1x cranks like the senicx crankset have a chainline of ~49.7mm. This works for 142mm thru axle or 135mm qr but rim brake road bikes have 130mm qr. The chainline for those is usually 43.5mm. I have used a 104mm bcd spider on then used spacers on the chainring bolts to get the chainring further inwards. This might mess up the shifting due to the increased cross chaining.

@@lcooperdesign I haven't weighed it but it should be 7kg, or even less in Ultegra. The wheels are hyper in 50 (rim brake), old version with inner tube. They are indeed rigid wheels, aero, and which support very well the lateral winds. Disadvantages are noise from the hub (I put DT Swiss light grease on), braking isn't great when compared to my other Farsport wheels (DT 240). On the Hypers wheels, the braking surface is smooth while on the Farsports the surface is grooved. I use bLACKPRINCE.

I had a similar issue with the 1x senicx crank, but my issue, that was completely solved with a chainring. Also I've gotten so tired of that "reputable! Groupset“ mentality; it's a young brand of course there will be issues. Like the gravel groupset had the adjustable tension system (chain drop issue) , it wasn't strong enough so they sent me a new updated model that has a much stronger spring, now no chain drop, their customer support is far and away better than I've had with the big 3

Now, I’m sure the weather was not planned for a shake down ride, and it was pretty harsh test environment, for Jimmy on a new build. Very informative though! The group set should have been able to handle it, without causing mild to moderate understandable panic on occasions! Though I’m pretty light at 52kg I have to say, for rim brakes, Campagnolo, 2018 onwards calipers, levers with campagnolo blocks and AC3 brake track rims feel and work superbly well.

Madeira Island has a lot of +-14% parts and the tarmac on those are a bit harsh.

A great story, please continue to fettle and let's see this evolve into the best compromise of cheap Chinese blended with excellent knowns*. Chainline is everything ( as a fixed wheel rider as well as gears) for me and my hacks. I'm sure if chain stays allow, getting it to 42-3 mm would help, if it's as Kevin Klein says could be near 50mm. *A case of some 'known, knows' where with a mix of 'unknown, knowns' and possibly 'unknown, unknowns' (ie the gears) add to the fun of bike building, as Donald Rumsfeld would've seen it, if he was alive and rode a bike, rather than being near the big red button.

Considering the shifting suddendly being poor on the new bike: Maybe the attachment point for the derailleur on the frame isn't perfectly straight (similar effect to a bent derailleur hanger)? No idea if this is the case, just an idea. (Could probably be checked with a "derailleur bend-back-tool", no idea what its actually called, but just a device you put on the hanger and then bend it straight again...)

I'd be careful with that saddle, Francis. I don't know what research you found, but from the reviews I've read, riders as little as 60kg have broken that thing. China Cyling has a good video on chinese carbon saddles, and it's quite agreeable. He mentioned that small chinese brands are slightly more trusted than unbranded or fake branded saddles. Maybe the "Kennet" carbon saddle (89g) is safer, cheap, and worth looking into? Awesome video, as always. Thanks for sharing info on epic chinese parts.

Elves bikes are cheaper direcly from their website, from what I've seen 🧐 any reason to buy them at Ali ?

Don't quote me on this, but I think AliExpress hold your payment so if something does happen and your order doesn't turn up then you can get a refund more easily.

you need SENSAH SRX PRO derailleur to run x1
@Cade_Media
@Cade_Media Рік тому
That's a long cage derailleur which will allow you to run a bigger cassette, but you should be able to run a empire pro 1x without any issues.

@@leonschumann2361 yep big holes in the bars and big holes in the frame, so much so you can poke the cables through without guides and not really worry.

How are Pickle and Jimmi in the same vid? I thought we'd agreed they are in fact the same person? Better not let them touch, could create a singularity or something and doom us all.
