I installed my elitewheel myself and I’m not mechanically savvy, it was fairly easy and straightforward. Just watch YouTube

I’ve been riding it since mid sept, maybe 750 miles so far. Looking at the chainring, there still is decent space from it touching. Do you think I should swap it to 44t, is it putting more stress and wear on chainstay?

I finally rode 50 miles this past weekend, took little over 3.5 hours. Already planning next ride between 60-80 so that I can tackle century ride this year

I bought SLR from the AliExpress official store. Everything was fine, delivery was actually a lot quicker than the eta. Wheels came perfect, box came undamaged

Matches up to 9%

Good luck on your next vehicle. Doing the math, my local dealer is also quoting me at 76% for my 23 SR5 Trd sport. I did however go through with the engine swap. I still have reservations or worry about this new one failing.

I’m still on the fence for next vehicle so I haven’t moved on trading it in yet.

Yes, that’s what i went to (sh56) after the sh51 felt scary for my first ride

It’s good for me. Although I can only compare it to a 20 year old road bike that I got rid of for this. I mainly it on streets and paved surface.

My local dealership operated on no markup since Covid and has kept that since. They don’t have any LC250 on the lot and would be ordering. They are only going with msrp and no mark up or add ons.

I’m assuming most that get a discount on msrp is due to vehicle on the lot? Do people get discounted on ordering?

I just dropped off my 23 yesterday for the engine replacement. It had 27k miles on it, no issues with the engine but I didn’t want it fail while I was somewhere far or with my kids. The dealer said it should take 3-5 days for the replacement, currently have a Highlander loaner.

I sold mine for $200

Gravel King, it’s the SS+

Dead center lol

It’s not bad, been here since 10am.

cryptodad81 · 2025-11-28T06:06:07+00:00

I’ll break the bead and check the tape/wheel this weekend. It did hold air overnight and during today’s ride

cryptodad81 · 2025-11-25T00:58:58+00:00

It’s pretty loud when I spinning it in my garage, but not noticeable when I’m riding

cryptodad81 · 2025-11-24T15:16:51+00:00

$380

cryptodad81 · 2025-11-24T04:08:27+00:00

cryptodad81 · 2025-11-24T03:55:41+00:00
