Aftermarket 12-Speed Chainrings – Stone, Pass Quest, or Other Recommendations? Gents, I know this topic has been covered a million times!, but when it comes to aftermarket chainrings for 12-speed Shimano, the usual names that come up are Stone and Pass Quest.
Only ask as this is something aftermarket I have never bought!

Are these on par in terms of quality and performance, or is there a standout option?

I’m currently running Cybrei Meta Aero 54/38, but with the Mallorca 312 coming up in a few weeks, I’m looking for a 52/36 aero-style set.

Any recommendations or real-world experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Aftermarket 12-Speed Chainrings – Stone, Pass Quest, or Other Recommendations? I'm using the PASS QUEST 110 BCD "aero-style" chainrings on my road bike for about a year now (~5.000 km). No idea if the aero is more than just looks. I wouldn't know the difference at my power output. However, I think they look great and fit the overall design idea of my build - that's why I bought them. Attached are two pics so you can decide for yourself  ;D

I'm using the amateur's 50/34 but they have all kinds of configuration from 46/33 up to 56/42 incl. your 52/36 preference. They are not the cheapest, so I recommend waiting for a sale. I got mine for about 75€ incl. shipping to Germany to give you a reference point. There are always different shops selling them, so looking around for the best deal might be worth it. If you are on a rush to get them that might not be an option though. Shipping took about 2 weeks for me.

On AliEx (Magene shop) you can read:
Not Support T47-86.5mm and BB386 bottom bracket ！

On my Aliexpress product page is:
"Compatible with 68mm-86.5mm standard road bike bottom brackets."

Re: Magene P515 PES Spider Powermeter My short experience with P515.
Sale via Ali from the EU shop went very well, delivery took 3-4 days more then expected. Crank looks very good, marginal heavier than the 105. Assembly was also no problem, I ordered it with the QED chainrings. Installation on my Lightcarbon LCR017 was not a big problem, I did however have to add a spacer on the drive side because otherwise there would have been play between the two arms. First 100k tour was also problem-free, recording in. Compared to the power meter pedals seems to be lower in the numbers, maybe still needs to be calibrated. What I also noticed is that the QED chainrings are louder than my 105 crank.
I hope this can help you a little.
Best regards.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) There are plenty of road bikes with round tubes, the most un-aerodynamic shape. So no reason to not use one as a road bike.
It wont be the most aero thing on wheels, but if it fits the rider well and they can bend their arms, it’ll be more aero that someone sitting upright on a Cervelo S5.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Just placed my order for a 54cm frameset with Carol from LightCarbon.
Ordered both seatposts to make sure I get the optimum fit, went for raw carbon finish, lacquered, with silver holographic decals.
Went for the model with in-frame storage, which is a really nice addition.
Really interested in the bar/stem - looks really lovely from the photos - hoping to be able to get a really nice computer mount, but the 3 hole design dissent seem to be that popular so choices look limited. I'll see what the stock mount looks like and go from there.

Cant wait to see how it turns out,  I have a set of 45mm Go-Zone carbon wheels, rainbow brass nipples, spam cx-ray spokes, 23 internal, which ill fit 30mm GP5000s to which should give some comfort on the crappy roads.
Groupset is an Ultegra 8170 di2, plus I just managed to get a ceramicspeed t47 bottom bracket off eBay at a good price, so that should really finish the job nicely.
I'll take photos once the frame arrives and maybe to a build thread with photos and comments as I get the build done.

Not sure when the frame will be ready to ship, hoping not too long a wait.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) Clarification of some issues regarding the LCR018-D frame set,
1, the seat post have two options: 0mm offset and 15mm offset,
The second option was originally designed with a 20mm offset, but after testing, we found a 15mm offset to be more stable, so that's the final version.
The default offset for the seatpost is 0mm, as the 15mm seatpost is still in production.
2. about the max chainring
a. If use Shimano crankset, max 2x chainring 54-40T, max 1x chainring 42T (smaller ones are all fine).
b. If use Sram crankset, max 2x chainring 56-43T, max 1x chainring 54T (smaller ones are all fine).
if install the chainring Sram 56-43T with CL 45mm, there is a space width 5.8mm to the frame, it's enough,
if 1X 54T, the space is 7.8mm,
check the attached photos.
If you have more questions, please leave a message or contact your sales representative, or contact jim@Lightcarbon.com

Has anybody tested it with SRAM XPLR 13-speed 10-46 yet? The last thing I read was that it uses something called 'UDH Mini,' which I had never heard of before.
the mini UDH hanger, It's actually a lightweight version of the UDH hanger. It's smaller and lighter than a regular UDH hanger, but it performs the same function as a regular UDH hanger.
You can install a regular UDH hanger, or remove the UDH hanger and install the T-type.

do you just stuff it in the seatpost?
Leftover bar tape is a good way to fit a battery in a seatpost as the tapered profile allows you easily adjust the diameter by overlapping more or less.
