I have that chainring on a Senicx Crankset.  It’s been super solid for nearly 2000 miles this year.

I'm in the process of converting back to 2x gravel. I miss having higher gearing and I don't like the extreme chain lines with 1x. This is the only direct mount chainring that has a 46:30t gear range, but the annoying part is that prices are all over the place on AliEx. So far this store seems to have the cheapest prices for this particular Senicx 2x gravel chainring. Bucklos has a more common 48:32t chainring on AliEx, but I want the smaller 30t inner ring. Though you may need a gravel frame that has either a low mount braze-on or a round seat tube for an FD clamp.

I have it on my TFSA bike on the indoor trainer. It works, but since I almost always ride in the same gear I can't say much about shifting performance... I did have to lower the FD all the way down the hanger and I don't know if it is ideal now, so it will depend on the frame...

Speaking of chainrings, any feedback on Pass Quest? The product pages look good, kinda pricier but quality seems better than average AliEx 'rings. In fact, I am trying to replace FSA rings on my Cannondale and these PQ rings are more expensive than FSA original. They are lighter than Cannondale's 10 arm OPI rings though.



I did not ride an test them, but optical appearance seems to be very good. I will test the shifting quality later because the frame for this project was not even produced yet.

Thanks all. Anyone use these with SRAM Yaw FD by any chance? Yaw FD are b*itches.

Regarding these Pass Quest solid chain rings.  You do realize that having a solid chairing is just a waste of extra material and added weight.   Chain rings have all the extra material machined out for a reason.  Just saying...

I know, I know... I'm a weekend warrior with around 3.5W/kg, so it's all about aesthetics. At least the bike will look fast.  8)

They have hollowed out version of each too. These solid discs are "aero" apparently.

The Goldix store has a few new items. This is the cheapest I've seen on the new style ZTTO/Sunshine cassettes with the one piece shaft similar to the Spedao/SRoad cassette, but with more secure rivet attachments:

Goldix also has a new 110 BCD 5 bolt carbon crankset that comes in at 392g with alloy axle. Paired with a lightweight 110 BCD 50-34t chainring (about 122g) that would come in about the same weight as the direct mount carbon cranksets if not less. I personally have no issues with 24mm alloy axles. I have them on all my bikes now:

Just collected 11/11 coupons. I think they are limited in numbers. Last time I waited too long and missed on the 30 off 200 coupon.

Except in side and cross winds.   ;D

how do you do that? Edit: found it in the app:
WHERE DO I CHECK FOR MY SELECT COUPONS? STEP 1: Go to My Account and select My Wallet. STEP 2: Click on My Select Coupons and you will be able to view all the Select Coupons you have. These coupons will be applied automatically when you place an order.

Also, when you see superdeals for 11.11, are the prices showing inclusive of coupoon or not?
For exemple these from 381 down to 331 for 11.11, should be elligible for 60 off 300, will it means 271 at the end, + taxes?

Are you able to collect coupons 12OT21 and 15OT51?

Should we start a 2023 11-11 specific thread similar to 11-11 threads for past years? 

When I go to my 11-11 banner I see 3 coupon codes, but I can't click on them and "Collect" them.   I assume they are  automatic.  But then I have been having problems with Aliexpress recently viewing the 11-11 sale items. 

On a side note,  I am not seeing any great sales on any of the Items saved in my cart on my long-term list of parts I have hoped to find on sale starting 11-11.

We could
The coupon are collected in app, didn’t find how to do it on browser

A little piece of genius arrived from ZTTO yesterday: a tool for threading cables and hoses. Comes as a neat little set with all the pieces I can think I would ever need for threading internal cables and hoses. The price seems to go up and down. I paid CAD$10 shipped... it's now cheaper.
