XMCS - Factory tour with Peter Xu / Hubs, Frame, Rims So guys, spring festival is over, I already had that video done a while, but I feel confident to release it now, after the people over at XMCS are back at the office :)

It's a Tour De Force through all of the individual factories





I also summarized most of the video info in a Blog Post, also with (sortable) table of all available wheels on their website right now, as well as the details on the Hub line up of Xiamen Carbonspeed.

Here the frame line-up AFAIK for 2026, but I guess Tim/Requiem from XMCS nl is even more up to speed than me:

- Gravel Frame: the gravel frame was not discussed in the video https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6967.0/topicseen.html
- Aero Racing #1: we had a detailed look at one of their Racing frames, with the new tech developed from XMCS regarding max. stiffness.
- Aero Racing #2: also not in the video, Photo in the blog post.
- New handlebars that go with the frames.

Otherwise, as far as I understood, there are more changes coming this year, so stay tuned :)

Re: Quick Pro Blade Just finished building my roadbike with the Blade Frameset in XXL with the SSL Handlebars.

Build went rather smoothly for my first bike ever.
It's my first ever road bike (coming from a 12kg aluminum gravel bike), so not much to compare against.
Rides great, responsive, stiff, but still forgiving I guess.
Weight is 7,5kg with Garmin mount and Ultegra Pedals

Some Images attached

Re: A request to all manufacturers who browse these forums... There is a balance between innovation and giving consumers an excuse to spend more money. Under the guise of innovation.

Re: LTWOO eGR My impatience got the best of me. Used the $45 coupon and ordered the new eGR.

The SPCycle G058 suggested above by pandagravel15 (thanks!!) looks like it fits in that category unless I'm misreading the charts.
its what i run. long legs, short torso, so already i gravity towards different stack/reach geo compared to most. Add some neck injury and im quite happy running such a tall setup.

Interesting Chat with a vendor So. I wanted to send both chains back but Aliexpress proposed a 20€ discount. So i kept the black one and still sent away the oilslick one.
After that i got a beautiful message from the vendor :D

Re: USB-C Compact Di2 charger

There are shitty ones and good ones. I ordered the first one on the advent of these di2 adapters and it was made of cheap 3d printed plastic and fell apart after two charges, the electronics were fine. I now have waaay sturdier adapter from Rrskit and it works great. I just hate too many cables and having one usb-c with adapters is way more convenient. I use it to charge di2 conveniently at home and for travel and it is great (for now).

Rrskit is what I have too. Works perfect.

Re: KORE wheelsets Tengo los dos juegos de ruedas, tanto las cyclone de radios de carbono como las topgun con radios de acero. La topgun es igual de rigida que cualquier otra rueda con radios de acero, la cyclone en cambio si que es mucho mas rigida como cualquier rueda con radios de carbono. Las topgun son las de 50mm de perfil 24mm interno y 30mm externo. Adjutno las fotos de peso de cada una con fondo de llanta instalado.

Hi again!

So sorry to bother you with my vibration issue (big chainring / small cogs) again.
I know it sounds crazy, but could anyone with an Ultegra Di2 R8100 (2x12, 11-34) take a quick video of their bike on a stand spinning in that gear please 🙏 (using the smallest cog) ?
As this is my first bike, I'm just wondering if this vibration is normal and if it’s all in my head.

Thank you so much for your help… sorry again

I am using ultegra 12 speed Di2 and in 52 chainring and 34 cassette, I have no issues. Make sure the chain is on correctly, writing/branding facing out. The chain can run rough if on the wrong way, ask me how I know... As others mentioned, make sure the hanger is not bent, chain line is correct and the derailleur is adjusted correctly. Not sure but if you are using a wax for the chain, I get some noise/rough shifts for the first 10km until it breaks in. Also using a shimano quick link if you are not, to help trouble shoot issue.
