Asking $120 + shipping from California. Payment via Paypal G&S only.

Selling a Spcycle HB-068 Full Carbon Integrated Handlebar. This is an aero-style bar designed for gravel or road use. Comparable to Trifox/Winspace integrated bars.

Fitment Note: While the technical stem length is 110mm, due to the backsweep of the tops, the effective stem length feels closer to 95mm. Please take this into account for your bike fit.

Cable Routing Options: These bars are versatile. Cables run internally through the bar and can either:
Exit before the stem: For standard setups where cables route around the headset.
Run fully internal: Through the stem/headset for modern fully integrated frames.

Specs:
Width: 420mm (Center-to-Center)
Reach: 69mm
Drop: 116mm
Stem: 110mm (Nominal) / ~95mm (Effective)
Stem Angle: 6 Degree
Material: Full Carbon Fiber (Matte Finish)
Fork Size: 28.6mm (1 1/8")
Weight: 428g w/ computer mount

What’s Included:
Carbon Garmin Computer Mount: (As pictured).
Headset Adapters: Top covers/transition spacers for both Standard IS42 (1-1/8") and Oversized IS52 (1.5") upper bearings.
Full Spacer Kit: 2x 20mm, 4x 10mm, 2x 5mm (Split/interlocking style).
Compression Rings: Two sizes included (7.0 and 7.5).

Pick up in Corte Madera or can ship at buyer's expense.

PSA to anyone ordering the integrated bars with their frameset: The "reach" measurement is from the end of the bars not the bar stem clamp area and due to back sweep the actual reach is like 15mm less or only 55mm, not the 69mm advertised. I learned that the hard way. Who wants handlebars with such a short reach?

Balugoe has some new components! As usual, I've been happy with a lot of their components. They're up there with the likes of Elita One when it comes to carbon bars, stems, etc.

Carbon stem with full integrated spacers:

$70 for a stem with "lenght" printed on it :/

Finally received my gravel wheelset yesterday. Paid Sept 12 so took about 6 weeks, much longer than expected. They shipped them with a Shimano freehub when I ordered XDR so they still need to send me an XDR freehub. Fortunately the hubs are compatible with DT350 freehubs of which I already have one I can use in the mean time. I also asked if the rims came with drain holes, was told they they did but they arrived without them. They landed at exactly the spec weight and appear true by my eye. Still need to mount them so haven't ridden them.

Specs:
SR315 hubs (315g/pair)
TAR30s Rims flyweight 3K Glossy (24mm internal, 30mm external, 370g, 24H/24H)
Laced 2X on all sides
Brass nipples
Pillar 1423 spokes
1380g total
$532 shipped to US

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Handlebars like Zipp XPLR 70
« on: October 18, 2025, 12:45:37 PM »
Looking for a carbon handlebar with a similar profile as the Zipp XPLR 70 with just a small amount of flare/out sweep that makes the drops about 50mm wider than the hoods. Most gravel bars I find on AliExpress have a lot of flarem

SPCycle probably sells the best headset cover due to the waterproof gasket port. I'm using the same one on my R088 frameset.

Thanks for sharing! I did see that one just after my post. Helpful to hear you've had a good experience with it. I have a. Electronic groupset so I assume I can just find some 5mm plugs for the unused holes?

Did you ever find a solution here? I have a Spcycle G058 frame that came with a handlebar that I want to replace and because the frame doesn't have hose/cable ports I need to run them through the headset. I'd like to use a non integrated stem/handlebar and thus looking for a headset cover with 2 brake hose ports. The upper headset bearings are 52mm OD x 40mm ID, 45x45 deg, 7mm height

I don't know, the schematic drawing on the linked page makes it pretty clear how they measure the 69mm. Still, 69mm is pretty short already!
That said, getting a full reimbursement for a return on ali usually isn't a problem for me...just return it?

I mean it's drawn pretty clearly how it's measured, not their fault you didn't look at the description.

Hmm interesting that you interpret the drawing like that. In my opinion the 69mm dimension is between two lines neither of which are the centerline of the bar end (which is drawn and shown for the back sweep angle measurement).

Component Deals & Selection / Spcycle Dropbar Reach Definition Dispute
« on: October 10, 2025, 03:39:52 PM »
I bought a frameset with these dropbars with the expectation/understanding the bars had a 69mm reach. After mounting and noticing they felt very short, I found out from Spcycle that the "69mm reach" is defined/measured from the end of the bar, not from the center of the stem clamp area. Due to 5 deg backsweep, the bar goes backwards ~15mm before going forward 69mm resulting in an actual/effective reach of ~54mm which is really short.

I think the product was mislabeled/advertised and I'm owed a free exchange or refund. What do you guys think?

Appreciate your feedback.

DT made flat star ratchet works but not the chinese made ones. I broken multiple different brand 36t star ratchets from ali just by doing casual riding. Bought a black 60 teeth ratchet on a sale and it broke after 2.2km. Current goldix ratchet is holding up nice, 1600 ish km and only bit of damage to some teeth. In the meantime the meshing ratchets are in stock for 42€. EDIT: typos and km.

Hmm very surprised to hear that. I don't have experience yet with Ali hubs but I would think they're pretty close to DT in durability. Anyone else have issues?

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Chinese cycling clothes

Can folks recommend jerseys that have very minimal branding/logos and don't have any silly text like "keep cycling keep moving". I just want something minimal. Thanks!

is that 14 days from order date? Not bad, if so.

It's been 14 days since my order date and I can't even get an estimated ship date. Wendy just keeps telling me she'll "let me know if/when there is an update"... ::)

Here are some photos of my G058's integrated bars (from SPCycle, note the backsweep on the tops). They're 420mm wide with a 110mm stem. Frame is chameleon blue glossy.

That's optimistic.

I am 27 days, with no confirmation of shipping for a standard set of wheels on your website.

My first order with you went really well.

This order is not so great and Marya is not being good at providing honest answers to manage expectations.

Edit: Shipping information now received.

Wow thanks for sharing your experience. Yea I think we could really benefit with more proactive and clear communication around production.

Hello

For rims that are not in stock, production usually takes 10-15 working days, and after shipping, it takes 8 days to transport by FedEx. Taxes include.

That's very helpful thanks.
