Finally decided to pull the trigger on the P505 Powermeter. The cheapest option includes the Z-race cranks and a BB, lol... so that's what I went with, and had to get a new chainring to go with it, lol.

do you have a link?

I mean are you trying to save money, what is your goal? you can find 105 cranks and ultegra cranks at 165mm

also if you want to stick to the gxp mount style but 24mm, you can shop around on ali since other companies make them and half of the price of senicx. They all look very similiar to me anyway

Component Deals & Selection / recommendation for wheelset 650b/27.5
« on: July 13, 2024, 02:18:12 PM »
I plan on doing some bikepacking trips on my steel gravel bike and I currently can fit 700x48 on that bike and so I am in the market to buy 650b so I can try fitting 650x2.0 or 2.1. I need suggestions for a wheelset that will last a while.

I know ZTTO has these enduro 27.5's but I can't remember reading from here that they eat up the ratchet or something.

Another option is:

Although they are hookless, not too sure if I want to trust these if I am running tubeless. Either way, any suggestions would be great for 650b/27.5 wheels with components/parts that can be easily replaced/fixed.

I've had mine for over a year now, and very pleased with it.  No issues and just works, paired to my Bryton.
Didn't even realized there were firmware upgrades till I read this thread!

how long does it last and has the battery degraded over a year?

What do you mean warm out of the box? Heating up fast? The cutesliving store has a pair for 38€ during sale so I'm tempted but I'm afraid those rivets might fail like tracevelo has reported on his - they weren't kactus but the rivet looks very similar. Price seems a bit steep if compared to the zrace that goes for 10€/pair and there's no claimed figures to compare them
By the way the CD-01 are way overpriced in the last link, it can be had for 1/4th the price in other stores

Here is what coffee break told about them:

They are the same ones as CD-01 and maybe he got some faulty ones but either way, due diligence.

The Kactus rotors are pretty good. I'm using them on both my road and gravel bike. I'm also using Onirii rotors on another frame, but I think the Kactus bites a bit better due to more rotor surface. I also ditched my Ice Tech rotors. Unless you get the black Dura Ace rotors, the silver Ultegra rotors always end up looking like s**t.

Hello, could you provide a link to the kactus rotors and the onirii ones because the latter has different models. I was looking at zrace rotors but I heard they feel warm out of the box, so I don’t want to waste my money or time with these.

hello, ive been buying 9 speed ybn chains but I was wondering if anyone had a link for legit 11-12 speed shimano chains, I am confused which shimano chains are real or not as some do not come with quicklinks and they are supposed to be packaged seperately and sometimes the reviews say that they are real. Or should I completely stay away from shimano chains, what other chains are good alternative apart from YBN?
