Thanks, I'm not fussed about finding them cheap, just finding them... the new ones are not in the usual places (AliEx) yet.

Juin have introduced some new 4 piston and 2 piston hydraulic calipers at the the Tapei bike show. Does anyone know where you can get Juin components from (as close to source as possible?)

Lexon Unox all good here. Supplied spacers are fine.

Some great discounts available on aliexpress right now, especially if you use all of the available vouchers and cashback.

Sooooo, is anybody else having problems charging your system? 

Everytime I have to charge my eGR, it is a hassle. Twice I've had it started only to come back later and find that it didn't charge. Not only that but trying to get a connection is maddening. It just doesn't want to.

So what have I tried:

  • I have two cables and both have the same challenges. I know to check the USB A side and make sure to have a green light before trying. (I do forget between times that when it is charging, that changes to red)
  • I make a point to clean the contact on the RD. (Please tell me why an exposed contact is facing up?) I also clean the cable end. I've used fingers, towel, a soft brush etc.
  • Repeated attempts to make contact. The magnet snaps but over and over no light. Or a brief light then nothing

Any tips? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a defect I should be trying to warranty?

I had this problem and it turned out that it needed a powerful wall unit (like you have for a smartphone) and it wouldn't charge properly off a weaker unit or a laptop usb port, for example.

* Shimano or sram cranks

Well beyond. Looking at something sub $100

That's all GXP / Dub... I've only seen Shimano or SRAM. Am I missing something?

Component Deals & Selection / 1x aero chainring and cranks - options
« on: March 14, 2025, 06:09:11 AM »
I'm looking for a cheap 1x aero chainring and cranks option. The passquest ones look good, but require shimano cranks and trying to find any (especially in 165mm) at a good price seems impossible.

Are there any aero chainrings that work with cheap aliexpress cranks? Not fussed about weight as it's for a dedicated crit bike.

 I remove those dots with a craft knife. Have done this on the few builds with 3rd party bars, they're not really necessary just help to line everything up.

Ascent aeroo are made specifically to be used in the full aero hoods position. Currently only sold as a handlebar, not integrated cockpit, but I've heard they have things coming in the handlebar/cockpit category this year, so if that's valid there might be a one piece barstem version coming at some point.

I'll watch closely for developments. Similar is the Aerocoach Ornix, but I've had a bad experience with aerocoach in the past (and it's also not 1 piece).

Tavelo ARVO cockpit. I have two of them myself.

The ARVO is just a generic aero handlebar, which I already have. I'm looking for something more extreme (and ideally AliX prices)

Component Deals & Selection / Crit handlebar

I'm considering building up a crit bike and looking for a 120x360 handlebar ideally in a quite extreme aero shape to allow for wrist support. Are there any options out there? Don't care about weight.
