Component Deals & Selection / Re: Spcycle Dropbar Reach Definition Dispute

You seem to want us to side with your interpretation rather than offer our impression based on the ali page. We dont have the bars and can't check ourselves, so that's all we can go on. Best to just return it! Fwiw i find straight bars with around 80mm reach to be the ideal anyways. Good luck with a substitute!

Could you please share your findings on long-reach handlebars? At the moment, this is the only one on my list. I haven't found any other handlebars with such a long reach.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Light 2 bolt computer mount

I’m satisfied with West Biking alu mount. Tried OgEvkin 2 bolt carbon mount, but with a bike computer and front light it cracked after 500 kilometers of gravel riding.

This mount is a solid choice for gravel riding. I’ve already ridden 10k kilometers of gravel with that mount.

Came across Evosid and their cranks + chainrings. According to the listing, with the cranks (160mm for 477g + chain rings 50-34 being 165g), in theory, it should be in the neighbourhood of 650g ~ range (give or take). That's almost hollowgram light for this cheap while having the option to go shorter cranks (170 to 160mm).

Has anyone tried these cranks + chainrings? How is the FD shifting? These look too good to be true for a hobbyist weightweenie bike build...

Here is the listing for the same crankset, but under different branding, with a lot of orders and good reviews. Regarding branding, the seller provides the following information: "The new logo (EVOSID) and the old logo (ZEROING) are sent randomly."

With discounts, it cost me around $30. I bought this budget crank to test 165 mm cranks before investing in something made of carbon. I plan to use it on my gravel bike during some harsh autumn/winter conditions. I'm also curious about the quality. I'll reach back here with a report after 2,000 km.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Spcycle New Mold G068 Carbon Gravel Frame

Has anyone installed a rear bike rack on this bike? And if so have any recommendations for racks that fit well?

Be careful with all types of rear racks that are mounted on the rear triangle tubes, it's a risk that frame will fail. The best choice would be the Tailfin with Aerorack and all its additional accessories, but the prices are the highest on the market for such a complete solution. Another option is to adapt the Ortlieb QuickRack with a thru-axle adapter.

Here is a thread on Reddit on that topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/bikepacking/comments/12vd83l/modifying_topeaks_journey_trail_thru_axle_to_fit/?share_id=2rGWcNniPOsd78H8QVfCa&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

You can also find the dedicated ORTLIEB THRU AXLE adapter here, just released some time ago: https://www.rosebikes.pl/ortlieb-thru-axle-m6-connector-adapter-thru-axle-2726722?sf=1

I have an Ortlieb rack on my touring bike and am pretty happy with it, but I am also looking forward to buying the thru-axle adapter just in case I decide to use it with my G068 frame.

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: New gravel frame for a tall rider (Could use help)

Hi guys! New here on Chinertown!

Me being a tall dutch guy, 1.96cm and inseam of 98cm. I need a larger frame then most folks. Which can be challenging when ordering from China. Is there any tall guys/girls out there that succeeded?

I ride 61cm road frames, I have a Factor Ostro VAM 61cm that suits me perfectly. A geometry like that is perfect, 409 reach, 611 stack, 73.3 head angle. And I have a 21'' mountainbike, which also is perfect for me.

Now I want a fast gravel frame for offroad riding, sand roads, light gravel, some trails in winter and some tarmac for winter training.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

My wishlist :
- T47 threaded bottom bracket
- Low chain stays
- Integrated cables or atleast hidden cables
- Clearance for 50mm tires
- 2x setup with 50/34 gearing (Running 11sp DI2)

I was looking at :
* Yoleo G21, a lot of handlebar options, T47, frame size available. Plenty of clearance, fits all my needs, only thing unsure of if seatpost can be high enough for my tall legs and alot of reviews saying its more a bikepacking bike. More oriented for endurance/feels somewhat sluggish.
* Carbonda CFR707, has size XXL option available, limited handlebar sizes, quite heavy, BSA 68mm BB, tire size and gearing is fine.

Is there anything else to consider? Alot of frames seem to go to max 58. Where I am pretty sure that's not gonna fit.

Which frame and setup did you end up with? Thanks.
