    Gravel Cycling

    I built an AliExpress gravel bike

    Well actually it’s 50% form AliExpress. I have ride it 100miles so far this week, and still alive. I can’t say how’s the riding experience because I haven’t ride super expensive gravel bike. I managed to make it weight 10kg ish.

    Here is the list:

    2014 Boardman CX team frame £150

    AliExpress:
    Sensah SRX pro 1×11 group set £80
    Sensah 11-46t MTB cassette £20
    Senicx PR3 42t crankset £55
    Juin Tech R1 hydraulic brake £150
    Toseek TF one Carbon seat pole £15
    Ryet 3D print carbon seat £30
    Ztto PF30 convert to 24mm spindle £25

    Non-AliExpress:

    Redshift suspension stem £170
    Prime cycling Orra wheel set and disc £200

      Well the only thing now is to actually go do a cross race on it. And report back here as to how it went. (I’ve done 8 seasons of racing on my Chinese carbon bike, btw).

      That’s awesome. How does it feel to ride so far? I know you mentioned not having ridden more expensive bikes but it all depends on how it feels for you.

      Does the crankset have an aluminum or steel spindle? I’ve looked at that one a bunch of times now but can’t tell based on the description.
