yes i had both. the 028 is more premium build (boa style lock is better e.g.). I prefer the 028

I have shoes from sidebike (model 028) with carbon soles und 2 boa style mechanism. Im happy with the shoes especially as i only paid 130 Euro for them. I wanted to buy a pair this summer from santic but ther prices double and are nor more interesting. Last year the shoe i wanted was sold for 145 with coupouns and now it costs 288 . So at the moment i'd rather go with sidebike.

Die Spedaos (vormals Sroad) funktionieren bei einigen hier sehr gut. Meine eine, die noch im Betrieb ist, ist jetzt 8000km gelaufen. Die Beschichtung ist selbstverständlich an den Kontaktstellen zur Kette nicht mehr wie neu. Aber noch geht alles gut, bin jetzt bei Kette #2 mit der Kassette. Bin gespannt ob Kette 3 dann auch noch gut geht. Ich hatte insgesamt 3 Kassetten: Die zweite ist wegen Umbau auf 12sp gerade im Lager, lief aber bestimmt auch 5000km unproblematisch bei jedem Mistwetter. Die dritte hatte ich samt Rad verkauft und keine Beschwerden mitbekommen.

Ich habe mir bei Ali dieses Langarmtrikot in coral gekauft und bin von der Qualität positiv überrascht. Das ist der erste Kauf von Bekleidung bei Ali. Ich sehe keinerlei Unterschiede zu meinen anderen Trikots von Castelli, Q36.5 und Gobik. Größenangabe von Ali passt auch (EU Größe eine Nummer größer als asiatische Größe)

I have both in black, ZTTO (11-32, new Gen3) and Goldix (11-34) for 12sp. Functionaly - shifting on 1x - they are both great. However on ZTTO I have noticed slight discoloring on teeths after like 300kms, really small thing. Goldix is little heavier (246 vs 139), but after 565kms looks still like a new.

I have 4,500km on my Goldix 12 speed 11-34 and it is faultless so far.

I first level the bike by putting it on the turbo and using a level across both axles. I then set a laser level up, ensuring it's square to the bike by making sure bb centre and pedal centres top and bottom all line up. Then use a cheap Ali express seat height measuring tool to measure from that to a consistent reference point. I've found this to be infinitely more repeatable than using a plumb line, which could be poor technique but none of my bikes have a clean line down from any part of the saddle past the bb, then you have variation of picking centre point etc.

I bought this steel cassette 2x11 from AliExpress and it lasted around 1500 km before it started skipping on the third cog. I took very good care of it and cleaned it almost after every long training ride. To be fair, I had no issues with shifting performance at all, and personally the slightly louder noise compared to Shimano didn't bother me. But honestly, I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on it. And this is coming from a rider averaging around 190W during training rides, so I can only imagine how long it would last for stronger riders putting down bigger power.

I have elite gravel aero+ wheels with 32 internal and 40 external. Around 3k km put into them already, so far, flawless. I ride everything from road to mtb single tracks, survived even Santa Val stage one, sadly seatpost broke on stage 2 lol. After all these kilometers they are still straight as new. 50mm schwalbe g one rx pro tyres blow up to 53mm on them, so be careful if you're riding on clearance limits of your frame. Can't really comment on any downsides as I didn't find them yet, they are light and stiff.

I have this one in Asian Sizes-L. 188cm and 77kg. Love it. Great race cut fit and has perforated back so it breaths a bit and its not just a plastic sack. Packs real small and the dual zipper is an AMAZING idea for these.

I've put nearly 3k km on the road and the same again on the turbo with my weight between 120kg and 100kg on one of these and it's still intact and comfortable. Ryet RT03 3d printed

Meine Gravel ENT in 45 mm haben jetzt die ersten 400 km feinsten Trail- und Gravel-Spaß hinter sich – absolute Empfehlung. Anfangs war ich noch unsicher, ob die Gravel Aero+ vielleicht doch die sinnvollere Wahl wären, aber für den Aufpreis sehe ich persönlich keinen echten Mehrwert. Ich fahre sie aktuell in Kombination mit 45er Reifen von Vittoria, und das Setup funktioniert für mich richtig gut. Egal ob auf technischen Singletrails oder mit 60 km/h über die Schotterpiste – das Fahrverhalten ist einfach überragend. Facts zu mir: 190cm groß und ca.90kg fahr fertig.

Second followup: I think I put about 3000 more miles on the shoes, did a lot of virtual riding over the past winter. The shoes are still doing great. My only issue is that the plastic coating on the ATOP closure wire was wearing off the top wire where it entered the ratchet (both shoes). The plastic would get jammed in the ratchet system and sometimes wouldn't open without a lot of force. I ended up cutting the plastic off for that section and it has been fine since. I did order a replacement set of wires in case they fray or break. I may end up buying a spare ratchet as well. The parts are pretty inexpensive. So still factoring those in you really can't beat the price.

This one is actually a jersey I ride quite a lot. It fits fine, fabric is quite ok and it drapes well. Pockets are good and don’t sag. Arms are a bit short again (I’m also very tall) but overall quite nice. Just not short sleeve which I am looking for as temperatures are creeping up!

Hi guys thought I'd post my experience with BIKEDOC DX28 Carbon Disc Wheel trading as Synergy (Xiamen) Import and Export Co as there are not many modern disc wheel designs for rim brake bikes around. I contacted a few different manufacturers/sellers and settled on BIKEDOC as they have some good reviews and designs. The lady I dealt with was Menly who was very helpful and was able to provide specs close to what I requested. I did want their FB01 31mm toroidal shape which was my request but this could only be built as disc brake only so I settled on the DX28 which is rim brake compatible. So full specs as follows: Depth Solid disc wheel toroidal design Rim width outer 28mm Internal 22mm Widest point 29 mm (toroid). Engraved brake track Specified weight ~1050g Measured weight 1023g I chose their standard hub which spins fine and still smooth. Finish is very nice in the matt UD and there are also nice seals on the hub end caps which I know some hubs don't have. I haven't noticed any issues with runout and everything still appears very true. The wheel seems solid/stiff and the ratchet is loud! So far I've ridden 2 x 90k tt, 1 x 80k tt, 40km TT plus 80km or so warmup and the wheel has held up well and still like new. Feels very fast with the conti GP5000 S TR and TT TR 28c tire set up as tubeless and running ~67psi, S TR measures ~30mm and TT TR measures ~31mm. So arguably the S TR is a little more aero on this wheel. I was first in my age group off the bike in IM70.3 Melbourne on a windy course so the wheel is definitely fast as I am no power house on the bike. If I change up to a disc brake TT bike I will be definitely contacting them again as these wheels are great value and fit for purpose. I definitely recommend you contact them if you are on a budget.
