Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame

I'm wondering about how long brake hoses I need for my build. Anyone remember the length of their brake hoses? I'm thinking about size S or XS for reference.

For my Large build, I needed 1000/1700mm length as the standard length was too short. You might be able to get away with standard length for a X or XS.

Was this the c-ring you were sent afterwards that worked for you?

Also, I'm assuming the frame comes with a compression plug or do I need to get that separately?

Yep that's the correct c ring. It comes with a compression plug but like the above poster, I purchased a 80/90mm one for extra security.

Can someone send me a link to their official AliExpress store ? Seems like there are a number of stores using a similar name.

This forum is great! All this information is highly appreciated.

I was thinking about going with the normal non integrated stem+bar. Do you know which c ring to get?

Ask them to send you the C ring from the integrated handlebar, and including the stock one hopefully one of them will fit your stem+bar combo.

I purchased mine from the Surprised Store and I am happy with the overall quality. Points to note:

- Paint job is good/acceptable but not perfect. There is paint overspray especially on the brake caliper mounts and bottom bracket. You can probably get away with building as is but ideally should face it or sand it back

- Supplied headset has a massive gap to the frame which is resolved if you fit their integrated handlebar as it comes with lower stack c ring. Otherwise you need to find yourself correct C ring to reduce the gap or shim to lift it.

If you are concerned about the visual aesthetics, I think rim depth has more to do with it than tyre width. You normally view a bike from the side rather than the front which is where the tyre gap would be visible.

If you are that worried and only plan on using 28/32mm tyres then a gravel frame might not be the best choice and you may have to look for an endurance frame.

I was about to pull the trigger on the wavy set but a couple of people on the below forum have experienced structural issues with the rim including the wavy design which is enough to put me off this brand. YMMV.

PS it's a Spanish forum so use google translate - the last 3-4 pages is where the issues pop up.

Whatever happened to Spexcel ? All their stuff in Ali is from a couple of years ago.

I would ignore those RRP prices for the drop bar Cues. If it's anything to go by, the flat bar 1x11s Cues groupset sells for $150-$200 on Aliexpress - it's just missing the brake levers and calipers.

I have been using mine for about 3 months and absolutely love it. I picked it up for about US$112 during 11.11 and it's a steal.

I find a lot of the negative reviews relate to the navigation capability which is definitely not on par with a Garmin so if that is important then stay away from this.

That fixed it - many thanks  :)

Just keep in mind for next time that the steerer cut line is about 4-5mm below the top of the stem before the topcap is placed on. This is to allow for the expander plug (approx 2mm) + and additional 2-3mm for the actual compression.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Review: Cyclami Pump A2s
« on: November 26, 2024, 04:48:06 AM »
I recently purchased the A2S and so far it's been good. I have no issues pumping up a completely flat tyre but cannot use the pump to top up a partially filled tyre. The instructions say to start the pump and let it run for a few seconds and then press against the valve but it just cuts out - it seems like the air pressure escaping is too much against the pump and it just shuts down. Anyone have any suggestions ?

It's not you it's the crankset. I had the same issue with my 105 Di2 groupset, the inside crank arm was actually striking the derailleur (I would check your crank arms too). Managed to get a partial refund from magene, now it's just sitting on the shelf.

M5 x 10 mm flat head, worked for my frame

I originally switched to black screws and washers but I'm looking to swap them out for rubber plugs/grommets to reduce the chance of rust and also weight savings  :D ;D ;D. I've tried 4.5mm plugs but they are too small and will need to try out 5mm.

I think UDH is SRAM and direct mount (ie the one with the extension) is Shimano ?? Consensus is that Shimano will ultimately move to UDH so it becomes a truely universal standard.
