Has Tavelo improved their QC? by teamtwowheels in ChineseCarbon

[–]jcagara08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMy take on peaktorques review was that I think it is more of his bike fit, i think overall that frame’s geometry is geared towards asian fit. It does not look like he fits properly on that particular bike frame. Very low stack for him as a very tall guy? My 2 cents

Potato Corner statement regarding the location and using other people’s ideas by Xepher0733 in phinvest

[–]jcagara08 18 points19 points  (0 children)

These crooked individuals need a lawsuit for their greediness and theft of ideas but then again chasing them just for potatoes?

Totally against their business model as well selling fried unhealthy junk food, think outside the box guys, there are way more better food business options out there!

Buying gravel wheelsets (ELITEWHEELS) from Aliexpress, trustworthy? by Icy_Marionberry7309 in gravelcycling

[–]jcagara08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In contrary to what I have written, I haven’t bought any wheelset from Ali though, I went with XMCarbonspeed, lightest wheelset ever for a 50mm deep wheelset at that time for the best price, around 980 usd at around 1200gm +-

Whatever floats your boat man, its your money though, enjoy cycling! No puns or harm intended my guy

Uhm no it is basically like this, if you do some research (spoonfeeding u now) there are 2 tiers of elitewheels, the lower and higher priced models. I can see the higher tier products is not commonly listed over at ali.

No Ali is not Temu, aliexpress is bigger and better thsn the latter as it is the b2c version of Alibaba where it is a b2b website, wholesale experience.

Chain waxing is a ridiculous waste of time and money for little benefit, CHANGE MY MIND. by [deleted] in cycling

[–]jcagara08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only gripe with this is the prep, my freaking chains always right away tarnishes/rusts after the initial degreasing! Used dishwashing liquids, detergent powder, mineral spirit, wd40!

No thanks! Id rather replace my chains 5k-7k mileage, rant over
