I've been using old Cyclami TPU tubes with the entirely threaded, metal valves. They're about 2 to 2.5 years old and about 2,500 km (I don't ride as much as I should)

I have a stash of RideNow tubes as backup but haven't ever had to replace the originals.

Anyone know of there's a shelf life of these?? I doubt it (hopefully).

Placed an order for a single 30mm front rim for $190 AUD shipped including tax. Incredibly cheap compared to all other options. A full wheelset is more cost effective but I didn't really want to splash out any more money on rim brake bikes.

Communication with the Acesprint is great. Whoever runs it has great English and is easy to communicate with.

The only downside is its not mentioned anywhere it will take 2 weeks to manufacture on top of the 2-3 weeks for shipping. This was only mentioned when asking for an update when the wheel hadn't shipped in about 10 days. I was hoping to have a spare wheel for an upcoming tri in case of strong winds.
I initially cancelled the order. With Easter coupons I ended up reordering the wheel saving about $30 from my first order.

I wish their aliexpress store had a more user friendly layout. It's a bit here and there trying to compare different combinations of wheels

Will update when the rim arrives

I ended up buying a set of the solid Stone wheels after my $3 ZTTO wheel seized up after maybe 800km

Just saw on AliExpress these 50mm deep wheels for $473 ( $446 AUD in the upcoming sale)
Seems like a really good price - just a shame I don't have any disc brake bikes

Hi, are there any plans on developing TT wheels? Specifically a rear disc wheel?

Hi all,

I have a number of full disc wheels in my cart. Currently Fierce Carbon is the cheapest at $587 AUD with free shipping. It's 26mm and has a ratchet hub

I was a bit suspect of the wheel being an 88mm spoked wheel with a cover. I messaged the seller asking about its construction, they replied that its "PMI wall, the same as DT Swiss 1100 and Princeton Carbonworks"
Tbh, my "if it smells, looks and tastes like shit" alarm is going off here.

Does anyone have any experience or input?

Cheers

any reason you are not looking into basebar with riser mounts like this?

my bike uses similar basebar n i swapped it down side up n get the upsweep ala speedmax

They're too expensive. I quite like my clip on extensions and only wanted to try a different profile base

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all the input. Much appreciated.

My goal is to shorten the cranks to 165mm. Here in Australia there isn't much of a second hand market for cranks, and if there is its from people doing the exact same as me.

I had a look online and 105 cranks are about $250 aud. I was hoping to avoid paying that much and getting something from Ali.

One issue is I want to keep the 2x up front juuust in case I book really hard and can't turn my legs over.
