i also think that chiner frames are a bit expensive rn, I'm searching a cx bike and I have seen chiner framesets and they cost at least 600 euros shipped, in the second hand market you can buy previous gen tcx at like 1200 euros(a friend told me that he sells a tcx old gen at 1100 and he has max 2500km and he never raced or trained cx it was basically a road \ gravel bike for him) and I have seen one new gen at 1450, and remember that right now in some race you need uci approval and chiners arent approved, I think right now it only make sense if you sell them with your brand or have a small team and you buy them in bulk with cheaper prices (I think for mtb it make sense btw)

yes its pretty sad, in the end i bought a specialized epic ht frame (not sworks) almost new lol, I bought it for 650 so its basically a bit more than a chiner frame, I think in the future I'm still going to buy a chiner bike but my dad was scared for the experience lol, but I think this shit happen also with famous brands, for example I know a dude that broke a (most famous brand in mtb that is not specialized lol) while riding normally during an xc race and they didn't replaced the frame, so its probably still better to buy a chiner so u basically can buy 2 frame at the cost of 1, or buy second hand and its basically the same price as chiners but with a better resale value

Hello, i bought a ztto cassette and i did 800km the chain and also chainrings are new, chainring rotor and chain are ybn waxed (actually are 2), the deralleur Is an old generation slx, It keeb skipping on the 2/3 hardest cogs when i put something more of 600w sometimes also less, i hate also qnother sunshine cassette that Is new bit It works perfectly with the same setup (but hardest Gear i think Is 11), It could be that deralleur (most likely jokey wheels have play) the kmc link isnt good for that chain or the cassette Is bad, visually It seems ok but idk maybe i should shave some materiale somwhere but idk, in the next few days in going to test It with my other bike that has xtr deralleur and i know that Is perfect
Tbh i am tired to be so unlucky with bike parte lol (also from big game brands)

In the end trifox didnt warranty the frame because they said that i jumped (used this bike only for gravel riding) and then they never responded again, i wanted tò call the service manager but obviusly never called, then i used a second Number tò see if they Just gosted me or they werent online, they responded in 3 seconds but obviusly when i said Who i was never responded again lol, dont buy a trifox frame because its good until It works then they basically scam you with warranty, the frame had Just One year, for me the problem Is sprinting but they never said tò not sprint, they also never said tò no Jump when i bought the frame tbh, so dont get scammed by trifox

The frame was bought around 1 year ago, exactly 8/12/22, i bought It in the official website so i dont have any AliExpress warranty, if i have tò ship It back its not cheap but its cheaper than buyng a new branded frame, i think its stupido ti send back a broken frame btw, for example i know that branded frames want a video when you cut or do a big damage to the frame

So i should basically buy a new frame? They didnt even responded tò me, i wrote them at 10pm Yesterday (i am in Italy) and i didnt had any responce about that right now(14:10 pm in Italy) im sad because was a good frame but during a ride i snapped, i am probably going to buy a reputable brand (idk of Scott scale or epic ht), i dont have problema for shopping because its and entire frame and the value Is a bit bigger but i Hope they replace It because It isnt my fault and i am pretty light (68kg)

to be honest i dont know but when i bought it the frame was listed a lot less (8\12\2022) and probably is pretty accurate because I weighted it on two scales and there was a difference but wasn't more than 10 grams, they probably changed with a different supplier or is listed more for tollerances, btw the bike for me is good and all my friend that race xc against me(juniores in Italy) are impressed about the weight of the bike (xtr, formula r1r,rotor carbon cranks with pm, carbon wheels are coming today, fox 32 sc......) and I spent like 2600 not more, some components I bought them second hand
if you want i could send you an excel file with all components price and weight, it isn't so accurate but isn't that bad
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1037JGuPYNjd9TxGat7EcIUgHLV7Xzng3HSC_oluY6NU/edit?usp=sharing
the price of r1r seem strange but I bought second hand at 50 euros for the set looool, I had magura t8 but they didn't work well but they changed them in warranty
so if someone want new mt8 I sell them at 220 euros

https://www.aliexpress.com/i/3256803985346155.html Trifox SDY20 860g $665

https://rinascltabike.com/29er-carbon-mtb-hardtail-boost-frame-913g/ Rinasclta 913g $719 EDIT: Looks like this is actually an Airwolf YFM053
I have trifox sdy 20 and its a good frame its as light as the epic ht sworks I weighted it with hardware 850g in size L without seatpost clamp,i think it isn't the stiffest frame but it isn't that bad and sometimes you don't notice it until you reach like  1600w and more but it could be the crankset tbh
