Re: TanTan TT-X38 Build
Does anyone have an update on the ride experience of this frame after some more mileage? Any issues, creaking or slippage to worry about? No issues for me except for the usual sharp edges inside the frame at cable entry and exit ports here and there. But I consider this normal for a frame in this price range. No issues with the BB threads. It's too early however for a verdict. The bike is sitting on the trainer most of the time ATM and I've literally done the first outdoor ride in weeks yesterday. I'm still dialing in my position on this frame. Not 100% happy with it yet so I need more time on it. What I can say is that it feels surprisingly comfy. But I do ride wider tires on this so I can't compare it like for like with the road bikes I had before. The beefy BB area feels plenty stiff. More so than on my other bikes which is particularly noticeable (and visible) on the turbo. I like that. All in all, the bike feels good for sustained efforts and holding a high average speed. I also like the feeling when sprinting (though I suck at sprinting so my opinion might not be worth much). I like the feeling less when climbing which might be because I'm not yet 100% satisfied with my seated position. But also during standing efforts, the bike feels somehow slower on climbs. I feel it has to do with the bigger tire volume and the tires squishing more during standing efforts. I'm still experimenting with tire pressure. I'm at around 60psi up front and 65 in the back for 28c tires (measuring 31mm). But particularly when doing standing efforts, it feels a bit soft to me. I'm 82kg, so on the heavy side.

Re: Yuanan Carbon fiber wheelsets Year end discount promotion
Removed PLA: I've deleted a couple of your posts. Feel free to speak your grievances, just please do it in a way without insulting people. We can do without terms like "typical shitbag, idiotic, typical internet hypocrite" etc. I realize you probably think that the forum and myself are being "fragile' but that is just the standard we try to maintain here. Thanks for understanding. January 02, 2024, 07:14:34 AM |

Re: Question about L-Twoo ERX rear derailleur
Thanks for the replies everyone. Based on other images things see to be somewhat normal. There is also a bit of play in the derailleur but that isn't super abnormal given derailleur linkage. The shifting works well, however I can still hear a slight clicking in most gears like the chain isn't quite aligned and is slightly rubbing against the pickup teeth on the cog which annoys the heck out of me. Since this bike is on the trainer 24/7 (I haven't even installed the calipers) it is maybe more noticeable than if it was outside and there was more ambient noise around. That said, when my cable activated 105 is dialed in perfectly I hear zero clicking noise.
