IMTOS Ultralight Carbon Fiber Thru Axle
ForumChinertown

IMTOS Ultralight Carbon Fiber Thru Axle

The IMTOS Ultralight Carbon Fiber Thru Axle is a modular, universal thru axle system designed for weight savings and compatibility across different frames. Users report weights around 28-30g per pair, significantly lighter than typical 67-90g stock axles. The product uses carbon fiber shafts with interchangeable aluminum threaded ends in various pitches (1.0, 1.5, 1.75mm) and lengths. Prices range from €160 on AliExpress to $169-220 USD from other sellers. The design allows transfer between frames with different thread requirements, but has sparked debate about safety, proper fit, and the modular interface.

Magene QED Groupset

The Magene QED groupset is a Chinese electronic groupset that has generated significant controversy due to a reported brake failure incident. Forum discussions focus heavily on a potential design defect where the hydraulic shifters may not provide enough fluid volume to properly actuate the brakes as pads wear, potentially leading to complete brake failure under certain conditions. While some users report it has outsold competitors like LTwoo and Wheeltop in China, the primary concern is safety and reliability. The product's availability outside China appears uncertain, and discussions compare it to established brands like Shimano 105 Di2 and other Chinese alternatives.

YKYWBIKE Men Cycling Bib Shorts Pro Team Summer 7 Hours Italy Interface Padding Bicycle Bibs Short Pants Road Bike Shorts 2025

Ich (172cm, 82cm SL, 71kg) hatte mir die Ykywbike Bib bestellt. Qualität gut, nicht schlechter als meine wesentlich teureren Bibs, das Polster ist super. Insgesamt sehr komfortabel. Aber: Viel zu kurze Beinlänge. Etwa 5cm zu kurz. Dadurch für mich leider nichts. Ich fahre die in Zukunft unter einer ungepolsterten langen Bib im Winter. Auf die Beinlänge habe ich dummerweise nicht geachtet beim Kauf. Ich probiere eine andere Ykywbike Hose aus.

GOLDIX PS-GLAXY 3D Printing Bicycle Carbon Saddle Ultra Light Highway MTB Racing Saddle Bicycle Cushion Bicycle Seat Accessories

I recently tried three different cheap AliX Saddles for my 'somewhat modern progressive forward fit' bike. Each about 40 Euros. One of them might be right for you... Two 3D Printed Selle-SMP Copies: Elita One - 255x140mm-3DEX and GOLDIX PS-GLAXY 3D. I really liked both SMP copies a lot. About as comfy as my old original Selle SMP. But not quite as ugly and way lighter. Ended up keeping the Goldix version as it has a bit wider front an nicer middle channel. Recommend both!

BALUGOE Track Bike Saddle TT Bike Cushion Mountain Bike Road Bike Cushion Universal

I recently tried three different cheap AliX Saddles for my 'somewhat modern progressive forward fit' bike. Each about 40 Euros. One of them might be right for you... And the BALUGOE TT (non carbon version). Dont know which saddle this is a clone of. The TT-Saddle copy was very weird at first and is very short!. After tilting it quite a bit and pushing it very far forward it was pretty good in a aero position, but not nearly as nice in any other position. So I would rather go for the SMP Copies which allowed me to roll and open my hips way better.
