I want to buy one of these 4-bolt, 110bcd power meters, but I want to use it on my mountain bike with a 36-tooth chainring. Do you think that's possible? (I couldn't find a 104bcd version at such a low price.)

My suggestion for future bike frames would be to continue making seatposts where the saddle can be pushed all the way forward. I think that many cyclists who buy aero frames look for this detail in case they use aero bars for a triathlon, and then use it again as a road bike. You have two bikes in one.

Now TRIFOX is also selling this bike frame, but I think there's a mistake in their ad. According to their description, the frame weighs 1270g in size 17 and 1330g in size 19. There's also a variation in the rear wheel width of only 2.25g. The official name for the brand's model is TRAIL II PRO.

Will TRIFOX's after-sales service be better than AIRWOLF?

Yohoo-Works Store provides a big discount if you place an unpaid order and contact them via direct message on aliexpress.
They will adjust the price. You may have to change your currency to USD and then select Wire Transfer as payment. You'll be able to pay via Paypal afterwards.
I got it for 194$/168€ (before VAT/tax) in combination with other coupons.


Is there a 104 bcd version of this power meter for MTB?

Anybody got recommendations for Spring/Autumn long sleeve jackets (good for around 7-12deg c and water resistant)? I've had good experience with ykywbike bibs but open to other brands.

I have this one from DAREVIE, at first it felt a little tight in the chest, but after a few uses it fit quite well, the quality is one of the best things I've bought on aliexpress, I bought it in the coins section and it cost 30 dollars but I got it for 17 dollars, I bought an L Asian size, I'm 1.73cm tall and weigh around 70kg, the sleeves are perfect, the back length is maybe a little long for those who like it to be above the waist, but I would order the same size again in another color.

I recently bought this tape because a friend in my group was using it. It looks pretty cheap, it doesn't even have a brand name, but after using it for a while, it feels pretty comfortable on the drops, and its texture is quite non-slip. I would buy it again.

Other carbon plated running shoe options

Li-Ning Men FEIDIAN 4 CHALLENGER - 105 USD
IRUNSVAN (various models)  - 65 USD upwards
XTEP - Xtep 360X  -105 USD upwards

Anyone have any experince of these ones?
leaning towards IRUNSVANsee attached


I have IRUNSVAN Speed 3.0 Pro, which according to their descriptions is the model for fast paces. After using them for a while, the foam feels too firm, and the energy return isn't as noticeable.

I also used Li-Ning Feidian 3.0 Challenger. For medium-fast paces, they feel better than the Irunsvan, but the heel isn't as stable.

Before these, I used the ONEMIX PACEBEAM, and I still find them far superior to the other two, even better than the Nike Zoom Fly 3. The energy return is instantly noticeable.

The only problem I encountered with them was that the metatarsal foam flattened significantly after using them on gravel. I stopped using them after about 500 km, but they probably would have lasted much longer if I had only used them on asphalt.

I bought these brakes in 2023, but now I have oil leaks on the brake levers, right at the base of the lever reach adjustment screw.

Does anyone know how to perform service on this, or has anyone had a similar problem?

29er / A new hardtail XC with HA 67 degrees

Has anyone already purchased this new Airwolf frame? Apparently it has a 67-degree angle. I don't think there were any frames on AliExpress that were rated lower than 68 degrees for hardtail frames.
