So looking on the Cooma store page, and their pink pads, which model do I need for my Shimano ultegra and 105 disk brakes (link please). Would love to give these a go.

I was a long fan of the pink Cooma, I switched to the orange Kingstop on all my bikes

They may wear a little faster, but are way more silent and provide a softer with more modulation grip

Hi all,

Simple question about nipple quality. Going to be building a wheel soon and was wondering if nipple quality matters? I'm considering getting a bunch of cheap anodised nips, but am also wondering if I just splurge and get Pillars.

The reason for being a tightarse is I'm reusing spokes and nips (I know, I know) though wouldn't mind adding some colour. I'm too soft to ride in the wet so I'm not fussed about corrosion

Any recommendations on sellers for nips (or spokes for that matter)?

I just unmounted my very first Lightbicycle wheelset (Lefty/Hope hubs) with Pilar spokes and nipples.
To convert them to a new e-gravel.
These wheels saw everything you could imagine, rain, mud, snow, salt, sweat(probably ), in 10+ years of usage, nipples and spokes were still fine and easy to unmount.

...the Vero bars ...

I didn't know them, and they look lighter !
Thanks for the information.

What are some recommendations for some high quality Chinese integrated bars?

These are the ones I install in general, because so far they are the stiffest and lightest I could find.

Gravel: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004788375665.html (LEXON)
MTB: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005611032673.html (FIRE SPIDER the premium brand of Tooseek)

You can see both shops as well, they have other items.

Hi, I'm looking for an integrated handlebar, full idden cable, size 420x130.
The frame where I would mount has 1"1/2 headset.
Any suggestions?

I installed a few of these: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005939677279.html
Road and gravel (flared)

Did you consider the UDH standard (Universal Derailleur Hanger) ?
From my understanding of the drawing it doesn't look like to be.
And it is a good option to find easy replacement or eventually going with the new SRAM derailleurs.

This is probably not going to be a popular opinion on this forum, but I would buy a used Quarq

As a counterpoint, my first road Quarq suddenly started gifting me about 500W average power on my rides... unfortunately, just two months after the two-year warranty expired.

SRAM support was very kind and offered me a replacement. I only had to pay for the GPX to DUB conversion (my choice).
Meanwhile, both my XCADEY on the MTB and the Quarq on my gravel bike have been running strong for years, despite frequent mud plastering.

The takeaway: all devices are probably reliable, but bad luck can strike sometimes. A confirmed reliable user support is key.
