I've had these for over a year https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007073219603.html I've already worn them a bunch of times and even bought a couple more just in case.Agree, I have the same. All the socks stretch good!
Even though they say 45 as the size, they're actually one size (I also have 30cm feet). I usually wear 46 or 47.
This is how all integrated bars work, unless you have a D shaped steerer tube and a very specific set of bars/stem (e.g. Factor, Colnago, Winspace). The hoses will come out in front of the steerer tube, routed through the headset spacers, and will be completely hidden.Yeah I have a Factor Ostro VAM this is why I was wondering. Ill make it work
So why you should not be able to route the cables internal?Well my bars dont have holes on the inside, also not on the sleeve reducer. They come out in front of it. Maybe they work, have to check
Lol. "The giveaway will be supervised by the forum moderators to ensure fairness and transparency".U think it's rigged?
If you look at the messages posted by AFE (click on "Members" next to "my messages" to find him), most of his messages on the forum are about Tideace.
So let's say the concept of fairness used here in the giveaway is rather different from what i assumed a random giveaway meant. And given the number of people who entered the giveaway, i'm going to assume people share my assumption, namely that this was meant to be a largely random pick, if not fully random.
AFE's posting pattern ties him to Tideace, which makes him not only an outlier, but likely the only member on the forum with this bias. And so, he was chosen.
Now, is that fair and transparent?
P505. Used a 1mm spacer. To check for rub I marked the frame with a felt pen, tightened up the cranks and gave a few turns under load. Then I made sure none of the marker was rubbed off by the crank.Got pictures of the clearance with TB 2.1 on fd?
Ended up going with THUNDER BURT 2.1. Gave me a bit more clearance. This is with 25mm internal width rims.
Built it up last night.What did you swap the rear to? With a FD max maybe 48 or 50mm?
-105 DI2
-Magene PES PM
-2.2 Racekings. Will have to replace the rear, clearance is too tight
-52cm frame
Prefer with integrated cockpit!
I'm 170 with 79 inseam and same saddle height. Went for 49 and have a 100 mm bar. I run the only 2 spacer that are required to run the bar (15mm).
