I have it, it's a great bike ask me anything you want to know

Would love to know more of your thoughts on it! Looking into this vs Lightcarbon LCR018

Re: Tavelo Arden The more that gets released about this frame, the worse it looks. What an odd direction for Tavelo to go in. We were all led to believe this is shaping up to be something new and progressive when it's just the Arow 2 from the looks of things.

Just finished my build. Colours didn’t match my order (royal blue and matt carbon) and the extra cage bolt on the downtube was added above the original two instead of below per my request, but it looks great and rides really nice, got to be happy with it for what they charge!

Coming from a 2023 Supersix Evo gen3 (which I loved except for the bars were a bit low - steerer was already cut when I bought it 2nd hand, compares very well so far. I wanted a higher stack and longer front centre, the bottom bracket with Elilee carbon cranks are super stiff (I opted for no storage compartment), so I will probably use this bike for both racing and endurance rides and sell the SSEvo.

58/XL size frame weighed about 1070g, bars 320g, fork 440g before cutting steerer, total build ready to ride at 7.55kg, right about where I wanted to end up.
Congratulations!
Wheels profile height?

I would have chosen the storage compartment...I think it's very convenient for storing some emergency tools without ruining the frame's aesthetics with bags and/or storage bottles.  ;)

Re: Quickpro Zeit Pro Gen 2? Anyone have any info/experience with this bike? If I’m not wrong the Zeit Pro is basically a rebranded Carbonda CFR1056 aka Flybikes FM1056? I do see on bilibili there is are differences between gen 1 and gen 2 though.

Re: Hygge S-Aura Hey guys,

Just wanted to share that I’ve finally finished my Hygge S-AURA build!

As planned, I went with an 11-speed Ultegra Di2 groupset and Yoeleo C60 Pro wheels. For the crankset, I picked the Magene TEO with the PES 515 power meter. The bottle cages are the Ahyka Aero ones from PandaPodium (which is also where I sourced the power meter).

The Build Process:
Routing cables for an 11-speed Di2 is always a pain, especially through the cockpit. But honestly, this handlebar was way easier to work with than others I’ve dealt with in the past.
However, I did struggle quite a bit getting the cable through the chainstay to the rear derailleur. In the end, a wire coat hanger and a cable guide saved the day.

The front brake caused a bit more trouble. Unfortunately, the lower part of the threads was filled with paint. I actually had to re-tap both threads before I could even mount the caliper.

The Headset Issue:
The biggest headache so far has been the headset. The fork crown rubs slightly against the frame, which is obviously chipping the paint. I’m not entirely sure yet if it’s just a case of excessive paint buildup or something else. I reached out to Hygge about it, and they promised to send me a headset bearing kit with an 8mm stack height instead of the standard 7mm. Let's see if that fixes it.

On a side note, I also replaced the stock hanger with a UDH direct mount hanger for Shimano.

First Ride Impressions:
The first few kilometers felt really good. Nothing unusual stood out, which is definitely a positive thing! The cockpit feels solid and plenty stiff. And surprisingly, the 3D-printed saddle they threw in as a freebie is actually super comfortable.

And now for the most important part: the weight! 😉
Fully built including pedals, bottle cages, and a Garmin mount (race-ready): 7,260g

For this price point, that’s an absolute statement, IMO. If I swapped to slightly lighter Serenade wheels and lighter pedals (currently running Ultegra), breaking the 7kg mark is definitely within reach.

Quick Pro AR:ONE Build Hello,

Starting a thread to document my build over the next two months (end of September to start of October for the completed build) and to replace that really old thread about the AR:ONE for discussion. I'm coming from a 2011 CAAD10 that I bought used just before the start of 25' that I've been riding the hell out of. So I'm pretty excited to see how my build will shape out, as I've received the frameset a few days ago and my wheelset shipped yesterday.

Background

I was pretty undecided between the ER:ONE and AR:ONE as they're in similar price categories. In the end though, what won me over was that the AR:ONE was said to emulate the feeling of super stiff rim brake bikes AND is aero enough, while being quite light for climbing. I'm about 173 cm tall and 57 kg, and so climbing is one of the most enjoyable things to me. The idea of having a really stiff and light bike to throw around appealed to me the most.

Build Plan and Costs

I live in Canada but I'm travelling to China in September for a bit over two weeks. So I plan to purchase the majority of my bicycle parts in the meantime while I'm there and have already researched costs, so I've got a pretty good rough estimate already. At the moment I've got the frameset & handlebars in, and the wheels have been shipped - I haven't received them yet, but they're from a smaller store.They're advertised as 1165g, but I'll post pictures of them when they arrive and inspect them in person.

Maybe I'll change the bar tape as it's not finalized yet, but I'll see. And in addition to this, I plan to run a waxed drivetrain so that it's clean and lasts longer.

All in all, I think the build will come out to be just 6.9 - 7.1 kg with mounts and pedals. We'll see but it'll be a big upgrade for sure.

Parts & Costs (CAD)

Frameset (includes headset and seatpost): AR:ONE - $2,713
Handlebars: Zephyr SSL - $286 (Includes computer mount).
Saddle: Fizik Vento Arione R5 - $136
Bottle Cages: No name Chinese carbon cages - $20

Bar Tape: Fizik Tacky 2mm - $48
Groupset (w/o crankset): Ultegra DI2 R8170 - $1130
Crankset Ultegra 160mm crankset: - N/A (already had them on my CAAD).
Disc Rotors with 140 - 160 adapter: IIIPro A2 160mm + 140mm - $32 (as a pair).

Bottom Bracket: BBR60 - $15

Wheelset: No Name 45mm Chinese Wheels - $600
TPU Tubes: Spades branded TPU tubes - N/A (Included with frameset order).
Tires: GP5000 30mm - $155 (as a pair).
Pedals: 105 R7000 - N/A (I plan to swap this to Favero Assiomas when they go on sale though in Nov).
Rear Light Mount: AR:ONE seatpost rear light mount for Wahoo - $6 (I want to install a Wahoo TRACKR radar).
Front Computer Mount: Niu Ju - $20 I will probably go with Niu Ju again, but not sure yet.

Total Cost Estimate
$5,158 CAD or 3,701 USD.

Attached a few pictures of the frameset. The frameset was really clean and I didn't see any issues. I think the build will go smooth, but this will be my first time setting up a disc brake bike, let alone a DI2 system. I've only built up my CAAD10 and have cut the fork on it already. Hopefully it goes well - I'll probably get my friend to help me and pay him a Costco pizza and a drink lol. Nothing like dragging your homies for 4 hours of unpaid labour and paying him with food and drinks.
