Yes, it is a bug. You can search it on YouTube :
TT-X68 inner wall shows precision cutting and high-strength carbon cloth stacking

It seems made extremely well..
I really hope it is the same producer of Taiwaneisen that I ordered.

let's think a minute about worst case scenarios here. some cringe poser joins your group ride with an slfake. That day, it's tempo day, you're going 45kmh in a peloton, he takes a pothole, his frame self destructs, and he causes a crash for himself and others. to be honest, I would finish him off with my own fists.
we havent had reports of frames self destructing for years on this forum, those are horror stories of velobuild frames from many years ago. Now that weight is all the rage again, i really dont want to ride in pelotons with people on super light & unsafe frames. My open mould is a tank.
That is a problem.

Same risk if you ride in a normal amateur peloton made of bikes of 4-5 years, maybe entry level, with no-manteinance etc.
Or do you ask to the cyclists you follow/cycle with if their bike is “safe” ?
I get your intention and I partially agree but, at the end, I think that anyone can buy the bike they want, fake SL8 included

normally they will use the smallest raw carbon frame to get the lightest possible weight.

I have purchased a frameset from this store, a painted size 56 painted frame weighs 900g.


Hi
I am going to buy extactly the same frame (same color, same size).
How is the coupling of the headset / fork / handlebar ? From the picture it seems quite good.

Did you buy also the handlebar from Peter ?
Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Wow, thank you!
How much do they weight ?
Would you suggest to use also for gravel (not extreme) ?
Tks

Hi
I am looking for a chinese road wheelset (or just rim), with 23mm internal width.
Ideally 50mm profile, as much light as possible.
I cannot find any factory or seller among our “used” preferred channels.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.

My last " Monstergravel"
SP-M05
7,8 kg in size "L"

Great build, very similar to my dream bike:
Black layout, no logo, oval chainring, Continental tyres.. top!

Where did you buy the rigid fork ?
Thanks.

My comment was not aimed to compare a full-customizable bike with Canyon.
I am just saying that building a chinese bike spending more than 1K Usd or Euro just for the frame, could cost more than buying a well-equipped Canyon CF SLX.
Bross frame is one of these cases, imho.

I think the new Canyon CFL SX with Sram Rival Axs will kill most of our aero chinese combinations:
we cannot do better with 4.300€

Very nice!
Reach and stack a bit short but it is the only eastern front suspended frame with 67 head angle and 75 seat.
62mm bb drop is also fine.

Any opinion of this frame of lexon?

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGv7XJD

Design seems BMC Twostroke “inspired” but geometries are a bit “old school” - see head angle and seat angle while bb drop is very very low - if the numbers are correct.

Interesting the headset 52/52.

In few words, a mix of old and new.

Component Deals & Selection / Chinese MTB XC carbon rims
« on: November 05, 2022, 02:24:41 PM »
Hi All
I am looking for carbon rims for mtb.

They must be:
- very light (xc/marathon use)
- asymmetrical
- internal width 27-28mm
- hookless
- tubeless ready

Any positive referral on some of the chinese vendor ?
Thank you!

Weight includes the rear shock, Rock Shox Delux Select+ which should weight around 350gr.

BTW Lexon might have some issues in terms of patent:
It is really too similar to Scott, I wouldn’t be surprised if they will be forced to stop the production.
If not, I will buy one!  ;D
