Re: Winter bike groupset
I don't think theres a ton of users here with Sensah hydro yet. Quite a few of us jumped on the Ltwoo group when it released. I'm using the GR9 group on my gravel bike. Arrived with a faulty right (rear) shifter and had to wait for the replacement. I've ridden and raced the group and it has performed well. Ergonomics on the hoods seem to be the issue or perk for many. I like it as it is similar to Campagnolo which I had on my road bike back in the day. November 08, 2023, 08:50:30 AM |

Re: Miracle / MIRA FS822
Mini update. I picked up the final part (dropper) last night. I was hoping to use the dropper from my Airwolf hardtail but it is stuck - my first time as a victim of alloy post corroding in a carbon frame! Order of little bits (BB; centerlock / 6 bolt adapters) from ZTTO arrived in less than a week. Decals and wrap added to frame and cables/ hoses are routed. Shock is fitted. The hardware was a bit of work. The shock reducers are listed as 8*22mm but the front one did not fit - I filed it down to ~21.7mm and it's in. The BB is fitted - no issues at all with the threads. As I get to know the frame, I am impressed with the quality. I'm aiming to build the bike this week, and hope to have a 'shakedown' and first proper pics and report this weekend. I'm excited to finally ride it and do the 'big reveal'! November 08, 2023, 03:07:03 PM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
Any other _big boys_ in here? I am 183cm (6ftish) and 107kg (235ishlbs) and have always struggled to scale cycling clothing sizing to my body. Don't mind wearing tight gear, but I've got XXL stuff from italian brands that fit more prohibitively than a size L jersey of an american maker. So, my question is: has anyone of similar thiccboi status tried much of the known/good ali brands? November 09, 2023, 03:01:39 PM |

Re: LCFS948 - a new enduro from Light Carbon
We change the linkage, so there are enough room for coil shock, and There will be external cable routing at the head tube. November 30, 2023, 01:09:04 AM |

Re: Which stems are good?
Kalloy Uno is the gold standard for aluminum stems. Lightweight, inexpensive, durable. Can be found on AliExpress and Ebay. The logo is easy to remove with paint thinner as well.

Re: LCFS948 - a new enduro from Light Carbon
This might already be out for production, but if there is anyway to shorten the seat tube length so riders could fit a larger dropper post and have a lower stand over height, it would be really appreciated. It would also probably make the bike more attractive to a larger audience of buyers. 495mm is a very long seat tube length for a size large bike. Most manufactures try to get those below the 450mm mark.

Re: III Pro PEERAGE 4 brakes - piccola clone
Hose routing to the levers appears to require a handlebar that supports interior routing.

Re: Magene QED P325 Crankset
The fundamental problem is the Magene integrated spider+chainring made for this crankset is too soft and bends out-of-true through normal use. Normally this problem could be solved by replacing it with a heavier, stiffer/stronger spider + chainring. But the secondary problem is that this is not an option, because the spider interface is proprietary and Magene does not sell a (non power meter) spider for this crankset, at least not in western markets.
