LFZ Radfahren Fahrradpedal selbstsperrende Rennradpedale 3-Lager ultraleichte Titaniun-Achse Carbon-Körper Klicklose SPD-Stollen R900
PedalsI have a pair of LFZ titanium spindle pedals. They seem well made and I am more than happy so far. The feel clicking in and out is very comparable to Shimano pedals, I would almost call it the same. I have only used them for ~1000 km so far, so no comment on durability.

XMCS CS-GDW53-41 Gravel
WheelsHi all, I’ve completed my first rides on the wheels – about 200 km in total. Unfortunately, my last outing ended in a self-inflicted crash, so here’s just a quick update before I post a full review once I’m back on the bike. Roughly half of the distance was on tarmac, the other half on light gravel (what we’d call “forest Autobahn” in Germany), with only a few short singletrack sections. So far, no major climbs or descents and no technically challenging trails – that part is still to come. pros • The wheels accelerate well and hold speed efficiently • Hubs and bearings run extremely smooth • Freehub engagement is flawless so far • Tubeless setup was easy and air retention has been excellent • Possibly due to the titanium spokes, there seems to be better damping of small vibrations from the surface • Aesthetics are great – they look as good as they ride neutral / learnings • Due to the wide internal rim width, tire pressure can and should be set significantly lower compared to my previous 23 mm internal rims • The wheels act as a large resonance chamber and brake noises can be noticeably louder cons • With the tall, lightweight rims combined with high-volume tires, cross-wind sensitivity is noticeable • They tempt you to ride faster than you probably should
