GOLDIX 22S/20S crank 50-34T/53-39T SRAM road folding bicycle SHIMANOR7000/R8000/5800/6800 wide and narrow sprocket crankset
GuarnituraHave ordered several sets of these. I think 3. Nobody's complained, but one friend is ECSTATIC about the 165mm crank arms, it's transformed his riding for the best. Weight is similar to 105 cranks. Spindle is 24mm / shimano standard. Paid c.28 eur for them, to which you add c.25 for a double chainring.

Lexon GFX
Telaio
Il recensore, Ramon, condivide le sue positive prime impressioni sulla bici da ghiaia Lexon GFX dopo diversi giri. Sottolinea la capacità del telaio in carbonio di assorbire le vibrazioni, la leggerezza (7,4 kg) e la versatilità per terreni misti. Nota un po' di adattamento necessario per la posizione drop bar e il cambio, ma nel complesso è molto soddisfatto delle prestazioni della bici.
Riepilogo IA
Pro
- Il telaio in carbonio assorbe bene le imperfezioni, riducendo le vibrazioni a braccia e fianchi
- Leggero a 7,4 kg, agile e divertente da guidare
- Versatile per terreni misti (asfalto e ghiaia)
più pro nel video
Contro
- Un po' di intorpidimento alle mani, probabilmente dovuto alla presa o alla posizione
- Ancora in fase di adattamento alla posizione drop bar e al cambio STI (invertito rispetto alla MTB)
- Sembra un po' 'carretta' in curva, probabilmente per mancanza di esperienza
più contro nel video
Punti chiave
- Peso bici: 7,4 kg
- Pressione pneumatici utilizzata: 30 PSI anteriore/posteriore su ghiaia, 40 PSI posteriore / 35 PSI anteriore su asfalto
- Corona: 40T, cassetta: 10-? (menziona possibile upgrade a 9-51 in futuro)

Bicycle Hydraulic Disc Brake 4 Piston MTB Brake Caliper IIIPRO E4 Mountain Bike Brake Oil Pressure 800/1550mm Front Rear Brake
Freni a discoI am back from my month long travels. Lets go back in time 5 weeks ago... After my failures to get any of my 3, IIIPro calipers to work on the back of the bike, (Several of the same calipers could be bled on the bench and were working), I took a super careful look at the ferrules on the rear, internally routed, brake line. I could see scrape marks on the ferrules from all the swapping of calipers and lever assemblies. Just for grins, I cut off the existing ferrules , removing the bare minimum of housing, and installed new ferrules and nuts. OMG, I was able to actually bleed the rear brake and started getting decent caliper pressure. I took the bike out for a spin. Yuck! no stopping power. Brought the bike back in, sanded off the rotor braking surfaces, took the bike outside again - better, but not excellent stopping power. I was running out of time to get this bike working before my trip. For shits and giggles, I installed the caliper that I had rebuilt and installed new seals. See previous posts I bled the rear brake assemblies again, moving all the parts in multiple positions, tapping the lines, to try to get every last bubble out. Then... WOW! the brake lever feel and caliper movement was fantastic!!! Took the bike out for a spin and the rear brake stopping power felt fantastic! I decided to take a risk and use the bike on my planned 500+ mile bike camping/packing ride. Guess what! Brakes worked perfectly for the complete ride. Riding through, rain, mud, dust, across creeks, bogs, wet tall grass.... No problems. Maybe they can be trusted....

Bigrock Carbon Crank 24mm For Sram Cranks
GuarnituraInstalled on a Tarmac SL8. No spacers, re-used the Ultegra chainrings and no adjustment needed at all. Packaging was good, not a fan of the graphics but couldn't bring myself to sand them off (just yet). Carbon weave looks great. Spider is plain and simple and would have been much nicer if it was a decorative spider that matches the look of the Shimano rings. No instructions. I torqued the 3 bolts to 6.5nm. Please let me know if this is too much, or too little, thanks!

