Re: your thought on Shimano Ultegra grouset on aliexpress ???
As what they sell are not domestically manufactured, you won't see real saving from them. If you can find them locally, especially if they are cheaper, go get them locally as it's generally safer and quicker. Even if there's any saving after the shipping cost and duties are factored in, it'd need extra time to arrive to your door. As the supply is chocked, some sellers might want to get some extra from their items. Use something like aliprice.com to see an item's price history. In my opinion, AliX should not be your first option for these non-chiner products. July 14, 2021, 10:29:48 PM |

Juin Tech GT-F brake calipers (dual piston)
The thing I love about binge shipping on AliX is that feeling of Christmas every day as packages show up at the door. These are the flat mount dual piston, cable-actuated hydraulic calipers from Juin Tech. As far as I know, these are rebranded and sold as Yokozuna Ultimas (Ultimo?) as well. Comes with two sets of what appears to be organic brake pads. Not strictly a Chiner part, as they are not from Mainland China. 332 for both calipers, pads, and hardware. Maybe a bit less, as the cardboard spacers were still in the calipers. Cost: about $222USD. July 17, 2021, 12:01:43 PM |

Re: Light Carbon LCES004 E Bike Build
ill get some better pics when there's light out and some of the battery cover too(just realized i didnt have any) the bike rides great and the motor provides more than enough power for everything that we ride. it has 5 power levels and the highest i went was 3 for a tough climb but most of the time 1 or 2 was good enough to keep the climbs pretty relaxed. if this was for me id have cut the stem down and used a bit narrower tires but my dad loves riding feeling like hes rolling on pillows and being a bit more upright. you definitely feel the weight of the motor+battery on tighter turns but the extra confidence and stability coming downhill with some speed is a nice tradeoff. well that and making climbs a walk in the park  dont know if ill be swapping to an EMTB any time soon ( actually pretty excited for the AM831, if it ever ships haha) but im glad i was able to build one to continue riding with my dad. OH! and total cost if anyone is curious, was $3309.21. everything was bought new except for fork and shock but they were both practically brand new take off's ohh and i think this can be moved back down to the ebikes section as i have finished the build

Re: LCFS 917 - 120/120 mm - MTB
I got it from Light Carbon. The last 1.5 years I have ordered for myself: 2* LCFS911 1* LCFS958 1* LCFS947 And for my friends: 2*LCFS947 1*LCFS713 So when I wanted to order a LCFS911 for myself in size L they said that the delivery time was long but they instead offered med the LCFS917 in size L that they had in stock. I liked the way it looked and the geometry was interesting, so i ordered the LCFS917. August 04, 2021, 12:38:10 AM |

Re: Ican S3 XC Frame
Thanks, I think I will go with the FM936 considering they ship with a fork and for a better price. Might want to confirm that, when I was looking at them they offered a rear shock, at a reasonable additional cost. I know their product imagery shows a fork fitted but not necessarily included.

Re: BXT-MTB-097 build
That groupset is using a SunRace 12 speed cassette that is compatible with standard HG freehubs so you don't need a special 12 speed hub on the wheels. 140mm of travel on the fork is really going to throw off the geometry and handing of that frame. It is pretty standard cross country oriented geo that is a little dated compared to some, but you could probably get away with a 120mm. It was meant for a 100mm fork though.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame
Have you ridden the Auron yet? Am about to pull the trigger on an EQ but can't find any rider reviews yet. I have ridden the non eq version of the Auron back in 2018 or so, and it was smooooth. Then I went on and used a durolux 170mm for 2 years now, with great success, those things are beasts. Yes my build is a Mullet right now....we'll see how that goes. Stupid shipping delays...I only need a brake hose for my rear disc brake. August 26, 2021, 10:49:37 AM |

Another tantan fm699 size small for the kiddo
This is my 3rd TanTan carbon frame I've built up. A 699, a 299, and this fm699 Put this little guy together relatively easily with some spare parts from the stash for my 13 yo TanTan frames have been relatively easy and pleasure to build. I admittedly have not tried other brands but i'm not one to have high tolerance for surprises during builds..hence the good words. anyway here at 24.09#'s heavy tires thats for sure with a full squeeze of juice in there tho
 link to my first Fm699 http://chinertown.com/index.php?topic=2978.0 August 27, 2021, 12:02:05 AM |

Re: Another tantan fm699 size small for the kiddo
Its for my 13 old. he rides bmx and am trying to get him started on mtb. This was a build with some left over tires from the other bikes. Once he goes through these and feels comfortable I"ll give him some other choices. He'll prefer grip over a lighter set at this point. Maybe some Rekons next. For Texas Hill Country trails, these Maxxis are actually perfect. Too bad theyre so heavy. A plush bike to get started is what i'm after right now so these will be just fine till he gets acquainted. All depends on how he rides it. I expect him dropping the seat and hitting the pump track or some short track for fun. With all the parts we have here i could have built this a few different ways. Stay tuned when I unlazy and throw a Rockshox dropper on there. I want this tossable and thrashable. August 27, 2021, 07:48:47 AM |
