those are twice the price of the campagnolos, but they do look pretty sweet

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Any wheelsets with "fun" spoke patterns, similar to campagnolo
« on: July 02, 2024, 12:04:08 AM »
I'm working on a new endurnace bike build and I'm looking for an endurance wheelset that can handle a bit of everything and is wide to run up to 35mm tires. I really like the look of the campagnolo shamal carbon c21 wheels, the price tag is not terrible for being campagnolo but wondering if there's anything out there that might be a better value and has a similar spoke pattern

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: What frame finish should I get if I want to do a custom paint job myself
« on: September 09, 2023, 11:44:30 AM »
ah right that makes sense, I guess if they can provide custom paint jobs they should also be able to provide just the primer layer if I ask. One downside that I'm thinking about is that if I order the raw unprimed finish it will be more easy to inspect the frame for any manufacturing errors (It's my first DTC Chinese frame so I'm a bit nervous on the quality). On the other hand I guess any problem with a frame that can be spotted by eye is usually in the non painted areas of the frame, so I guess there isn't much benefit getting the raw finish

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / What frame finish should I get if I want to do a custom paint job myself
« on: September 08, 2023, 12:58:46 PM »
Hi all,
I'm planning on ordering a frame and I'd like to do a custom paint job myself, I've messaged the vendor to see if I could get the frame raw without any paint and they said it was possible, but I'm a bit confused if there would be any advantage getting the raw frame without primer vs getting the black matte finish.
I'm going for an opaque paint job so as far as I understand the first layer on the frame would be a black primer, so I'm wondering if I can just get the black matte finish instead to avoid having to do the primer layer, or does the matte finish come with clear coat and would require sanding down before I can apply paint, in which case I assume I'm better off ordering the raw finish frame?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / CF-025 disc frame tire clearance ?
« on: September 06, 2023, 10:14:23 AM »
Hi,
Does anyone own the CF-025 Disc and can give me an idea what's the biggest tire I could fit? I know the officially supported max tire is 28 which seems rather skinny for an endurance frame. I was able to find some comments of someone running 30's but not sure how much more can it be pushed.
If max tire is really 30 does anyone have recommendations for a similar geometry frame that can fit bigger tires (Ideally 35's). I've looked at the carbonda 1056 and the rinasclta granite but I seem to be between frame sizes, I'm looking for a frame with 395 reach and 600 stack
