Re: Ali express disc brake pads, recommendations
Kingstop - sintered or ceramic pads. Used them on Magura, Shimano, and SRAM calipers with no issues. Such stop. Much wow.

Re: Recommendations needed on carbon fork cutting tool
I ended up buying and using the ZTTO cutting tool guide, i ended up taking the bike to the LBS for an unrelated issue and he complimented me on the cut, put some tape at the point i was cutting and sprayed some water and off I went with the fine toothed saw that I bought from Bunnings. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005612202642.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.130.52561802ECkxBE February 14, 2024, 06:27:20 PM |

Re: chinese rear gravel derailleur compatibility
Sorry for not answering the question but why not just go Shimano? The RDs are pretty cheap nowadays with all the discounts going on and if you're spending for Shimano shifters you may as well get the full experience.

Re: chinese rear gravel derailleur compatibility
An L-Twoo GR9 derailleur on its own is pretty much the same price as a Shimano GRX 812, and the Shimano is much better.

Re: chinese rear gravel derailleur compatibility
You can make this mod to the GRX 11s derailleur by using an XT cage to make it shift an 11-51 Shimano 11s MTB cassette: February 26, 2024, 05:46:38 AM |

Re: chinese rear gravel derailleur compatibility
Hello, I am considering to build a low cost 1x11 gravel from open mold frame.If you don't need a giant cassette, there is no reason to go for a Chinese derailleur. They will be a (huge) step backwards compared to Sram / Shimano. Just look for used parts if you want to save some money. February 26, 2024, 06:44:14 AM |

Makes sense, you also have the option of modding GRX810. Crap. If I had known about this, I probably wouldn't have gone with Ltwoo. Its not terrible, but having mainstream parts anyone can work on is a plus. February 26, 2024, 09:54:07 AM |

Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame
Hello, I am considering this frame (from Spcycle or Velobuild) and have some question about integrated headset.I bought mine from ceccotti, no issues with the headset during assembly and everything feels ok on the garage floor, still some (winter) time until I can do a proper shakedown ride.

Re: Spcycle New Mold G056 Carbon Gravel Frame
Are you running electronic or mechanical groupset? Just wondering how it is to run 4 housing through the headtube/headsetI'm running a 11speed di2, so just two hydraulic hoses and a di2 wire through the integrated handlebar and headset. I did a mechanical 105 for a friend on a similar headset/stem, routing and cutting was a PITA and the tight bends affected the shift performance. Maybe going with external routing on handlebar & headset in combination with the external headset shim/adapter improves routing? February 26, 2024, 04:03:44 PM |
