Re: Gravel Build help, please
Another option as I have done on my Titanium Gravel bike project documented here: http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3555.0.html Combine: - Mechanical 105 shifters - GRX 1x derailleur with Garbaruk cage (You can find a copy on Ali) allowing 11-50 cassettes to be used - Juintech F-1 / Performing well enough for any application including downhill Especially coming from the Shimano world this might be a solution that suits you and saves some money.

Re: Onirii carbon cranks
Any feedback on the Racework crankset? Looks like a budget way to drop almost 500g off my bike The crank looks good so far... I installed it on my 1x Gravelbike but had no chance to do some longer rides so no longterm experience yet. BR Chris January 22, 2023, 12:28:42 PM |

Re: Onirii carbon cranks
Any feedback on the Racework crankset? Looks like a budget way to drop almost 500g off my bike Yeah they look, spin and feel great when pedaling. Just be aware it's a 24mm alloy spindle (versus SRAM alloy 30mm) and that the non-drive side crank arm is susceptible to damage if not torqued properly. On the plus side, Shimano left crank arms fit and come in handy if you're using a power meter or want a sturdier left crank arm. The difference in weight between the Racework and Shimano (based on 105/Ultegra) is 50g. January 23, 2023, 12:51:41 PM |

Re: Custom Waltly Titanium 29er
Sorry if this has been asked but i was not able to find it. what does a basic Ti frame from Waltly cost? i know this is a loaded question as there is a lot of customizing that can be done but just a run of the mill gravel frame or road frame? I would really like to go this route but i kind of want to have a ball park before i get going. Thank you in advance. The road frame that I have on order (which is almost finished - they are doing logos and then it's going to be done!) cost me 8100 Chinese Yuan, or about US$1200 including Chinese domestic shipping and a carbon fork.

Re: Handlebar tape recomendation?
Once I tried Arundel Rubber Gecko bar tape I won’t use anything else. I can get it for $20 at my LBS and under $30 online. Grippy and comfortable.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
For prescription glasses, I got the kapvoe with prescription and photochromic lense. Works like a charm. Only the prescription insert could be a bit bigger. Did you oder the prescription also at the kapvoe store? Are you happy with it? I got a kapvoe at a choice offer recently and I am very happy about the photochromic effect.. I was thinking on using them with the clip to get rid of my contact lenses. December 19, 2023, 03:48:03 PM |

Re: SRAM Rival - 50t or higher rear derailleur options
whats wrong with a GX axs? Probably the fact that OP needs mechanical. The Sensah SRX derailleur is probably your best option without spending too much, but it's still a fair bit of outlay to get not a whole lot extra as far as ratio goes. Alternatively, try the ZTTO 9-46 cassette and a smaller chainring. September 09, 2024, 01:53:14 AM |

Re: SRAM Rival - 50t or higher rear derailleur options
Have you tried using a derailleur extender? I was about to pick up a Garbaruk cage (copy) for my GRX 812 RD, because I was having so-so shifting performance with my ZTTO 9-46t. I remembered I had a Goatlink in a drawer, so installed it. Now shifting is much better (about 85-90% compared to stock), enough so I don't feel the need to buy the Garbaruk cage.

Re: Wheeltop EDS GeX
Did Joe say anything about when the embargo will be lifted? I am very much interested in the Magene groupset. September 26, 2024, 05:27:23 PM |
