I was eyeing this as my bryton 750 is slowly dying, but the app dependency is a deal breaker.
So to clarify and confirm, you cannot start logging a ride without it BT connected to the phone/APP?

You can remove the sticker (if its a sticker) and then use something like googone to remove the residue.
Use more grease on the ratchets to make them less noisy.
The only wheelset I have ever bought that was properly lubed / greased was from 9velo. Everything else, remove all the end caps, ratchets and do it all yourself.

I got the same wheelset.
Lmk how you go with the sticker, it does seem to be under some clearcoat possibly.

the black picture you posted says gemini ai generated. is it real or is it slop?
Curious about the frame, there's a lot that can go wrong. The bayonet thing is extremely boutique, and the bars could be a slop fest. All that innovation at that price point is both interesting and scary. Did you buy via alibaba?

Its was standard black glossy colorway stock photo, and I used AI to black out the logos as example for manufacturer of what I wanted  (no extra fee). There is 2 month production time on these frames.
Yes bought via alibaba.  Agree its a bit of a gamble.  Happy to be a guinea pig for this frame.

Looks great, what's the weight of the frameset? Must be a chonker.

I'll weigh it when I receive it.  Its size 52, I am guessing 1000-1100g ball park.  Acceptable for a T800 frame for 515USD :)

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a wheelset from AliExpress. After removing the rim tape, I noticed that some of the transparent clear coat seems to be coming off the rim. I contacted the seller's support team and they refunded me 10%.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Since it's only on the inside of the rim, I assume it doesn't affect safety, but I'd be interested to hear if this is common.

Thanks!

dang just bought a top gun off them.
that's worrying and not normal, did Kore get back to you?

Pulled the trigger on this frameset plus 105 Di2.  Chose the Black glossy frameset with black logos for a stealth look.
Overall, going to be a budget build 105 di2 group, Kore 50mm Wheelset, Magene PM. All around ~2700USD, which is a steal.
Looking forward to getting the frame and sharing my experience on this thread.

This frame looks interesting but Jessie started to not answer my questions after few hours lol. Looks like this will be off my list

I am also in discussing with Jessie, and do not expect instant responses.  Sometimes its quick reply from her but usually a few hours before a reply. and I am in Australia which only 2 hrs ahead.  I assume she has hundreds of messages to respond to.

Has anyone tried if a 35c tires can fit in this frame even the description says 30c maximum?

From the geometry chart, it says it supports 32c...maybe 35c will fit.

Yes it's the same case for me too and everybody else (for sure). It costed me 1046 usd in total including shipping which is 115 usd (less 70 usd if you will not opt for paint so 825 usd for frame + parts). Speeder also does the same thing, which I believe is connected with Adapt

That's odd.  Lightcarbon usually includes all the bits and pieces.
User Xtakayamax had attached a screenshot of accessories in a previous post.  Wonder if this Was an additional cost?
I will enquire about the Superlight version.
Thanks

Thats an old topic but it was the only place that I could find to talk about the DP-B02,
As I was looking for something like a tavelo arow, I stumbled on Adapt, long story short, they don't sell it b2c but Allyn forwarded me to Livia Xu, from Chainbicycle ( [email protected]) and she promptly answered me saying that they have the frameset available, after a few emails, she sent me the geometry chart, pictures of tha actual frame and we proceeded with the purchase.
The frameset costed me including shipping to Germany and handlebars 1064 usd which is not bad at all imho for a udh frameset with this geometry. It got shipped today and I will upload more informations about it when I get the frameset here.
I am extremely satisfied with how easy and smooth the transaction was, and probably I will keep them on my favorites list depending on how the frame is once I get it.

What I wanna know is that if there is anyone riding it atm and what is the feedback on the ride feel and characteristics.
:)

I have been in discussion to purchase the frame, but the quote I've received does not include the accessories :  headset, thru axles, spacers, derailleur hanger, seatpost clamp . Which is not my expectation having purchased Chinese frames before.
Was this the same case with your order?

reagarding "Lightcarbon Standard Design". wendy informed that the red/white paint job is currently the one.

i also received some more pictures

In the side profile picture, does anyone feel the riser bar looks weird?  maybe its a short stem one that makes it look very awkward

Also, for an aero frame the boxy downtube is off putting for me.
