Hello, long time lurker but first post here (hi!) I have the Ryet Ultimate carbon saddle, with the (small) EVA padding. I used it for almost two years. I replaced it on my TCR rim with a Ryet Aircode (3D printing). The comfort was good, the 3D-printed one is only marginally better, at the cost of chaffing my bibshort. I am building a new bike (Quick Pro ER One) and with a more compliant bike, with 30mm tyres, I will put back the Ryet Ultimate. At only 112g and nice quality it's a great compromise IMO. I did not notice that it's really a "nose-down" saddle, although I have no issue to sit towards its front end.

I am also 185cm with 86cm inseam riding a size 58 lcr018-d for a few weeks now. I'm using a zero offset post, 120mm stem, and 20mm of spacers. I'm very comfortable on it so far, happy I didn't go with a 56. I like the long and high setup.

Don’t have any photos at the moment, but they are fleece-lined, defo not a 'deep winter' type. I wore them in -5 and they were okay. Tho they are defo not extra windproof, they are best for temps above 0 celsius I would say.

As I mentioned few pages earlier, I can fully recommend these Spexcel Winter bibs. They seem to follow the European sizing. I went with L and they fit great (180 cm, 84 kg). I have both gray and black, great quality for the price.

These are what I have on my bikes. Gold for black bikes and white for white bikes. Easily last 10K km plus. Replace yearly because of sweat.

I used ztto ones that are hollowed out and they fit RD13 hub which is what you probably have in your edge wheelset. I used same ratchets on my yuanan(elite), xmcs and tagoola wheels which also have cross compatible freehubs. I don't think hollow/solid ratched matters as long as you use the provided springs. Make sure you are buying ratchet with 2 springs since a newer dt swiss design (ratchet exp) has only one with the other ratchet screwed into the hub shell

I'm not a big fan of OSPWs, but this 18t offset pulley wheel actually works. It allows bigger cassette sizes while maintaining solid RD shifting. On my eR9 groupset, I'm running a 2x 50-34t chainring + 10-36t XDR 12 speed with this setup and no additional modifications were needed except for swapping out the lower jockey wheel.

I have two of these, white and the organge. They are a blessing for those 30C+ days around here. Its like wearing nothing at all. Been using these last season and absolutely love them. Highly recommend. They also fit true to size. I am 188cm and 77kg and bought Large.

The jersey. I’m impressed. Smallest size fits great, the gripper material on the waist and arms is very nice. Collar isn’t obnoxiously tall old school. Material is nice and stretchy. I ordered white, it’s obviously a little see through. I’ll definitely order the black next time.

Bibs; seem made very well. Material seems a bit thicker than YKYW, Darevie bibs. The legs are long! I’m 5’5” 125lbs and the smallest size fits like a glove perhaps even a little too snug. The ad shows a legit IE pad, in person it looks like a cheap knockoff. I rode about 90 minutes on the trainer with it. It’s not the EI Paris hp from the photos, but it’s not offensive to ride with.

I've been running Goldix cassettes for the last year on several bikes and haven't had any problems with shifting, noise or durability so far. I've now got 2 x 10-36, 2 x 10-33 and have recently added a 12-speed 10-44, which also seems to work flawlessly. I also bought 10-36 and 10-33 Zrace cassettes in 2024 but the shifting is hesitant in some cogs which is not the case the Goldix ones. I'm still using Red cassettes on my best bikes, but these Goldix cassettes are about equal on weight and are proving to be great value for money.

These ones are fine - I have 1431 miles (2300 km) on them. The only issue is when I tried to take the spindle off of the right pedal body, it was on very very very tight. I was unsuccessful, so I'll have to go to more extreme measures when I need to service. So that's a bummer.

Quick update: I have to say I am quite impressed by these. 177g weighted. They are not clogged up with thick grease as the other ones, they spin very freely. Easy to setup. Haven’t tried with OG Shimano cleats, but the provided cleats work very well, they clip easily. Let’s see how they are long term. Will report back

Ich hab für meine Freundin die Tagoola/AeroRaptor AR 50mm Laufräder mit 3.5mm Carbon Speichen bestellt. Erster Eindruck sehr positiv. 1180g ohne Felgenband, 23.5mm IW, DT Swiss Ratchet Klon. Freundin meinte spürbare Verbesserung gegenüber den DT ARC1400. Lieferzeit ca. 1 Monat, umgerechnet etwa 485€. Muss morgen mal nach dem Putzen Fotos machen.

During these latest sales I picked up a Mixed 5D carbon saddle for less than $25. I have to say, I'm quite impressed with it. It fits me a little more comfortably than the last Ryet I picked up (which was a big reason I bought it, because I was a little disappointed in that Ryet). I guess I now have an entire fleet of chinese carbon saddles. If I had to rank them for my personal comfort, this is my ranking: #1 - Ryet X6P (carbon / 3d printed top) [note: I love this saddle. It fits me perfectly and I feel almost no discomfort even after finishing a century] #2 - Mixed 5D (carbon / eva top) #3 - Ryet (idk Superflow?, maybe) (carbon / eva top) #4 - Ryet Aircode (carbon / 3d printed top) I should point out, I've ridden century rides in every single one of those saddles (except the Mixed 5D, since I just rode with it for the first time this weekend). My oldest, the original Ryet Aircode, is the funniest one to me, because I find it rather uncomfortable for short rides. After 10-20miles my butt is a little sore and I would wonder why I hadn't removed it from my bike yet. Then, after 20mi, it just stopped bothering me. Every. Single. Time. I've never experienced anything like that. Of course, I did eventually remove it, because those other ones start out more comfortable and stay more comfortable.
