Do you mind sharing pictures ? I would like to have an idea of what it will look like. Thank you ! Do you run them tubeless ?

No I use TPU tubes

the attached picture is with 45mm RS front and back - I don't have one with the 50mm in the front

I'm using the purple gustavo tubes 35-50mm on my gravel bike with 40mm tires. Plastic valves, but no issues at all. Super cheap too, usually get them for about $6 for 2 with the bundle deals.

same here - really like them - more than the ridenow ones

I run them on my commute Gravel which I use also to do some real gravel when I've got time for a detour homewards. I run them in the front with a 50mm Schwalbe G-One R and in the back a 45mm RS. No complaint.

not tested, but that should be what you are looking for https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005013063803427.html

Can someone recommend shoes for road bike with boa? I'm looking for white shoes.

Not original boa but similar I have sidebike and santic shoes, both are very good imo - santic is quite expensive and only worth buying if you get a really good deal.

I've recently switched from COOMA pink to golds. I have a wheelset that are prone to resonant squealing and shrieking. I spent a long time swapping in different rotors and fresh pads thinkingi had contaminated the pads or that the rotor design was the issue.

No, cooma ceramic pads seem to just be predisposed to squealing. Contamination? They squeal. Wet weather? Squeal. Glazed? Squeal. Wrong wheelset?Believe it or not, squeal.

Cooma pink have great durability and are a great pad if your setup tolerates their propensity to squealing (and I have a few of these) If you have any issues with squealing though, go with the golds.

funny my golds on 3 bike all squeal horribly so that i will switch them out.

anyone can compare the sidebike 020 and 028?

yes i had both. the 028 is more premium build (boa style lock is better e.g.). I prefer the 028

I have shoes from sidebike (model 028) with carbon soles und 2 boa style mechanism. Im happy with the shoes especially as i only paid 130 Euro for them.
I wanted to buy a pair this summer from santic but ther prices double and are nor more interesting. Last year the shoe i wanted was sold for 145 with coupouns and now it costs 288 .

So at the moment i'd rather go with sidebike.

I have to torque above 6nm more like 8 nm then nothing slips. As this mechanism is different than a round seatpostclamp that doesn't damage my carbon seatpost

no they don't wobble. As I said i cannot see any flaws.

I'm not qualified to tell if they are true  I couldn't find a flaw, for me the build quality seems solid. But as im no expert and I wouldn't count too much on my judgment :-D

Had my first ride with the wheels - using them on my gravel commute bike. Nothing to complain. They are extremely load, the loudest wheels I have. For 300€ shipped via eBay that is a no brainer for me

I also ordered a pair in 24mm 50mm depp from ebay for arount 300€ shipped incl. everything which is a real bargain, will report back once i have them

Yes, it's not the same size and weight. It's bigger, way heavy plus slower and louder. Did not like it at all and returned

i've got two of these - they are light and do work well.

i've had no luck getting my position dialed in with short nosed saddles

was wondering if there's any recommended saddles that's 270x150 in size?

I seem to be in the same boat as you, I have these 2 now for testing - will report back when I did some km.
