Magicshine EVO 1700
LightsHabe die SL Mono, war ein Fehlkauf, weil der Akku nicht das hält, was er verspricht. Er ist klein und hält nur etwas über 3 Stunden, regelt dann runter. Die SL Grano ist fast baugleich zur SL Mono und dürfte einen ähnlich schwachen Akku haben. Ich habe mir danach die Magicshine Evo 1700 gekauft, hat zwar keine StVZO Zulassung, aber einen klaren Cutoff, der Akku ist ordentlich. Du kannst sogar per App die Helligkeit frei einstellen, um noch länger zu fahren. Der Mount ist für Gopro, bei Ali kannst Du auch Garmin Mounts nachkaufen. Der Garmin Mount ist praktischer, weil man die Lampen dann schnell abmachen kann. Die Magicshine Hori 1300 ist etwas kleiner und vom Formfaktor besser. Ansonsten ähnlich gut mit Cutoff wie die Evo 1700.

ThinkRider PP5 Power Meter Spider & Carbon Crankset
PowermeterI have a PP5, but it kinda sucks. I've already updated the FW several times, but there are still weird bugs. For example if I let it sit for too long, it just stops recording ride data. Also it has weird speed spikes if I pedal abruptly. I'd definitely consider getting something else. The PP6 needs to have eliminated all those issues for me to even consider getting one. Though I did get mine for really cheap including the crankset, and it's the only reason I'm still tolerating it.

ThinkRider PP5 Power Meter Spider & Carbon Crankset
PowermeterI'm still using my PP5 for now alongside a range of PMs on other bikes deemed to be reliable by the masses and still very happy with its accuracy for the usage I give it i.e. I don't tend to sprint in the middle of my rides then go to steady state. I appreciate for some peoples training regimes (if you did something like microbursts) this would be a killer. But there is absolutely no way I would swap it for any single sided PM by anyone.

KOCEVLO Seatpost Clamp 31.8/34.9mm Aluminium alloy Seat Tube Clamp ultralight 9g Screw
SeatpostAfter breaking two Kocevlo and one Elita One carbon seat-post clamps - It's not my fault! - here's my latest attempt to trim weight without finishing each ride seated at balance bike level. I present the Kocevlo 'Ultralight 7g Aluminium Alloy Bicycle Seatpost Clamp With Titanium Screw'. It doesn't share the two carbon clamp designs' failing: a flat nut biting into a curved and/or obliquely angled carbon surface. And it's already comfortably outlasted its predecessors. This Kocevlo aluminium clamp has now done around 5000km and is still fine.

SPEXCEL EON Spring Summer Light Long Sleeve Cycling Jerseys Aero Fit Quick Dry and Breathable Fabric
Jerseyfor a thin long sleeve, I like this SPEXCEL one. I got the purple in L for a tight aero fit (186 cm, 80 kg). The arms are long enough. Could have also gone with the XL.

SPEXCEL SPC LAB New PRO Winter Thermal Fleece Cycling Jerseys Long sleeve Race Fit Nylon thermal fabric Warm and breathable man
JerseyVery happy with this one from Spexcel I got last year. Not red at all, more a dark orange terracotta. Photos in the reviews are more accurate. I'm 184cm/78-80kg and XL is the right size. The chocolate brown one sold out super fast last year so might have to get one of those for autumn/winter 2026. It's lined with brushed fabric so not just a summer jersey with long sleeves. Thermal gilet over the top for winter rides, thin wind breaker gilet for autumn morning outings.

Road Bike Chainrings Set 2x12 speed Round for 110 BCD Shimano Asymmetric with Aero Cover R9200 8100 7100
ChainringRecently I pick up these aero 50-34t chainrings because my Shimano chainrings were too outboard causing very minor FD rub. Good shifting and less outboard positioning on the crankset. The teeth were slightly more taller, so I needed to raise my FD by about 1-2mm. Besides that, they're solid.

