Re: Can we migrate this forum to a modern forum? I'm tired of the broken pages.

Sitar_Ned is the forum's administrator. You can reach out to them via PM or email.

I do support the idea. The software is really dated and things break a bit too often for my taste. Not sure how much capacity they have to actively maintain the forum and/or a migration.

Honestly, not much capacity at all. It's just me and I am in no way a web developer or webmaster. Just a simpleton Arkansas mountain biker that somehow figured out how to get this forum up 10 years ago.

I know the broken pages are annoying... and I am sorry about that... I do try to fix them immediately when they pop up so please do let me know.. I really appreciate it. I do have plans to upgrade to the latest SMF version to fix little issues like that but I'm sorry to disappoint anyone but there are no plans to "modernize" the forum in any way. No desire to have some modern mobile-friendly, super slick, dark mode interface. Chinertown will remain old-school looking with zero ads and zero optimizations for Google search. My main goal going forward is to keep AI out of the forum as much as possible. That's just my jam but I do understand if it isn't for everyone.

That said, I am certainly open and interested to hear everyone's input/advice/ideas and really appreciate it.

So many of the ultra budget brands are just doing copy paste Tarmac SL7/8 clones. Probably because it's more affordable to obtain manufacturing molds of these designs?

This is a good move by VeloBuild. Offer some obnoxiously looking aero frame to appeal to the boy racer in us. The design reminds me a lot of the Simplon Pride frame those German crit bros from D3stroy Cycling Club (DCC) use. That frame won 2 of the 3 days at Tulsa Tough. However, the seatpost and fork are different though.

Re: Carbonda 505SL Integrated Stem a 50T oval fits which at it largetst point is equivalent to a 52T. So I assume a 52T round will fit as well.

Re: Carbonda 505SL Integrated Stem likely yes, since shimano road groupsets that can handle 53T without difficulties.

Description:

Stable - At its core, the Elves Eglath ARX has been designed and manufactured using high-modulus Japanese Toray T800 and T1000 carbon fibre, balancing stiffness, compliance, and weight for maximum efficiency during long days in the saddle. The semi-aero tube profile reduces drag where it matters, while maintaining a more forgiving geometry optimised for endurance. The result is a bike that’s as fast on the open road as it is stable on rougher terrain.

Responsive - In true Elves fashion, the Eglath ARX combines race-bred pedigree that’s deeply rooted in our DNA with genuine all-road capability. Its endurance-inspired geometry positions the rider in a more upright position and features a shorter reach and taller stack for enhanced comfort and stability over long distances, while maintaining the precise and highly responsive handling and reactive feel expected from a high-performance chassis.

Versatile - Where the road ends, the Elves Eglath ARX keeps going. With clearance for up to 700x38C tyres, the frame absorbs vibration and irons out mixed terrain without compromising momentum. A robust T47 bottom bracket system enhances drivetrain rigidity for maximising power transfer, combining this with a UDH hanger and the performance of modern disc brakes, the Eglath ARX will deliver the versatility, confidence and control in all weather conditions.

Compatibility - Versatile by Design The Eglath ARX has been designed with complete versatility in mind, giving riders the freedom to build their perfect setup. It’s fully compatible with all modern 11 and 12 speed mechanical, and the latest 11, 12, and 13 speed electronic groupsets. Whether you prefer a 1x or 2x crankset, the Eglath ARX will adapt and comply with your chosen configuration.

Paired with our compact AeroEvo handlebars, the ARX’s fully internal cable routing keeps the aesthetic clean, aerodynamic, and efficient, while maintaining flawless functionality across both wired and wireless systems.

Safety -The Elves Eglath ARX meets EN14766 and ISO 4210-6: 2023 test standards, confirming its compliance with international benchmarks for safety, durability, and structural integrity. Together, these certifications reflect our commitment to delivering structurally optimised performance that riders can trust, wherever the road leads.

Individualism - Created in partnership with DSD, our Hong Kong design studio, and informed by the Pantone selections chosen by our riders globally, the Eglath ARX is available in eight stunning standard colours.

Our design philosophy is rooted in an understanding of what riders truly want, individuality, creativity, and accessibility. That’s why our custom paint programme is open to everyone, celebrating personal choice without the premium price tag.

For weight conscious customers, we also offer a matte black finish, shaving an average of 110 g from each frameset.

Warranty - The Elves design philosophy ensures our products are trusted and well respected within the industry in terms of safety and durability. However, to provide our riders with additional security and peace of mind, Elves bikes offer a 5-year global warranty on our frames and forks, and 2 years on our wheels, handlebars, and saddles.

Accessories - We are delighted to provide complementary accessories, including the rider’s choice of either a BB386 24R Shimano compatible or a BB386 29R SRAM DUB bottom bracket. Further, as standard, Elves Bikes frameset purchases include one of our headsets, three 10 mm integrated handlebar spacers, HPS03 headset spacers, adapters for traditional bars, and a cable routing stem adapter allowing the fitment of standard bars.

Sizing - To support Elves Bikes exponential global growth and expansion into Western markets, the Elves Eglath ARX is available in the following frame sizes, 46 cm, 49 cm, 52 cm, 55 cm, and 58 cm. Please refer to the detailed geometry provided to gain further insight.

Elves Bikes Promise - Together with our valued customers, Elves Bikes are globally transforming the price point for performance. We are committed to creating far greater rider equality through the production of quality products at affordable price points. We do not believe that riders should have to make the difficult choice or compromise between price and quality, at Elves Bikes, we deliver both.

We strive to create inclusive opportunities in everything we do, ensuring that our riders globally can unleash their true cycling potential.
