Re: ICAN triaero A9 Funnily enough I was just looking for a frame similar to the Merida Reacto, I'll definitely be keeping this one in mind, looking forward to the build. Can I ask how you were able to work out what stem height? I have been hesitant to go straight to an aero frame for a build as with most other types of frame you have a bit of leeway with where to attach the bars. For this reason I might end up with the A8. Enjoy the build it looks like a great frame!

Re: ICAN triaero A9 Hello. I just got an ICAN A9 the other day and assembled it. The accuracy of the frame was very good.
I won't go into impressions as I haven't run much distance yet, but the flats are as fast as the Bullet Train.

The routing took a lot of time, as did the FSA ACR.

FYI.
Size: 52 (I am 177cm tall, and 82cm inseam)
Group set: Ultegra 8020 (crankset with power meter 6800)
Wheels: Carbonal Tubular Wheels 50mm deep
 Weight: 7.3kg (without pedals and bottle cages)

ZRace Disc Brakes A converstion started about the Zrace brakes in the bike frame section.
We can continue here.

Re: ICAN Triaero A9 Finally, all done. Heaps of fun!

Wanted to cable with full housing and managed in the end, but I did find that some of the bends in the steering area were a bit tight.
The ZRACE disc pads are not very good and will change those immediately.

Rides well and looking forward to the first long ride!

Re: ZTTO MTB M1 Boost hubs 28H 54T Ratchet Bearings:

The Rear Hub Driver (Microspline) uses 2x - 6802-2RS bearings.
The Rear Hub uses 2x - 6902-2RS bearings.
The Front Hub uses 2x - 18307-2RS bearings  (for DT Swiss Bearings: HSBXXX00N2148S)

I built a wheelset using these hubs, they look great so far but replaced the bearings proactively (Japanese Bearings, EZO, or IJK).  I used DT Swiss Spoke Calculator (which was spot on for these as well when I chose DT 240S Straight Pull, 28H for the front hub) to calculate spoke lengths.

Coupled this hub with the DT Swiss EX511 Rims (29er, 28H), Sapim CX-Sprint Spokes, and DT Swiss Squorx Pro Brass Nipples (ProLock).   If I were to do it again, I'd go with the SAPIM Double Square Brass nipples instead.   The Squorx Pro Brass nipples I got are colored black, I'm assuming the coating DT Swiss used added some thickness to the nipples and it was a pain to get the DT Swiss Squorx Nipple Driver to mate with some of the nipples properly.

Re: ZTTO MTB M1 Boost hubs 28H 54T Ratchet Some feedback on this.   Took it for my first ride today, tried to put some power down goingnuphill with the hubs and the star ratchet broke.   Maybe I put on too much DT Swiss Grease on the mating surface when I assembled it?  Maybe the steel used on the star ratchets ain't up to snuff for the amount of teeth?   Anyways, once it slipped, looks like the teeth got damaged and it didn't want to engage anymore.

Had to hunt down a DT Swiss Genuine 54T Star Ratchet (pain in the ass to find in stock at our local bike shop) service kit (117$ ouch), and installed it. Climbed one of our local hills and it looks like it's holding just fine.
