i sanded a little the inner side of the Carbon Post hole where the clamp is installed. and also Carbon paste. i torque to 5.5nm and no sliping already 600km and no slipping.

I've been looking at the new ERX V3 brake calipers. I currently have the previous ones that came with the V3, which require those weird adapters.
I asked 80 Designer Store what the weight difference is between the new ones and the old ones, and they said it's around 70 g.
Has anyone bought the new version of the calipers and been able to compare them?

Also, one question I've been wanting to ask is whether you can use other brake pads, like Galfer pads, with these calipers.

the matte black only requires a light sanding.

Looking forward to more reviews. im waiting for mine to be shipped. Spcycle says it will be shipping tomorrow.

Hi,

I come to you again regarding my experience ordering from Seraph Official Store.

It has not been a pleasant exchange so far and I wanted to untangle the net with the seller but as customer protection and return window is closing, I'm choosing to speak, and see.
I ordered, on the 18 august, the frame in black, 49cm.
As soon as i made the order, asked for "can i change to size 52 and 110 380mm handlebar?" and seller said yes.
Seller also asked to extend shipping time, for production reasons, wich I already did because I know how this works.

on 09/01, he sent me tracking link.

In the meantime, I asked for thru axle size, wich he never really gave me, only products link and "i'll give you later" (why I asked it to Joey)

I received the frame the same day as Joey.

Mounted the bike on the same day. took me around 2 hours to build it properly (no bar tape yet, few adjustments.) took it for a ride and everything felt great (what a beast).

BUT

The handlebars 110-380 (correct size) are so flimsy it's incredible. I push hella watts and this is NOT a viable option, safe too. the GPS mount is so feeble I can see the GPS bending in excess of 1.5cm down when i take speed bumps. That' a real no-no. The D-shaped steer tube is flexy too, so that makes the handlebar bend extremely in the front. I AM SCARED SHITLESS when going fast.

It has something to do with the fact that my position changed and went from ltwoo with great hand retention to Wheeltop, wich has less hand retention.

All of this can be mitigated with the fitting of a new HB wich was always assumed right of the bat.

BUT front tube is NOT the same as factor original (it's thicker) so... this issue is for later tbh



Major issue is:


FRAME'S GOOFY AF

I mean, I'm no stranger to defects on frame and always thought QC was a thing BUT IT IS NOT. Just look at the pictures and laugh at me. I won't even explain how much wheels, driveside change, measurments went up to always get the same conclusion.

Pictures will talk for themselves. Seller thought 30$ refund was safe. I work as a bike mechanic in Decathlon, that's an instant refund.

I'll let you discuss.

Thank you for your reading.

Also I don't recommend buying it, BUT it's perfectly well made inside as well as Joey's, paint is great, everything outside the wheel fit snug, UHD is perfect, T47A assymetric is NEEDED.




for those who don't get it back wheel is sideways

Did you felt any weird ride feel with the Wheel offset like that?. is it noticeable? aside from the handlebar do you notice any other weird feeling?

Im aware of the paint costs, but i dont think tantan can replicate what i want to paint, so im doing it locally.

Here are some references of my idea.

Anyone tried to ride 32c Tires on this frame?
