Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Elitewheels Edge wheelset

The Edge hubs are not authentic DT Swiss. They are replicas which use the DT star ratchet design. They are actually lighter than the 350 and weigh like the 240. I have them on my MTB Pro33 and Pro36 wheels and they are proven hubs and super easy to maintain.

If you have a chance to get a brand new roval alpinist cl ii at the price of elite edge wheelset? Will u go with alpinist or still go with elite edge?

Rovals are 1375g and the Elite are 1344g. For slightly less weight you get a deeper 50mm rim with the Elite vs. the 33mm Rovals.

Does anyone have experience with the Aliexpress Elitewheels Edge Gravel? They come in either 35 or 45 depth. Both weigh almost the same. Considering the 35mm.

How efficient is the Epic Evo clone suspension compared to the Giant Anthem Maestro?

Currently running the 2021 Anthem 29 and considering a carbon FS china bike.

29er / Using full cable housing internally
« on: March 12, 2020, 09:15:57 AM »
Can someone please share the procedure of routing the internal cable frame ends to route a full housing for the rear shifter cable for the CS-057 frame?

Could you please post detailed info on how you router full shifter housing internally? My 057 has shifting issues and would like to run full housing internally.  Thanks.

Have two rides on my CS-057.  It feels a little stiffer than my previous LTK-023. I do like the slacker front end and overall the bike seems more flickable and more playful. Probably due to the slightly shorter chainstay.

Overall I really like the frame and think it's a great bargain.

It's crazy how some HT frames cost $2000 and sometimes even more than that.

I received my CS-057 today.

I opted not to order the 142mm axle and ordered a DT Swiss one instead.

The drive side dropout doesn't have any threads for the DT Swiss axle to thread through. 

Am I missing something?

I researched before I ordered the frame but with these Chiner frames things can be different or change from frame to frame.

Some claim there's built in internal housing and some can route entire housing through the frame. Will have to wait and see. I prefer to route my own housing so I can change it when it wears out.

Peter provides excellent service. Looking forward to getting the frame.

Still curious how different it will ride from my 4 year old LTK023 frame.

Is the housing built inside the frame compressionleas?

I'm asking because I'm looking for optimal shifting performance.

Hello,

I just placed an order for the CS-057 frame.   I currently have the LTK-023 frame and got the CS-057 since I like the geometry a little better. It's slacker, higher BB and short chainstay.

How are the 057 frames regarded overall? 

Are they considered stiff? 

How's the durability? 

What's the best way to run the rear derailleur housing wire?
