Re: ZTTO BB92 BB86 threaded bottom brackets. I'm sure that sanding wheel would be perfect for taking a fraction of a millimetre off the plastic caps. I'll give that a go next time I have to remove the crankset... Not looking forward to punching it back out though...

Re: ICAN triaero A9 The HB017 is their older model of handlebar. They currently have no stock on the new one until the new year.

The frame comes with TAs that have a lever like a quick release so I bought these TAs from AliExpress. No issues so far.

Re: ICAN triaero A9 There is a major shortage of most cycling equipment right now. I heard there is a shortage of DTswiss hubs too. I have been buying most stuff high quality second hand on eBay and I am pretty happy. Lots of people selling barely used equipment at a good price because it doesn't fit them, wrong crank length, derailleur cage size, chainring size etc.

Oh I am glad you mentioned BBs. I found one that I cannot recommend highly enough! It's a ZTTO BB86 that has 2 parts and threads together into the frame. No need for bearing presses, just a standard BB tool. It's based off a more expensive BB called the "token ninja" which gets brilliant reviews too. China cycling on YouTube (works with winspace) recently reviewed the token BB and compared it to the hambini BB and it is pretty damn close. Easy to install, easy to remove and the threads reduce the risk of creaks.

ChinerInDetroit,

Do all their frames ship through Tianjin Mail Processing Center? If so, how long are they typically there before the next leg of shipping? My frame has been stuck there since it left the TanTan factory, going on 3 days now.

Global shipping is a mess right now. Chances are your order will have significant delays and you will drive yourself mad if you are constantly checking the tracking info. The frame probably wont arrive until late January.

Hey my Frame just arrvived very quick. It was send on Tuesday and arrived 2 days later in Germany :o
For the painting I had to wait 3 weeks! So all in all I am super happy.


But just one thing makes me suspicious..


I didn`t see any threads in this holes to attach the rear brake.. is this normal?

Please send on some pictures!

Yes the holes for mounting brake calipers shouldnt be threaded. a bolt screws directly into the caliper from below so threads are not needed. look at the pictures in another A9 thread: http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3123.0.html

TanTan (Lisa) are sending out the spare derailleur and handlebar spacers via EMS. I might wait for spacers to arrive. China Post are predicting 2 weeks. We are in 5km from home lockdown, so I wont be able to do much cycling until 5th March.

I was wondering which headset bearing is on the top and bottom of the Fork? the wider one or the narrow one?
The internal wiring is very difficult. I am waiting for a better bottom bracket than the Zrace one.
I assume that you get the internal cabling working before inserting the Bottom bracket. The front derailleur is tricky with the wire protruding from the frame. There is a small allen key bolt on this. Do you tighten it?

Here is an early picture.

5km from home... you must be Irish!

This guy has done a series of how to build up a bike with similar cable routing to yours.

Are you building for a road bike?

Yeah I have another ICAN A9 frame that i am building up. I am going to build it up with the full sensah/ZTTO groupset and some ELITE wheels. The full build should only cost me around £1400. I will compare the ride and quality to my r8020 A9 build and then sell on one of the bikes. The only thing that has me apprehensive is the braking quality of the cable actuated hydraulic brakes. I am going to use compressionless housing and I don't do any crazy mountain descents so I hope they will work for me. Once the bike is finished the sensah build will be about 500g lighter than the Ultegra build for nearly half the price! Aiming for 7.5kg fully integrated disc brake aero bike made up of 100% Chinese parts.

Yeah would be equally interested in hearing opinions on Sensah (currently googling/searching for thoughts already out there) as I'm not completely against going down that route and upgrading other bits (cranks for example) as I go!

I actually think the Empire Pro shifters look better than the Ultegra ones (all subjective I know!)

Most of the bad reviews come from the first 11 speed generation where part of the shifter was made of plastic and broke frequently. Reviews for the 2x12 version all seem to be pretty good. this one is well put together:

Re: ZTTO chains I have had good experiences with SUMC and YBN chains. All the rest have been loud, shifted like ass or worn really quick. I went with Chinese chains for their fancy colours and lower prices but i always end up back with a standard silver chain.

Re: TanTan TT-X21 frame It's probably worth making a new thread for these brakes to discuss peoples findings and expeiences. If we can find a way to get them working optimally and consistent we have a really useful piece of equipment on our hands. So much cheaper and so much lighter than a full hydraulic set up and without the fuss of bleeding brakes. TraceVelo says he has 90% of the stopping power that hydraulic gives him.
