Hi Guys, recently, a customer brought in Btwin housing and cable for his DIY project. I am not sure wat the price is and I guess all of you know where he got it from.
Things that me and my mechanic realised. No matter how you cut the cables, it frays almost instantly. Housing wise was ok, until he came back the next day. The housing has frayed as well after one day of bringing the bike out for a spin. Quality is simply amazing.. never seen this kind of standard.. even my cheap china cables and housing is of better standard.

Yep, best judge is when u are riding. However, need to buy first b4 u can do that right?

Will take into consideration Litepro S42, thank u



Yeah... front OLD is 74mm. Any recommendations for good wheelsets under $500?

You looking at 406 or 451 wheelset?

Just avoid wheelsport wheelset. Litepro is decent enough. Some go for machete, controltech, faxson, etc. personally I am using taobao wheelset light and strong enough for me.

Sram S300 courier crankset, 61T chainring, brakes, and some other random stuff

This is my cycling friend on his AM.

Derailleur can easily hit the floor since your wheel is small. For 406 wheels, medium cage derailleur can sometimes hit thr floor so for 18" wheels like Birdy... I just find it weird. That's why smaller wheel bikes use IGH.

actually , the road bikers are going ******* slow,

if cna overtake this one then satki

Think 406. I don't mind getting from Taobao too if there's any good recommendations.

I'm also heading to Taipei and Taichung soon. Any good Taiwanese forums to read up on wheelsets? May want to get from the LBS there if feasible.

If convenient, can share y u don't really fancy Wheelsport? Have friends jio me to get cos MBS running promo for the wheels. Still considering.

Nobody buys that, hat's why its running promo.

I have seen numerous spoke snappings on wheelsport, but the cyclists are lighter than me. When i say numerous.. its >10 cyclists.
