I pre-ordered L. Was originally supposed to be ready July. Repeated delays followed by an 'expected' (the 'usual suspects' plus Workswell, Miracle, Winowsports, Yishun, and even the new Lexon Flyer).

That’s true but at some point you need to select amongst the most affordable and reliable in post sales so Carbonda, light carbon and spcycle remains the only viable options for me

I pre-ordered this frame but ended up cancelling due to delays. I would recommend anyone considering it check stock before ordering.

What size did you order? They told me L is coming by October but M is available, it’s also on Ali

Carbondale frame are a bit out of my reach.


For which frame?

Been using this Mixed saddle on my gravel bike. Its taken some hits on rough roads and is holding up nicely.

I also have the 7D but after 10 months it is flexing too much on the center  :-\

I guess I'm primarily a bargain hunter, so at that pricepoint why not just get shimano or sram rotors? Are these ultra weightweenie rotors?

Definitely too expensive, at the price lever of those we can get ashima's or galfer's , as well as Shimano even if not so light but hey it's a Shimano

I don't think they are heavier. A little more expensive, but I must say I have also been thinking of going that route

I have a set of Velosa MTB wheels, with their own replica of a DT350. On the front i replaced bearings almost immediately.on the rear I put original DT ratchet because the one installed jumped over its teeth continuously, after 1 year i noticed the cassette was not straight when rotating, but an oscillating phenomenon was hurting gear shifts. Eventually i replaced the hub with the real one....but of course this is just my experience i guess novatec is far better than these replicas

I bought an original dt350 CL boost and it weights 219 grams, SRAM XD . Are you sure there's extra weight compared to D412?

At this point there's no more weight difference with the 936 isn't?

Finished building. It's a few hairs under 26lbs (11.79kg).

That's great, what size is it? Any trouble with cable routing?

Sales & Classifieds / SOLD - Onirii M2 full set
« on: December 22, 2022, 02:03:20 AM »
hi all
I got a pair of Onirii M2 , color titanium, front and rear set complete, unused, never installed, filled wit oil, pads included.
I bought them from Ali but in the meanwhile I was able to fix my current brake set (cura), now I don't want to have them covered by dust in my garage.
so if anyone is interested I can ship to EU countries with a reasonable shipping cost.

75€ + shipping (this could be 15, 20, 30€ depends on the courier and distance).

thanks!

Yes, the LCFS918 ?

58
for the 2-POT version we said Shimano pads G04/05 should be ok right?
any other model?

trifox has always been too expensive in my opinion, and nobody understands why.

I would not get into the weights discussions for these OEM frames, last Scott spark frame of 2023 with HMX-SL carbon is declared for 1870grams with Ammo and Hardware!
the slightly less precious HMX is given from 1990grams which is impressive as well. so what's actually the purpose of this discussion? if you like the clone just take it but don't expect it's the real thing...
