And here I thought they were mad at you...

Wish someone would clone the new zero offset post.

The issue with the computer mount isn't that the bolt backs out, its that the leverage of the computer on the mount eventually pulls the threaded insert out of the bars. Its common with the faux Roval bars (and some of the real ones) and honestly some others (like the Bontrager clones). I just put glue on the faceplate of the computer mount and then bolted it on...while the mount is likely no longer removable, it greatly reduces or eliminates the mount and computer falling onto the road during a ride.

Re the fork, make sure your thru axle is tight enough - the spec is pretty high like 15nm.

The computer mount sucks, even on the genuine article. Given that I'll likely never remove it, I used crazy glue on mine in addition to the bolt to spread the load.

The seatpost clamp has been discussed, you're not the first. I changed out mine to ti barrel nuts and bolts.

Just found that the Magene PES charging cable also works for the Wheeltop group, and seems to have a slightly better hold than the original cable. Handy if you happen to have one lying around, or need a spare.

I think they're reasonably generic-my older Sigeyi cable works fine as well.

Openly T700 frame, 8.5kg build, random ass wheels, random ass tyres, mechanical shifting with full integration.
It's ""cheap"", assuming shipping is indeed included, but it's far from a no brainer.
If you buy OEM and know what parts to pick, you can get close-ish (you ll spend a bit more), but it will be better. Very different work / time / sweat equity involved though.

Yeah, but they're not after our market. They're building out an actual dealer network in the US where joe consumer can walk in and buy a complete bike with pretty good performance from his standpoint for 2/3's to 1/2 of what the majors charge, and have a real bike shop to support it, along with warranty service. They'll clean up.

New firmware updates for all parts today. There's also mention of a v2 app that allows fine tuning of the position for each derailleur (hopefully that means live fine-tuning, as that's probably the biggest setup issue with the groupset currently). The v2 app doesn't seem to be available yet but I will do the firmware updates once it is.

EDIT: Did all the updates. Right shifter firmware reset the settings on it (so you'll have to configure buttons again). The new app is available and FINALLY ALLOWS FOR LIVE FINE-TUNING!!! Better late than never. Shifter firmware updates apparently now increase battery life, and the RD ANT+ profile has been updated related to the battery settings - hopefully that now means it shows low battery at a lower battery percentage (rather than the 50% it was before).

Thanks. Live fine tuning is cool. I'm afraid of updates but will install...

Anyone tried this one?


I just found this on AliExpress:  | Cheji Men's Pro Team Aero Roadsuit Road
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLIYrmn

Nice, but no pockets. I like this one  https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-cheji-aero-suit.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.auto_suggest.3.1071SFZHSFZHH7 but want it in something other than black...

You can already buy Sp-Cycle 0 offset Seatpost for R088 for around 60€ on AliExpress

I believe those use the old "Richey" style clamp that the original sl8 zero used. I don't want that. The sl9 zero uses the same style clamp as the 15 and has the same aero profile.

Post 2125 in the x68 thread.
They're calling it the new x68.
Obvious sl9 clone but t47.
Hopefully we'll be able to get the zero posts somewhere for our x68's-I want the new style but would never spend the crazy S brand $$

The X68 is back - now resembling the SL9.

T47? Odd choice...

I replayed your video four times and it does look like only the BB is moving.  If you are seeing movement in the BB housing area you might want to send them another video showing it.

The only way a bb would rock like that is if the sleeve was moving and/or the threads were shot...

You can contact them, but they're not actively selling the frame any longer, so I'd doubt they'd want to sell you a fork.

I really want to try the Cheji roadsuit with the aero sleeves and mesh pits, but its only available in black. Why make a summer suit only in black?

Anyone tried these Rujixu carbon wheels with the "dragon scale" texture?
Came across this set on AliExpress — looks like an attempt to mimic Scope's textured wheel finish, though the execution seems pretty rough compared to the original
Wheels are 23mm internal and 30mm external, not bad for the new wider wheels standard. Also, not cheap wheels as far as Aliexpress goes
Has anyone here actually ordered a set? Curious about build quality, weight, and whether the texture holds up (or just looks bad up close).

Reach out to Serenade...they have a similar wheel (its not on their site), similar price, good reviews

My x68 isn't going anywhere. If I had a gen sl8 there'd be no reason to upspend for the 9. The only real improvement is the seatpost.
