Took a little more effort to get these speced and ordered. I think the Campy Hub body through an added challenge.

This will be going on a Neo-Retro steal frame.

Anyone heard from Peter recently? I know they just had Eurobike. I've been trying to reach him for about a week now via email, FB and Whatsapp with no response.

Trying to get a wheelset ordered for a Neo-Retro build I'm working on.

I purchased a set of Legit EE G4 used. I haven't installed them yet, so can't speak to performance yet. However, the few people I know with them (about 4-5) all say they are the best rim brakes they've ever used.

EE vs Super Record?

Interesting? Any other options, those bars are a bit more aggressively shaped than I'd want. This bike is a vintage steel frame that is getting a modern build out, so those are a bit to much.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Aero Drop bar options?
« on: November 18, 2025, 03:03:58 AM »
I'm starting a new road bike project and am looking for Aero drop bar options.

This is a modern build on a vintage steel frame and want to keep it NON-Integrated (ie. separate stem)

I already have a set of Aero bars from Light Carbon their HBR05 on an older Ti bike. https://www.lightcarbon.com/full-carbon-aero-road-handlebar_p100.html



While I like these bars, I'm looking at other options that are out there. I also really like the Bontrager bars on my Trek Madone, but those are $$$$. Something that has the step/cut for bar tape to blend smoothly into the aero surface like this would be ideal.

I have a Poseidon and went ahead and threw the eGR on there. Honestly, worth it. Great frame and the groupset has handled more abuse than I would have expected it to. Fingers crossed it can handle a gravel race series coming up near me.

Redwood or X? I didn't want to spend the money for the eGR, but wanted to get Hydraulic brakes, and was looking at Jun Tech 4 pots, but that was the same price as the 12 speed groupset with Hydro.

I just had my chiner carbon seatpost crack on my first gravel ride with it this weekend. Fortunately I made it home. Makes me very hesitant to try a chiner carbon bar for gravel riding.

What model/brand?

I have an 057 Mtn Bike, with rigid fork, bar, seatpost (until I added a dropper) and rims. Have thrashed it on the same trails I ride Full sus or steel hardtail enduro bike and never had an issue.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / LTwoo GRT on the way
« on: November 04, 2024, 12:05:37 AM »
Found the LTwoo GRT 1x12 aluminum groupset (levers, mech, hydros) for under $200us delivered, so had to order it up for a not to distant future gravel bike. Maybe a Poseidon, or something else, shooting for a sub $1200 total cost.

Will update once I have it, then in the future once I find something to install it on.

Just starting to look.

What Gravel bar options are out there in the Chiner world?

11
I was thinking about that option, but I figured I'd still need another wheel. I'm doing a 6 hour TT in November and winds could be an issue, so I don't want to be tied to only the 1 wheel. Or having to figure out how to get the disc cover off mid race....

I pulled the trigger on the LightCarbon with standard 36tooth hub. Also picking up a bar for a different bike. They are saying it can ship in 2 weeks, all total is $810 (including shipping) hopefully no taxes.


12
Didn't notice that spec, but was looking at the Wheel Builder weight, which has it at 1090 vs 1230 for the LightCarbon version.

Another spec is the LightBike max weight 331 vs 265. I'm not close to either, but that 265 would have been close for rider+bike a few months ago.

Hmmmm..

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / TT Disc wheels which brand?
« on: August 27, 2024, 01:20:51 AM »
Shopping for a rear TT wheel and don't want to spend a billion $$ so looking at Chiner Carbon.

I'm no stranger to this market, have an 057 Rigid Mtb and LightBike rims on another bike.

I'm debating between LightBicycle Falcon Entry level for listed $738
https://www.lightbicycle.com/precision-c22d-entry-disc-brake-triathlon-tt-rear-disc-wheel.html

 or LightCarbon with their hub for $529 or DT350 for $770
https://www.lightcarbon.com/lightcarbon-28mm-wide-super-aero-disc-brake-carbon-full-disc-wheel_p204.html

They look about the same,  but claimed weight is about 300grams more for LightCarbon.

29er / Re: New Buyer: CS-057 vs BXT-015

But the CS-887 is 71 degrees head angle, while 057 is 69.5, also less reach, etc.

How is the stiffness between the Canyon and Carbonda?
