FYI

Difference between Geoid 500 Crankset and Magene PES505 Crankset

1. The Senicx PR3 crankarms are slightly more outwards curved, while the Magene PES505 are straight and run diagonal between spindle and pedal eye. I always had issue running a 105 Di2 or GRX 12s Di2 FD, because it was rubbing against the driveside Magene arm in the bigring and high gears. Only solve was to use an Ultegra Di2 FD. With the Senicx there is way more room.

2. The Senicx PR3 Crankset that comes with the Geoid 500 has about 3mm shorter chainline than the Magene PES505! I now have the issue that my 34 inner ring is only 1 mm away from the chainstay. With the Magene arms I has about 4 mm of space to the frame.

Tomorrow I'll try to see if the Geoid Spider has a different chainline from the PES505. But I suspect not.

Did you Check the spider? Are geoid and pes505 spiders identical concerning Chainline?

I have some Problems with Seatpost slippage. To the owners: Which Torque do you apply? Did anybody found a official Torque spec from seraph / tantan?

Hi,
Could you tell me what axles you bought and their measurements? I'm looking to replace them.
I also see you installed the 24mm Riro carbon crackset. Were you able to install it straight away without any problems? And how does it perform, and the chainrings?
And how has the bike worked for you, and have you made any other changes? I have one and I changed the wheels, tires, TPU inner tubes, and saddle.

Thanks.


I bought These axles. Front 126. Rear 168. Perfect fit. Weight original axles 113g, new ones 67g. During Sale with coins both for 2.16 USD. Can recommend.

I just found this on AliExpress:

is that velobuild 268? I've had ltwoo rx on a 268 with a fully integrated cockpit and it sucked. I was struggling for months trying to get it to shift good enough and ended up swapping the rd for a shimano 105 which is compatible. that improved the shifting quite a bit but still wasn't great. eventually replaced the entire groupset with di2

Its a VB 168, fully integrated bar

Hey folks,

Could one of the experts take a look at the length of the cable housing for my rear derailleur?

Does it look too long?

I paired L-TWOO R9 shifters with an Ultegra derailleur. Shifting performance is decent, but not perfect. The frame is fully integrated, which I think doesn’t help concerning shifting performance due to the bending radius.

Do you think shortening the housing would improve shifting performance?

What difference do you spot after canging to Ultegra pulley wheels?

Hello.
I'm also thinking about buying this bike.
HBuying the Kocevlo frame and Wheeltop shifter costs almost the same as the TT-X42 with carbon wheels and shipping to Europe, €1250.
Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Regards

I see it like you do. From my perspective, the package is unbeatable in terms of price. I can't understand how the package can be offered so cheaply. I'm considering whether to buy the deal or not. What bothers me the most is the 42 handlebar. Due to the fully integrated cockpit, a replacement is probably not so easy, which is why it puts me off a bit. Actually, I don't need the bike, but the Wheeltop groupset would really tempt me. I’m watching the deals (spring, summer, back to school, etc.), maybe the price can even be pushed down to 1100€ (including shipping to Germany). If I buy it, I will report back...

Hello everyone,
are there any more buyers here in the forum who can share their experiences?
I am interested in the bike as a cost-effective alternative and am thinking about placing an order.
Some good photos in daylight would also be nice.
What weaknesses have you identified? I would be happy to receive some more information...
