Anyone hooked this up to a 46t riro carbon chainring? Not sure how to install as there no mounting holes in the chainring, will it be compatible? Thanks

Anyone know whether the fe806 is compatible with an electronic groupset? I like the look of that Ltwoo electronic gravel thing

Hi Guys,


I'm looking for a pretty aggressive and stiff all-out race frameset, I'm looking at a LCR017-D or a Winspace T1550.

I love the idea of both these bikes and I've heard rave reviews about the aggressive geometry and stiffness of the T1550.

I'm more interested in hearing about the characteristics of the LCR as it's more attractive on the wallet, how does it ride? how stiff is it? Would it make a good all out race frame?

Thanks!

why not ask how the 17D rides... in the 17D thread? It's pretty much a clone of the supersix, except the downtube that's shaped very different.

Oops sorry Serge - didn't realise there was a thread on the frame!

Asked a question in there instead - mods feel free to delete this thread :)

Hi All!

After a pretty aggressive and stiff all out race frameset, I love the idea of both these bikes and I've heard rave reviews about the aggressive geometry and stiffness of the T1550.

I'm more interested in hearing about the characteristics of the LCR as its more attractive on the wallet, how stiff is it? Would it make a good all out race frame?

Also is it inspired by any of the western frames?

Thanks!

For me the lightweight/aero VeloBuild VB-R-268 paired with Magene EXAR Ultra wheels has been awesome so far.




That looks ace!

Is that a magene crankset too? What group set are you using?

Hi all,

I’m new to the scene, I know Winspace, Elves and Yoeleo produce decent stuff, I’m also aware of Velobuild and their offerings but what are some of the more universally loved frames? I’m predominantly looking for a aero frame set but I’m interested in anything really, so what are the more popular and commonly loved framesets?

Thanks

Yes and yes. But buying the shifters and derailleurs without the caliper makes little sense/might be more expensive than buying the whole thing. Also if you have R7000 the brake calipers are pure trash in my experience. R7100 was a giant upgrade

Yeah I’d buy the whole kit and keep the unused bits as spare - although I do have the R7000 so I might check out the new calipers.

I have a canyon endurace cf7 with 105.. Reckon the battery will fit in the seatpost? Also - can I do away with the calipers and retain the 105 brake setup?

Not really sure tbh! Just been window shopping and pricing things up, probably about 2k on a build but can go upwards from there

Not sure where do go with this now - looking at using an LTWoo Erx but wanting to track power and prioritise weight (pick one I guess) as it’s a climbing build. Does anyone know of a crankset that would fit the case? Or just a light crankset? I can look into pedal based PMs if easier

Can the supplied BB be discarded and a fresh Shimano branded one be used (as long as it’s to BB386 spec?) if so are threaded/press fit BBs interchangeable? Sorry for the stupid questions I’m new to building bikes.

Thanks!

Hi All,

New here, looking to build up a bike using an Elves Vanyar, I want it to be on the lighter side of things but also want to record my power output, I’m at a loss on the compatibility side of things as I’m new to building - the elves Frameset comes with a “either a BB386 -24R Shimano compatible, BB386-29R SRAM DUB or BB386-30R Rotor bottom bracket.”, I want to pair carbon chainrings (looking at the riro GXP ones) with a magene PES p505, would this be possible?

Thanks!
