Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Tagoola wheel
« on: August 24, 2026, 08:00:51 AM »
Received my new tagoola xplr wheelset today.
Everything seemed flawless until when i was to apply rim tape and saw this line with exposed fibers, I am no carbon expert but i have taped many carbon rims and never saw something like this.
Contacted tagoola, waiting for the answer. New Bike Day without carbon wheels for me

Use *any* chain compatible with your cassette and chainring.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Upgrading to Carbon Wheelset from Lightweight Alloy
« on: August 06, 2026, 01:22:17 AM »
I did the switch from 1500grams DT swiss road wheelset, to a similar weight DT hub + asian carbon rim.
It's not only the weight, you upgrade to a material that is better suited for a wheel that doesnt use rim brakes, ride quality is better and you get the option to go as wide or deep as you want without a noticeable weight penalty. It s a good opportunity for 23+ internal width.
Asian hubs are good these says, i ride some serenade and elitewheels ratchet hubs and feel similar to DT, they are smooth and reliable, i have been riding the elites for 3-4 years, and serenade wheels around 7k km.

« on: August 04, 2026, 01:20:59 PM »There should be a hole on a side of the rim, between nipples level and the rim tape level. It serves the purpose of releasing the pressure buildup from a tire in the otherwise enclosed space.
I dont think it's relevant in this situación when using latex tubes, those holes are useful to avoid spoke nipple corrosion and for tubeless safety, a non tubeless tyre and innertube are "open" through valve stem and leaky tire.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Carbon Cranksets for 30mm Axle and Cinch?
« on: August 03, 2026, 01:14:53 PM »Fantastic! I hadn't thought of this option. I will consider this. Aliexpress sells the adapters for a lot less than other online stores.
I still would like to see if anyone posts a 30mm based carbon crankset
Tolerances on metal on metal for 30mm axles are terrible on non Chinese brands, the spacer to dub will mitigate this.

« on: August 03, 2026, 01:11:46 PM »I need more than "I think so". I have to buy the wheels to try my theory. If it doesn't work.. I have a problem
Text them on aliexpress, european seller doesn't sell microspline for some wells, but if you ask they send you the link to buy the freewheel from Asia.

Gex in race mode (+sleep función) with 12 speed shimano cassette is really fast. I find it faster than my road 12s shifts(dura ace+ultegra parts)

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Mondince FM356 61mm tire clearance
« on: July 08, 2026, 06:27:24 AM »To each their own, but I’d be surprised if even 5% of the people on this forum are actually looking for a really low-stack bike. I’m not even sure what a low stack is all that beneficial for anymore. It used to be considered the more aero option, but that doesn’t seem to be the case these days. Just look at modern TT bikes. A lot of them have 100+ mm of spacers under the aero bars because that’s where riders are finding the best mix of comfort, power, and aerodynamics. Looking through the FM336 build thread, it also seems like a lot of people are running quite a few spacers under the stem anyway. To me, that says many riders are trying to get to a taller front end regardless. This frame clears 61 mm tires, which is 2.4 inches. This bike was designed for adventure riding and long days in the saddle, not an ultra-aggressive race position. Personally, I like that they gave it a taller stack. It lets more people get the fit they want without stacking a bunch of spacers under the stem, and I think it ends up looking cleaner too. I’d actually love to see more bikes go in this direction because I think they match how most people really ride.Low stack feels more responsible, wrong bike fit set me to a ridiculous stack height, lowering it a couple of cm and turning around the stem made the bike feel much more nimble.
For the kind of bike this mondince is the stack height seems adequate, you can always run it with no spacers and negative stem angle.

I bought a set and returned it, on the nondrive side chris king top hats fit snugly, the drive side was loose.
29 and 30mm axles are crazy difficult to find a good fit for bearings, on shimano bb86 BB are too right and on "big hole" frames are extremely loose.

Does Jack already take orders for the frameset or we need to wait?

More agile steering is a bonus for me, i will probably buy both forks. I dont know if toe overlap would be an issue for my in a bigger sized frame, my feet arent particularly big.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Reliable Chinese 1x Gravel Groupset...does it exist?
« on: June 17, 2026, 04:59:04 PM »I two wheeltop 1x systems. One is their GeX to run on my road bike as a 1x setup. used for 1800 miles. the other is a OX 2.0 mountain rear derailleur, used for about 1000 miles. Both worked perfectly without issues. I tried the race option but it drained the battery too fast without much gain. So I am using the regular setting.
What they impressed me the most are the cost and the battery life. battery last a few hundred miles so I only charge them once every few months. Never got stranded.
Another big selling point is that they can work with any cassettes 7 speeds to 14 speeds so it is a big plus for me cause I have many bike parts lying around. I just rigged up a "gravel bike" using an old mountain bike frame and 11 speed cassette to use with the OX 2.0. Neither Shimano nor SRAM could do this.
The race mode changes 2 settings, faster shiftning + always on. Using a web app there is an hybrid mode that shifts faster but goes to standby when not used, so battery drain is good

You can also save the presets for differents cassetes and save them locally. It makes the groupset much better

« on: June 17, 2026, 04:38:14 PM »I’m not sure when it will be on AliExpress but it will be available in all sizes in 20 days + or -. I ordered a size 58 and that was the last size they were making and that is the time frame I was given.
Jack told me today that it will be released in 45 days, thats august
