OG-EVKIN CF-026 Review
00:09:45

The reviewer discusses the OG-EVKIN CF-026, a size 54 carbon frame used in their second bike build. They highlight good packaging and support, but note a significant issue with cable routing that led to a crack in the chainstay on their first frame, which was returned. The second frame had minor issues with the seat post slipping and handlebar fitment, but overall, the reviewer finds the stiffness and handling excellent, especially for the price of around 450 euros, and recommends it despite the need for some DIY work.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Well-packaged delivery with no issues
  • Good customer support from the official AliExpress supplier, responding within a day
  • Stiff and quick handling, feels great on asphalt

The reviewer discusses the CRW Works CS Series Road Disc Brake Wheelset, highlighting its impressive finishing and stiffness but also detailing significant quality control issues, particularly with the front hub end caps being undersized, causing a creaking/clunking problem under load.

  • The end caps have a loose fit in the bearing inner race, leading to stick-slip phenomenon.
  • No spare spokes included in the box.

more cons in the video

Key Points

  • Wheelset is 55mm rear, 50mm front depth.
  • Internal rim width is 21mm, external is 28mm.
