Frame
Flyxii FE-02 Build

The Flyxii FE-02 is a budget-friendly carbon gravel frameset purchased primarily through AliExpress, with prices ranging from $300-$483 shipped. It features a BSA bottom bracket, standard cable routing (not proprietary), and comes with frame, fork, axles, headset, spare hanger, and seatpost clamp. Users report it accommodates tires up to 700x50mm (approximately 52mm measured) or 650b x 54mm, with toe overlap noted as an issue especially with larger tires and 175mm cranks. The frame is described as durable and stable for gravel riding, though some note rear flex when pedaling out of the saddle. Builds commonly use components like LTwoo GR9 groupsets, Senicx cranksets, and various carbon parts from brands like Toseek and ZNIINO.

AI Summary

  • Durable frame construction with good build quality and no major issues reported over thousands of miles
  • Good tire clearance up to 700x50mm or 650b x 54mm, suitable for varied terrain

SPARTS bicycle disc brake titanium screw for shimano R9270 brake system titanium bolt nut

SPARTS bicycle disc brake titanium screw for shimano R9270 brake system titanium bolt nut

Screws
How Much Weight Can Titanium Bolts Really Save?
00:16:29

The reviewer does not specifically mention the 'SPARTS bicycle disc brake titanium screw for shimano R9270 brake system titanium bolt nut' as a distinct, named product. The transcript discusses a general 'S parts titanium bolts' kit designed for a Dura Ace Di2 groupset, which includes various bolts for components like brake calipers, derailleurs, and shifters. The reviewer installs and weighs these bolts throughout the video, focusing on weight savings and durability compared to stock Shimano hardware.

AI Summary

Pros

  • The titanium bolts for brake caliper mounts offer a 'massive' or 'huge' weight saving (e.g., stock 13.9g vs. S parts 6.1g).
  • Titanium is 'significantly stronger than aluminium' and 'more corrosion resistant', making bolts less likely to seize or round out.
  • For certain parts, like the front mech bolt, the S parts kit is specifically designed for Dura Ace, providing the 'perfect size' where generic titanium bolts might be too long.

more pros in the video

Cons

  • For parts where Dura Ace already uses aluminium, swapping to titanium can actually increase weight (e.g., rear derailleur B-bolt: stock 3.0g vs. S parts 4.1g; pad pin: stock 0.7g vs. S parts 1.0g).
  • The overall weight saving from the full titanium overhaul is minimal (estimated 30-40 grams), which is within the margin of error of the scales.
  • The cost is high ('nearly 100 quid'), making it hard to justify for weight savings alone.

more cons in the video

Key Points

  • The reviewer used an 'S parts titanium bolts' kit designed for Dura Ace Di2.
  • The main weight savings come from replacing steel bolts, not aluminium ones.
  • The most significant weight savings were found on the brake caliper mounting bolts.

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

OSPW
How Good Is The Aliexpress OSPW (Ceramicspeed?)
00:04:01

The reviewer discusses an AliExpress OSPW (Oversized Pulley Wheel) system, which is a generic or unbranded alternative to the Ceramic Speed OSPW. They installed it on a Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed rear derailleur with an 11-speed chainring. They state the shifting is smooth, the transmission works smoothly and freely, and the part feels high quality and spins nicely. Installation was easy by following the original Ceramic Speed tutorial. The only issue was a small gap causing chain rub in extreme cross-chaining (big-big gear). They note it is a stylish, closed jockey wheel design that actively removes debris.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Shifting is really smooth
  • The whole transmission works smoothly and freely
  • Feels really nice and high quality in the hand

more pros in the video

Cons

  • Had a small gap between the chain and inner plate causing rubbing in extreme cross-chaining (big chainring and big rear cog)
  • Lacks the quality control, warranty, and support of a brand like Ceramic Speed
  • Uncertain what quality the ceramic bearings are or how long they will last

more cons in the video

Key Points

  • Installed on a Shimano Dura-Ace 12-speed transmission
  • Used with an 11-speed chainring without issue
  • Closed jockey wheel design

Cassette
The BEST cassette on AliExpress!
00:01:55

The reviewer analyzes a super lightweight cassette from AliExpress, which is the ZTTO Ultimate model. They describe its unique two-piece construction, with the front sprockets milled from a single block of steel and the rear sprockets milled from a single block of aluminum, pinned together to save weight. They weigh it at 122g and compare it to a heavier, standard 11-34t steel cassette. They note they have used an identical gold version for about 1,000 miles, showing visible wear on the aluminum teeth but with shifting still perfect. They caution that durability is a trade-off, as the aluminum teeth will wear quickly if used frequently in hilly terrain. They mention the price has dropped since launch, and they purchased it for just over 60 pounds.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight (122g)
  • Unique, weight-saving two-piece construction
  • Shifting performance remains perfect even after 1,000 miles of use

more pros in the video

Cons

  • Aluminum rear sprockets are softer than steel chains and show visible wear
  • Durability is a concern, especially in hilly areas where the larger aluminum cogs are used frequently
  • Will wear through quite quickly if used often in hilly terrain

Key Points

  • Latest generation super lightweight cassette from AliExpress
  • Construction: front sprockets are a single milled steel block, rear sprockets are a single milled aluminum block
  • The two pieces are pinned together

Giving these wheels a second chance - Velo Six II
00:15:10

The reviewer tests and reviews the Elitewheels Velo Six II (Vevel 6 version two) wheel set. He states that the primary issue with the original version was poor lateral stiffness, which has been significantly improved in version two, making it nearly three times as stiff without added weight. The wheels are one-piece carbon, 50mm deep, with a 21mm internal width, weighing 1628g. They are designed for triathlon and road riding, offering high aerodynamic performance, a very stiff and responsive ride, and a distinctive, loud freehub sound. However, the ride is harsh on rough roads, and they are susceptible to crosswinds. The reviewer has ridden them for over six months and praises the bearing durability and anodized aluminum axle. They are not UCI-legal for road races.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Looks great and is a head-turner
  • Significantly improved lateral stiffness in version two (nearly 3x stiffer than original)
  • No weight increase despite stiffness improvement

more pros in the video

Cons

  • Lateral stiffness was a major issue in the original version
  • Ride is harsh on rough roads due to zero vertical compliance
  • Catches crosswinds due to large side profile, which can be unnerving

more cons in the video

Key Points

  • Model: Elitewheels Velo Six II (Vevel 6 version two)
  • Cost: $1300 / ~£950 (with 15% discount available)
  • Weight: 1628g for the pair
