Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Tagoola wheel

Check if the front wheel is true still. I got the same issues with KORE wheelset and after investigating the carbon spokes went out of tension and that introduces wheel wobble and like you say extremely unstable at high speed or in wind.

The wheel seems true, but I'll investigate a bit more. If feels more like something aerodynamic, maybe combined with the frame shape/geometry (gravel).

I've had the Cure 24 50mm standard weight for a few weeks now. They are on a gravel bike (for now) and mounted with 30mm Contis.

They look, spin, and ride great at lower speed. I have found they become unstable when going at higher speeds (so mostly going downhill) when there is even a little bit of wind. It's not like a push sideways, more like fast unpredictable twitching in either direction, and I have to keep a firm grip on the bars. First deeper aero wheels for me, but I've never experienced anything like it with my 35mm deep alloy wheels or shallower wheels.

Any feedback from other Cure 24 riders?

Images for reference. Most similar frames have a brace between the seat stays, these don't which seems more elegant.

I'm wondering too, one of the nicer looking frames imo, very clean lines.

Not sure it's the same as the Tideace. The pastel has straight seat stays, and the drop in the drive side chain stay looks larger.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Hongfu/Avenger FM188 ?

Any thoughts on the Hongfu FM188 frame. The geometry works well for me, but I haven't really found anything online about it.

Any general thoughts on the quality of Hongfu frames compared to say Carbonda? I'm also looking at Light Carbon, TanTan, Ican.

The geometry looks great for me (vs the longer 707), but slightly concerned about tire clearance. Anyone running 42c tires?

The product page also says 650x47c will fit. Has anyone tried that?
