I have like 4 Rhinowalk bags at this point, they're all excellent.

How far from the front of the bag is the first bolt hole?  My bike has 100mm from the head tube to the first bolt, is that appropriate for the bag to fit?

Anyone got recommendations for a cheap crankset 165mm?
I don't really care about chainring size i'm just going to use it on my trainer 110 bcd

Not the cheapest, but inexpensive FOVNO 216 aka Tunder. 24mm steel spindle,  direct mount chain ring so a extra few $ for a 110 spid, er. Bought a few different cranksets to play with crank length. By far the best quality and only one that I did not have to "clean up" to fit my Sigeyi 3 bolt power meter.
Close to 5000km on them and no issues

I've been running a couple of Senicx cranksets for over a year that have been solid for mtb and gravel riding.

Anyone try this 11 speed 9-46t cassette? I'm using the Spedao 10-42t cassette with no issue, but I like the fact the 9-46t has tighter gearing at the low and high gear range. A

I have just mounted the 12s version of this in my titanium gravel frame with a GX axs on the back, seems to shift just fine.

There is a new super lightweight option in town

Looks very good

That is scarily low weight

[SillyMochi]

At least they are straight forward with telling you what you are getting and what the limitations of the product are. Good for them.
I hate when they pretend to be ultra durable and super lightweight, whereas everyone knows half the cassette is made of aluminum and won't last very long in hilly terrain.

Only thing strange is that it's literally writen SPEDAO

[SillyMochi]

Didn't we establish already, that Goldix, Spedao, and I think there was a third one, are all the same product just with a different branding and color scheme?

But Goldix and ZTTO new CNC cassettes are better construction then SPEDAO, but yeah probably all made in the same factory.

Goldix Wuzei, Ztto, Sunshine are same. I know because I have bought all of these in different sizes. When you buy these cassettes you get all the actual cogs in one pouch and lockring with their respective brand name in another small pouch. They are simply adding their lock rings on a generic cassette.

SPEDAO is former SROAD that was renamed for whatever reason and has always been more expensive, slightly premium than above four. These earlier SROAD cassettes were generally reviewed very well and reasonably light too.

Then there was Riro recently that had freakishly light and delicate cassettes (that broke) which were even more expensive than SROAD/SPEDAO until these 110 gram Goldix came out. Expect other three brands to follow the suit too.

Goldix and ZTTO are the only brands doing the beefier torx screw spider, 1-piece all-steel road cassettes. Goldix are all black, ZTTO has different colors. Though ZTTO has their own full range of different large range cassettes. The road cassette is my favorite in weight and price, but I still give the performance nod to Shimano cassettes.

Sunshine does those steel/alloy cassettes both in road and MTB ranges. They're generally cheaper, but those big alloy cogs can wear out faster.

Spedao does the riveted lighweight all-steel road cassettes. They also do the 11 speed 10-36t, 10-42t all-steel cassettes and 11/12 speed 10-50t steel/alloy big cog cassette. I'm really enjoying the 10-42t cassette on my gravel bike, though I didn't like their road cassettes since I was experiencing cog skipping. Also there have been reports the alloy spider can crack by the rivets. I've tried reenforcing the rivets on mine with enamel, but it's to be seen if it helps.

Any good stores with replacement thru axles? I had to cut mine off due to a stripped head. I need a 160mmx12mm M12x1 M6x1 rear thru axle. Thanks!
