Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201
« on: August 07, 2025, 06:02:10 AM »
While browsing around online, I came across this bike, in one of the pics you can even see the pouch with “Tideace” written on it.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: SROAD lightweight cassettes
« on: July 30, 2025, 03:28:51 AM »Sunrace isn't sexy or super light, but they're hard to beat for value and performance. Got sunrace on all by bikes. They just work. No faffing around.I live in Italy, and the price for the Deore cassette is basically the same here. I currently have a Deore cassette on my bike, but I need a second one for the turbo trainer. Since the Sunrace is about 150g lighter than the Deore, I was thinking of buying it, putting the Sunrace on the bike, and moving the Deore to the trainer. (I know the 150g don’t really make a difference).
That said, I see Deore 11-42 on ebay for $40 if you're in the US. Cheaper than I can find on Ali.

Nice build! If this frame had internal storage, it would’ve been perfect. I think it looks way better than the GR201.

So I have the new Gravel wheels in the link with 32mm internal width on order at the moment, seems they are still ramping up prodcution so the time until shipment is longer than usual. Ordered them during the summer sales and they where around 480 US$ including shipping to Switzerland. They come with a 50T ratchet system vs. the 36T I have currently in use.
Will report once they arrrive.

Wow that was a steal!! I'm in the market for a set of carbon wheels and i'd have bought them immediately at that price.

After The Ride / Re: Are AliEx/open mold carbon bikes common in your area?
« on: September 26, 2023, 08:02:00 AM »
Not quite common but i've seen two "microbrands" selling gravel bikes with Carbonda/SpCycle frames, nothing wrong with this, the problem is they're labelling them as "Made in Italy"

Little updates after some months of usage,
i can confirm the quality of this Darevie's jersey, i'll probably buy another one of the next season.
This bib from Spexcel, instead, is not convincing me completely, i mean it's really good looking and practical with all the pockets but i wouldn't use it for 3+ hours ride. (while its marketed for 7 hours ones)

Good to know, i'd have bet the frame would cost more, like €1,000 incl. shipping

The stitching is flawless on both, I cannot fault them. Great quality.

« on: June 26, 2023, 08:43:32 AM »Long term review on my Spexcel cargo bibs. They chamois is garbage. Ok for shorter rides, but can't really find a comfortable spot on the saddle. Fine with my other bibs or shorts. The jersey that came with the set is actually really good though.
The LuBi bib I have is actually pretty good. Used it on long gravel rides and it works well for me.

Question. Anyone tried any kind of sun sleeves from Aliexpress. Don't want to have to bathe in sunblock for every ride in the summer.
Which pair of Spexcel are you talking about?
Today i've received the Darevie jersey, for 15€ it seems pretty good, i'm 180x76kg and the XXL fits me perfectly (i don't like super tight jersey).

I was looking for a pair of cargo bib, after reading some positive feed i've bought a pair of Spexcel cargo bib. I've only ridden them for some 2.5 hours rides but they're performing as good as my other European pair (Montura with Elastic interface chamois).
