Using the 'iurl' tag will give you a plain link - I don't know how that compares to Weight Weenies never having posted there but perhaps it's a viable option.

Nylon filled with glass beads is often recommended when stiffness is a concern; JLC offers FS3401GB (Farsoon 3401 glass bead) Nylon in this space (I'm guessing it's similar to HP's glass bead nylon (HP 3D HR PA 12 GB)).

Colorwise it doesn't match most bicycle components though as it's a lighter grey; some additional time with the paint brush is likely required.

After The Ride / Welcome to the Future (2026 Version)

It seems we have arrived in the future, even more impressive than that flippy, spinny, flying car.

Thank you @Sitar_Ned and anyone else who may have helped getting us on the latest forum software. Small screen looks great, the YouTubes work, with everything feeling familiar. Exciting stuff!

As far as geometry is concerned, the GR 267 seems to be very similar to the Mondince 346/376 and Spcycle G028 frames.

You can't explain the fashion police to non-Francophones.
#6
The Tideace model seems to have a marginally longer chain stay (435mm vs. 430mm on Mondince's side).

Forum user blueyork claims he came across a random Reddit post made by user u/blue_york. How stupid do you think we are?

I should have mentioned that you can purchase various drifts as single items although I can't find any on AliExpress, perhaps I'm missing the magical keywords.

Alt/Alt: https://www.altalt.ca/products/over-axle-drifts (long + short)
Abbey: https://www.abbeybiketools.com/products/drift-17287-pair-1-2in (2 short only, so you may need to extend one of the drifts with another drift/tube that fits over the axle)

Unfortunately not ideal, no - in this scenario, you want to press against the outer bearing race. I don't know whether your hub is similar to the one in the following video but if it is, there seems to be enough clearance to use the 17x30 (i.e. 6903 bearing) drifts.


At around the 9:10 mark the technician has installed both the drive and non-drive side bearings and shows you both hub ends. To me it looks as if there is enough room for a 30mm outer diameter drift; it's a bit of a gamble though and again, I have no idea whether this hub resembles yours.

(3D printing a set of drifts may also be an option, good enough for occasional use.)

Handlebars

Specialized sell a 15mm rise Hover handlebar; I don't know whether 15mm is enough for you but if you want flare, there is a second Hover plus Flare model available as well.

(I didn't look closely but I believe cable routing is completely external to the bar.)

Stem/headset

On the more expensive side you have things like the Deda Superbox stem that allows for a variety of cable routing options; check the video to get an idea but the 'S-DCR' (with the scoop cover) or the 'Direct' (routing through the top cover) method may apply to your situation. (Stem angle: 8°)

AliExpress alternative to Superbox (ZTTO, stem angle: 7°): https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809062384224.html

Or you can just get a Deda S-DCR headset by itself and pick whatever stem you like.

AliExpress alternative to S-DCR headset option (ZTTO): https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809054431541.html

As always, make sure the various dimensions match what you have and that what you're being sent includes all the little bits and bobs you need.

i just noticed gear protection no longer prevents shifting to the small chainring while in 11 and 12, i think it happened since they added back auto trim is this the same for everyone else?

Yes, I too can shift to the small chainring while on the smallest cog (1st generation ER9, latest firmware and app with both auto trim and gear protection set to 'on').

Guys, need support, I try to install the Cema T47 bottom bracket that LightCarbon offers. I can't get either cup to start threading by hand at all — it just keeps turning without engaging and falls straight back out. Cup on the drive side, counterclockwise. Cup with the center sleeve on the non-drive side, clockwise, correct? What could go wrong?

Drive side is counterclockwise while non-drive side is clockwise, yes. I don't know whether it matters but in Cema's documentation, they have the sleeve on the right cup.

Can you check the direction of the BB threads to make sure the shells were installed correctly? And do the cups catch the BB threads if you inverse the rotation?

LightCarbon, Mondince and Velobuild are among the popular gravel brands at the moment; I recommend taking a look at the Cyclocross Frames section if you haven't already.

Maybe it's a region/country thing - the link works just fine for me (USA). In case it helps you locate the product somehow:
store = LTWOO Factory Store https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1102068195
menu = Products > Bicycle Derailleur MTB > Derailleur Groupsets MTB

Seat tube angle doesn't really mean much with these partially rounded, partially straight tubes.
