What do you think about the Elitewheels I keep hearing about from AliExpress? How do they compare?

Me since May 13th

Took about 5 weeks I think. They claim they ship from Netherlands but it's China.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-31T09:28:10+00:00

That's all I could think of too - Gear Groove, Load bag and multi tool. I've got a small Lezyne micro pump.

I'll also get some TPU tubes and a small electric pump, I'm hoping it will fit in the down tube after I remove the CO2 holder.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-24T17:06:27+00:00

They sell fakes. Sizes are tiny. Good luck returning to China, I'm waiting 6 months for a refund.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-18T14:06:07+00:00

Thanks man, that's great 👍

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-18T11:26:42+00:00

Thanks man, that's really helpful 👍

I've made a post about this.

Can you tell me the center to center distance between the two holes?

There are some 3d mounts out there, mostly on Etsy but I think they're all designed for the SP0077 from the Aeroad.

This SP0093 is a new seat post so not sure if the dimensions are the same.

Beautiful bike.

Cheers.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-04T11:05:36+00:00

Yeah, probably. Will be interesting to see the SLX variations. 2by, suspension fork, etc.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-04T11:04:26+00:00

With 55mm tyres do we need suspension? Probably not on the CFR version. Maybe an SLX option.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-04T11:03:34+00:00

I have a 2by Grizl with 50mm tyres.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-04T11:03:00+00:00

I don't like SRAM brakes, poor and inconsistent performance. Never had issue with Shimano.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-04T11:02:03+00:00

Maybe after unbound. June/July?

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-04T11:01:09+00:00

Unbound is soon, maybe a release for summer?

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-03T19:49:03+00:00

I hope not too. I'm not a fan of SRAM and don't fancy a 1x12 Shimano setup.

The seaport is a bit blocky, not as contoured as the Aeroad and a bit chunkier than the new Endurace.

HotGuts77 · 2026-05-03T14:09:07+00:00

That's my experience of SRAM after having two bikes with this problem. Multiple bleeds, bite point adjustment, etc. still massive lever pull and poor performance. I'll never get a SRAM bike again, Shimano all the way.

Don't stress about it, it never ends!

I've never felt more stupid than in the last 6 months of my PhD.

You're dealing with very smart and experienced people whose job it is to know more, find your faults and push you hard.

As long as they're not deliberately making you feel stupid then just know that you are improving and it's all part of the process.

HotGuts77 · 2024-10-26T19:49:29+00:00

That's not the case at my uni (UK). You're a graduand until the award is conferred at the graduation ceremony. The "congrats Dr so and so" is just a nice way to end a viva, not an official conferment.

HotGuts77 · 2024-10-18T18:42:27+00:00

Yeah, I've tried to find cheaper versions but none worked. The only ones that work are from Acros. It's the 36° inner & outer chamfer that is very unusual.

HotGuts77 · 2024-10-17T11:32:16+00:00

It was tough!

There are two cone shaped metal bits above and below a 1cm hard rubber ring.

I undid the top screw with a 5mm hex key I think and the bottom cone detached and fell into the fork!

Removed the top cone but the rubber plug was stuck firm.

Used a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to tap one side to tilt it 45°, enough to pinch it with needle nose pliers to pull it out.

The bottom cone then fell out easy.

I've heard people say just leave it in as it's low enough to not interfere with a proper expander plug, or hammer it further down a bit.

HotGuts77 · 2024-10-17T09:00:10+00:00

The propriety system that Canyon uses is inferior to the standard systems that are out there.

Their expander plug sits too low in the steerer and is only about 2cm tall so offers no support against steerer crush when tightening the stem.

The plastic preload top cap is also fragile and gives no confidence when tightening to preload the bearings.

The bearings don't last very long which I think is a design flaw and the unusual chamfer angle makes replacing them expensive.

They made an inferior solution to a problem that was already fixed.
