I contacted the Goldix store about my R180 Ultra ratchet failure and am pleased to report they are going to send me a new hub. Curious to see if the hub has evolved since I bought it late August 2025

Sad to report failure of my Goldix 180 ultra rear hub. The racket teeth failed, unfortunately while doing the Triple Bypass. I’m 72 kg and my bike is 5.8 kg. I’m 67 and not exactly a watt monster. For example my 1 hour power PR was set that day at 181. I’ve reached out to the Goldix official store however I haven’t heard back (it was a Saturday night so not surprising) I hope they can send me some new rackets preferably an updated design that is more robust

Enve released their new ultra wide gravel rims which come close to what you were describing albeit with premium price tag. Carbonal also has some rims similar in profile, with 35/36mm internal width and up to 60mm deep for a fraction of the price

I’ve used the ZTTO 12 speed ULT cassettes on a couple of road bikes without issues. One of them is used when I’m at work and generally is treated poorly, meaning it never gets cleaner is runs in a very hot/humid environment that quickly corrodes the chain at which time I just add some more oil to the chain. Despite that abuse it continues to work well with my Wheeltop EDS TX group set.

I built a wheel set using carbon spokes from AliExpress from the Carbon Spoke Hub factory store. I live near a ski area and haven’t have a chance to ride them extensively yet, maybe 200 miles of climbing/descending. Pretty easy to build up. I got their thinnest spokes with titanium ends and they can be laced up to standard straight pull hubs. They ship with a tool that keeps the spoke from twisting when you are tensioning. So far so good

I used spokes from AliExpress Carbon Spoke Hub store, their thinnest which weigh 1.8 grams. The complete wheel set came in at 805 grams

I built up a pair of climbing wheels with them and the Lightbicycle AR25+ rims and some skinny lightweight carbon spokes. I’ve only have ridden about 200 miles on them so far, so early days. I’m pushing the weight limit on these at 77 KG plus the weight of my bike at 5.8 KG. Despite that they have worked well. I’ve done some high speed descents without developing wobbles of vibrations. The thin carbon spokes handle the cross winds much better aw well.

Geometry might be similar to new Ari Shafer v3, however it’s 300 gram heavier and tire clearance is much less as the v3 can clear 2.25” tires

I have had the Sidebike SD-17 shoes for 2 seasons and approximately 6000 miles. I have relatively narrow feet and they have worked well for me. They breath well, are comfortable without hot spots. Boa’s are still working great. Sizing seems to run true to size. It’s stiff enough for me, enough so I can’t detect any give, even when out of the saddle. It’s also holding up very well. I would definitely buy again. No regrets.

So far so good on my Lexon cranks. Weighed 385 grams w/spider. I’ve ridden about 200 miles including some big climbing days. The best thing you can say about cranks it that you haven’t really thought about them since they’ve been installed. Spins easily, stiff and trouble free.

I received my Onirii One frame recently in size XL (56 cm equivalent). I ordered it painted black as they replied it would be the lightest. It weighed 685 grams without derailleur hand or water bottle bolts. The fork was 385 grams which is a bit heavier than advertised. Pictures to follow when I have enough posts to be able to.  I’m waiting for my Avian Canary integrated handlebars to arrive which may be at least a month out since they are 400X130 which is a newly offered longer stem length for them.

Received my Onirii One XL (56 cm equivalent) frame. It weighed 685 grams minus front derailleur hanger and bolts for water bottles. Fork was 382 grams. I would post scale pictures however I guess since I am very new to posting I don’t have that option yet. Interior finish seems well done. I’ll be waiting ( rather impatiently) for my Avian Canary 400X130 integrated handlebars to be made in delivered for the build out. Hopefully pictures to follow
