29er / Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy Thread!
« on: July 11, 2021, 03:33:56 PM »I ordered in June they said mid july shipping, I am afraid it is not going to happen. I will write them after 15th.
Can we recap here everybody order date and promised shipping date?
Based on my past experiences with them, Haideli is a serious company.
Just realize it is not a usual LBS, you are your own importer, and delays may happen.
Especially with the cycling market still under tension.
Add to this the cultural difference that Chinese people will prefer to avoid direct confrontation in case of trouble, making it more opaque for us than it could be.
Just relax, and wait a little more, you'll get the frames.

« on: July 11, 2021, 08:41:17 AM »There is a shop near me that does carbon repair and can do x-ray service on frames (spyder composites). I am thinking about reaching out to them for a quote on an X-ray and, depending on price, getting the scan done on the frame when I receive it and sharing the results here to give us all a better idea of the integrity of the frame before we all send it on the trails. Let me guys know what you think, and whether or not it would be completely unnecessary or useless and something I should just not do.
This may be only about your own frame,
If it is good, it doesn't mean all are good.
And if it has a defect, it doesn't mean all have it either.
I would save this money on some shiny components

When nothing else is available, a flat screw driver or a 8mm Hex key and a hammer can do the job too.
Just hit gently over the whole circumference of the bearing.
If the bearings is too far, it may disassemble(with a press too), leaving the outer race only in the frame.
Although more challenging a hammer with a flat screw driver can get it out.

What is this intriguing bottle ?
Isn't it too hard to pump up water from that low ?

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Lightweight spoke recommendations for XC race wheelset, 70kg rider
« on: June 29, 2021, 04:04:57 AM »
The SAPIM CX-Ray are lighter, but more expensive.
The DT-240s or Carbon Ti too, but... too
SAPIM nipples are well anodized, if you oil the spokes when mounting the wheel, they can still be tuned if needed years after.
Well... I don't live by the sea. Salt is not a friend of the steel/alloy interface, so maybe brass is the only option for you.
To give you an idea.
I'm about the same weight, and took the XC925 rims, with dt-240s and SAPIM CX-Ray, Polyax Alloy for a 1216g wheelset.
And ride with 2.35 tires.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Dengfu R12 - has anyone experienced speed wobbles with other open molds?
« on: June 29, 2021, 03:29:16 AM »
It is probably a resonance problem with the front wheel at a certain frequency.
Not necessarily linked to the fork.
Did you try with another wheel ?
Or try to change something, like another valve if tubeless, another tube, or another tire, as it may be deformed, etc.
Change the torque you tighten the front wheel.

This is not really a problem of this particular shop.
Shipping issues happen. Mistakes too.
Some of my orders took months to arrive.
Even sometimes after winning a dispute and being reimbursed.
In general, sellers fix/compensate any mistake or lost package get reimbursed by Ali.
It just can take ages, with cumbersome communications with both Ali and the seller.

« on: June 25, 2021, 04:58:38 AM »Roadie all the way. Front mech is needed for me.
The MTB world evolved, and the front mech will disappear.
You'll have less and less options along the years to maintain your bike.
Did you try an Eagle groupset already ? It has 520% range now.
If you ride on very technical terrains, having the correct cadence is not that an issue and you have the range.
If not, why not consider a gravel instead?
You can put up to 50mm tires and ride as well in most tracks as you would do with a hard tail.

I pay extraordinary amounts for some bike parts, but not headsets 
My first one was a Canecreek 40.
It is indeed much better manufactured.
But the bottom bearings didn't last long.
I then discovered the cheap ones from Ali, and never came back to expensive ones for any build.
The top Canecreek bearings is still laying in a drawer as it was still smooth.
I'm interested to know how the 110 will fare.
