Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
This Goldix cassette has my short term seal of approval. It looks to be the same as the Ztto cassette with same torx screwed spider. I picked up this cassette during the anniversary sale and installed it with the ER9 groupset in order to go 12 speed. Shifts have been smooth, it's more quiet than the Spedao/SRoad cassette and it seems to be a true one-piece design. Even the 11t cog is integrated into the cassette block. The Spedao/SRoad cassette I tried had a separate 11t cog. Even though the Spedao cassettes are a bit cheaper at this point, I think this Goldix/Ztto cassette is worth paying slightly extra for. Ztto has them in other colors, but Goldix are only in black. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806211333567.html April 08, 2024, 10:57:31 AM |

First bike build, Carbonda CFR 505 SL
Hi everyone, I am currently sourcing the materials for my first bike build. Now I need a little bit of input, about some of the parts, especially on the frame and handlebar I am planning on using. My current list looks like this: Gravel Bike Parts I am more or less locked on the Carbonda 505 SL framset and the LightBicycle AR46 wheels, I am not 100% sure about anything else yet, some parts more some parts less. My current bike is a Rose Backroad AL Randonneur (2020 edition, size 59). Now I am looking for a slightly more sportiv bike. According to the Rose employee, who sold me the bike back in 2020, I am between a 57 and 59 ( My height is 188cm with ~88-89cm inside leg length. ) and since I was looking for a relaxed commuter bike, he suggested the 59. Here is a comparison of the Rose in 59 and the Carbonda in XL (60 according to their website). Now my questions are as follows:
[EDIT] Edited the bike part list. Getting closer January 16, 2025, 03:19:20 AM |

CWind G30 U build
Hello, After having read this forum here and then several times, I thought I would give back to the community with a post on my most recent build. The idea with this post is to help others get a better idea of what they can expect of this specific frame and/or such a frame/build. Purpose of the build: - something that could get me to/from work fast - relatively comfortable - not full on road aero bike, but not full on city bike either, call it a "fast commuter". Why that frame: - highest stack I could find for the TT length that would suit me (I know it's not as fast as if it were full-on aero slammed down, but my back/wrists/hamstrings won't allow me for the moment with the heavy backpack) - UDH hanger (just in case) - big tire clearance as I want to run big / bigger tires than a road frame would accommodate (including 50mm spikes in the winter) - (most likely) overbuilt for commuting duties since it's a gravel but adds a security margin (I hope) - through the headset cable routing (as much as I would hate that on my enduro and DH rig, I really enjoy it on road builds) - price - could not find anything similar geometry-wise in the western big brands offering Where I bought it: Aliexpress, seller "CWind Bike Store" (912263673) Timeline: - bought 26 march 2025 - shipped about 10-14 days after - received in Norway around 25 april 2025 - build finished end of may Inspection: - the frame was very well protected in a thick cardboard box and all wrapped tight in a good amount of foam roll - all of the needed hardware was present with the frame - the inside of the frame is surprisingly smooth, especially the head and top tube, but the BB area is "a mess" (supposedly because the PU mold they use melts within the frame in this region) and some bolt inserts show loose fiber strands around them - the job paint is medium: all of the borders between painted an unpainted areas a bit approximate; there is also a 2x1cm area on the right chainstay where the paint is badly applied resulting in a darker spot; the flanges of the BB are painted and needed a slight "facing" - heavy hardware: axles are heavy (heavier than on my ICAN Triaero X-Gravel) and the bolts are all quite chunky - a bit of bladder was left in the right seatstay partially obstructing the rear gear cable routing (managed to get it out with a pair of long and thin pliers and a bit of time) - the inside of the steerer tube of the fork was not deburred Build: - groupset: Sram Apex 1x12 non-AXS (second hand) with X01 rear derailleur and 10-50 eagle cassette (re-use from MTB) - cranks: Sram Apex 165mm DUB wide cranks - BB: Sram 85.5 DUB T47 BB (frame states 86.5 but standard 85.5 BB works just fine and still leaves some play to be adjusted with the crank preload collar) - headset/stem: FSA ACR headset and FSA/Vision SMR 110mm stem - handlebars: Prime Primavera carbon aero handlebars in 380mm - seatpost: RaceFace chester 350mm - saddle: Fabric Line S - wheels: Nextie 29" AGX 45mm carbon rims (29mm internal, 40mm external, hooked), Tune ClimbHill/KillHill CL, 28 Sapim CX-Ray - tyres: Schwalbe Pro One Evo Super Race TLE Addix 34-662 (~37mm WAM on the 29mm iw rims) Riding (around 100km so far, good and worn asphalt, manholes, sidewalk edges, cracks, cobbles, big rough stone tiles, tram tracks, some small jumps): - feels robust yet very comfortable (my ICAN X-gravel felt less robust and also harsher) - no rattling, very silent (my ICAN X-gravel was more noisy most likely because of external cables and at speed the wind getting caught in something sounded like a pan flute) - seatpost clamp and compression plug haven't loosened/moved (compression plug was really hard to get right on the ICAN) - feels a touch heavier than the ICAN when lifting it - it is just as fast as the ICAN on DT Swiss GR531 (24mm iw) with GP5000 32mm (~33 WAM) Definitely not flawless nor the best, but fits the bill given the price of the frame (around 450EUR). We'll see if I manage to crack it. I have way more pictures of the inside of the frame than the 8 allowed attachments and I can post in later messages if there's an interest.
