For me they would cost 20€ a pair, that does not make sense, you can get the original for cheaper.
Have not had much luck with 3rd party look cleats, went back to the ogirinal and i'm way happier, the function and last longer.

Got mine today, says 140mm on the package, measures 135mm.

Quality looks very good. the body is made from compressed fibers while the rails seem to be seperate, but molded into the body. So they should be stronger than just compressed fibers.
The cover material sits very well over the foam with no exposed edges. Should hold up well.

I have not ridden it yet though, but the quality seems to be right.

This one looks good and I have it on order. There are some ultralight ones at 130mm out there, but they don't inspire confidence, so I got the lexon/ryet one. About 40€ for the 135mm, eva version

I don't know, if it started as marketing, as the z rating very much seems to originate in oem manufacturing.
Whether this will be lightcarbons version of a lab71 remains to be seen, although z3 does not really has a performance claim behind it, just a "you don't get a shit product" claim.

What is the T47 spacing on the Fl1? Is it 86mm? Would be a shame as the Magene PMs would not fit.

FYI, I asked for a quote and they told me that they have an exclusive deal with a German brand, so they won't sell any frames to individual customers in Germany. Too bad, this frame looks awesome.

Well that is a shame, was planning to order one to germany...

Ican FL1 it is then
Or Workswell r316, but that is a tad more expensive.

With the disclaimer that this is my first bike build and that I know little about carbon frames in comparison to many others on this forum, I'm impressed with my initial inspection of the FL1 frame.

Well, this is actually a lot of paint overspray, nothing which should be a deal braker, but that was not cleaned up after spraying. Not that you should expect that, but it is just an okay job. The BB shell will have contact with the overspray and most likely crack the paint.

The brake mounts may need some work with a razor blade to clean up the overspray, if you have trouble aligning the brak caliper.

The bearing seat of the headtube looks very good though.

Okay, i get you.
Chance is, the lubricant in the Onirii pedals isn't even the source for the stickyness. I had pedals with grease, which was as sticky as glue and those were spinning just fine.
That said, i don't own the Onirii pedals, so this is just a guess.

I asked for a quote for a wheelset to compare to the lightbicycle falcon pro turbo wheelset.

I'm torn whether i want some dt wiss 240 or knock off hubs. Are the xmcs in house hubs compatible with dt swiss replacement parts? I would hate to have to realce a new hub, if anything fails.

Edit: Already got a reply from Peter and all i can say is wow, that is some value offered, i will glady chose xiamencarbonspeed.

I think they often overtorque bolts in the factories. I have a set of aliexpress pedals where one side was easy to open and the other side was impossible and it completely mangeled the bolthead.
Best practice could be to use an impact driver to unscrew stuck bolts, but i don't have one :)

I happen to actually like a bit of a thicker grease in pedals, because it is more water resistant and easier to clip in. I have some look carbon pedals and those spin like crazy and i hate it, although i got somewhat used to that, but i will replace the lubricant to something thicker in those soon.

Can you share the link to the unbranded one, if there is a price difference?
I'm currently torn between a fully integrated system and a bar stem combo and this would be my first choice for a separate bar and stem so far.

Anyone tried this stem? Seems like the cleanest solution as far as I can see. It is expensive though:

I just received my wheels, and put gp 5000 s tr 30 on them, and they sit really in line with the rim.
I can provide measurements and pic tonight(~8h)

That would be great, thanks!

I'm intereset in the 33mm wide rims.

Does anybody know how a 30mm GP5000 will sit with these 26mm inner width rims? Will it be around 33mm?
