I have the LV4 on two bikes. Radial levers and 4 piston calipers. I am extremely happy with both.

Tiris has made two custom bars for me. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2261800225982000.html The only downside is max rise is about 25mm and max backsweep is 7 degrees. For me it isn't a problem because I wanted 3 degree rise and 6 back.

It is the same grade of Ti that Roost uses.

Any suggestion ?

These are my default flat pedal recommendation.

One of the biggest sales (typically). What did you get? What things had prices increased over the last few weeks, so it isn't really saving anything with the "sale" price?

I have a set arriving in a couple of days, will report back

How did the crankset work out?

Kingstop ceramic (orange) or metallic (gold). The full on metallic have great bite with my Lewis brakes.

It looks like the levers have several changes, including an olive free fitting. I can't tell if there were any caliper end changes.

Senicx Gr2 has done well on my gravel bike for several years. Trace Velo speaks highly of them as well.

New 203mm rotors - similar to Galfer Shark. 2.25mm thick. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806793007966.html

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809035110300.html - the Evosid version - ~ $100 USD

The Alugear cranks https://alugear.com/cranks/434-22613-crankset-stellar-al-mtb-standard-qf-168mm.html#/27-color-silver/1339-length-160 $409 USD

Evosid did the 5Dev crank versions last year. Now it looks like the Alugear style. Alugear's website has different Q factors on the cranks, which the Evosid lack. Evosid is 3 bolt SRAM style chainring while Alu has 8 bolt. I haven't tried a set but am interested to hear experiences with them.

I ended up with a different set of hubs https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807596410875.html

Basically, a hope style milling on the body with the DT 90t Dex size ratchet assembly.

I had bought a set of the rings from Risk. They seemed like an interesting alternative/cover for tape. I laid them out on the workbench when starting assembly of everything on the handlebars. Then I saw them on the bench right as I finished wrapping the second side.

Interesting hubs - 90t ratchets similar to the new DT 240 DEG hubs but a shell design that looks more like Hope. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807613354245.html

As most of you know, the 11.11 sale is one of the biggest of the year. Vendors also have a history of increasing prices in advance - just like US retailers for Black Friday. What is in your cart waiting on the sale?

I have a set of NGEbut hubs (i9 hydra clones) that show as $158 today with a price drop to $136 on Nov 1st. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806584091583.html Now to see if it drops even more.
