
The C ring is for the smaller headset cap for external cable routing, and the round plastic ring is the full integrated cables.
The plastic ring is the compression ring, just for internal.
You will see there is a little hole in the plastic ring, that will fit with the knob/pin on the integrated headset cap.

Anyone knows the bearing dimensions for this frame?

Don't want to take mine out to measure, and want a spare set lying around.

99% sure that Pro is just a R088 with different paint and 150% markup

Does looks like it. In size M ONE is identical to R088 size 52. Only difference I see is cable holes, Fork and seatpost is different.

I have the chaser flat mount adapters

They're really good, and a pretty decent weight saving. There seems to be a new version than mine floating around? Different design, but same weight. https://imgur.com/a/jGEeV0h

I'm a member of a FB group called "Chinese Bikes" a guy called Chao Ma, who shares some of their upcoming products like this insane lightweight center lock disc rotor https://imgur.com/a/IPwWbFf

After trying the Onirii lightweight rotors, I would really not try these.

He links to a site here https://spartsti.com/products/chaser-disc-rotor
There they sell many chaser parts that aren't on ali. I don't know if I want to beta test their products though  ;D

Hi, Do you have 360 mm width in the hoods or is it the 340 mm version?
Did you weigh the computer mount? Thanks!

I have the 360 width at hoods version. I had the same front screw issue, because one of the screw supplied, is "just" long enough for it to fit. Actually the computer mount was only 30 grams.

I swapped it for an OG-evkin carbon computer mount which fits perfectly. Also the og-evkin is only 19 grams.

I'm pleased with the look/stiffness/weight of my Lexon Vero.   Haven't fitted yet but my 360/110 came out at around 310g.  Narrower at hoods.  If I angle inwards I reckon my hand position will be inside 30cm.  Net cost with discounts when I purchased was 85 GBP.

+1 for the lexon vero. I have it in 36/120 super stiff in the hoods. Mine was around 320 grams.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but it's a sub-200g HG road cassette with only a single alloy cog, the rest are steel.

I just received one of these. 11-30 was 162 grams. Almost 200 gram lighter than the 105 11-34 I got on  ;D
Haven't tried it yet, so don't know about shifting. Looks well built

might be just me but the currently available paint schemes for the new c5 aero is god-awful. need more paint schemes winspace.

Totally agree with the two, but that Cat themed paintjob is sick tho.

I have the 24m version with xcadey spider power meter, and there is no problems with alignment or anything.

Anyone knows where the reach adjuster is on these  HRD shifters? I've tried turning the front bolt like on the none hrd version, but that doesn't do anything?
