Hey guys,
Anyone else having shifting issues by combining the Magene P505 with a Shimano 12 speed groupset? Did you guys compensate for the 1mm extra chainline of the shimano 12 speed cranks? Magene P505 seems to be build around the previous 43.5mm chainline.

My rear shifting seems to be only working fine when the micro adjustment is completely maxed out (+16). Front shifting is not optimal as well (Ultegra chainrings).
Can this be due to the chainline or should I search for the solution somewhere else?

What type of bottom bracket? There are known issues with T47 (see above).

Are you referring to the bolt that is used to tighten the left crank arm to the spindle before the screw is used to "fix" the crank arm? If so, two remarks:
First: I had the issue that, even I used the specified torque settings, the crank arm worked loose and I lost the bolt. Not satisfying...seems this is not uncommon?
Second: If I am not mistaken, I replaced the bolt with one I had at home - so I was under the impression that Magene uses the same bolt and thread that Shimano uses?

No, they‘ve got differently ramped threads IMO. I was wondering if the the o-ring that you‘re supposed to place in that groove is there to stop the bolt from moving? I wouldn‘t know what other purpose this might have?

Anyway, this one-bolt-solution has made me check for torque regularly. Not a „install and forget“ solution really…

I‘m running one on a Look 765 with T47i and this needed a tiny spacer drive side. No problem since…

Component Deals & Selection / Carbon suspension/high-flex seatpost recommendations?
« on: February 05, 2024, 12:33:34 PM »
As the title says, I‘m looking for a carbon seatpost with some suspension function or particularly high flex for my gravel bike. Had one of those split-in-half types a couple of years ago, but wasn‘t happy with it as it kept slipping no matter the carbon paste and getting the seat angle correct was an utter pain in the back.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: SEKA Bikes? Out of contact?
« on: August 03, 2023, 10:27:56 AM »
I have an Exceed RDC frame that, unfortunately, I crashed and broke a couple of weeks ago. Referring to their crash replacement program, I contacted SEKA and was offered a replacement offer, but it has since been impossible to get them to send me an offer I can order. I get the impression that the poor communication with Cycling100 was not just due to them but also the frame provider. I've since bought an ICAN frame and their support is at least replying to inquiries quickly.

It's a pity, as the frame is actually really good value for the money. But if you want to grow a business in North America or Europe, you need to provide a certain level of customer support or you'll fail, regardless of the quality of the product.