XMCS T1100 26IW 16/18H Carbon Spoke
WheelsI got them in September of last year. I have a set of the ultra light rims with 16 and 18 carbon spokes. I’ve ridden them on rough trails, bombed then down mountains, and packed them tight in bike boxes to fly. No issues. Still true. The layup is thin. You can squish it on the sides with your hand. However, in the vertical plane, they are incredibly stiff and sturdy. The tension on the spokes is very tight, and pulling the layup at an angle. I’m not surprised it deforms the inside of the rim a bit. I’m not very concerned about anything catastrophic, and I’d guess Peter would take care of me if I had a problem due to an engineering or manufacturing issue

RYET RT06S
SaddleSo, I also tried the Ryet Aircode, RT03 and RT06s with 3D-printed cushioning. The Aircode and RT06 weren't for me in terms of fit; I rode the RT03 (style clone of Specialized Romin EVO Pro) for about three months. In general, all three are very good quality, and I would recommend them. For a while, I thought I needed a 3D-printed cushion. And it is comfortable indeed, but especially on longer rides, the 3D-printed top layer has some disadvantages. Namely, your bib tends to stick more to the saddle, which a) puts more stress on the bib fabric and b) creates more rubbing between the bib and your skin.

XMCS T1100 UL 26IW Ultralite
WheelsAnyone else have this wobble "issue" with their wheel? In the bike. same wheel in my truing stand. These are new wheels, has about 60 miles on them. After the first ride I checked the wheels and found this wobble, it's on the front wheel only and the rear appears to be fine. What's odd is the wheel is still true, and the spokes tension is still even and consistent, only the inner part of the wheel has this wobble. I spoke to Peter and he said it's normal. He mentioned because of the ultralight carbon layup, the spokes can pull and deform the carbon to make this wobble. Wheel model is D58CU-33 26mm IW T1100 with HS606 hubs and 3.2mm carbon spokes. Weight is 1165g. System weight is about 75kg. You guys have any thoughts on this and does anyone else have this issue on their wheel?? Also, why doesn't the rear wheel have this issue as well? Peter told me to post in the forum as others have mentioned this? where?

ELITEWHEELS AERO+ GRAVEL
WheelsSind beide tiptop verarbeitet und zumindest bei meinen 70-73 kg absolut steif und stabil. Die Aero+ sind schon fast ein bisschen zu breit: Mein Rahmen geht offiziell bis 45 mm, 40er Caracal Race bauen darauf 46 mm breit (passt auch problemlos), aber die haben dadurch eine sehr steile Reifenflanke und es ist dann ein ganz schmaler Grat um einen passenden Luftdruck zu finden der dem Reifen noch eine Rest an Komfort gewährt - das ist dann mein LR-Satz für Rennen. Der Gravel SLR ist da eigentlich etwas schöner im Umgang, 40er Tufo sind ca. 41,5 mm breit und durch die leicht bauchigere Form können sich die Flanken auch noch bewegen. Man kann viel besser mit dem Luftdruck spielen und das Rad solo oder mit Gepäck richtig schön komfortabel einstellen. Das ginge mit dem Aero+ natürlich auch, wenn man breitere Reifen aufzieht, aber dann muss der Rahmen auch >50 mm Platz haben.

Avenger SL Shuttle
FrameFor sure you should consider the Avenger Shuttle SL! I know that the style is quite different, but they have their own painting pattern, you can choose your own. This year they also provided Ultralight version, even lighter than mine. In general, great frameset, great bike! I have it since last year, I rode on it several events, in the mountains, and also on flats. No issues at all, stiff, good handling and very light. Mine is 6.1 kg in size 58 in 1x12 SRAM mixed setup. At the moment for flats I have 50t on the front and 10-36 on the back. For serious mountains 44t and 10-44 garbaruk cassette. For event which I did last year I had 46t. Very soon I will have another Avenger, the R8-RS, I/ swapping my Elves EXP, it's too low for me. If you want I should still have 100 USD discount code.

ROCKBROS Bike Glasses Polarized Men Women Bicycle Glasses 4Lens MTB Road Cycling Eyewear Glasses With Myopia Frame Sunglasses
GlassesI bought some of these recently. Good at resisting fogging, good to see through. Very functional for me. I am not rushing out to buy some name brand glasses at 10 times the price when these work so well.

Hiking Hydration Running Backpack Men 5L Camping With Water Bottle MTB Cycling Backpacks Men's Breathable Marathon Bag Equipment
BagsI have had one of these for about 3 years. The front strap pockets are super convenient for carrying a phone on one side and a couple snacks/plug kit in the other. Its not obnoxiously large but it carries a pretty good amount of stuff and you can fold up discarded layers or pick up trail finds in the mesh net that folds up into the hideaway pocket on the back bottom.

RYET 3D Printed Carbon Saddle
SaddleYea been riding it for a few weeks now. I must say i am impressed. The 3D is indeed much better than on the older AliExpress models i own. Different densities and no so harsh on the bibs. Never ridden the new Spesh power though so i can't compare the 2.
