short question is this chainring compatibel with magene pes 515? and second Question: Is this chainring combatible with 12s Shimano HG+ Chain? I had a Problem with serveral chinese chainrings... but these one should be fine right?

[oker_s]

So yes, it is compatible with the Magene P515 power meter. It just depends on how you want to set it up: if you want a double chainring setup (2x), then no, it’s not suitable. If you want to use it as 1x, then yes, it works.

For a 2x setup, I’d still recommend this one from the same brand, which I’m currently using https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010322400821.html

thanks...yes of course 1x setup...riding the new di2 grx 825/827

So it will work

good feedback on Shimano Style raceworks bb86 bottom bracket.
I bought the 92mm and used the 86mm Shimano middle spacer and it fit perfectly.
after the first 100km , the bearing are just running smooth. Pushing the crankset, it turns 4/5 times before stopping

That is not always a good thing.

Anyone tried these Rujixu carbon wheels with the "dragon scale" texture?
Came across this set on AliExpress — looks like an attempt to mimic Scope's textured wheel finish, though the execution seems pretty rough compared to the original
Wheels are 23mm internal and 30mm external, not bad for the new wider wheels standard. Also, not cheap wheels as far as Aliexpress goes
Has anyone here actually ordered a set? Curious about build quality, weight, and whether the texture holds up (or just looks bad up close).

Another batch of titanium freehub bodies for goldix hubs. Tho these ones looks way better than the old ones.

I have a question.  I love Titanium, and my cycling nickname is TiJoe.   What does a TI Goldix freehub achieve being made out of TI versus aluminum?
I have yet to have an aluminum freehub body fail.  Wouldn't a Ti freehub body be heavier?

Marketing for the most part. Titanium means walls can be made thinner for the same strength, but replacing aluminium parts with titanium is just for the exotic buzzword. It might be stiffer but is there really a point in that for a freehub body?

Imho it’s just a flex. I guess the cassette won’t eat into the freehub, as Ti is hard af. That’s it. Perhaps it will more likely fuck up the cassette spider haha.

Correct. I'm on an older titanium freehub body as the big ass 51-10 cassette gouged out the stock and alu replacements freehubs body and i couldn't be bothered to file it down. IMO its a piece of mind for 30-40€ during sales.

Thinking about it,  I used to have problems with the aluminum HG cassette hubs becoming gouged.  When I switched over to Micro Spline, I have had no issues with gouges in the splines.  Over the past 4 years, all of my bikes run Micro Spline freehubs.    The unibody cassettes fit onto the splines very securely and distribute the loads across the splines, versus the old HG design.   Many of my bikes run a 32T or 30T chainring in front, with either 10-50 or 10-52 MS cassettes.
You must be running MS or XD/R if you have a 10T highest cog on back.  Therefore, why are you gouging the splines on the hub?

I trusted the bike shop to install and swap the cassette and it became gouged out. Now i do it myself and nothing happened so far.

Any recommendation for internally routed stems? Looking for something with -6deg, saw some recommendations for balugoe / riro already. A bit unsure about the spacer situation and headset top cap, should fit on a mondince frame.
