Re: Zrace m1 x4 idraulic disk brakes Got the same ones from IIIpro brand. They work flawlessy. No overheating, plenty of stopping power. Very happy. They use mineral oil. Set-up is pretty simple and brakes come filled and prepped. on this site you can find more topics about them

ok, I read that they work with mineral oil, what type of oil do you use?  overheating problems?  Thank you.

I've bled them a few times with shimano mineral oil.  I regularly do steep 2000ft fire road descents. They have never overheated and fade is detectable but minimal.  These brakes are decent.

Re: Zrace m1 x4 idraulic disk brakes i have one.... the brake has a good power... not compared to shiano 4pot... but more modulation... the calipers uses hope e4 brake pad or shimano m04 brake pads .... shimano par has a more power stopping but less durability in wet conditions...


mineral oil, like shimano... red blood

Re: 12v MTB cassette Not exactly this but MTB cassettes have been a hit or miss for me including 11 speed ones. I think the cog spacing isn't consistent and considering how sensitive 12s is the indexing can be major pain to near impossible. The only Aliexpress cassettes that worked well were (for me) road spec small cassettes in the range of 11-30/32. The Shimano XT 8100 ms 10-51 costs less than this and weighs bit more at 460 grams but I think that is a way better option. On my 11s I eventually went with Deore M5100 cassette and for 12s I got the SLX M7100 and life's good again.

Can you post frame geometry and more details?  Is the chainline 52mm or 55mm?  The website doesnt work very well on my phone I cant see the details but it says UDH rear derailleur hanger?

You can consult them and they will give you a detailed reply.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Hello everyone,

I received the pictures from Wing today and would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread and given me, and I'm sure many others, the chance to learn from the mistakes and tips of you. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to build my own road bike as I'm extremely interested in the mechanical part and not only in this wonderful sport.

Over the last few weeks, I have studied this thread from front to back several times to familiarize myself with the frameset and its peculiarities.

On May 13th the time had come and I sent the first mail to Carbonda.

Just one day later, Wing sent me the price list. I decided on a two-tone glossy color.

Once I had paid, it took a few weeks but today I received the pictures of the painted frame. I am super happy with the color choice and hope that the frame arrives as soon as possible so that I can start building it.

I will keep you up to date when the frame has arrived and the assembly can start

For those of you who are interested I have attached a list of all the parts I have ordered.

Airwolf Madone Hello all,

I've recently completed an AliExpress build focused on a knockoff Madone Gen 7 frame from airwolf. Everything was bought from AliExpress and my rotos(Shimano CL800) and chain(Sram Rival 12 speed) are the only non-chinese parts. Just wanted to share with you guys some thoughts about the buildand, frame and Wheeltop groupset.

The frame: It's very heavy, 1550g for the 58cm. Paint is good but fragile. There's a defect on the front near the logo. The mount hole for head unit on the handlebars isn't threaded for the first 2mm so I can't fit a screw in, unsure what I'm going to do about that. Couldn't center my brake calipers in the rear, had to add 1mm of electrical tape on the left side of the caliper similar to another user here who added nail polish.

The build: Don't attempt unless you're willing to deal with small issues and you have all the tools necessary. The compression plug that came with the fork had some edges that were 2mm too wide. This had to be filed down to fit in the fork. Internal routing on this handlebar is an absolute nightmare even with the cable routing kit I got stuck and almost gave up. Rear caliper is angled slightly wrong after torquing, not centered on the wheel. Another user added nail polish to fix the paint discrepancy, I added some electrical tape.

The groupset: Wheeltop eds TX, haven't ridden it much yet but bleeding this thing is very tedious. Takes multiple passes to get the last little bits of air out. The micro adjustment per cog on the cassette is nice. The shifter buttons have a very far travel before actuation. I've added some filler on the outer edges to prevent the buttons from resting so far out resulting in less travel.

Full list of parts here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19EG7w-PL_o6xKSSonwYg_NhqtS9TUTIpZ4kgHLeZcio/edit?usp=drivesdk

I got lazy and stopped weighing individual parts during the build but the whole thing weighs 18lbs with cages and sealant. With a quality frame it could be dropped to around 16.5 but I'm happy with the result.

Here is an imgur album with the bike, haven't been able to add an image and make the list successfully.
