Meant to reply to this ages ago, and seeing Patrick's YouTube today reminded me...
Peter kindly agreed to make the following for a monster gravel bike, and the results are absolutely brilliant...
D40CU-33 T1100 rims UD paintless 28/28H
Carbon Speed in-house ratchet boost hubs with steel bearings 6 bolts straight pull for 110*15/148*12 with Shimano HG driver
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Sapim self-securing brass nipples
Had a month or so on them now and they've been great!
Thanks again Peter, outstanding wheels!

At some point you're either going to have to buy one and try it or give up, because all the answers people give you will only go so far I'm afraid.
Your other option is to buy a branded fork from your lbs.

That's good news :-)
Can't describe how it rides really, would just say give it a go, you'll always be wondering otherwise lol. I enjoy it, but grew up riding rigid.
My other bike is a full sus monster truck, so it provides a bit of yin Yan balance to life.

Think I got the 06, but essentially the same.
Brakes were fine and plug fitted straight in for me :-)

I have an SP cycles fork on my 29er, never abused it to speak of, it's still going strong.
Quality seems good, no complaints.

« on: October 31, 2024, 12:35:01 PM »What it be douchey of me to start a GoFundMe to raise funds? Everyone donates $15 haha
My monthly YouTube revenue and OnlyFan accounts aren't as lucrative as it seems...
With 3500 curious hits on this thread I don't think it's actually a bad shout, I'd be in for fifteen:-)
You could raffle the frame off after full testing and donate to charity.... Everyone wins!

C'mon Mr.Lino, just hurry up and order one so you can tell us how it compares to a real SL8...
I bet it's just gnawing away at you. Pretty soon you won't be able to think about anything else

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Do any of the Chinese aero/semi aero frames have wind tunnel tests?
« on: September 26, 2024, 07:38:07 AM »
Sorry guys, results came from weight weenies discussion on tour magazine results.
https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=154692
It's more a question of curiosity and a slight hankering to build a light aero ish bike to see if it makes a difference... Although I don't think a 10watt difference is going to change my cycling career now lol.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Do any of the Chinese aero/semi aero frames have wind tunnel tests?
« on: September 26, 2024, 02:07:42 AM »
Got caught up reading about aero and found some data on the amount of watts it takes to push various bikes at along at 45kmh. Wondered if anyone has seen tests on any Chinese aero frames?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Are the hubs genuine in wheels from companies like BTLOS, Light Bicycle etc?
« on: September 11, 2024, 01:29:00 PM »
Hi guys
All thinking of a new set of wheels and was wondering if the hubs are genuine in the more week known companies wheelsets, as I'm sure I've seen a couple of threads on forums where they haven't been.
Many thanks
