Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Elitewheels warranty over AliX

Did anyone had some recent warranty claim over a wheel set bought from AliX?

Same boat here. They initially refused to honor the 3-year warranty.

Keep insisting and don’t take “no” for an answer. That’s what I did, and they eventually partially honored it (they’ve supposedly shipped the replacement parts, but I haven’t received them yet).

After a very long wait… it’s finally happening 👀🚴‍♂️

I've seen some not so good reviews on those pedals and cassette (durability/creaks/finicky setup). You set on them?

Bought a full bike from QuickBikes in Ultegra Di2 + R50c wheels. Let’s see how it turns out. It should arrive in about 3-4 weeks to EU.

Size M, 140 mm stem, 38 cm handlebar.

My spreadsheet puts it at ~7.5 kg with Ultegra Di2.

I might make a few changes to bring it down to ~7.2 kg. Still a bit undecided about the powermeter since I did not want to throw a chunk of money into the build

Got the bike finished. I'll upgrade stuff during the next months to get it down in weight and maybe add a bit of bling, so it's ready for any possible spring races. If I go for complete upgrade package I should be able to shave a bit more than 1 kg and get close to 7.0 kg.

For the RD I'm thinking of trying some asymmetric pulley wheels to get them closer to the cassette and see if I can get ZTTO (or maybe Goldix) cassette to work - maybe the people having issues running SRAM could try that as well.

Current wheel set is Nextie 45mm with 29mm internal width and 40mm max width. Continental GP TR 32mm measures 35mm and tyre and the rim clears with about 2-3mm clearance at the chain stay so probably around the widest one can fit without big risk of either rim or tyre hitting the frame at the chain stays.

Nice build congrats on getting it finished !
Quick questions if you don’t mind:
1. What handlebar/cockpit are you running right now?
2. Where do you think your biggest weight savings will come from (cassette/chainch/saddle, etc.)?
