Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Endurance style Framesets with longer head tubes ?
« on: June 06, 2024, 02:49:09 PM »
Currently ride a Cube attain pro GTC in a 53 , 537mm top tube ,which in that size has a 152mm headtube, Looking around at most frames , the head tubes in my size are a lot shorter, around the 125-130mm mark. Looking at some of the bigger brands like Bianchi and Pinarello, they do similar endurance frame sets with 150mm head tubes in my size , so question is, is there any Chinese company's that do endurance style frame sets with longer head tubes etc ... cheers for any info

Very Nice ... How are the brakes ? ... im waiting on my set to finish my build which uses a sensah groupset as well :) ... Although I did manage to get hold of a carbonda 696 frame for less than £400 so that's what I'm waiting to build :)

Was inline for same frame as well until Planet X , knocked £500 off their freerangers frames, so gone with one of those (Carbonda 696) for less than £400 :)

I wouldnt be too happy with the outcome on the forks, pretty poor showing by the company ... Lets just piss off the new customer, not once but twice ! Kinda puts me off ordering from the smaller Chinese companies , ... Good luck with getting it sorted

Looks a lovely frame :) ... Did originally order a Ti sonder Camino , but after waiting months , they cancelled my order as they had complete bikes to build rather than sell me a frameset id paid for etc months ago !!
 may look closer into the Ti market

Just came across this YouTube video for their headset installation for VB-R-099& VB-R-168& GF-002, could be some use as details aren't the best on the net
Could be of some help

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Chasing wind-GT20 OR Airwolf YFR045 carbon Gravel frames , any experience ?
« on: January 15, 2022, 06:42:34 AM »
Looking at both the above carbon Gravel frames , they look to be exactly the same frame , anyone with any experience of either frame ? .... geometry etc the same both frames .
Only thing I'm concerned about is the cable entry points as all it shows is a small plate on downtube with 2 cable entry points
anyone got pictures of said frames showing all built up and entry points etc

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Suitable gravel 1x chainset ?
« on: January 15, 2022, 06:27:29 AM »
Apart from the obvious Shimano GRX chain sets, What's out there with similar Q factor etc to GRX but not GRX ?
I've come across these on AliExpress but no mention of Q factor etc ... I'm guessing its something to do with Sensah ?
