Braking is good with juin tech.
They are not as good a deal as they used to be though -
• #10603
Anyone know a source of hidden cable forks, routing through drilled steerer, similar in spec to a columbus futura gravel fork, 700x40 clearance 385mm ac 47mm rake. Carbonda have some but they're a bit too large, 400mm ac. Winowsports seem to make something similar but can't say I've heard anything about them

Straight or tapered steered? I'd be after a straight steerer option if you do find one?
-

Tapered. Straight steerer would be a bit of a unicorn item I reckon. They sent me this one for 700x32 max supposedly, but I reckon that might be a bit conservative. Would ideally have mudguard mounts, but can always use clip ons.

Seems you can fit a 700x40mm tyre just about, so actually is perfect

10% discount and free integrated bar and stem from Winspace on their SLC2 frameset. Very tempted.
-

Thought as much. Think there'd be a few buyers on here for a straight steerer one but outside of LFGSS not so much.

If you went for the acr routing of through the top of the steerer in a non drilled fork that could work. If there was a cable guide you could drill through that and have the fork leg routing hole covered. Have done it before, and didn't die. Though not sure what you could do for the rear brake hose.

I got 2x superlight cages from BOTY store on aliexpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000404214022.html
They're really light, but the one mounted to the seat tube cracked around the base where it supports the bottle. The store is sending me another one but I think it's just too thin to support the weight, anyone else have this issue?

Anyone came across some Aerocoach or Wattshop style TT extensions yet? Need a different angle, and might as well make it look cool, if not faster. :)

Has anyone bought a hylix road disc fork and can comment on max tyre clearance.
I need a straight 1 1/8 carbon disc fork - and really want to be able to run a 28c tyre - but all listings seem to stress the 25c max.
This is what I'm contemplating - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293275037517
I'd like thru axle too - but through axle and 1 1/8 straight seem to be not a thing due to the off-set of standards in the space time continuum.

Bit of a dredge - but I heard the updated z-race br-005 are supposed to be pretty good too - and mega value at around £60 a pair.
I've got a set of juin techs though a really rate them. I've not ridden loads of full hydro drop bar setups - and those I have have been towards the budget end of things, but I've always been left underwhelmed. My old 10 speed Sram Rival to Juin tech is a better experience all round!

No experience of the forks but I'm also interested as I'm contemplating the 1-1/4" one
-
• #10617
Yeah, think that's too far the other way. I need a road fork, but part of the reason is to be able to run a generous 28c tyre on an 18mm rim. Gravel fork a2c will ruin the rest of it.
-
• #10618
Someone must have had one!
It's for the capo. Generally commuting on the pompino rams home how 25c just seems inappropriate for UK roads.

Mines for the CAAD track :)

It looks like this fork -> https://www.lfgss.com/comments/12652874/
so only 23-25 tyres
23mm durano on 18mm/24mm rimalso the fork is not very stiff, flexes a lot.

Hmmm. thanks.
So hard to ID random chinese forks. This thing suggests 28c compatible - and there are some rough measurements which I might compare to the Easton EC90 on there at the moment. Looks similar to the one posted above though too.

Is also probably noodle like and with a constant fear of dental bills.

… won’t be as pretty as your EC90 though. I have an SLX that is also stuck with 25mm clearance which I often regret, but wins out on looks/weight.
You could try running 25 front / 28 rear and see if that does enough for you.

Has anyone tried these RideNow tubes?

• #10624
Yes, bought one direct from AliX for about £12 delivered six months ago and been carrying since then as an emergency spare in case of tubeless mishaps. It's amazingly small and light compared to a normal tube and the one time I've used it, was easy to install and inflated and held air fine.

Anybody have any experience with these guys?
They seem to mainly make OEM hubs but do sell direct. I've been chatting to their rep and the hubs sound quite interesting, the quality of the finish looks quite good from images but...
Got more or less a spare ultegra rim brake groupset (no calipers tho) and some wheels (one rim, one disc) so thinking about a cheap chinese carbon frameset. Reckon it's worth getting a disc frameset and juintec? Is braking good with them
