Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
I haven’t tried yet. Just using an old Garmin 530. Went on a 100k group ride yesterday. Not the fastest group but did a lot of gear changes. Mostly an endurance ride for me. The EDS performed pretty well for the most part. I did encounter two issues that I’m going to address this week. 1: When I shift in the middle gears of the cassette there is some “noise/clicking” when I shift down. Its almost like it doesn’t settle into the gear. However, if I shift past it and then back up it goes away. I’m going to play with micro adjust feature and see if I can’t fix it. 2: At about the 80-85k mark the group started surging on a hill. I was in the middle of the pack and shifted to maintain my cadence and match the group’s speed. There was a loud metallic “pop” in the back. I was shifting under load but not putting down crazy power. I sounded like it came from the cassette. Now real change in how it was functioning but I was concerned enough that I pulled off the group and rode in with a much smaller group the last 15k. It shifted fine the rest of the way but I need to inspect the cassette and chainring for any broken teeth. FWIW, all the components are brand new. I’m hoping it was just a skipped gear or something.

Re: SL8 Replica Build
Not sure if anyone has found a 600 gram frame, plenty of 800 gram frames though. normally they will use the smallest raw carbon frame to get the lightest possible weight. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006471937256.html?pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%21US%20%24700.00%21US%20%24693.50%21%21%21700.00%21693.50%21%402136637917175611260674463e67a9%2112000037318982788%21sh%21US%21239339037%21&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allItems_or_groupList.new_all_items_2007599312830.1005006471937256&gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.hotSpots_2009574406236.0 I have purchased a frameset from this store, a painted size 56 painted frame weighs 900g.

Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion
I just ordered a pair of wheels from peter with the following specs: How much did you pay for them? Not sure why pricing on these is so opaque. October 07, 2024, 06:13:10 AM |

Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion
I recently came across this post when searching for some gravel wheels and decided to email Peter. Gave him an idea of what I wanted and he emailed me back within a few days with some different options for a custom build. Went with the 40mm deep 26mm inner and 34mm outer, model no. CS-D40CU-33 built with house hubs (ratchet style), 24 Sapim cx-ray spokes and Shimano freehub. Went with no holes in the rim bed for easy tubeless setup and was looking for a sub 1400 gram wheelset. Within about 10 days I received pics of the hoops along with their weight, and within 14 days received pics of the final build along with actual weight of 1349 grams. Received the wheels about 2 weeks later so about a month from the initial order being placed. Setup went easy and I really put them through hell last week on a gravel ride in Vermont and they're still spinning true. Very happy with the purchase and communication from Peter throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?
C'mon Mr.Lino, just hurry up and order one so you can tell us how it compares to a real SL8... I bet it's just gnawing away at you. Pretty soon you won't be able to think about anything else
