Just an update on my Zen wheelset.  Had bike serviced and they checked on the SR270 (which are H Works) hubs and they said they looked incredible. Zero dust and needed nothing but to be closed back up.

Wheels have been incredible so far! Closing in on 3000 miles on them.

Hi there,

I'm building a lightweight rim brake bike, and I'm having a hard time finding good options for lightweight carbon wheels with good reviews.

I’m looking for a wheelset with a rim depth of at least 50 mm, steel spokes, and a low weight—ideally under 1,300 grams. I’ve seen the Superteam model, but I’m looking for more options with documented reviews.

If you have any recommendations to share—within a reasonable budget—I'd love to hear them! Thanks in advance

I have two sets of ZEN wheels and one is rim brake set. Mine is the heavier version for 130kg system max weight limit so you can get lighter depending on your weight. Mine came in at 1550g They were not built to be light but I love them. My disk rim set if much light at 1280g. Pic is below

What have your all in costs been, and to what region?
I'm finding it hard to stomach the prices shown on Ali for these groups.

Purchased both during sales with coupons.

105 mechanical was $485 usd all in
Di2 Ultegra was $1030 all in with no chainrings. Price on the 8170 system does seem to be up about $150 or so.

All of this was to Southern USA. 

I have bought from Anranceee and DG Riding buying complete 105 Mechanical and Ultegra 8150 Di2 groupset.   Zero issue with either.

Looking at the available color schemes for the VRT model, it seems they’ve opted for the new XMCS logo that @Requiem84 had already predicted... in my opinion, the one seen on the black-and-white version posted on their site looks much better.

Here is what I did to that base scheme.

Anyone have geometry chart they can post. Not having any luck finding it.
TIA

Hello everyone, quick question:

Is it possible to mount a P505 power meter on a Teo crankset?

My plan is to move my Lexon crankset with the Xcadey power meter to another bike, which currently has a Magene P505 alloy crankset.

I was told yes by Magene. 

Just finished my build. Colours didn’t match my order (royal blue and matt carbon) and the extra cage bolt on the downtube was added above the original two instead of below per my request, but it looks great and rides really nice, got to be happy with it for what they charge!

Coming from a 2023 Supersix Evo gen3 (which I loved except for the bars were a bit low - steerer was already cut when I bought it 2nd hand, compares very well so far. I wanted a higher stack and longer front centre, the bottom bracket with Elilee carbon cranks are super stiff (I opted for no storage compartment), so I will probably use this bike for both racing and endurance rides and sell the SSEvo.

58/XL size frame weighed about 1070g, bars 320g, fork 440g before cutting steerer, total build ready to ride at 7.55kg, right about where I wanted to end up.

Looks cool and to hear you also have SSE is interesting. How does the stiffness compare to your Cannondale overall if you don’t mind?
