Interesting story from the 2022 disc frame I've built in the last month: I recieved an email yesterday saying they had supplied me with the wrong C-ring adapter (the little part that goes on top of the top headtube bearing), this can cause the cap to rub on the frame and chip the paint. Indeed my paint was chipping slightly so I sent them a pic or 2. Today they've told me they are sending me a new c-ring. And a new frame.
Thank you Peter. Elves Bikes are committed to providing the highest level of service to our valued customers. Out of hundreds of Falath Pro 2022 frames manufactured in the past month, we ourselves identified that potentially 16 could have been affected. It was imperative that we took a proactive and transparent approach by contacting you directly to ask you if your frame had been affected. So far, we have only had one confirmed issue which is your frame. Without question, we are delighted to resolve the issue quickly and to your satisfaction. Thank you for your ongoing support of the brand, we sincerely value your trust in Elves bikes.
It’s good technique to use a torque wrench but my two yeaes in a bike shop I never found a single mechanic using a torque wrench for lock rings or cassettes. I’m glad he provides proper instructions.
Great journey on the build with Johnny who deserves most of the Goolag Tube revenue plus a free haircut. A man of patience with those insane inner-wired handlebars deserves nothing less. Awaiting the next part of the saga while I enjoy rides on my Trek 5200 with rim brakes that Johnny can adjust with his eyes closed in 30 seconds.
ELVES is quite popular here in the Philippines. Since we are close to China and shipping costs are often free. There are also a number of Filipino Bike RU-vidr who use ELVES. 👍
I'm really interested in perhaps getting a set of those Orome Valar wheels! When the review of the whole bike is up, would really appreciate some thoughts about the wheels themselves!
Got my Elves Eglath frame coming Tuesday! Was quoted 6-8 weeks to arrive, but it will have only been 3 weeks to the day Tuesday! Elves can thank you and your videos for my purchase! otherwise wouldn’t have known the existed!
@@JourdainColeman yeah, the bar routing will certainly help! Built loads of bikes, but never a fully internally routed one! Not a task I’m thinking will be fun lol!
Bravo for blessing this build with a mechanical groupset! In my opinion, electric groupsets take away from the elegant simplicity of a bicycle. Well done. Cheers from Michigan USA
I just slide inner cable a few inches into the hydraulic hose to then feed it through with the inner cable acting like a pick to guide it to the hole, so far most times I follow opposite you as do through bars then the bike
Hi Jourdain, great video as usual, but this time a notch better! Two questions for you: 1) Have you used the adhesive sandpaper strip in the seat tube or just grip paste? 2) Do you know if direct mount for the real derailleur work on shimano ultegra Di2 R8150? Thanks man in advance!
That orome bar is a pain in the ass to route cables. I sold mine and got myself a controltech sirocco integrated handlebar. It’s a 2 piece handlebar and stem combo. Easy cable routing and maintenance in the future. And i can adjust the angle and can easily fit it to a new frame.
Some aero all un one bar/stems are easier than others especially with all mechanical. The bars with underside with the removable covers are a better choice perhaps.
I have a question about the bottom bracket. Actually, it should be a PressFit bearing or? The designation SPF30 suggests it at least. The PF stands for PressFit. But I'm confused because the bearing is not pressed but screwed. I have ordered my frame with BB30-24. Should therefore be the same as that in the video. I'm a little confused right now and do not know which one to buy.
Hi Patrick, it is indeed a pressfit bottom bracket - Press fit - The cups of the frame have no thread, they are a carbon surface. - www.bike-components.de/assets/a/Pictured-is-the-bottom-bracket-shell-on-a-Factor-L-95c6c65984b92eb007d85bb4fa6ebf8c.webp - Threaded - The threads for the bottom brackets are actually part of the frame. i0.wp.com/www.londoncyclist.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/bottom-bracket-area.jpg For this bottom bracket it's a bit unique, the two parts of the bottom bracket screw into themselves which basically presses them into the frame (if that makes sense). A normal press fit bottom bracket can be used as well. From my experience having the thread makes it easier to install. You can also press one side into the frame, then screw the other side into the side that you pressed. That's what we done on this build - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VO4jzyODZ10.html
@@JourdainColeman mine arrived today and it looks great. Do you manage to remove the red retainiion ring and get the spring and ratchet out of the hubs?
I bought the same saddle. As I think you showed in a previous video, it's a very flexible shell. I've only ridden it once, and could feel it sinking down when I sat on it. So I think to have the same saddle height I'd need to raise it some. But I wondered, do you think the flexibility will create a stability problem on the bike? All the higher end saddles I have are solid except for the padding, nowhere near this much flex.
@@JourdainColeman it didn't feel bad, but definitely felt like it was too low. I might try it again but my instinct tells me to keep things stable, a more solid saddle would be better.
Thank you jourdian, please could you help me with my issue, i had bought this frame with 100mm stem and 400mm handlebar, the problem is the bike shaking to much while standing accelerating for the climb... could it be wrong handlebar size ?
When you say shaking, do you mean you don't feel stable? Mine is ok with narrower bars which are normally more twitchy.What bars did you have on your previous bike? Where they wider?
@@JourdainColeman Yes I feel 90% unstable + I feel like I could fall at any moment... My previous bike was a cannondale Synapse with a 420mm handlebar.... Do you think the problem is more for me than for the bike???.... by the way am using Winspace Lun Hyper D67 wheels
@@JourdainColeman Yeah, they told me they can send me the threaded BB which they called inferior to a regular pf30. I got it from german shop. Got an apology and they changed info on their website after i told them i got something different.
The madness of apparently modern integrated cockpits, is perfectly encapsulated in the first 4 minutes.....ah, I'll pass on that job. 'Grease the spindle because it's going to be spinning like a sewing machine on Crack' 😂😂
hahah... get the legs spinning!! Yeah, it's a task to install the cables. Ideally an integrated cockpit would be combined with an electric groupset so only 2 brake cables are routed which would be plenty of space.
@@DaveCM The torque is indeed the torque, but how tight a fastener is at a given torque is affected by the friction between the bolt and thread! Lubrication reduces that friction, which in turn reduces torque needed for a given bolt tension/clamping force. With lubrication you need less force at your lever (tool) to overcome that reduced friction to stretch the bolt a given amount. If you tighten a wet bolt to a dry torque spec you've actually increased the tension and clamping force by a significant amount beyond spec which can definitely become an issue when clamping carbon part. Hope the explanation makes sense!
Holy Schmolly. Still no ride feel review 😂 you’re really milking it. Haha By the time you upload a video, a new model would have superseded this Evo already 🤣🤣🤣
I had many cuts on my hands from work. Also I had a wrist support, which I didn't want to cover in grease and oil, as I injured my wrist in an accident.
Nicely filmed. But the build is useless price wise. Canyon Aeroad CF SL 8 Ultegra is £3800 without a season discount. Canyon would keep the value much much better.
