Re: Source for a decent price Campagnalo 12 speed wheelset Oh, and by the way. Campy 12sp doesn’t need special freehubs. The spacing is virtually identical with Shimano. You can use any old wheelset with HG freehub and a Shimano cassette. That’s what I do with my Chinarello Dogma rim brake frame and Chorus 12sp. Works just fine. N3W is only needed for 13sp. Campy 11 and 12sp is cross compatible with Shimano cassettes and equivalents.

Re: Awe crap....was I scammed? DH Gate seller Yes DH has buyer protection, and if you don't get a satisfying resolution, dispute with your credit card company. They should have your back. Take photos and screenshot evidence

Re: LTWOO V1.0 Rear Derailleur-- bad. Any ideas
Looks like the motor gone bad.
Green light is good. Charges good, Front derailleur works fine.
App shows both components. Pressing the button on the derailleur for debugging does not move anything.
Bad motor component is my guess.

I emailed LTWOO direct. Nothing back.
Any other options ?
I'd hate to have to shell out another $600.00 for a whole new V3.0 group set when I all need is damned rear D.
AliEx doesn't seem to sell previous version of parts.

Long press the RD button several times over. Also reset everything back to factory settings in the app (write down your fine tune settings). Also try re-pairing your shifters and RD several times over. Also try charging the battery in a separate charger if possible. Double check that your shifter battery is still good and check if the RD shifts via the app.

Re: KORE wheelsets
I've fitted these to my gravel bike.

Can't say I have any issues about the quality, they do seem a little grabby with crosswinds but its also my first time using tyres this wide too so that may be the problem.


Deep rims and big tires are sails. 

The average windspeed in my area is nearly 13mph/20kmh. The road layouts are in a grid so most of the time its coming at some type of crosswind angle.   --  I run as shallow of a wheel I can find because the aero benefits of a deep wheel don't overcome how annoying the buffeting from cross winds are for me.   Bladed spokes are such a small change that I've never noticed a difference (my road bike has wheelsets in both bladed and regular spokes).

Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM
Now then........ started building the frame for a friend of mine who bought this despite all I told him. Beautiuful looking outside and inside, except. See video below. Waiting to see how he resolves the issue with the seller and AE. The rear went in without the issue, front one not a chance. Trying to push the hose from the bottom or from the top, same result. Stuck in the same spot.

Why are you starting from the wrong side? Even on my real ostro it was very difficult to get the hose through the fork. You need to use a hose routing line.

Re: LTK266-D-SL, race frame, 680g, <800g w/paint & metal parts (M), fits 35mm+ tires
A couple of quick thoughts. Yes, 35mm vs. 32mm clearance is like 1-1.5mm difference per side. It’s not that much, but it can make a huge difference if you actually intend to run a 32mm tire on a large IW rim or a 35mm knobby tire. I recognize I might be the only one who has done both, but it was a criteria for me. This was one of the only options, Chinese or not that could clear a 35mm tire with 6mm all the way around and had a race bike’s geo. The Cervelo and Factors options couldnt do that at the time.

Regarding Chinese companies OEMs pumping out replicas or products that are too flexy / not fit for actual use by people who want to go fast on bikes; the irony is that y’all are complaining on a thread about one OEM products that is an original design that was allegedly benchmarked to deflection numbers of the Giant TCR. Yes, this frame has its warts, the OEM part spec is poor, and the rubber bits are total crap or missing; but it builds into a really nice, light, versatile bike if the geo is right for you.

why are people coming into this thread to dump on Chinese OEMs in general?

Other than needing to buy and use an FSA headset vs. what Alisa sent, I for one had no problems building this bike up, and I had never built a bike before.

Now 2,000 km in, I've raced the bike up a hillclimb TT, descended at 70kph, done multiple fast group rides, gravel rides, group rides through downpours -- at all the paces. It is great for what it is.

It's not an SL8 or an Aethos; its not a Scott Addict RC Pro. Getting any of those bikes built up with the same componentry would have been double the price.

And I'll be putting 35mm knobbies (or maybe those new Conti Terras or G-One RS Pros...open to advice) on it this summer for dirt/fire roads out West.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) I do not think it is a frame issue, I think it is a me and/or fit issue. I do not think I have stated or implied the frame is the issue. I previously asked if anyone else had an issue and have been working through different things to try and resolve it. I worked with a bike fitter before ordering to make sure I order the correct frame size and bars. Now working with him to see if my issue is position related. If this was a frame issue design, I think there would be way more issue brought up here.

Clarifying that to make sure anyone reading doesn't think the frame is the issue as POTOOOOOOOO pointed out.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?
Also for any Newcomers, it is important to remember that this is "His Opinion" and that there mostly positive opinons of TanTan/Seraph frames on this forum.  It should go without saying that you (the perspective buyer) should do your own research before buying any product.

I am riding a tantan frame since 2019. It's still there, I've done races and granfondo with it. Nevertheless, I had to fix plenty of minor issues, with no customer care because, if something goes wrong, tantan simply block you like a disappointed teenager. The forum is full of this kind of experiences.
