I've had good success with the stone 2x, they were quite noisy initially but have bedded in well, waxed chain seems to help

thanks, hadn't found the Stone 2x previously but have now, they look quite good! glad I asked here :)

Currently using a Stone 1x 110bcd 4s oval chainring on my xcadey xpower s 110bcd 4s powermeter using a force flattop chain. I’m Considering a 2x setup for longer rides in the summer using the same force flattop chain. So far i can only find Pass Quest axs option and carbon ti and i think Rotor do an option.  Are there any other options? Thought it would be a more popular setup but most options are 1x narrowwide only. I’m expecting i will probably need to go back to round rings

Has anyone purchased these aero bars to mount on a road bike? Trying to find a more cost effective method than Deda bracket used on the Deda Jet bars as €160 feels very expensive, have added a photo. I had planned to use my profile design bracket from my existing aero bars, but the angled adapter also worked out very expensive to have custom machined. @winowsports any plans to produce something similar?

I received my wheelset a few weeks ago, communication was good but i agree the aliexpress payment method is awkward as i had to pay tax on a the top up payment. Quality seems good and tubeless setup was very simple, loving 25mm internal width with 32c tyres

would say potentially too small, do scott have a size guide for the spark? would start running out of seatpost

sorry, yes its a 19" yes its tricky to say for sure, all i know is if i go for smaller frame the seatpost ends up over max! i use the lizard skin downtube skin, or effetto do a 3mm thick helitape which i have used in the past, lizard skin stuff looks better though

I'm 6ft but really long legs and shorter arms, i use a 80mm stem, doesn't feel cramp. My main issue with the frame is i can't add air to the trunnion shock without partly removing it from the frame, i see this has been amended on later frames, but know good for me! rides well but isn't as pedal efficient as my pivot 429 but its much lighter and slacker head angle

nice to see they have resolved the rear shock access, i have to remove the shock to access the shrader valve on my fox trunnion shock, which is a nuisance to say the least!

29er / Trifox TL-CFM-S01 full Suss (New American eagle Flow)
« on: February 06, 2019, 06:39:52 AM »
I'm a little out of touch with the chinese open mould scene, had a Hongfu hardtail for many years but then picked up a few Pivot frames through a race team. I'm interested in replacing the Pivot Full suss as its just so heavy, 2650gram with hardware. I race 4, 6, 12, 24hour events mostly, with a few stage races when I can

The Trifox frame came up on aliexpress, and then looks like American eagle have picked it up as their new full suss, review https://www.fiets.nl/2019/01/30/nieuw-gezien-american-eagle-flow/

Anyone have any knowledge about them? the geometry suggest they are very slack? which is good and bad, not just a spark copy?

Looks good, what are the axles like? are they're replaced with a lighter option from carbon-ti or similar?
