Re: Coins On Aliexpress website
I have a Google pixel so that both China and the US get the same chance to spy on me from A to Z. One thing I appreciate on Android is that i have a button to deactivate the microphone. I'm sure it does nothing but illusion of control helps me sleep at night. I also have tape on my selfie camera. But I do have AliExpress app on my phone :/

Re: TT-X42 Full Bike with Carbon and Wheeltop
Hello. I was a little ambitious - it's possible if you go with L-Twoo ER9 instead. Add another $150 USD or so for the Wheeltop groupset - maybe you could fit it within budget if you managed to time the coupons perfectly. Here's a similar build from individual parts (though the wheels and crank are probably a bit better)

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Where are the discounted 105 Di2's available? Anyone know if it's possible to get just the shifter+FD+RD+disc brake calipers+battery (minus crank, cassette, etc.)? https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq5ZADl February 27, 2025, 06:49:12 PM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Seems a lot of the sellers exclude the battery, only include the battery casing. Searched through LTWOO's site and manual but no mention of what battery types the battery case accepts. Anyone know? Any type 14500 batteries. 3,7v and 800mAh. Available anywhere at about 5 EUR a piece. Make sure that the +pole is not flat, there are two options for that. The raised pole is what you want.

I've picked up 14500 3.7v 800mah batteries that were 51mm-53mm and they're too big. 51mm will barely fit, but I didn't feel comfortable because it put strain on the battery holder casing.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Make sure that the +pole is not flat, there are two options for that. The raised pole is what you want. This is often called "button top". You want button top 14500 cells. And, you also want to make sure to get some without extra fancy features. Some offer special USB ports for charging the cell via usb or other things like that. You don't want any of that, and it might interfere with how the Ltwoo charger is supposed to work. February 28, 2025, 09:23:25 AM |

Re: Spcycle New Mold SP-R088 Carbon Road Frame
Looking at the photos, the fork legs seem sturdy....but if this does not translate into excessive rigidity while riding the bike on the road, well, I would say excellent result. My other road bike has a much more narrow fork. The R088 is a bit wider and thicker. Road chatter feels slightly more muted, especially on my 25c tubeless tires. On 28c tires, it's practically on cushions! One last observation. Lightweight bikes do feel physically a bit more fragile. I can bang around my 940g TFSA SL6 clone and not worry as much. My other 1150g gravel frameset is a straight up tank that can survive the off-road desert. The sub 790g R088 is like a dainty wallflower. It's stiff enough when riding, but I won't be tossing this bike around! February 28, 2025, 02:02:56 PM |

Re: TT-X42 Full Bike with Carbon and Wheeltop
Hi. I am 178cm and an inseam of 82cm. I got the 53cm. In hindsight, i could have gotten a size smaller however the toe overlap would be an issue. March 01, 2025, 01:36:58 AM |

Re: Spcycle New Mold SP-R088 Carbon Road Frame
Thanks for sharing those thoughts. I'm considering building up from the R088 and was curious about stiffness, frame flex/creakiness especially in the BB area. Also considering the TT-X68. Would you buy this frame again or does another give better value? Half my cycling is climbing uphills and surprisingly this frame feels fairly stiff despite being somewhat lightweight. I'm just using a regular BBR60 Ultegra threaded BB and haven't noticed any creaking. In fact that was one of the first things I checked for when I built this frame earlier in the year. For the price, it's probably one of best values in the SL8 clone market. It's also unique with UDH, less weight than the TT-X68/SL8 clones, the ability to use mechanical groupsets and less bulbous head tube. If those features sound like something you'd prefer, I'd go with the R088. March 01, 2025, 10:40:00 AM |
