I was planning to build a bike for this frame for my wife but the problem is they dont tell you which sizes for the heigh tod the person?what is the size for between 5 '5 to 5'7?Flyxii dont have the size measurement for height suggested.
I'm noticing the big alloy cog on my ZRace 9-46t isn't very durable. Even from light use, the teeth appear to wear quickly. It defeats the purpose of using such a cassette since climbing is the reason to have such low gearing. In comparison, I'm also using a Sunrace 10-46t and the alloy big cogs are far more durable. The teeth are thicker as well.
Are there any other cassettes worth checking out within a reasonable price range? Thanks!
I am not sure if others have seen this same change. Starting about a month ago, Aliexpress no longer displays shipping updates for me after the package leaves customs and Aliexpress only states "Your package arrived at local Facility." Now, I see a USPS tracking number posted. When I put the number into USPS tracking, USPS posts only one detail for the package's location, plus an estimated arrival date. It reads "In transit", and a "Distribution Center" location that is usually 3-4 days old.
Appears that details are lacking on both sides. If appears to me that Aliexpress has changed the estimated delivery time from 12 days to 15 for most of my packages. (I was getting a lot of $1 off late delivery coupons.)
On the China side of things, it takes usually 3 days to get my Items into customs. It is the USA side it is now a super slow 12 to 15 days. Sure seems to me that China kicks USA's butt regarding delivery time and efficiency, and USPS is really slow these days. (Last year for about a month I was receiving packages in about 8 days, now it is back up to 12+ days. )
Awesome, thanks. How long have you've been using it for?
May have to place an order for one next week.
Has anyone had any issues with loose arms that other users have reported? The new updated pre-loaded screws look promising, but I'd like to confirm with other users here.
I have the opportunity to get this for $400 CAD (incl shipping), which is very, very enticing considering how expensive powermeters are. But the loose arm reports are discouraging.
You going to be using it for winter riding, salty roads?
I have doing that, and that seems maybe to be the issue, defently does not help the cause.
Seems to be a popular frame on here, so would be interesting to see if someon else had the similar problem
The hydraulic shifters have also been updated so that the thumb lever only shifts one cog at a time.
I have an older R9 hydraulic set where the thumb lever can do shift multiple gears, but the R9 hydraulic set that I bought recently can only do one at a time.
The logo on the larger shift paddle is different on the two versions.
Shooting a bottle if anyone happens to have a thinkrider trainer and an elite direto/turno:
Are these adapters from thinkrider https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008093201503.html
the same as the elite ones? or compatible? https://www.bike24.com/p2402067.html
Hello, I have the following crank already that I intended to use as a 1x on my gravel bike:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807293043843.html
... but for one reason and another I never got around to putting it on that bike. Now, there's a tempting price on a 2x chainring with the same bolt pattern, and I'm interested in putting it on one of my road bikes specifically for low-range climbing:

Can anyone advise me on whether or not I would need a different crank to put this chainring on, because it was (maybe) meant for a 1x chainring instead of a 2x chainring? Or is all of that sorted out in the design of the chainring so that it fits the crank regardless? Any help there would be appreciated, thanks!
