Ja, zB die ENT. Hab ich seit 1,5 Jahren ohne Probleme in Betrieb. Zusätzlich habe ich Endcaps für den Umbau auf Steckachse mitgeordert.

For tubeless gravel I'd go hookless! I much prefer the squared tire profile of a hookless rim. Handling-wise it just feels stiffer on cornering and I can push harder on the turns. You'll never run 45c tires beyond 40psi. Mounting a gravel tire onto a hookless rim is even harder than a hooked rim. Unless you're doing 30 foot plus hard drops, that tire will never come off. Even with wide internal width rim, a hooked rim will still have a bulbous tire profile. Road is a different matter, but for wide profile gravel tires I think hookless is great.

Habe mit diesem Ullicyc Lenker in 36 cm M-M einen UCI-legalen Aufbau und bin damit letzte Woche 800 km/20000 Hm gefahren – ging gut, griff sich gut, und aero ist nun halt wie es die UCI will...

I settled in using only the QD-1301 after testing numerous lights I purchased off of Aliexpress. (Numerous <$20 lights), plus the ones the posted in the first text. I ended up not using the M3 for Bikepacking. I occasionally use the M3 on XC night rides when friends talk me into night riding local trails.

I have their cheapest wheels with XDR hubs on my BMC. Zero issues for I would guess 12K km or so. Just be sure to grease everything up properly as they come dry from factory.

Couple of saddle that I would highly recommend. This Goldix <---- another copy of a power saddle that just fits. And this ElitaOne <--------- extremely good copy of the Selle Italia. I sold my original 3D printed one and got 3 of these plus I have money left over. VERY highly recommend.

I received Shimano compatible SUMC flattop chains and so far I'm impressed. The packaging is premium, I really like how the chains look on the bike. I did a couple of rides so far and the chains are somehow super quiet with a ZTTO ultimate cassette. I used shimano chains with those cassettes and the noise was unbearable, KMC was much better but SUMC is next level quiet. I use it with a newest generation of the Ultimate cassette so the new cassette design might also help. Can't comment on the durability, will see if it lasts. Buying these chains does not make a lot of sense though unless you really want flattop with a non-sram drivetrain since these chains are very expensive.

Got this long sleeve mesh layer for colder temperatures and it works well. Colder is for -15 to + 5 centigrades with one or two layers on top. My chest has a 102cm circumference and I am 193cm tall. Was unsure about the sizing here (I have a sleeveless version one size smaller which is a bit too tight). This one in 2XL/3XL works well. Arms could be a bit tighter. Arms are nicely long. Torso could be a bit shorter (!) but this way it also works as a hiking and skiing undergarment.

Fahre übrigens gerade den ULLICYC T1000 road handlebar in 360 mm – finde ich auch sehr gut, Qualität ist klasse – muss aber ohnehin wieder umbauen und da ich nun weiss, dass die Geo passt kann ich auch ein cockpit ran bauen;-)

I noticed there wasn't a topic for this saddle yet, and I fully understand why. It is One of the most expensive AliX saddles. That said, after owning one for about 6 months, I figured it's time to share some thoughts because it's a brilliant saddle. For the sake of this short review post, I am going to compare it to three similar short saddles that I have: the Specialized SWorks Power Mimic (not 3d printed), the Fizik Vento Argo Adaptive R1, and the Syncros Belcara TT. I have other saddles, including some unpadded ones, but these are probably similar to what folks looking for a short saddle they can slam forward to get into a TT position on a road bike are looking for. The shell of this saddle is really hard, and the padding is extremely stiff. The 3D-printed padding is much firmer than that of any other saddle. The texture of the 3d printing provides a medium grip. It's about as grippy as the Fizik but less than the Syncros. Setting up the saddle, i expected it to be a bad experience. Luckily for me, the shape of this saddle really works for me. The saddle itself is flat and wide, going out to 132 mm. It's also extremely short: while it is 240mm long, the extended carbon "tail" means that it's really closer to 220mm saddle. Sort of similar to the actual seating area on a Selle SMP Well the saddle's usable sitting area ends at a taper of around 55mm. Unlike the SMP, Fizik, and Syncros saddles mentioned, it's much flatter, more like the power. However, it more or less lacks the nose of that saddle, so if you liked the Power but battled numbness even with the softer-nosed mimic, this saddle could be for you. I previously also preferred the channel approach of the Fizik Antares Vs. Evo Adaptive saddle, which this saddle also offers, creating another respite for those of us who worry about numbness on long rides. It is also worth noting that while this saddle has very long rails the actual area indicated for clamping seems to only allow you to move forward 5-8mm vs. other short saddles. So it's something, but not as much as you might think looking at a profile of the saddle. Of course, you can always try to use that extra rail. I probably will. I would love to see a V2 of this saddle with slightly softer padding and extending the clamping area enough to fully jam the saddle forward. That said, this current version is going on my gravel race rig 2026. In my opinion, if you are looking for a short saddle for a forward position and can get this one for a reasonable price, it might be worth a try.

This is a great repair stand. You can't beat it for the price imo. It makes working on both sides of the bike so easy, and I really like not having to clamp the frame or seatpost. Out of the box it's only compatible with quick release bikes, but with a quick mod I can now mount thru axles. I used one of these along with a piece of masking tape to make a tight fit:

I have recently decided to try out heat training, but I wanted to avoid paying an absolute fortune for the CORE body temperature sensor. I instead decided to give this a go: It is IP22 certified against water and dust, but I can also certify it against heavy sweating, at least after a few sessions. The app that is promoted with the product requires creating an account, and for some reason syncs everything to the cloud; I instead recommend using the Tempal app. The only problem I currently have is figuring out how to securely attach it to my armpit. I am using the heart rate monitor strap for now, but it only works as long as I am not moving too much. I also just ordered an elastic hand band, which is going to take some time to arrive, but I think it should work much better. In the meantime, do you have any DIY ideas for how to attach the thermometer securely to my armpit?

I already have them installed on my bike. I removed the rim strip and installed tubeless tape. The weights shown in the photos are with tubeless tape. So far I’m very happy with them; from the little I’ve been able to test, they are very stiff wheels, with incredible lateral stiffness. I love how they respond during accelerations.
