Thats where mine feels too flexible. The bottom end of the frame does feel ok but the head tube to seat tube moves too much.

It's fine to be able to get the power down but it's not a good feeling if the bars and seat always feel as they are going in different directions.

I ordered V2. Does anyone know if this would work instead of the supplied plug. I think it looks better than the top cap.

Hello
"If you grab it where the head tube and seat post meet, it flexes."
That doesn't mean anything.
Are you referring to the main tube, the one between the head tube and the seat post (the "horizontal" tube)?

Write in your language and use Google Translate to translate.
It's normal for the carbon to dent if you press on it in certain places; that doesn't necessarily mean it's a risk.

Eso mismo me pasaba a mi, bajando, al frenar y entrar en curva, una rueda no iba detras de la otra.

Ostro has a D shaped steerer, so no.

Shame. Thanks

It won't fit as smoothly with the black inc bar, but you can always use any top cap you want with the supplied expander plug. The system is the same.

Ah nice ive seen you can buy a factor standard top cap for next to nothing, so might just pop that on

Hello
The top cap of the Combo Black Inc handlebar is not round,. You can use this round top cap but It will look very ugly because it's not adapted to the shape of the combo's stem.
use the one supplied with the handlebar.

The one supplied with the handlebars looks even uglier and fake. 😂

Someone in this thread sanded down their fake aero top cap to fit better and look more like the genuine one.

In fact it was BIFO17  ;D

Look at this example of a real one on youtube. I think it looks pretty good

Alienado

Anyone bought this frameset model came included the computer mount and adapter for SRAM rotors?

I waiting for frameset delivery and I want install 160mm SRAM Rival disc rotors when it arrives.

I dont think it comes with the mount but I asked Tom from Taiwan glory if he could include one to make up for the top cap. He said he would.
