Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Re: Crankset clicking - Evosid - where to start?
« Last post by courdacier on November 20, 2024, 11:24:10 AM »
I'm starting lean towards 3 bolt direct mount cranksets with 2 pinch bolt non-drive crank arms. They have both chainring/power meter flexibility, while being compatible with different size bottom brackets.

Like for example T47 has several variations with 68mm external cups, 86.5mm internal cups, and 78-79mm internal/external cups for bottom brackets! That's not including variations in 24mm/29mm/30mm spindle diameters. I guess the actual interface is now standardized, but under that standard are a plethora of different sizes.
yes, I prefer the Shimano pinch-bolt/axle pre-load cap arrangement as well b/c you're not stressing that cap threads much. The interface that Evosid selected (can't tell if it's legacy FSA or maybe an earlier version of the current Rotor axle) invites you to strip out or break off the hollow bolt b/c you have no idea when you hit the end of the splined section. At least SRAM had it tapered in the same way that square taper works. Not having any torque settings listed isn't helpful, either.

I see you are also using a Raceworks carbon crank? Is it this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006794337930.html
Can you simply swap the powermeter spider off the Magene/Zrace crankset and onto the Raceworks?

Yes, as long as it’s a 3 bolt crankset. The Zrace crankset is actually not bad. It’s well made, but it has a 29mm spindle axle and I prefer 24mm on bsa threaded frames for the bigger bearings. Also I found using Shimano chainrings the most effortless. I might pick up an Ultegra chainring setup later on for the slight weight reduction. I’m using a spare 105 chainring and it’s about a 50g weight difference.

You wont be able to fit a dub 29mm and a ti 24mm axle in the same spline, you would need an adapter to fill in the space that the 24mm is narrower.

This does however mean that you can pissibly swop the dub spindle for a shorter one, if the interface accepts the normal bb386/bb30 interface.

This is something that I wish I could have done with my set. Meaning I can finetune the q-factor.

This may intrigue me enough to buy another set.

They do. For some odd reason they chose not to show them in the pics.

The reason isn't odd, it's to make the uninitiated people buy the product because it looks just like a regular set of shifters on the pictures

I'm looking for 30mm external width rim brake wheels. Do they exist? Or because 30mm tyres have problems on most brake calipers and frames no one makes the?

The widest I can find in elite drives and a discontinued ar56 bby lightbicycle.

I have a newer gen rim brake giant TCR and want to fit 30mm wheels and tyres on it.

Got myself a pair of XC 28mm and pair of ENT disc. Going from alu low profile wheels on XC bike was a HUGE level up on flat and uphill. I'd love to disagree about cheapest elitewheels being on a soft side unfortunatlu reality hits after 600-700W. Would I go back to my previous Stans alu set? Hell nah. Hope my newest set, which was a bargain ENT Disc, will serve me well as XC does.

Anyone know what the story is between Tantan and Lightcarbon? They are both selling the same frames but both pose as manufacturers.
It doesn't look like the same frame to me, which models are you referring to?

I'm having trouble finding photos of bikes with this frame online. I'm really interested in buying it. If I understand correctly, it's been out for quite some time, about a couple of years? The seller also offered me the handlebars, they look really nice, hb005
