Elite is just cheap Chinese junk that might be safe enough going slow up hill once, but would be foolish to ride fast downhill or ride every day. Just more AliExpress shilling 😂
Agree, the only downside I have with them is that after ordering via the official shop at Ali, they force you to upgrade to expensive shipping because the standard shipping (they themselves offer in the shop) is not available (?!).

I'm happy to hear Ollie say non pro ride could be better off using larger disc rotors. I have a hybrid which I have had for a number of years. It originally had 160/160mm rotors. I did change the brakes not long after I got my hybrid. When I did change the brakes I went for 180/160mm rotors. When I recently changed the brake again. I still went for the 180/160mm rotors. I currently have Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres in 32mm. I have had no issues with stopping on this tyre and brake set up.
It’s a well know fact that trigon is: Great Go Cycles which has been making frames and components for companies like Pinarello, Blue, Leopard and FSA for years
Very nice. And I completely agree with you about 180mm rotors. Very few people saying that so thanks for speaking up about it. Even most XC bikes are still coming with 160mm rotors on the rear and those bikes are quite a bit heavier. But we just love to emulate the pros.

#ASKGCNTECH Can installing tubes into a currently tubeless setup be a long term option? I have ridden a current gravel tire and wheel setup as tubeless for about 3 years but the TWI still shows lots of available tread remaining on the tires. I recently removed the tires from the wheels to clean out the old sealant but now they will not reseat even though I removed a lot of sealant and the bead seems clean. After many attempts to remount the tire I am now consider just installing tubes. I know installing a tube works as a puncture repair to get back home. But, is it advisable or not to use them long term?

This frame is over $4,000 with a handlebar/stem and seatpost. That puts it in the same price bracket as some well-known, top-end bike shop sold competition. I'm sure the Trigon is a quality product, but that's absurd pricing for a DTC frame from a brand no one has heard of.

Aero dimples are bs. At the Reynolds numbers of the slow fluid velocities of cycling they will need to be much larger to trip the air. See Ganna’s hour record bike. There’s a reason they had to make that bike out of aluminum.
Bigger rotors meh....unless you a very large person flying down massive hills there's little need for 180mm rotors. I even ran 140 front and rear and I'm living in the hills at 86 kgs.

Fully agree on brake rotors on road bike being too small. Especially large frame sizes should come with adapter-free mounting of larger rotor sizes.
Needs to be 622mm really
Maybe braking on the rim would be a good option. And instead of oil just a cable and easy to replace brake pads
