Re: DT 240EXP hub clones Goldix, Venfort
Hi, why not ZTTO M1? I got the set one season and as far it looks OK. Little less weight than DT350.

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
been using mostly aliexpress clothes for the past 4y so could say a bit about some brands.. I always try looking for those better ones, because the cheapest are trash after some months :/ Rion I had good experience years ago, but the newest stuff didn't had the chance to test yet... Darevie I have 3 bibs, 2 jerseys, and a baselayer. All are great quality, the fabric is good and comfortable, the padding is good too, at least the models I have. This blue bib from them is really great, fit well and comfortable, it's beautiful also so gotta say one of my favorites. Been curious about this one too and got it, the 'X straps' and the partially sewed chamois got my attention, but gotta say I didn't find too different from the traditional bibs From Ykywbike I have a lot of stuff, bibs, jerseys, windproof long sleeve, socks, arm and leg warmers, gloves, thermal bib.. first, they upped their game a lot in the last 1-2yrs, I had some of the old stuff and the quality difference is very clear. But still the prices nowadays are good, although higher than before This bib with a thicker chamois and this one with Elastic Interface are my favorites, the fabric is really comfortable I almost don't feel it, had 6-7h rides with them and all good too, a lot of use (1,5yrs weekly use) and still look like new this new summer jersey is a good example of the quality improvement, I compare it with my 2y old jerseys from them and it's like a different brand, better fabric, better finishing. also got some stuff from Spexcel, their jerseys are really high quality too, nice fabric, different colors from other chinese brands, got this purple, green and a beige one, all really good the bibs I got one back in 2019 and wasn't a good experience, one of the cheapest with gel padding and in less then 1y I couldn't use it anymore. I've been really curious about their latest launchings, the bibs look nice and seem to have a longer thigh length, but I've already got too many clothes lol This is something that the other brands are lacking, the thigh is a bit short on most, after riding a bit when the bib 'settles in' it looks a bit short.. hope they start launching some longer ones in the future also, something that I've learnt is that many times the cheapest items from each brand are not worth, you can spend a bit more but get much more quality with the mid-top products on these brands the same considering the whole offer of clothing.. like I mentioned in the beginning, those 'replica' jerseys and bibs, and the likes of X-Tiger and other brands that are really cheap, I don't have personal experience but a lot of friends got it and it becomes trash really quick. also worth mentioning, my references are some brazillian brands, which although we have good stuff here, are too expensive and the chinese products are same or better for a lower price.

Re: RYET carbon MTB wheels/hubs
...experience with the RYET carbon MTB wheel/hub builds. Hubs any good, rims break etc, overall quality...I like the 33mm XC carbon rims themselves and own 2 sets. I would caution you using their in house carbon hubs, front has been fine, but on rear I was able to separate the bond between the carbon and alloy portions, and the main bearings are undersized, same bearings normally found in freehubs on better grade hubs. I wore out 3 brake side bearings in about 8K km on a 1Kw mid drive ebike, ran hard and fast offroad. I used that same rim on a wheel built with a Ztto M1 with 36t ratchet freehub, laced up with DT Swiss stainless steel straight pull spokes and copper nipples. I loved that wheel so much that I ordered a pair of the same Ryet 33mm asymmetric rims only, same M1 hubs and spokes for my wife's ebike. June 15, 2023, 11:47:12 PM |

Re: RYET carbon MTB wheels/hubs
Was tempted to get a set of wheels with the Ryet hubs. Really competitive price, but was leery of the new in house hub. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
