@@cccpkingu yeah, something doesn't add up... there is never a scale and the entire bike at the same shot. re footage - this one is not really that great. the one about berk saddles was awesome.
I rode those bars for six years to include a crash; no problems. On paper, I built up an Elves Vanyar disc road frame using DA Di2 and THM cranks etc. and came up with 9.7 pounds at $10K. Great video, thank you!
If you build it up on a 47cm (XXS) frame, you can likely get weight under 4.3kg. But comparative reviews are usually of a medium size frame i.e. 56cm. . That's where you got that from!
Yes please Joe - give us loads of direct comparisons with Western ‘usual suspects’ against high end Chinese products but don’t forget all that stuff from ICAN, Dengfu, Trinx, EC90 etc, there’s loads, keep it coming this is a real area so many people are thirsty to explore 👍🏻
He doesn't have any western bikes to compare against. The big brand China game isn't different because you put a sticker that says one thing or another on it. They all have the same qualities (cheap production), and the same drawbacks. Cut the top end price at least tenfold and you _still_ have markup, that is the comparison. For that you aren't getting more, and you sure as shit aren't getting away from any of the issues plaguing Chinese bike production.
To make up for the compact sized chainrings, a cassette with a 9 or 10t small chainring would be necessary. The corresponding downsizing of the cassette makes sense, but it had to extend to the small chainring, not just cut down on range.
The ax-lightness Via evo Disc is the lightest production disc road bike at 5,4kg with Red mechanic and 5,6kg with Red etape axs (medium). Never seen someone say the aethos at 4,64kg rather 5,9-6kg (medium)
Where you would account for 760 grams+the heavier Di2 here, with the same hubs, rotors and a ripoff of the AX saddle is anyone's guess. Frame ~100 grams, fork? crank?, chainrings?, casette? then ~75 grams at the seatpost, rims anything? handlebars/stem ~5-10g, . It just doesn't add up. Granted, there is a difference to speak of with the crank, but in a fair comparison you would put on the one AX makes. Not to mention this trades away weight-limit, wearability and adjustability at every turn.

Hope China manufacturer make one design lookalik this Aethos. This Aethos looks so minimalis, probably Aethos it is just common bike frame design, so simple, I like the design.
Seeing the use of a carbon saddle to save weight is CRAZY. I made the BIG mistake of buying one, it weighed about 90gms but when riding on it, it was like smashing your nuts and pelvis on an anvil, by FAR the most unforgiving material to make a saddle out of. It has NO GIVE WHATSOEVER. I used it for about 1 hour, now it collects dust, like it should. DON'T DO IT, your balls will thank you for it.
Hi dude. Nice video, one question.. where did you buy the colored screws for the Dura Ace brake calipers? Here in Italy I can't find anything, I would also like other colors. Beautiful bike. Congratulations
Hi... Amazing build congrats. Envious. Curious since you have done the research. Which wheels and hubs were you going to use if 30-40mm deep wheels? Meaning which do you think are the lightest?
As a person living in south side of China, I almost got a INCOLOR Skypivot cranks for my bull-heavy 2018 9R Roubaix. But because the factory delay plus covid, I just can't get one of these lmao... Thank god we got Neutron crankset, a little bit heavier than incolor ones, but it still light enough for me, and it runs great.
@@ChinaCycling Also check out EXS handlebars please! A brand from my fitter also is a friend of mine's product, the handlebar design is pretty interesting!
It is slower than heavier bikes because of the disk brakes. No Everesting records are done on discs. Phil Gaimon needs doping to break the record, but that is another matter.
@@cccpkingu Not gonna argue you're right especially considering his explosive watts power to weight ratio... preety impressive for a natural* cyclist even though being extremely fit.

Going to 12-speed might not add much, if anything, to a Dura Ace groupset. The chainrings can be made smaller if you have a 10-tooth cog in back, and this may offset the weight of the extra cog.
Nice. It's funny this weekend I was thinking of a similar build.

