8Lien L4 Disc Carbon Wheelset
Ruote
Il recensore discute il 8Lien L4 Disc Carbon Wheelset come un wheelset di alta qualità e versatile con un profilo differenziato (40mm anteriore, 45mm posteriore) e raggi in carbonio. Nota che è stato utilizzato per sei mesi sul suo SL8 e dal ciclista professionista Francesco Parravano, che ha vinto una gara importante con essi. Il recensore ne elogia le prestazioni, la rigidità, il comfort e la resistenza ai venti trasversali, e sottolinea la focalizzazione del marchio esclusivamente sulle ruote e l'uso di fibre di carbonio di alto livello. Lo considera un wheelset di alto livello che compete con marchi europei più famosi, offrendo un eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo.

- Un certo scetticismo iniziale da parte del pubblico per il fatto che sia un marchio cinese
- I ciclisti italiani medi possono avere difficoltà ad accettare marchi nuovi e meno conosciuti
- I raggi in carbonio sono talvolta percepiti come più delicati, anche se il recensore non è d'accordo

- Profilo differenziato: 40mm anteriore, 45mm posteriore
- Inserti in fibra di carbonio da 4mm

Colourful Safety Light
LuciI also had a few of these really cheap led lights you see everywhere on Ali. They actually work well and are bright enough to be functional

Seatpost Tail Light
LuciI used one of these for years. Good light. Not as bright as the new cob designs but enough.

Clip-On Tail Light
LuciThese are good imo. Ok build quality, good brightness and a slightly longer battery life than the other similar shape i tried.

BIKEONO Front and Rear Light Set
LuciI bought an older version of this in 2019 and have been using it ever since. Battery is only 2000mah and mine doesn't last as long as it did but it's been a solid light that is just bright enough to use as illumination, though it's borderline imo and doesn't keep up with lights that are actually designed as headlights such as what you'd see for mtb night riding. Supposed to be 1000 lumens. It is bright enough to illicit complaints from approaching riders and pedestrians so needs to be aimed downwards a few meters in front of you or you'll get yelled at. I run it during the day on commutes.

IIIPRO Vertical Cylinder MTB Brake 4 Piston Hydraulic Disc Brake Bicycle for Full Internal Cable Layout AM DH Mountain Bike NEW
Freni a discoLet me confirm that my brakes (upgraded version with 2 bleed port) are running very good in my gravel bike with GRX shifters
I just installed few days ago the XG4 / IIIPRO flat mount kit with GRX shifters in my gravel bike. Quite annoing bleeding but now it works. Need to brake in the pads but "i got the power" now comprared to Apex

Easedon Gravel 26/28mm
RuoteMy easedon wheelset just arrived. Ordered on 10th July so took about 21 days to arrive.
Ordered these in configuration "40mm Deep, UD Matte, 28mm Wide, Fly Weight, HG" and i requested no logos and external nipples.
Stupidly I didn't notice the spoke holes on the product page, so I need to wait for some rim tape to arrive before I can fit them.
They weigh in at 1285g without rim tape, which is only ~100g lighter than my 50mm, 28mm wide Farsports with DT240 hubs that I got back in 2021 (although they were double the price!), that don't need rim tape.
I can't see any visible thread on the spokes, and I just about see that the spoke fills the nipple, when looking through the spoke hole.
But anyway, they look really nice and I'm looking forward to getting them on my new RO88 build, where they'll be using RideNow 36g TPU tubes and Conti GP5000 (non-TR)

SHIMANO RC7 SH-RC703 Road Bicycle Cycling Shoes SPD-SL
ScarpeI just received a pair of shimano rc703s from 'chaser store' Tried on a bunch of shoes at a store in person to find the right fit, but the prices are crazy. Not sure how 'real' these ones are, but they seem identical. Came with a shimano box, manual, and tags that were not attached. The size I ordered also fits exactly the same as the size I tried on so they seem legit. With coupons the 703s were the same price as the 302s in store.

Movimento centraleI bought this one (I think someone else mentioned it in this thread):
Also just got the shipping notification yesterday. Pearl white frame in size M for me. I plan to do some decals in the style as the Scott Addict Gravel RC. I also purchased the new Elitewheels Aero+ Gravel wheels - excited to test these coming from the 303 XPLR S.

SEABOARD GR02 Gravel Bike Frameset Carbon Fiber Fork Off-road Long Distance Bicycle Framework 700C 142mm Thru Axle Wheelet
TelaioThe Tsunami / Seaboard GR02 is another option, although it's a bit more of an all-road bike than gravel (42mm official max tire clearance, although may have been increased?). I have one for my commuter and it's been great - no issues building it up, and the paint and welds look good.
I only found one link for it, but I didn't search very hard:
You can get it direct from Tsunami as well, with more color and size options:

CS-D50CU-33 disc brake 50mm depth carbon road rim 33mm (Xiamen Carbon Speed)
CerchiHi all,
After a bit of a delay, I’m finally sharing my first impressions of a prototype gravel wheelset from XM Carbonspeed. I had a chance to chat with Peter from XMCS at Eurobike and received the wheels at a discounted rate in exchange for providing honest feedback here.
Unboxing & Initial Impressions
• Finish: Matte satin surface, golden water-transfer logos, raw titanium spokes, black hubs and nipples – very clean, high-end look.
• Rim profile: 42 mm outer / 33 mm inner width. Looks massive at first glance, but pairs surprisingly well with 40–45 mm tires and creates a smooth aero transition.
• Build quality: Excellent. The internal finish is flawless – no carbon debris, resin residue or visible imperfections.Measured Weight (kitchen scale)
• Front: 615 g
• Rear (HG freehub): 720 g
• Total: 1,335 gThe XDR version is ~3 g lighter. Very impressive numbers for such wide rims with titanium spokes. XMCS claims T1100 carbon – which could explain the low weight, assuming durability holds up.
Tubeless Setup
• Tape: Buckless 35 mm
• Valves: Buckless aluminum
• Sealant: Schwalbe Doc Blue (60 ml front / 65 ml rear)
• Tires: Tufo Gravel Thundero – front 40 mm, rear 44 mm (both used)Setup was straightforward – both tires seated immediately with a Tyre Booster.
Measured Tire Widths (@32 psi, compared to Zipp 303s)
• Front: 39.6 mm → 43.6 mm
• Rear: 43.3 mm → 47.6 mmNext Steps
I’ll be testing them further on my custom titanium gravel bike – visually a perfect match. Ride impressions to follow soon.If you have any questions or want specific feedback, feel free to ask!

MagliaUnfortunately some of the chinese brands are not for taller and bigger people.
I havent tried Cheji yet as they dont even list my heigth as possible in their specifications.
Spexcel also tends to be too small. But some items fit just perfect.I love the light blue jersey which fits just perfect and feels quite nice.
All the other Spexcel clothes i tried didnt fit at all.
