Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Does anyone here have experience with brake hoses for SRAM? I find the prices for OEM replacements extortionate (31 GBP for one hose with 2 barbs...) so this would be a great alternative: I bought some before discovering my SRAM hoses had a fixed angled end in the brifter so needed to be replaced entirely to run them through the bars. I couldn't find anything to fit on aliexpress but got some Jagwire hoses that were about £20 each. January 21, 2026, 04:15:21 PM |

Is the 35mm requirement the same for SRAM bolts? I only have the 32s around so would appreciate a heads up if anyone knows No, you need 35mm for SRAM brakes too. 32mm is too short! I used these: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIdRM9Q January 23, 2026, 11:08:57 PM |

Thank you! Did you get the M6 or the M6 version? From looking around, it seems like the M6 are the correct ones? I installed a SRAM Rival XPLR 2025 brake system and needed M5 screws. However, there are also brake calipers with M6 screws; please check this on your bike yourself. January 24, 2026, 04:08:27 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
I know some on here have reported issues with the seatpost not clamping correctly. I have just put mine together and I noticed that the clamp 'wedge' as supplied from LC seemed like it was constructed incorrectly! The clamp is made of three triangle wedges and the one in the middle seemed upsidedown in my eyes. I reversed this as shown in my picture below. On the left is the clamp as supplied, and on the right is the clamp after I rotated the center wedge. In my mind this would give a better spread of clamping force on the seatpost. I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem others have experienced, but maybe worth a look. I have had a short ride on mine and I have no issues with my seatpost.

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road)
Am I understanding the instructions correctly that you basically have to cut the fork 8mm below the top of the stem (4mm plug + 4-5mm space on top)? I tink it's like 5-6 mm all together... but I don't have the instruction right here... still I wanted to respond to your (quite important) question... April 02, 2026, 01:35:40 AM |
