Which 27.5 hardtail?
Thinking of getting a Chiner frame in small for my GF, she's 5'5. Anyone got suggestions of a carbon 27.5 hardtail? Also, would be after a custom colour. September 28, 2020, 12:40:24 PM |

Re: Narrow integrated handlebars
I've noticed more demand for narrower integrated handlebars, but for me I find the 36/42 option from BMC to be the sweet spot. It would be great if Peter or another manufacturer could offer quality narrow handlebars with some flare for descents at an affordable price. bonus point for integrated computer mount February 06, 2025, 03:42:03 AM |

Re: Speeder Cycling SC-R55D
I'm planning my first build, and the first frameset I considered was LTK268-D. After reading this topic, I'm having second thoughts. Is 268 dated compared to this frame? I have compared both and there are other users on here with direct experience which is highly valuable, but I don't see why one is dated over the other. I would however distinguish between the Velobuild 268 and Long Teng 268, the latter seeming to offer much higher quality. Clearance wise similar, weight wise - the Speeder might have a slightly lighter frame but not fork. The speeder however has more agressive geometry, which didn't work for me.

Re: Speeder Cycling SC-R55D
Just placed an order for LTK268. Ultimately i like the look of this frame more. Also as you said, geometry is more manageable. Nice one. Good luck with the build! I am close to ordering one myself October 10, 2025, 06:30:05 AM |

Re: Shimano di2 groupsets from aliexpress
I’m planning to buy either 105 or Ultegra di2 for my build, and I find prices on Ali express really tempting. However I don’t usually shop on Ali so I don’t know what to expect for 11/11, do you think the prices will be even lower for said groupsets? Thank you.Expect 15-20% discount on coupon alone October 13, 2025, 06:14:11 PM |

Re: Shimano di2 groupsets from aliexpress
Gave this a shot with Yiwu Donglue on Ali. <800€ total for Ultegra with an 11-34 cassette and no crankset or brake rotors. Shipping to Germany was via UPS and import fees were like 30€. Seeing as the equivalent from bike-discount is like 1250€, I think this is a pretty sweet deal.

Re: Better hold off on the Magene QED electronic groupset
Besides this brake issue which has not recurred for anyone else, what are the opinions and news about Magene QED? Which would you choose among Magene / L-Twoo eRX eR9 / Wheeltop EDS-TX ? Or 105 Di2?I am invested in Wheeltop EDS systems in that I own 4 sets installed on bikes, one used set off the bike, and a second brand new set of TX series with hydraulic brakes. Posted in the EDS TX thread is the "close-as-it-comes" account of my original EDS TX hydraulic levers both locking up at the same time heading into a corner at luckily lower speeds in a pack, such that as I pulled on the levers, they froze/locked up and did not push fluid down to the calipers. I was able to get to the side of the other riders, go off the shoulder of the road, all the while pumping/forcefully pulling on the levers, then pop, they started working. This happened again a second time to both levers and at higher speed on a corner. They started working again just before I could have crashed. The third time only one lever locked up. I purchased a new set of TX levers from XZX Components. I installed them, and the RH lever wouldn't shift correctly, so Jerry replaced this lever. After replacing the original pair of levers, the brakes have worked perfectly for thousands of miles. The bad levers have been sitting in a box for the past year+. I am having almost constant issues with my IIIPro E4 MTB brakes I started purchasing 3+ years ago. (Another thread on this forum.) I see parallel problems to what happened with my IIIPro brakes, and the OP, except I have been lucky and have only had one brake fail at a time. I have gradually been studying, measuring and examining my failed IIIPro brakes. I listened again to the video posted in this thread. Based on my growing experience with my problem brakes, I believe that in the next month or so, I will have a Q&A spreadsheet put together that could help with some post-forensic study of the OP's original failure. Every time I suffer another problem with my rear IIIPro brake, I believe I have resolved the problem, but then the brake fails again in a short period of time. I want to blame these brakes basic design, but then in theory, bicycle hydraulic brakes are actually a very simple design. Hydraulic brakes have been around since the 1920s for cars and the 1970s for motorcycles. Bicycle hydraulic brakes are scaled down motorcycle brakes. So I ask myself, what is the differences between Shimano, SRAM, HOPE Tech versus contemporary Chinese based designs. To me, it ain't rocket science! October 28, 2025, 05:52:32 PM |