ELITA ONE Carbon fiber seat tube Parts Seat post carbon Parts
ReggisellaIn my opinion This is the absolute best bang for the buck! I use these saddle yokes and this 'seatpost base rail thingy' on all my bikes for 4 years, both road, mtb and gravel with zero issues. I do not use Elite seatpost, only the hardware!! Okay, the yokes could definitely be machined more precise/engineered better. But never once has the carbon cracked or the yoke broke in half. Screws are top notch too, but wrong color so I use rainbow Risk titanium instead. 20 bucks... I have multiple sets as spare too just in case.

1pc j & l Carbon Gabel lenkrohr Expander/Kompression stopfen-ein Zoll 25,4mm 1-1/2
Serie sterzo & DistanzialiI bought the J&L one for my SL8 and just couldn't bring myself to use it. It looks cheap, feels even cheaper as it's got sharp edges and what's even worse, a standard top cap bolt will not screw all the way through it (IE: you will need a much shorter top cap bolt to use this expander). In the parts bin it went.

Elitewheels ENT 2.0
Ruote
Il recensore utilizza le ruote in carbonio ELITEWHEELS ENT 2.0 da circa 12 mesi e le raccomanda vivamente. Inizialmente le ha acquistate a 315 dollari dopo uno sconto, considerandole un valore per denaro incredibile. Le ruote sono elogiate per le loro prestazioni, con miglioramenti evidenti nella qualità di guida, reattività ed estetica rispetto alle ruote in alluminio standard. Il recensore sottolinea gli aggiornamenti delle ruote, tra cui l'aumento dell'efficienza di trasmissione della ruota posteriore, il design del mozzo migliorato e la maggiore rigidità laterale. Dopo un anno di utilizzo, le ruote rimangono reattive e stabili, con problemi minimi dai venti laterali. Il recensore menziona anche il branding sottile e l'appeal estetico delle ruote. Confronta le ENT 2.0 con le più costose Elite Wheels Edge 2.0, notando il compromesso tra peso e costo. Il recensore conclude che queste ruote sono il suo aggiornamento preferito e offrono un valore per denaro incredibile.

Elitaone 245x139mm MTB Road Bike Saddle Carbon Rails Short Nose Hollow Bicycle Seat for Comfortable Riding
SellaI've got nearly a year and 5000 miles on my Mixed 5d saddle now. Still loving it. Put a second one on my road bicycle. Have spent a dozen 6-8 hour days in the saddle, over a dozen 3 hour trainer/rollers sessions too. Saddle is always comfy.

Elitaone 245x139mm MTB Road Bike Saddle Carbon Rails Short Nose Hollow Bicycle Seat for Comfortable Riding
SellaI picked up one of these saddles a couple weeks back and have a few good rides on it. I'm extremely happy with it so far. The nylon shell flexes more than my other saddles and adds a significant amount of comfort. Maybe not for everyone but if you're in the 135 to 140 saddle width range, it's worth the $15 trial.

Magicshine SEEMEE 300
LuciIt was $37 on a sale. OK size and weight, really good battery life. EXTREMELY bright on high and adds a nice aroura around you on the ground at night. Like, its REALLY bright on daytime high, you'll get comments about it on group rides. I just leave it on high daytime mode to use the lights obnoxiousness as an excuse to sit on the back of pace line during group rides that are going a bit fast for my fitness. If you don't want to pony up for radar, this is probably the next best thing. It has an internal accelerometer so it senses braking and big bounces and lights up very bright and steady.

Luci^^ On the subject of lights, I'm running these and have been very happy with them. They've survived rain and snow, commuting, gravel rides and races and all the general abuse of being on the bike 24/7 for close to a year.

Trustfire D2R
LuciSmall, bright. 3 modes; low, high, and flash. My first one I ordered nearly a year ago for $14, the second ordered a couple months back was $20. They run about 2+ hours on high and 4+ish? on low. I liked the first one so much I grabbed a second one and I just toss it in a pocket during long night rides and swap them out on the fly while i'm rolling along. The mount isn't an exact GoPro mount, it takes some fiddling, I spent a little time with a file making one of my mounts fit just right.
