I did purchase and receive few weeks ago some 50 deep with 26IW with CX ray spokes with R248 hub in UD paintless.
They weight 1250g and feel very light on the bike.
Unfortunately, since I mounted this new wheels I'm experiencing a problem with my front brake (Ultegra 8170Di2 on a Lightcarbon LCR018 frame).
My front brake is sometime making a loud metallic noise while braking (not necessary on strong braking). This never happen before mounting these new wheels.
What is also strange is that it's sporadic : on some ride, I don't have noise for 2 first hours and then it start.
I did few trials to identify the origine of this noise and it seems to be related with the front wheel.
When I put back my old wheel (reinstalling the same disk) I have no problem.
I did try to install a new disk and new pads without solving the issue.
I did also try to use new resin pad (instead of metallic pad) + other disc without resolving the issue.
The disk is tightened with a torquewrench at the right torque (40Nm).
Do any of you experience this issue ?
I don’t really understand what could cause this : do you have an idea ?
I will also continue to try making other test (maybe test them on my other bike).
I'm not feeling vibration while I'm braking but the noise is realy not nice and I'm not confident going downhill with this phenomenon.

I had the same but on farsports wheels. The noise is getting worse the more kms you ride.
Together with my LBS we identified the wheel caps and hubs slightly out of spec causing this. Farsports replaced the wheel caps and it solved the matter.

Had the same with Goldix chainrings. It’s garbage

Exactly, it's what they call a one piece prescription lens. I've been using prescription inserts for over a decade and I will never go back. No more foggy and dirty double lens. The ones from firmoo have vents in the lens which I prefer as it aids clearing the lens from fog, humidity etc.

Yes I do have astigmatism.

Wow. That’s an insane deal then. I bought Julbo „one piece“ prescription cycling glasses for >580 EUR last year due to a lack of equivalent (!) alternatives. They’re fantastic, light, but you can see that the prescription part is actually only in the middle of the glasses, the rest is normal glass (but it’s still only one glass layer, they kinda mold the prescription part and the normal part together I guess). I understand from the shop that sold me these glasses that the reason for this is that if all of the glass would be corrected, it could create distortions especially in the areas further away from your eye when looking through them.

Do you have any such distortions with your model if you’re being honest? Or is the vision always perfect with yours even when you look through the outer parts of the glasses?

I love my julbos, but now I am very curious about the Firmoo offer.

I purchased a pair of kapvoe prescription sunglasses from firmoo for A$155 (US$110) delivered and it's been excellent. The prescription is spot on and there is no distortion. The polarized lens are night and day difference and I'll never go back to non polarized. I liked them so much I purchased another pair.

Just to clarify: this is not a prescription clip-in but the actual glass that has been modified?
Do you have astigmatism?

It looks very Frankenstein, I think the hype in this thread is that, a hype of a small group of people in a thread. Next years Chinese super bikes will blow this out of the park so bad, I wouldn’t want to be a first mover on this copy paste exercise of different frame parts from different brands but weirdly molded together. Sorry for the hurt feelings if it caused any…

Did you guys weight your frames? If so, please provide more details where possible on size, color, incl/excl. metal parts etc.

On the seat tube, would a large 950ml bottle fit on an ER One?

Hi all
It’s still available. I didn’t get notifications anymore for this thread nor PMs, but I wrote back everyone now.

Thanks for putting this together. It's a pity there's not more official rolling resistance data. Ok it's a weird niche, but I'd pay for the data :)

Taicho and Martin, how do your foldies hold up? I'm on the edge between the BXT and the Kabon frame really. I think the BXT looks better, but am undecided. Any insights? I'd use it as a travel road bike to keep in shape with some intervals while abroad mainly

Is this like a vbr 168 / sl7?
