Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

Oh I believe you, I’m assuming the cannondale dirt and that Gravelero are exactly the same and both << tattico

I have the Cannondale dirt and road – both are the same at different scales, which is not terrible but no better than a Lezyne. All inferior to the Tattico. I haven’t seen a Gravelero but I’d assume that is the same quality as other Silca pumps. But I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.

Lightbicycle are doing a Black Friday deal and have sent me a code to share for an additional discount (22%). I assume that they will email a similar code to anyone who has organised a group buy in the past so I imagine others on LFGSS will have a code as well.

My code is MR5T7DHN feel free to use it to get the additional discount on top of the Black Friday deal.

The sale runs 22nd to 30th November.

V generous. I am going to order a pair of rims or maybe a wheelset now. Someone putting a big order in should use this though.

I’d be keen on some ordering a set of rims if people are putting an order in!

Thanks for sharing and flagging the sale, looks like there's a less generous code for all punters but 22% is hars to refuse!

I've just clarified with them as the email was confusing. The code isn't quite as good as it first appears. The code essentially gives you 2% extra on the black Friday prices so 12% for Non Pro Stuff, 17% for Pro Rims and 22% for the Frameset.

but for which frameset ? :)

No new bike coming in anymore, so I’m upgrading the Six13.

Thinking 65mm custom marble finish…

(The Black Friday deal isn’t huge. On these I’d get an extra 5% off).

Oh i like that, naughty edit:carbonal hh vibe

Who is first and stupid enough to try ￡389.04 2x11 R9 hydraulic shifters from LTWOO? Post mount I think so would be great for upgrading from cable disc brakes.

@cake sell Di2

I guess those are the scalpers mentioned in the video in this thread. For under 200 it might be interesting but what's the point if you can get a full 105 groupset for 500 right now?

Having the Egg Roll Brake Lining Shoe has to be worth the money alone...

Yeah,
You could be right. The price hopefully comes down. I have liked my Sensah Empires. Also these would fit my post mount frame without flat mount adapters that would mean 180mm disc rotors.

what's the goto AliX light set atm? under £30 posted, ideally. ta

anyone tested this or suggesting something very similar?

Got a set on order. All the tech is now stable so what's the worst that could happen. Brake cooling bullshit aside (this goes out to all), I just want to see how it works. PM is a bit of a killer though.

@sohi Because why not, and 105 shifters are just garbage.

Just get the farsports bar

It’s 400 usd tho

(But if it had some flare I’d be tempted)

Maybe teeth are worth more?

Sure, but you don’t need to jump on the orient express if you’re going to spend that much.

Hmmm, but >$300 for a set of LB rims is fine

I wasn’t trying to pick a fight. Albb linked to a £90 product so guess they’re not looking to spend 400 usd, that’s the only point I was making.

No need to make remarks on my spending habits.
