I just noticed on geometry chart that they updated the weight. 780 g for 490 size. In a previous chart it was more

what height are you?I'm 170 and I choose 49. My saddle height is 67 cm from BB, so I was in doubt if to go on 460, but I would have to use handlebar spacers. I hope to can use the 490 without any spacer.
Trying to figure out my size for 175cms height.
So you can get one in raw carbon without the logo?I didnt ask about no logo, I mean I opted for standard graphic. They are open to color change and customizations paying for it and with longer times.
I recognize your name from RFD! Lolyes, alibaba directly!
You can purchase the frame directly on Alibaba. They will send an invoice.
Here was mine:
ACE3 Carbon frame Red & orange : US$535/set (extra $20 for the paint color)
Thru axle : US$5
Bottom bracket : US$15
DDP shipping : US$230
Total amount US$785
Production time estimate is around 2 months, and shipping time approx 10-12 business days.
What is the max size wheels you can put on this?700x32 based on specs from producer
The stack seems to be measured to the top of the stem. This is quite normal for chinese manufactured bikes with this type of design. I think the actual stack would be around 20 or 30mm lower, depending on the "thickness" of the stem. And then on top of that will be the rise of the handlebar. But more information from the manufacturer would be helpfull.Seller said is not on the top of the stem. But between stem and fork. So she's asking to engieneer team is it's correct.
I rode an aerogravel for around 1600km chosen to replace my actual ican gra02. Geometry is identical at the exception of the chainstays 425 vs 430 and i used the same components to make a fair comparison.I completely agree with your analysis. Being very stiff it requires a bit of time of adaptation to it especially on rough surfaces and ride confort always lacks. But after a few weeks of adaptations, on downhill light gravel roads (tuscan white roads for example) or even paved I found it great giving a lot of confidence, and it somehow surprised me. Definitely not an all round gravel frame, but good for a specific use.
On static it's a very well done frame, clean internals, quality anodized aluminium headset parts, handlebar is pretty good too, easy routing, i didn't like the tightening system where you need 2 keys. I didn't have any problems with the parts provided.
One color painting had correct/good quality but seems fragile, easy to scratch.
Firstly i rode the VB with the tufos 40 i'm used to.
The frame itself felt a little bit more lively/light under pedaling but global comfort/stiffness is equal, on the stiff/harsh side.
The velobuild fork is beefier and thus really rigid, it was clearly less comfortable than the ican's one.
I have to say i was a bit disapointed, the difference with a nearly 10 years old ican gra02 is marginal and riding on tiny tires is not the best once you leave soft gravel.
Then i briefly rode with mtb tires. The bike is much more capable, smoother at the price of less lively and responsive feeling.
But it's far away from the ability of a real mtb.
I ended on the 50 specialized tracer, which were a good mix between the comfort of mtb tires and the liveliness of gravel tires.
My conclusion is that the aerograv is a responsive bike, it can be fun, but definitely not a refined frame, comfort relies almost only on the wheels/tires choice and to me you need minimum 45mm tires.
As many mentions it lacks of compliance, sometimes hitting hard stuff at speed makes you worrying about losing some theeths, fork really shakes you...
Despite the low price, for these reasons, i didn't fall in love with the aerograv, i probably just recommend it if you like really stiff bikes or ride soft gravel terrains.
What's the logic here exactly? If one company cannot make a good power meter I'll use an inferior one on purpose instead of getting one that works. You people baffle me.The logic is to save money. Till my resources will be limitated I have to deal with this logic. I have also Favero Assioma RS pedals, and Im training good the same with a less accurate power meter. There's lot of overthinking about it.
I rode years without it, if sometimes reading could be a bit lower or higher than real I dont think is a big issue that will destroy my training plan...
