The free hub noise is a bit louder and cruder than I’d like. It also has a bit of an oscillation, I suspect from the free hub not being entirely concentric. Overall minor details
Recently I heard a genuine DT 180 hubs and it had similar oscillating noise. Since then I've slept my nights peacefully.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / 650b wheelset options
« on: September 23, 2025, 02:39:17 PM »
Hello! Does anyone have recommendations for deep 650b wheelsets at affordable price? Not too much in the market and the deepest I could find is only 45mm deep. I'm planning these for a funny project bike with an option of using them later on with some proper gravel frame.

These boxy tubes would fit perfectly small compartment for spares. It's 100% on my list for future frames.

Maybe you've seen it, but a fellow forum member shared some experiences with the sub-100usd frame here:

Wow thanks! I had missed this thread. Looks decent. Comes with all the bits and pieces. I just need to transfer current parts over and make sure threads and holes are clean before that. Shipping time is my only worry, heh. Would be ready only next season.

I would reframe the search, honestly.
I guess you're right. Maybe aiming for the absolute cheapest does not make sense - but cheapest frame that would actually work as a banger bike?

I'm thinking of this one. How bad can it be? PM brakes are a plus as that's what I have in the bin.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Absolute cheapest Chiner frame
« on: June 30, 2025, 07:22:44 AM »
Hello!

I'm looking for the absolute cheapest Chiner disc frame delivered to Europe, inc. taxes and shipping. Can be alu or carbon. Preferences would be all-road / gravel clearance and normal endurance geometry. Otherwise not really much requirements - I'm planning to mash up a parts bin special to replace a cracked aluminum frame as a first road bike for someone.

Any recommendations?

SMF is very nice. Maybe just update to the newest version to avoid borken pages? I like it here.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Fast/race-ish Gravel Bike wanted
« on: June 03, 2025, 07:26:26 AM »
What is even a fast bike? Second place of 2025 Unbound 200 mile was "won" with a BMC URS, their adventure bike rather than BMC Kaius, their gravel race bike. Unless you know what you're doing and aiming for budget build you'd expect to spend about 2000 - 3000 euro for a nice gravel bike with electric shifting. Building the bike by yourself is relatively easy - you don't need any degree to work at a bike shop - you just need plenty of tools that can be quite expensive, patience and willingness to learn.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Gravel build - which parts you usually DON'T get from China for good reason?

Chain. Why ride fakes or dubious quality for such an integral part? Genuine chains are not too expensive.

Cool frame! I would transfer my current Di2 drop bar Ultegra/XTR setup to this one. It's currently on a hard tail MTB making my gravel build.

Just a few small pieces to go apart from the last hurdle: The wheels. Upcoming sale is gonna help settle that part of the bike, finally.
You could order the wheelset custom painted from one of the popular suppliers here. Maybe use same or different chameleon paint to contrast them from the frame? Anything can be done. Just depends on how many krone you want to spend!

This is beautiful! Last year I was drooling on the Stijn Peg 2.0 minivelo. Do you have any pictures of it folded? Does the drop bar interfere with foldability? How is the handling and does the geometry work? Peg is designed to be road minivelo and allegedly rides very well!
