Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc! Was thinking about starting a guide on how to get the best deals including different checkouts, coins, AE discount codes, store discounts, and events.

Send the order email yesterday to them for the '18, Size 50 - availability from October! Decals/paint is extra. -> The mail was also from Wendy in the evening, seem's they are quite busy!
I might go there again on Sunday to confirm paint-job, ask about price levels for paint-jobs and check out the version with compartment. Also will ask about the compartment door - the Carbonda had one with integrated pump + minitools.

Here the price info from her mail:

Please note, the frame is not aero gravel, it's aero all-road bike frame LCR018-D, max tire 38C,
if you want bigger tire, change the frame to LCG074-D which max tire 50C,
Geo data of LCR018 and handlebar HBR17 as below link

Re: Lightcarbon: LCR018-D (endurance all-road) @JimLee

Is there a bigger weight difference between the model with and model without down tube storage?

Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM) Can anybody take some pictures of the front derailleur and the tire clearance with some wider tires?
I plan to build my LightCarbon LCR018-D frame with some Aero+ Elitewheels with 30mm outside rim width and maybe 32 or 35mm tires.

As far as i saw few pictures and review videos, there is not sooo much clearance to the front derailleur :(

Re: [Help needed] New build project - simple on a budget! Here's my recommendations.

- not many frames these days with round seat posts or non internal cable routing. I'd suggest compromising on those things to ensure that the rest of the build is overall as you want it
- ditch all the 9 speed kit and go straight to 11 or 12 speed. Might as well go straight to 12 because the initial cost isn't much more than 11
- if you want easy maintenance, go hydraulic disc brakes. They're dead easy to set up, bleed, and you only have to do it once every 12-24 months. Heaps of good YouTube videos out there on it. Mechanical disc brakes are more fiddly, brake worse, and often don't work well with fully internal setups.
- there's not really such a thing as 'most reliable'. We have very limited sample sizes here. Most of them are good, most of the time - you just have to hope you don't end up with a dud.

- frame: Cecotti RF33 or SPCycle R088 or Velobuild VB-R177 ($500-600 USD) - the Velobuild uses a round post so that's something in its favour.
- groupset: L-Twoo RX 12 speed ($150 USD) or if you can stump up the extra, the new L-Twoo ER9 ($350 USD) or just jump straight to 105 Di2 ($600 USD) (but you'll need to stretch the budget)
- crank: Riro Racer R9 ($45 USD)
- bottom bracket: whatever fits for the Shimano crank ($20 USD)
- cassette: Zrace 12 speed ($30 USD)
- chain: Shimano M6100 ($20 USD - buy locally to avoid fakes)
- wheels: Tagoola ($350 USD)
- saddle: whatever you like off AliExpress ($15 USD, or $40 for 3D printed)
- stem/bars: kalloy stem ($10-20 USD) + Kocevlo carbon bars ($35 USD) if not going fully internal
- tyres: Continental Grand Prix TR 32mm ($25 USD x 2), or 30mm if you go with the Velobuild

Key thing with AliExpress is to wait for sales periods, stack with coupons and use cashback offers.

If the max is 55-42 for a 2x setup, shouldnt the max for a 1x be closer to 50-54? Unless you want a super narrow chainline.

I am now also a bit concerned that XPLR 10-46 and 1x 48t aero chainring won't work?

I simply like the very simple setup as showed in this video: https://youtu.be/GLp07aFTnWY?si=_uhQCuyl_-Wn9Rcc

Hi guys, they have this new rim in stock. What do you think abou itt? I'd like to run it on a road setup. I'm thinking 32 mm Wide Tire. What is unusual for me is that the widest point of the rim is not near the bead but in a lower point. Does that make sense from aero perspective? Rim attached.

Many vendors on Ali now selling this rims. I've bought it from IT TO store as I had best communication with them. Goldix 240sl and pillar spokes 45/50mm 1319g and am amazed how good they are. Mounted 32 veloflex corsa.

Interesting to see your guys inseam and height and that you went for a 54.
I went for a 56 (180/85) based on the geometry of my gravel bike and what I feel comfortable with.
The 54 I rode previously was just too uncomfortable after only short rides

Interesting indeed. It’s why hight is a totally irrelevant measurement for determining frame size.
I’m 178-87 and will be buying a 52 with a 38-110 bar.  ( I’m also shit at converting Inches to cm 😂 )

My last three bike fits also confirm this is the best fit for my needs. I could also get a 54 but then the the stack is too high, plus the bars have 8mm of rise.