Very nice Rim brakes and mechanical groupset would be my choice but still way beyond my dream budget Know anything about Yasujiro’s Svelte steel super light bike?
The frame is about 800 grams heavier, weight considered. It is about a kilo heavier overall, on a smaller frame. You can study the known components to see whether the claimed weight here is real. I am thinking it isn't because that isn't a disc brake bike.
Great video it has blown my mind ! I would like to see a more in-depth review on the rear cassette and where to buy it from also the crank set please , cheers from the uk 🇬🇧
Really cool build for having some parts not known to anybodyYou couldn't find anything out there lighter, the only thing is it's not standard parts. For example, ax-lightness 5,4kg full Sram red mechanic 5,4kg and full red etape axs 5,6kg is the lightness production road disc bike in the World without changing any parts like lighter chaines or carbon inner disc brake rings, etc. But cool to see what can be down if someone does their research to find ultralight parts for cheap !!
There are plenty things lighter than this. You aren't doing your research if you just swallow this as real. Why wouldn't you pair an Ax lightness bike with Ax lightness cranks btw?

What a sick build! And that color OMG😱😍 I would probably have gone for a KCNC MTB 11-32 Titanium Cassette and 1x drivetrain but sometimes the 2x can be better i guess.
You can purchase a better bike and take it to a professional painter and have it look not only sick, but "sick bro", for half of what that paintjob alone is costing you. A lighter cassette isn't going to make you noticably faster, and alu is lighter at that.
@@cccpkingu That titanium cassette that i meant is not really lighter but has a bigger range and 2x wouldn't be needed anymore. Thankfully made dad is a paintguy since like 35years. I also know a bit how to paint stuff. So i would probably so it myself or let my dad do it.😃🤩
I've already spotted those cranks some months ago. I briefly found them on sale on Taobao, but then they weren't there anymore, nor anywhere else. They are one of the most interesting Chinese products I've ever seen. THM Carbones, beware...
My guess is that they've sold the first batches like hot cakes. The direct mount construction seems very clever, making the cranks suited for seemingly all disciplines, from MTB to time trial, with the right chainrings. Sigeyi has made a power meter for this (proprietary) spindle that came away below 550g for a 2x setup! Looking forward for your review Joe
Do you know how difficult it is to make carbon cranks? THM carbones you can actually buy, with actual warranty. It takes a lot to challenge that knowing they have been available for years and years, in many iterations.
@@cccpkingu I invite you to check who are the people behind this and the amount of effort in R&D that apparently has been put in place in the process. As you can see in in this video, this doesn't seem to be another copycat of some western brand. I'm just looking at a product that seems to be very promising and that potentially doesn't have the outrageous pricetag of other products with the same characteristics. When it comes to Chinese products, I just try to be as you are: unbiased.
The frame costs 400$, $5,500 is the price you pay if you want someone to sell it to you and write "S-WORKS" on it. Also, that isn't even this frame, that is the heavier "Expert model" one.
This bike was really easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Joe can you ask Skypivot about the crank availability, had talked to them on wechat last year about it but it has gone quiet along with the thread on weightweenies. Would like to purchase one if available. Thanks
For sure! I need to make sure I get my hands on one before you guys mop them all up, haha! But as soon as I have one, I'll tell them to share the love. #SorryNotSorry

Realistically, nobody needs anything bigger than a 46x11 gear combo. If you want to go faster, just tuck when you descend down hill.

46/30 is my fav combo
Spin to win, CTFU

46:11 = 8.8m of dev't * 90 rpm = 47.52 kph
Harley, I am just dying to see you keep up with Ineos in January 2022, on that gear combo.
Carb the f**k up! BTW, funny how china cycling said it's made in Xaimen china but on the frame it says "handmade in taiwan"

There is rim brake version, it's called Tarmac SL5
very very nice dude
446gr for that crank is nice but the Sisl2 Cannondale spidercrank is 448gr with a 53/39 175mm crank arms with no carbon.
Is the Sisl2 BB30 only? I can't remember. If so, not gonna work well with a BSA frame.
@@ChinaCycling Yes its bb30 only or pf30
Wow!
The badminton raquet tape got me...
Hahaha. I liked it too. A very Chinese hack.
Maybe Specialized will make more affordable versions of this frame. That way us mortals can afford to own one too.
How much is spent for this bike bro
Where can I find the gold hardware for the brakes
What's the price?
Very light weight and great build albeit I'm sure very $$$. I thought my SL4 at 6.6 was light :)
do they sell this? if so how much? thanks
where to get the movement saddle in China?
