29er / 24mm axle Boost XC Carbon cranks
« on: July 10, 2026, 03:50:52 AM »
Most options for carbon XC cranks use a DUB or 30mm axle. AliX has a couple of options on the cheaper side - but possibly a bit too cheap to be reliable…any experience of these Wuzei Titanium axle cranks? The option of a 24 mm alloy axle is just a bad thing, but maybe the Ti axle version is ok?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Magene TEO Crankset with P515 power meter

I bought the Magene TEO with the 515 spider powermeter as well.
But my driveside crankarm comes loose after every 10-15 km

Anyone experienced something similar? Solutions?
Thanks

Blue thread lock on the spindle threads and use a Torque wrench

What torque are you currently using?

The Nero show tests were done on a pan flat crit circuit, no significant hills. If you were riding with a lot of climbing, I expect the weight of a 40mm tyre would be very noticeable.

Looking good!
The thing I am most interested in now is comfort. At 63y old I checked with the bike fitter that the frame can work for me. It can but that would be undone if the frame rides harshly. Looking forward to your review.

It’s an aero race bike. It won’t be a super smooth comfortable ride. Same for any aero race bike. The tube profiles make is impossible to make it into a plush smooth ride.

If you want more comfort, look at the XMCS Gran Tourismo frameset already available.

I’ve just been speaking to Angler at DFS Wheels. He’s asking me (persistently) for payment, based upon an email conversation. So whilst we’ve discussed my requirements, he’s not quite confirmed what I’m paying for. Just checking that was everyone’s experience and to ensure that I’m not getting scammed.

It’s not a free advice service  ;D
and they are no doubt dealing with hundreds of similar conversations at the same time. You’ll find a similar approach from all direct to consumer Chinese brands.

Absolutely not out of business. If you want a quicker reply then use WhatsApp

You can run cables inside that stem and so lose the plastic guide at the bottom. That would drop it a lot, but you need a bar that runs internal cables with a hole at the stem clamp.

Ultimately  what is the reason for this post?

A lot of people when they post these threads aren’t actually looking for technical differences — they’re looking for social proof. In marketing terms, that means they want other people to reassure them that buying a counterfeit frame is acceptable because “other riders do it too.” It’s not about carbon layups or QC; it’s about seeking permission.

100% agree! Very well said

How are customers finding the zen hubs, compared to H works? They look very similar.

Haha. Silverstone wind tunnel testing it would be. We should be able to do this in April.

Does this mean it will be available to buy after April? Or before?   8)

Yes, I use Stone and Rotor AXS 2x chainrings. In my view, Stone is better shifting than Rotor - and cheaper
