I'm using a 1x oval chainring and had to adjust the slope from 100% to 97% after comparing the 3-second power readings with my Saris H3+ smart trainer.The Magene is measuring before the drivetrain and the Saris is measuring after it. A small offset would be expected anyway, but what makes you think your trainer is more accurate?
I received mine a couple of days ago. 50mm depth asymmetric gravel rims, ratchet hubs, pillar wing spokes, brass nipples, drain holes, 1380g.
They arrived in perfect condition, complete with rim tape and valves installed and a spoke tension report. I could easily mount tubeless tyres (without any additional tape, compressor etc).
I requested the drain holes and I'm not sure it's a standard offering for them. The holes could be slightly cleaner but hopefully they don't cause any issues.
There was a small amount of grease under the end caps, and red grease on the freehub ratchet rings. On the rear hub the rotor lockring seemed to foul the NDS end cap slightly but the rotor still mounted ok.
After about 130km the freehub is getting slightly louder (it was almost silent to begin with). There was quite a lot of friction from the ratchet to start with, and it is still causing some chain slap when freewheeling over bumps or when I stop pedalling abruptly. I'm hoping this is something that improves as the ratchets wear in.
Overall I'm very happy so far and I wasn't expecting this level of quality for the price.
It was the opposite experience to me. It was easy to deal with them via WhatsApp and order on Aliexpress.Glad to hear you had a positive experience. Have you received the wheels yet?
73deg seatpost is frustrating for those of us with short femurs! The frame looks great, but I need something steeperUnfortunately it's even slacker for the 58! I'm not sure why frame makers do this... A tall rider ends up sitting way back over the rear wheel. Best I can hope for is an inline or forward offset seatpost, but that's not ideal.
That would come down to seatpost itself (carbon layup, wall thickness), considering that circle is one of the stiffer shapes.Ok... But T47 85.5 doesn't do what you're hoping for then
As for bottom bracket standard... Guys, please let BB86 rest in the trash bin where it rightfully belongs, nobody likes running tiny bearings with VASTLY superior DUB cranks.
Has press fit come a long way ? I had a couple Super Six Evos in 2012 and 2014 and the BB sucked bad. They were fine new but needed attention after only a couple years. (creaking) Also - T47 has lots of tool interface on a road BB and even on wider a 86mm bb are fine if careful. Just don't use shit tools/BBs. The only drawback is they don't look that nice.
Now that I think about it I am sure the bb on my C50 and Master are original and they are 20 years old LOL.
The ideal frame+1 for pressfit BB86!
- aero big fat bladed fork and aero headtube
- relaxed geometry like the bike peter posted. So regular people can run a long stem slammed and maintain aero position.
- round seatpost (aero seatpost saves 0 watts)
- 32c/35c tire clearance is fine
- Pressfit BB cause I like to use the Shimano bb
- ACR headset system would be convenient
