Component Deals & Selection / T47 bottom bracket 86mm for shimano
« on: August 14, 2026, 02:01:06 PM »
Hi guys, I need some help. When I built my Long Teng GV201, I used a ZTTO T47 bottom bracket, but it only lasted a year.
​Does anyone have suggestions for a good T47 bottom bracket that won't break the bank?
​Thanks!

Sticking to well-known brands, this one should be for you https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009131311699.html

Hi, thanks for the reply. I already own that YKYWBIKE vest and it's a great product, but I’m looking for something with long sleeves

I think that's the model I have, for which I paid 14 euro last year. I'm happy with it. Good list of features, fits well enough, really can't fault it for what I want it to do.

Doesn't look bad! I had also seen another jacket from RION

Hey everyone, any recommendations for a windproof jacket? I'm looking for a relaxed fit and a budget of about €20-30.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Help me, ltwoo r9 brake
« on: March 29, 2026, 09:17:35 AM »
Hi guys, I need your help. I’m currently changing the handlebar and stem on my GV201 gravel bike. While disconnecting the brakes to redo the internal routing, I noticed that my current setup uses olives and inserts with O-rings (as seen in my photo).



 However, the LTWOO tutorial shows them without O-rings.
​Before buying replacements, I did some research and everyone told me they should be like the ones in the tutorial—without the O-ring.
​What should I do? Which ones are the correct ones? If I do need the version with the O-ring, where can I find them? I can't find them in stock on AliExpress, and I’m not sure what keywords to use to find them on Amazon Italy.
​Thanks!

This one is my favorite. I especially like that it comes in 34cm width, though it comes in wider sizes if you prefer.  ;)

Just ordered this! I'll let you know once it's here. Thanks all!

Hey guys, any recommendations for a solid carbon gravel bar? I'm not worried about internal cable routing

Never buy ZTTO cassettes. This is the result after only 40km.

I considered using pedal spacers, but they only partially solve the problem. The main issue is that the crank arm passes very close to the front derailleur when it's in the longest gear.

Hey guys, I need some advice from you. On my GV201, I used a Senicx PR3 2x crankset with a 30-46t chainring setup, but the problem is it has a Q-factor of 151mm. I need a wider Q-factor. Do you have any ideas for something that costs about the same as the Senicx and is just as well-made?
