Hey guys, just wondering if you have any Chinese flat pedal recommendations? I like a bigger pedal, preferably aluminium but not that bothered.

29er / ceccotti xc build
« on: July 27, 2022, 08:23:19 AM »
Finished up my budget ceccotti carbon hardtail, I think it turned out looking really nice, as for performance it hasn't been out yet so "to be determined" 
my biggest concern isnt the frame tbh its the bolany fork, but i took it all apart threadlocked the important stuff and put fresh oil in the air chamber with sram butter on everything else so fingers crossed, seems solid enough just basic. build is coming in just under 10kg, so not the lightest but not bad either considering the budget parts. Cable routing was easy enough during the build, only tricky part was routing the dropper cable around the bb shell and up the seattube.
Frame - ceccotti carbon hardtail
Fork - Bolany boost
Wheels - parts bin wheel build, novatech 28h rear hub, superstar 32h front, sapim d light spokes all around, spank 350 28h rim (non vibrocore) rear, spank 350 32h rim (vibrocore) front
Shifter/derailleur - shimano deore m6100
cassette - sram NX
Chain - sram GX
cranks - fonovo phantom cranks
chainring - goodtaste gxp oil slick
pedals - oneup composite
BB - shimano xt
Brakes - Meroca M4 4 pots
Rotors - 160mm light weight AliExpress
Bars - all in one AliExpress carbon
grips - ODI foam
saddle - alixpress super leggara clone
dropper - zoom 27.2
dropper remote - ztto oil slick
Frame protection - added bits of alixpress clear protection in parts, didnt turn out great but not terrible either.
Tyres - barzo front, mezecal rear

Component Deals & Selection / Koozer custom wheelset
« on: January 19, 2022, 05:28:33 AM »
Just after buying a set of koozer wheels custom built for €175 on Ali, probably take a while to get here but the service so far has been amazing. I got them built up with koozer boost 390 hubs (6 pawl, 72 engagement), 29inch sun Duroc 40 rims (36id) and 2 oil slick spokes per wheel with a microspline freehub. If these turn out good I'll buying a lot more from these guys. Super quick to reply and everything I asked for was given. Even sent me pictures before shipping to ensure it was what I wanted.

Component Deals & Selection / Chinese forks
« on: January 06, 2022, 06:28:09 AM »
Hey guys, I've decided to do a full Chinese build with a highball clone I got last year and haven't built up yet. Has anyone tried any 120/130mm Chinese forks (ztto, bolaney, himalo) that are anybit decent? Obviously im not expecting anything near fox or rockshox but I'm curious.
Have a set suntour raidons (€ 123,18 30%OFF | Suntour 2017 Raidon Fork 32mm 27.5 Wire-controlled 2018 RAIDON 34BOOST Fork 29 Shoulder-controlled tapered barrel shaft 15x110mm
https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0mGDoY) on Ali basket for good money which are probably the safer bet but I like trying weird parts

Component Deals & Selection / good all in one bike lights for night riding
« on: August 14, 2021, 06:16:11 AM »
Hey guys, with winter coming again I'm looking to buy some new lights for a bit of night riding, has anyone got any good one from china, definitely prefer the all in one style that just clamps to your bars as opposed to trying to route cables around your frame to a battery, also if anyone has any decent helmet lights suggest away

29er / ICAN P9 build
« on: February 10, 2021, 09:51:37 AM »
Hi guys, gonna start a thread on here for my p9 build, hopefully have it finished in around a month. Its taking me a while to get the parts together as I want to do a high end build with it. I've gone with a 180mm fork up front as availability of 170mm was non existent at time of ordering, hopefully wont destroy the feel of the bike but i can always reduce it.
Frame - ICAN p9 custom blue paint
Wheels - ICAN 40mm wide carbon rims with novatech 902b hubs
Fork - 2021 rockshox lyrik ultimate 29er 180mm 42mm offset
Shock - EXT storia 210x55 with both a 550lbs + 575lbs spring
Groupset - Shimano XTR 12sp shifter + derailleur and hopefully the cranks if I can find them, i'll use XT for the cassette.
Brakeset - Hope v4s
Headset - Chris king dropset in silver
Bottom bracket - Chris king threadfit in silver
Rotors - Magura MDR-P, F=220 R=200, ti brake bolts in silver
Adapters - alixpress job
Seatpost collar - hope 35mm silver
Handlebar - Oneup carbon 35mm bar @ 800mm
Stem - Oneup 35mm stem
Grips - Ergon GE1 Evo Factory
Tools - Oneup EDC stash tool in steerer
Bash guard - oneup
Tyres - WTB verdict wet 2.5 front, WTB judge 2.4 rear
Frame protection - Full custom invisiwrap (not installed by me) on frame and rear rim
Thats all I've currently got but I am hoping to finish it off with:
Cranks - XTR m9100
Cassette - XT 10-51 12sp
Chain - XTR
Dropper - SRAM AXS 170mm (got a magura vyron 150mm instead)
Pedals - Oneup alu pedals in silver
Saddle - Ergon Sm Enduro in oil slick
Hopefully it all works out I will attach a few pictures of what I currently have.

29er / ceccotti 29er HT
« on: June 24, 2020, 06:21:39 AM »
Hey guys,
Bought this frame (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33031386172.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dMbr2M8) from Aliexpress over a month ago, not really sure who actually makes the frame (still waiting for it to arrive) and am in the process of sourcing parts for it. Currently looking at forks and have found a great deal on some rockshox recon gold 130mm for 250euro, i was going to put 120mm forks on as i felt that was probably the safest amount with an unknown frame like this but whats yer opinion?
Anyone bought this frame before?
