Purchased: 2025-08-30

The shorts are impressive too - one cargo pocket, high quality straps, good quality lycra, good grippers, nicely cut legs. Padding is fine for at least 3-4 hours but haven't tested any more yet. If you're tall, you might find the legs a bit short, but I'd say mine are good for ~175cm and below. Two really good pieces from Rockbros, not something I really expected but sometimes you take a shot in the dark and get lucky.

I've tried numerous top tube bags and the best I've found is this one which is 1L and only 5cm wide. It's got a strap or bolt on option and has a sturdy magnetic clip. It's seems to be a common model which is produced under many brands - I think West bike was the cheapest for me from the coins page. There's a couple of bolt mounting positions and the forward position will minimise the gap which is fine for me, but not sure if it's acceptable to you.

XM Carbon Speed Carbon Cranks - Titanium 24mm Shimano Spindle!

The reviewer presents a new product from XM Carbon Speed, a set of carbon cranks featuring a 24mm titanium spindle designed for Shimano drivetrains. They highlight its key features, including the titanium spindle for added strength and weight savings, the use of a Shimano-compatible standard instead of the more common SRAM DUB, and its in-house design. The reviewer provides the weight (343g), compares it favorably to a Shimano 105 alloy crank (565g), and details its price ($340 USD), available lengths (170mm, 165mm, 155mm), and included accessories like spacers and pre-applied thread lock.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Uses a 24mm spindle for Shimano compatibility
  • Features a titanium spindle for added strength
  • Titanium spindle is lighter than an alloy one

Cons

  • Price is higher than the 29mm alloy spindle version
  • Limited crank arm length options (no 172.5mm or 150mm)

I use one of these adapters to move the top tube bag further forwards. A nice bonus of using the adapter is that the bag doesn't touch the frame, so no risk of paint being rubbed off.
