I have bought this Pasak fork: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005004852957636.html

Since Sam Pilgrim tested a Pasak fork to its maximum, I am sure it will not snap when I put in on my bike:

any good brands for alixpress?

I am gonna rebuild a specialized hardtail frame. I need a new fork. Any advice on a nice 100mm travel fork? Maximum 100 bucks. Please post with link!

Hey Guys,

I've just installed the LTWOO GR9 groupset on my gravelbike. And honestly, it feels and shifts amazing.

I currently run a 11-50 casette, which is huge. It came with the groupset. I'm running a 1x shimano deore 30T with it, but I'm hesitating that this gearing might be too small and that I will have a way too high cadence on the flat. I plan to do a bikepacking trip with front and rear cycling bags through the swiss alps. But I will also encounter flat roads. Any suggestions what chainring might be nice? 32,34,36,38?

Look forward to your idea's!

Planning on buying these red ones, they look awesome: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005567029211.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.3.421139aaGsqKyV&algo_pvid=2a71abcc-fb26-47a6-97ee-497ed9271595&aem_p4p_detail=202306181337509934031362799200013984924&algo_exp_id=2a71abcc-fb26-47a6-97ee-497ed9271595-1&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21EUR%2117.2%218.77%21%21%21%21%21%40211bf12316871206705498444d07ae%2112000033579378868%21sea%21NL%211858728406&curPageLogUid=JQOFvj6pXcI4&search_p4p_id=202306181337509934031362799200013984924_2

Shimano already sued Sensah awhile back. If there are any patent issues, I'm sure Shimano or SRAM would be taking legal action by now. I have no doubt they're watching LTwoo and Sensah with a microscope. The Chinese cycling industry is getting too big to ignore.

Good to know. It is interesting that ChinaCycling started the PandaPodium website. It is a big move for the cycling industry, but he might end up being sued for reselling these products. I might try the electronic groupset one day. Buy it, before it's removed from the market lololol.

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a nice and cheap chiner integrated cockpit. E.g. combined handlebar and stem. Any good suggestions? I'm looking for a good quality one.

ER9 pricing isn't bad. Not sure I consider $575 for the carbon version much of a steal when Shimano 105 can be had for around $700 these days. But just under $450 for an electronic group is tempting.

Yea, it's so cheap that it's worth a try. The review of ChinaCycling does look good to me. Interestingly, on his reviews on the china bike show he mentioned that it is good to wait for the second version of a groupset. In general, the manufacturers tend to rule out the problems of the first version.

I'm also wondering, how are these groupsets patent wise? Are components illegal copies of other groupsets?

LTWOO launched their electronic groupset for mindboggling prices. Any experiences with or expectations of these groupsets?

Prices on alibaba are way cheaper than alixpress. Anybody ever bought from alibaba?

China cycling on the ERX:

Anybody experience with these wheels or any judgement whether the quality will be ok?
