Re: Carbonda FM909
May I know your height?178cm, long legs(89cm inseam) long harms. Everyone is different. For a coming build, I suggested the guy to go first with a stem+bar first. UNO stems are cheap to test. And when he's sure, we'll get him the integrated bar. Cheaper and more precise than a bike fit. November 12, 2023, 12:41:58 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Yes, but you have to get off the bike to reach the lever.You can reach it while riding, not practical but possible

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
I carry the electric pump and CO2 for gravel. For my road bikes I just carry the e-pump since I'm running clinchers and TPU tubes. Important question before purchase, did you get a flat already ?

Re: First Road Bike Build
I'm curious about your opinion and recommendations on Press-Fit vs Thread-Together BB86 bottom bracket shells and especially these two in particular: The thread together ZTTO BBs I tried were great; however, for that price, don't expect to get quality bearings. You can replace the bearings with better ones. However, one hard issue, especially in the DUB world, is finding replacement plastic sleeves if you crush them. I'm a tinkerer, so it's fine for me, but if you're not, I would recommend the Shimano one. If installed correctly with a compound to help it adhere to the frame, it should be reliable for many thousands of kilometers/miles. December 08, 2023, 10:53:34 AM |

Re: Ryet wheelset?
Google for any brand with the words "exploded rim" and you'll find some. Personally I've seen Bontrager and Roval similarly exploded wheels, as well as some of the lightbicycle ones I helped to buy. It happens, it is the way carbon fails. The most important is the warranty you get when this happens. All the brand above honor it. Looking forward to see how Ryet is reacting to that.

Re: Ali express disc brake pads, recommendations
I tried the yellow Swiss stop on my road bike last year. The best right ? And not that impressed by their cost/braking power, I came back to my beloved pink Elite Cooma: https://alphabicycling.aliexpress.com/store/group/Elite-Brake-Pads/1513091_10000001152730.html I put them on all kind of bikes: road, gravel, MTB and e-bike.

Re: Shock hardware from aliexpress?
Thank you! I was looking at that one. Did you use it with one of the install tools they sell on Aliexpress? I had a used tool from Wheels MFG for years in the workshop, but I didn't know what it was for. One day, I found out it had exactly the right diameters to hammer out the bushings from shocks. Then I use my usual hub press to gently install the bearing into the shock. December 12, 2023, 07:09:23 AM |

Re: Magene P505 PES Base Spider Powermeter
I need a non-Boost fitment for SRAM 3 bolt (0mm offset). What are my options here? I have a Sigeyi on my MTB. XCadey is another one. However they continuously increased their prices these last years, and I often see good deals on Quarq ones. December 20, 2023, 09:06:19 AM |

Re: Inexpensive Torque Wrenches
Are digital torque wrenches useful? I think they might be more of an "idiot-proof" way to make sure you don't destroy your carbon bike lol I'm so happy of mine for this exact same reason. However I'm not sure it should be re-calibrated, from time to time. I just asked SHAHE about it. December 31, 2023, 05:18:50 AM |

Re: Consensus on replica frames ??
The nero show hosted a very interesting discussion about the replica frames with Joe from Panda Podium. Long story short, I wouldn't descend an Alps col full speed like I love, with a replica
