Great frame on my Reacto 2025... Unfortunately, the chainring came a bit bent and retailer didn't want to fix it.

Wow which store?

@@flyingkangaroo8024 99 bikes, I do briefly mention it on the video. Visually it looked almost fine, only slight axial movement of the internal chainring, but I could very obviously feel and hear it when riding.

Why would you want to combine items? Doesn't really give you benefits.

no i will not do it anymore.@@Hard_Work_Is_Rewarding

Why bees wax though and not paraffin? Paraffin offers better lubcriaction and is cheaper.

@@Hard_Work_Is_Rewarding Beeswax can soften paraffin wax when used in low concentration. This increases wet condition reliability.

You don't get to save on this. They do.

Yeah aparently they do, I contacted a seller, he told me that they don't earn anything from shipping and that if I buy 2 or more things from them at once the shipping cost gets slightly discounted by aliexpress, or something like that. I haven't tried it yet.

thanks for the tip

Most likely they will, but it is a bit random. You will now shortly after placing the order.

That's interesting advice. So if multiple packages are all given the same tracking number once they're combined, and then you mark on of those orders as 'delivered' , the other one's won't get affected by this? I'm tempted to try. I'm extra frustrated as well because they combined a few of my packages that had Standard shipping with one small package of 2 euros that had Saver Shipping.

@@i.popescu7240 once they've been combined it's too late as far as I know; once a package is marked as having become "combined" (on their tracking), all of your shipped orders have already been through the consolidation warehouse and by then marking one as delivered will have no effect, since they are all in the same package now. The time window in which I've marked delayed/problematic orders as "delivered" to get other orders un-stuck is before that happens, i.e., if I see a few orders have shipped and are in the sorting center or the consolidation warehouse, but one has not yet shipped. That is when the rest tend to stay on hold, for a while at least. Although, in recent months the combined delivery method has been on and off - they occasionally stop using it temporarily during an big order boom, when getting packages out there faster it key (November rush, christmas, big sales). Hard to always know, seems like the rules keep changing.

@@Agbfj557 thank you so much for responding so quickly! it is very helpful! may I ask one more time to make sure I understand correctly.. so the packages that have been upgraded to 'combined' packaging are sent out together from China? I was under the impression they still get sent out individually through different modes of transport, and then once they are in the destination country they are gathered at an Ali express hub and placed into one bag. this video seemed to imply as well why it all takes so long but maybe I misunderstood. the reason I ask is because I'm worried my Standard shipping packages will arrive in my country first and then I will have to wait 5-6 weeks for the Saver package one to also arrive before I can have them all at once. I hope that makes sense but also hope I am wrong! If you are able to clarify I'd really appreciate it and thank you again for taking the time!

@@i.popescu7240 No problem, I know how frustrating this stuff can be. My impression is that combined packages that I get are packaged together back in China, because the bigger package they are all put in (usually a grey nylon bag) also has Chinese on the sticker. Not sure if this is always the case, or if it changes with some destination countries. If it's combined back in China, the difference between Saver shipping and Standard doesn't seem to matter too much (they move when the all your active orders have arrived at the warehouse there). I do tend to use the same shipping method for a bunch of orders if I think they'll be combined, just in case it does matter logistically, but I'm not sure it does matter if indeed it's all combined over there. I did notice that there seems to be a quicker shipping and processing time when it's a "15 day delivery option" (green font), which I honestly didn't think was real. This, too, may depend on which country the package is sent to, but as far as what happens in China - I do get the impression that sellers ship orders faster when it's the 15 days option (whether it's applied to Saver of to Standard. Usually it's offered for both, if it appears). So, if I do decide to make a few orders simultaneously and I know they might get combined, I try to use a 15 day option and the same ahipping method for them all, if possible. Does seem to get tjings moving quicker. Of course, it's not always available, but when it is.

As far as I can tell, you don't really get to choose. My orders have been combined even when they were not marked for combined delivery (either by me or as an option in the cart at all). We seem to have zero control, and the only deciding factor is whether the customer ordered more than 1 package at the same time. If you ordered something that's supposed to be combined, but you did not make any other order from another seller while the package is still in China, they simpy ship it regularly (without the detour of sending it to the "consolidation warehouse", which is where packages wait to be combined). I personally prefer it because it gets to me faster, the consolidation process slows it down the more packages you have to combine.

It does have crude wax. I think you are right.

Yes

Same here and try to get proof for it

Me too. It was combined delivery of 16!!! Items and it was delivered only 1!!! of them in the shipment. Very bad experience! It’s very good advice in the video to wait that the item will be shipped and only then to order something else!

That is very pity as this is the only one tubeless ready (without rim bead holes) wheelset has air leaking problem since our sales in 2016,we already improved our production and promise that there will be no same things happened.We accept the previous mistake and improve it ,which is a very good voice for our brand development.Here,EIE promises that if your EIE has same air leak problem(you ordered tubeless wheelset),you can send wheels back to EIE.And EIE will bear all the costs incurred including returning shipping cost.Thank you

They combine deliveries from multiple sellers. If it is multiple items from one seller my experience was that they combine them as well but that is to be expected.

