Component Deals & Selection / Re: chinese carbon saddles
« on: November 10, 2025, 03:19:13 PM »
Has anybody checked their Ryet saddle to see if the saddle rails are straight? I received my RT03 saddle the other day, and noticed straight away that they seemed a bit off. I used a spirit level to check and I was correct, so have returned for a refund. A shame as it looks like an amazing saddle for the price
Yes, same with K29S model. Returned the first one, ordered a second one in faith it would be better, but it's the same. A pity, because I really wanted it. They are way off, surprised people don't notice.

I just want to share my experience with edge 50 rim brake wheelset.

This was my first pair of carbon rim brake wheels.
On paper and in reviews all seemed great.
First impression after unboxing - also great.

But a serious issue of these wheels is the brake surface.
Normally, carbon wheels have a treated layer of resin on the brake track, but on elitewheels you brake directly on the UD carbon.
The grooved brake track destroys softer pads (black prince) like a cheese grater.
On the other hand the harder pads (campy red) destroy the brake track, slowly ripping carbon fibers out of the surface.
You can't win.

It just sucks that the grooves on my front wheel are already practically gone in half a season despite of little use and me being a light rider.
