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

yea something like that. But yeah im riding ebay carbon tubeless wheel setup on my workbike on cobblestones soo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Consensus on Racmmer sizing? They seem to be getting the best reviews of the Ali kit but anyone bought them and found the sizing to be consistent and true to size or what's the protocol (size up/ size down?)

I'm 180cm and 80kg.

Edit: Pulled the trigger on 2x short sleeve jerseys 1x long sleeve jersey and 1x bib shorts
M for the jerseys and L for the shorts.

Hopefully the right decision.

they kinda suck, mine broke on a fail attempt to uncleat. I fell on the side and the drop broke on the internal routing hole. Regarding the flex I would say as much as alloy ones.

Yeh I think I've shepherded away from these to be honest. Had my eye on a deep Ritchey stem for a couple of days so will probably go for that

Sorry, only just saw this and didn't actually weigh it.

Mine slipped with (I think) 4nm (might have been 5nm), but that was probably over-cautious seeing as I weigh about 85kg.

I've got one of those deda Copy carbon seatpost, mine has slipped once but I under tightened it and rode over cobbles

Brought these too a week ago and they came within 5 day. They fit well and the build quality is alright, 10/10 would buy again.

I'd choose size down, bought three jerseys in size M, and they are a bit baggy for my height (172 cm). Decent quality though.

I bought three spexcel jerseys recently, already got a couple of size medium and those fit fine. Of the three, 2 of them say (in the description) to order up a size and one says to take your regular size. I ordered all 3 in medium.

The two that apparently come up small fit perfectly.

I can barely do up the one that says take your regular size...

My Spexcel gilet arrived the other day. I ordered the XL which fits well. Normally wear a M in Rapha kit. It held up well and kept me warm through a very wet and windy ride this week.

Sounds like the M might be ok for me so! Fingers crossed.

Has anyone got any experience of the following sellers?

-Greenforce-Pro (Ebay)
-Shenzhen Baolijia (AliExpress)
-SERAPH (AliExpress)

What rim tape options for Light Bicycle U 65mm?

https://www.lightbicycle.com/carbon-road-bike/carbon-road-cyclocross-bike-rim/U-shaped--clincher--61~90mm

19mm https://www.lfgss.com/comments/13641042/

Is that stuff still ok for running tubes or should I use something less stiff, like Velox?

Ah well, I've bought some of this AND some Velox, just in case.

Cheers

Great - on a TLR rim you want the lowest profile tape when running clincher.

Anyone have experience with ANTS bike? Looks like good feedback. I'm after plain carbon or alloy handlebars/stem that aren't going to kill me

Only has 3 king logos on each cup though so easily spotted as a Chris Ching

How does it compare? Is it still laser engraved?

you got one? What kind of bearings are in it?

Hasn't @Thuekr been using one for a while?

It's laser engraved, bearings are sealed cartridges, seems like decent quality. As good or better than the FSA it replaced
