Magene are now supplying with a new pre-load bolt that assumably fixes the issue. I saw this in their new instructions video.

I have the old pre-load bolt type, and it came loose multiple times. After applying threadlocker there's been zero issue  :D

I'd say go for it, can't beat it for the money.

can you link that video please?

Price went down to 264€, today it's at 275€, while usually sitting around 300€... Bit surprising prior to 11.11., I'm hoping for a good deal

I have a 36t deckas chainring on my CX rig. It's fine, it's the cheapest narrow-wide chainring I could find for 36t. No real complaints here!

same set up here,great job

Hi all,
lost my pre load screw for PES505 on a ride and cannot locate it,as a result left crank came away with my shoe.
reached out to magene and panda podium for an idea as to how i can get either an original PLS or a generic replacement.
shimano are too small and spin out,(dont grab).
any ideas folks?

I swear i am going to torque it right next time!!!


UPDATE
Would you believe it it ruddy FOUND IT!!!
went back to the scene of the NDS crank arm looking to leave the party and after 5mins scouting ,there she was.
Thread lock all the way !



thanks
John

I'm very impressed by the bib shorts with pockets from Inbike:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtbxMx6

Currently $26 USD but I bought them for $20 USD a couple weeks ago

I bought these as there are not many options for budget bib shorts with pockets (I tried some from Kemaloce and they were absolutely dreadful, straight in the bin).

These Inbike ones are great - lycra is good quality, straps are decent, pockets are a good size and the pad seems impressive but have only done a 2-hour ride so far.

Also quite interestingly, the tag has a contact for Lameda cycling on it - so I can only assume that it's made by Lameda or perhaps there's some relationship between the brands? Some of the Lameda stuff on AliExpress looks great but the amount of options makes it hard to figure out which one to try.

padding way too hard! sore after an hour or two ride.
avoid!

Ride now- great on roadbikes
not so great on Gravel- very prone to pinch flats(snake bites).
running them at35-40psi on maxxis ramblers 40mm i am 90kg .
3 of 4 tubes failed on each ride.

update
reached out to Info@ridenow and explained my reservations about buying ridenow again and Eric responded and some over and back i asked could he send a repair kit(tpu cement etc- the good one) as a gesture.
he sent two and 6 gravel tubes.
cant fault that kind of service

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Magene QED 12spd groupset showcased in Shanghai

Quote from: Petr (CyclistsHub.com) on May 05, 2024, 06:26:11 AM
It seems that more Chinese manufacturers are interested in penetrating the groupset market, which is dominated by Shimano and SRAM. After Ltwoo, Sehsah, and Wheeltop, Magene is a new player. They showcased their QED 12spd road groupset at Shanghai's China International Bicycle Fair. I got this info (and pictures) from a person attending the fair. So, there might be some discrepancies. Anyway, here is what I know:
- 12spd semi-wireless groupset
- looks like Shimano 105
- it will have hidden buttons on the inside
- hoods/shifters compatible with rim + hydraulic disc brakes

The price or the release date is unknown. What is your guess?


where is Sensahs Electronic offering?
thanks
