Interesting take. The tool in the link doesn't come with PH2 though and M8 is also used by Shimano and Crankbrothers pedals. It does come with 1.5mm hex which isn't needed by any of my bikes so it seems redundant but…

I had a Kona Rove that just sold. I live in the hills, and I prefer riding to trails rather than hitching them on the car. The heavy steel bike takes a toll on the climbs 🙂
Looking to build my second gravel bike. first off the obvious, used is okay but nothing with damage or “repaired by professional”. 1. Size 55, 56, 57. 2. Flat mount disc. 3. 12x100 and 12x142 TA. 4. Full internal/semi…
Good catch. I read somewhere that VB doesn't actually manufacture frames rather just resells them while SPCycle does manufacture - my recollection could be wrong though. In case its not wrong, I think the type of CF…
Worth mentioning. Same frame is now available at Velobuild christened as GF-003. The geometry, completed build pictures look exactly like Willier Jena.
Anyone have a short video clip of how rear suspension works or point me to one? It's something I would love to watch from a distance and go back to my battered old Diamondback happily.
"Entry level" model for just US$7500. Dear lord.
It was $500 including handlebar (integrated) and everything else. I ultimately did not go for it though. Size L wasn't available back then and not a fan of integrated handlebar either. Much prefer something with…

As I make up my mind and wait for reply from Carbonda. I started digging around. After some poking, Lisa from TanTan told me that they have a new frame called GR047. The questions that I asked were, any lightweight…

The geometry on 707 is putting me in a spot. I usually ride L/56 and my roadbike is 58. For reference I am 183 cms. The reach on L sized 707 is even longer than my Cannondale Synapse which is size XL. The 696 seems more…
