I wonder when (if at all) they changed tire clearance on the Fluidity. I've been told that the last iteration (2020/21) of the Fluidity would take 28mm wide tires, so I wonder if the 2016 model was identical to that or to the 2013-15 version you guys mentioned here now (where 25mm effective width seems to be the limit)EvilEuro wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 10:46 pmI have a 2014 Fluidity and I presently run 25mm Continental GP5000 Tubeless tyres on them. It's a close fit and definitely could not take a larger size.steveadore wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 3:06 pmDoes anyone what the max. tire width an older (2016), rim brake model Fluidity will take w/out rubbing issues? I recall early reviews back around 2013 were complaining that clearance was only good for 23mm tires, and the most recent (2020-21) Fluidity model was claimed to accommodate 28mm (real, measured width) tires, but I cannot really find any information about 2016 (I have no idea when the Fluidity was updated, but the model I have in mind still had BB30, not BB386)
I previously had tried a set of Schwalbe Pro 1 25mm years ago. Those balloons caused a rub on the inside of the crown of the front fork. Never used them again.
Newer models will definitely clear larger tyre sizes. I look forward to riding 28's when I eventually pull the trigger and get an AdH 01 when they're available again.

Hi guys,
Sorry, but i didn’t read all the posts in this thread. Anyway - I am thinking of purchasing an Alpe d huez frameset, but still could not decide between the 01 vs 21. it has to be rim brakes. There’s a 1000 Euro price difference between the models - anyone who has ridden both of them and can compare ?
Any opinions - suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

I have an 01 disc and a friend has a 21 rim. I rode it once and couldn't really tell any difference. I'm 64kg and did a few sprints up hill (~900W) and coulnd't feel any difference on stiffness. Marginally, I think the 21 rode a biiiit smoother, but I think tire pressure will have a larger impact than frame differences. I'll see if I can get frame weights, but the difference was very small from what I remember.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your opinion.Perp wrote:I have an 01 disc and a friend has a 21 rim. I rode it once and couldn't really tell any difference.

I’ve found a Alpe 01 frameset, but with Aktiv Fork - is it possible to replace the fork separately / purchase a normal fork from time afterwards?

Usually it would be possible to order the fork and from what I remember they were around €400/500 some time ago but not sure what's the current situation if they stop production for the ADH 01.Ferdi77 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 2:36 pmThank you so much.

However, if the ADH 01 you're interested is the one sold by Alltricks, I would definitely avoid. Just bought one from them after Bellati told me it was a 4 month wait, so took the chance and got it from Alltricks. They shipped me the wrong size (was the only one left in my size in their website) and now after 2 weeks they don't even answer my emails and haven't had any reply from their customer service, to the point that I will give them another week and after that I'm revolving to a lawyer.
So at the moment I'm stuck with a frame I can't ride and 3K short in my bank account. The frame was also badly packed and the box arrived all bashed up so wouldn't be surprised if the carbon was damaged.

Alltricks were selling that ADH01 frame for 1,999 euros earlier this summer, so I was also quite tempted but wanted to make sure the proprietary seatpost was included and sent them multiple messages for several weeks (since the sparse description did ot not mention the seatpost). By the time they finally responded (and confirmed the seatpost was included), they had increased the price by more than 50% (to around 3,000 euros). And they offered me a 5% discount from the new price when I complained about this. I was furious, to be honest. But maybe this was for the better because I read in a French forum that this particular colorway might be prone to peeling paint (there were a couple of guys complaining about it). Not sure if this is really an issue, but combined with the price increase, it put me off that particular frame sold on Alltricks.Pato wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 5:49 pmUsually it would be possible to order the fork and from what I remember they were around €400/500 some time ago but not sure what's the current situation if they stop production for the ADH 01.Ferdi77 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 2:36 pmThank you so much.

In the past, I had good experience with Alltricks (ordered some clothing from them a few times), but shipping the wrong size badly packaged definitely rings some alarm bells
So based on what I’m reading here, the 2023 ADH lineup is 01 in disc only and internal cabling, with a big price bump (TBD), while the 21 as the only option for rim remaining? Will the 21 also have internal cabling?
Bellati seems to have already removed the 01 rim from their website as well. I was hoping to maybe snag one of the last L sized frames in that beautiful red.
A bit disappointing if true, that consumers have less and less choice every year. I just want a bike that’s easy to work on and doesn’t have all the extra faff of disc.

As far as I can oversee it: the 21 model is the one with regular seatpost and normal Headset, so the one rim model still remaining is the one you can easily work on.MDecius wrote:So based on what I’m reading here, the 2023 ADH lineup is 01 in disc only and internal cabling, with a big price bump (TBD), while the 21 as the only option for rim remaining?

I see, but spending that much for a frame set really makes me think, I would like to have exactly my desired bike not a compromise. I’m not really that chuffed about the seat stays/top tube junction on the 21. The junction on the 01 is so much nicer looking.Ferdi77 wrote:As far as I can oversee it: the 21 model is the one with regular seatpost and normal Headset, so the one rim model still remaining is the one you can easily work on.MDecius wrote:So based on what I’m reading here, the 2023 ADH lineup is 01 in disc only and internal cabling, with a big price bump (TBD), while the 21 as the only option for rim remaining?

Hiya,
quick question...
When cutting the steerer tube on my AdH01 last weekend, we noticed that there is some kind of hard rubber/soft plastic inserted down the steerer tube. It _looks_ as if this is by design but I have not found any information on that anywhere. It's white and approx 8cm long. When you tap the steerer tube you hear that the insert is dampening but IMHO this isn't a part of the Aktiv design.
Does anyone of you know what this is and if its there by design? BTW - the Aktiv fork weighs 540g, a bit more than I had expected even for an Aktiv fork.
If it's not supposed to be there, I'd try to pull the insert out somehow.
thx
niko

Hi guys, another question:
I have an offer for a complete R8000 rim brake built Alpe 21 for 3100 Euros, available at my LBS.
I could also order an Alpe 01 rim brake frameset for 3500 Euros.
An alpe21 frameset would cost me 2500 euros.
Any opinions ? Which one should I get?
