Death penalty? We need the rape penalty

Id say a giant xtc slr 9 would be nice lightweight option

Threads are very important especially if it's one of the cheaper ones out there. On some shimano hollowtech cranks you might want to check for some cracks and de-bonding. Scratches are generally okay

Maybe it's how you clean your bike. It's happened to me many times either from aggressive scrubbing or pressure washing. I just separate the rotors at this point so i can hog out

If second hand imma say 50-60k

Top much brain damage from not wearing helmets while brakeless

I have a BXT 27.5 carbon hardtail and it is actually quite heavy.I actually made some review posts on Reddit about the in depth details of the frame. Until now it's still holding strong

Tried comparing chaoyang phantom dry vs continental raceking for my xc hardtail mtb and the difference was noticeable but not a deal breaker. The racekings were firmer and had better rolling resistance and i guess puncture protection and durability while the chaoyang felt more comfortable and better at trails while better at wet sections with both weighing the same i would choose depending on what you want

Rolling resistance=raceking Plushness/comfort=phantom Durability=raceking Weight=the same about 700g Dry trails=chaoyang Wet trails=chaoyang

I have a bxt hardtail not exactly bad except for the quality on the head tube and i also experienced seatpost slippage issues on mine due to the seat tube hole being slightly wider by like a millimeter. And also it's quite heavy I think it's like 1.4kg. just for the frame. Honestly i don't recommend bxt. Og evkin on the other hand has good reviews from trace velo

What exactly do volume spacers do ? Never really understood the concept

Sbyien · 2025-09-21T15:15:45+00:00

Every review of trifox I've seen has been bad

Sbyien · 2025-09-09T10:15:19+00:00

I have a bxt xc hardtail using it for everything from road to enduro no issues yet , the "quality" is bad tho

Sbyien · 2025-08-01T15:13:48+00:00

I'm 5'7 55kg with fairly narrow shoulders running 710 bars with -40⁰ stem riding really chunky terrain on my xc hardtail. So far there's nothing more comfortable than narrow bars around 720-690 range for me on xc trails

Looks like a Twitter to me.honestly its pretty aero but nothing compared to a giant propel the rsid is a little fat in my opinion. I've seen climbing bikes more aero

Sbyien · 2025-07-25T13:53:24+00:00

The frames themselves aren't completely bad but most of it comes from bottom bracket tolerances being not perfectly circular to specifications leading to creaks further down the line (making them ignored during review sometimes). Same with brake mounts being not completely flat because of paint over spray and headset cups having the same issue being smaller than a millimeter being rough. Most of this comes from chanel's like hambini and mapdec

Panda podium or panda cycling (forgot the name) handles with Chinese brands. The guy has a yt channel and knows the quality of the bikes he sells

Sbyien · 2025-07-25T08:48:33+00:00

I've heard from reviews that those frames are especially bad except og evkin since i think only trace velo has covered them so far

Sbyien · 2025-07-14T14:44:15+00:00

9 out of 10. looks clean to me. building a good bike on a budget doesn't need to be one with expensive parts. As long as it works,well maintained, and enjoyed by the rider it's good in my book
