Cool, good to hear that it'll work  ;)

I'm using an Apex XPLR AXS rear derailleur with an 11-46 generic cassette (from one of the Amazon resellers with random letters for their name, lol) with a 46t chainring, so basically your exact setup. It works perfectly fine with a 105 12 speed chain.

I doubt a 50t cassette would work - the largest sprocket would physically fit, but the derailleur doesn't have that much capacity to take up the chain, so it would either be way too tight in the 50t or way too slack in the 11t.

I'll have HG hub so 11-46t. I'll have 46t crankset so no big deal with that 11t  ;D

KMC X12


You can also use the 10-45 Shimano Cassette (Deore/XT/XTR) if your wheelset support Mircospline Hub.
Just to have the 10t sprocket.

I currently run 11-46 Sunshine with Rival XPLR 12speed.

It works...The derailleur can manage more than 46t.

Now i wish it could support 11-32 cassette for the flats  ;D

Hi,

have any of you tested electronic Apex XPLR AXS 12s rear derailleur with 11-46t Goldix or Sunshine Cassette from Aliexpress? Wondering if it will work. I saw some tests with 50t cassette but it was garage test, not in the terrain.
I can't find any replacement for 11-44 XPLR 12s cassette and this one costs over 100$...

Why would you even take a chance on this when you can get proven quality from manufacturers such as Scicon for pretty much the same? They are 50% offers all the time. Or look at used market.

What a pointless argument that is — you could say the same thing about almost anything. Why buy Chinese wheels when you can get proven quality from DT Swiss or Zipp?

In reality, there’s almost a 50% price gap here. The Aerocomfort 3.0 is currently around €550 (-10%), which is about the lowest I’ve seen it lately, while the ThinkRider with coupons comes in at ~€260. That’s a significant difference.

I’m not saying I’ll jump on it right away, but I’m curious about the quality and what the actual differences are. Maybe they just copied Scicon, maybe they even improved on some aspects — who knows, it could be a solid option at a much lower price.

Hi,

does any of you have the ThinkRider Travel Bag? It's very similar to the Scicon Aerocomfort Bag. I'm wondering how much of a difference is there in terms of quality and level o protection?

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame
« on: September 25, 2025, 02:21:35 AM »
Hi guys,

does anyone have a comparison between this frame and BXT-135. I'm planning to build new gravel soon and wondering if there's difference in quality between those two.
Velobuild frame looks a little bit better and can fit wider tyre. Price is similar so just wondering how it is in terms of quality.