@@Hard_Work_Is_Rewarding I also just noticed that they now charge shipping fees per each individual item by a ingle seller if you want it faster even though the seller will put all items in 1 package. A new meaning to 'combined shipping' Example: 1 seller, 3 items each under $3, faster shipping $ 2.16 + $ 2.16 + $ 4.57 That is insane. I tried several other seller and all had this new system.

@@mdgroot2065 try to make the order without paying, this way the order is in pending status waiting for the payment to be made, then contact the seller and ask for a shipping cost reduction, in many cases it will work perfectly.

No. They charge exactly the same for delivery. The only difference is it takes longer and often the box crosses over customs limit and you get charged for import duty.

WHAT???? I dropship to most European countries and I always choose 'Aliexpress Standard Shipping' which is never more than $3 US Dollars. What country do you live in, because I've never seen a single country anywhere in the world where I had to pay more than $3:50 for shipping there, unless you are always buying large, heavy and expensive items?

My point was not that you should not lubricating the chains, it was that it is not as critical and is very forgiving. If that was the only point you have obtained from my video I obviously have not done my job right. Try conducting an experiment - run your vehicle completely dry for 100 Kms (remove motor oil) run your bike chain dry for 100 Kms - compare the results.

Thanks for your time and suggestions. This is not a practical instruction, rather a summary of the info on the subject. I feel that there is enough guides showing how to melt paraffin and swoosh your chain around in it.

I usually do it every 200 kms. However, it's been reported that a waxing can last until 300 kms.

@@Hard_Work_Is_Rewarding what?? heard it last up to 6 months..

I guess, the biggest misunderstanding comes from the fact that that you and the manufacturer on one hand (are you a reseller?), and me on the other have different views on the subject. I aim to only have one set of wheels, not 10. But I want it to be as good as it can get. What you say seems reasonable - from a business perspective. Does not make sense from the end customer perspective. I have stumbled upon this problem by accident. An enormous pressure was created inside of the rim which then pushed the air back out through the sealed hole. Which in turn, created bubbles on its surface. Not only the manufacturer created an unnecessary hole - but they could also not seal it properly. Moreover, they assured me that it was sealed properly when they were specifically asked this question. That is to explain what was wrong with their engineering and manufacturing process. As for the customer support - no, just as I said, it was not a free replacement. I had to invest additional money to fix it in a way that it was intended to be in the first place. Not always it comes down to value as well. Sometimes, you just want a superior product.

@@Hard_Work_Is_Rewarding You're right in that you are entitled to have high expectations and get the promised product / function / service you paid for. You say "enormous pressure was created inside of the rim", how did you go about measuring this pressure? This is what I question, and your concern for "rim explosion". The area inside the rim is not air tight, air will pass out around nipples and valve. Imagine a tubed road tire with 7 bar / 100 psi, do you think the rim will explode if the tube fails resulting in air rushing into the rim? Imagine a TL road tire mounted on a TL rim with holes + TL tape, do you think the rim will explode if the TL tape fails? I might be wrong, but I find this to be very unlikely. I'm not a reseller or bikeshop, just a regular dude. But I have built around 100 wheels, alu and carbon, and serviced/rebuilt another 100 from various major brands (Roval, DuraAce, other Shimano, Fulcrum, DT Swiss, Newmen, Hope, Stans, RaceFace, WTB, other). Based on my experience, I rate EiE Carbon products / value / services as being very good.

@@and30ers 1. Of course, there is no way to measure the pressure inside the rim. However, after I took off the nut that held the valve in place I could hear the same whistling sound and feel the air escaping same as it would when you realease tyre pressure through the valve. I just took note of the time it took the pressure to be realeased and judged about pressure indirectly like that. The fact that the air was violently escaping indicates that the rim internals were airtight. 2. Further, you question rim damage by air pressure. Please have a look at this bikerumor.com/2019/03/12/enve-pressure-relief-nut-keeps-carbon-tubeless-road-rims-from-popping/ Enve states that air pressure inside of the rim may lead to delamination. By the way, that's another problem, currently the industry standard is no drain holes instead of drain holes present.

Thank you ,Anders.We are very pity that things happened ,this was only one wheelset we sold has air leaking problem as customer ordered tubeless ready wheelset.We improved our prodution and promise that there will be not same thing happened.So please rest assured that .Anyway ,there is no doubt that our rim quality is still very excellent except for the air leak (Tubeless ready wheels).Again ,it seems long time no hear from you ,my friend.If any new demand ,feel free to contact us .Big discount for you🤟🤟🤟

Yes, they are.

GP5000 is not compatible with hookless rims.

Maybe with less ptfe in your mix will work better

Did you inspect the drivetrain for excess wax deposits on the gears, and derailleur? In my case I had trouble shifting the gears properly due to this issue, until I cleaned the excess wax off. Other issue might be the stretched out chain or the casset, which can be checked by a proper tool.

Baby powder is talcum powder so no. Just use paraffin without PTFE then.

@@Hard_Work_Is_Rewarding ok thanks
