Hi, am in need for some new rotors. currently still on the stock shimano SM-RT70. can you please recommend which to take, these or the "old" IIIPro ones mentioned a few post up. I ride mostly hills, so theres a bunch of long descends.

thanks

New IIIPro rotors are good. All my riding is also hills and fast descents. They replaced my Onrii rotors which were about 10g lighter, but they didn't bite as well on the downhill.

Any reasonably priced 107 BCD 4 arm SRAM AXS 2x chainrings? The prices have skyrocketed to the point that I can find new SRAM take-offs on FB Marketplace for similar prices.

I bought a set of IIIpro rotors because they were the closest I could find to the Campy rotors. I'm happy with them. I wish they made the same design in a 180.

Prices havent changed much at all on the Stone rings I bought a year ago. What are you seeing?

New wheels from Elite, Gravel Aero+ 32mm innerwidth, 45mm high and 1390g. Was online for some hours (560€) and then not available anymore.

They are back!

With current discount codes (DESS70 70USD off 459USD) I can have them delivered to Germany for ~527USD ~453€ incl. shipping & tax. Given the stats (1393g, 50T Ratchet, 32mm inner width) it looks like a good deal to me if you are in the market for some super wide wheels.

CSC also offer gravel wheels now with 32mm inner width:

We all need to post location. USA prices and availability have changed dramatically. Likely not elsewhere. But comments about prices without location are sort of meaningless at the moment.

I own the 40x30 version and the effective inner rim width is 24.

I suppose the 32inner is really too wide for gravel because I currently run 24inner with 50tyre and my bike is claimed to accept maximum 50mm tyre and I'm close to touch the frame.

But are there really benefits to such wide wheels? Minimal Tire size would be 40mm they say . A 45 Tire would come close to 50mm I expect.

This trend is super stupid imo. Of course started by Zipp lol ... I really don't see any real world benefits for that, but see few negatives like constant rock strikes that would shred the rims and bigger chance of a sidewall cut.

Magene P515 Power Meter with their new carbon TEO Crank just released. 425g incl. PM is very competitive. Comes with a 29mm spindle and says it's compatible with T47 and BB386 up to 92mm width.

With the current sale, best code I could use was the 80 USD off, I can have them delivered to Germany for ~545 USD excl. Taxes. They do mention in their offering that they also have a tax included option but I don't know how much extra that would be.

I'm looking at getting a spider-based PM > 8 bolt interface with 4 bolt 110BCD chainring

what's the best option out there?

I have the XCADEY XPOWER-S in my cart for a while now and could get it cheap for CAD $350 right now

or is there something better out there?

There's actually not that much difference between 32 internal and something like 25 or 26. The guys from the Bicycle Station YouTube channel installed the same tires on the super wide Zipp XPLR and Reserve gravel wheels, and the difference was 1 mm, if I remember correctly

Doh I’m putting my p515 up for sale and have just received the new assimo pedals so I could in the future upgrade my ultegra cranks to something a bit lighter, should have held off a few days!

I'm in USA dog. Prices are within a few dollars of what they were a year ago for the Stone chainrings I have on two bikes.
