Re: ICAN P1 build Neat, sounds like it’ll be a fun bike. I’d imagine if you’re using it a lot you might want to upgrade the suspension but that’s a great value bike overall.

Chinese floating rotors Has anyone been running Chinese disc brake rotors? How have they done and how do they compare to others? Just ordered some ZTTO 203/180. (https://a.aliexpress.com/_dUKUdCL )

They look awfully similar to these https://www.uberbikecomponents.com/category/482/Radiator-Disc-Brake-Rotors, which have many good reviews.

I suppose anything will be an upgrade over my RT54s  ::)

Re: Stone or Pass Quest Chainrings - AliExpress Sorry I can't offer specific experience but I've been very happy with my Chinese chainrings in the sub $10 range. The paint on the teeth wears off after about 4 miles but other than that they seem to just plug along. I had one at about 800 miles before I lost a couple bolts and seriously warped it, but I can't imagine any ring would survive that.

Re: Chinese floating rotors The rotors finally arrived! Sadly park season is over and that is really the only place where I see extensive prolonged braking, but I will be testing them on my fat bike throughout the winter. I have only done a little testing, but so far they seem legit. There is no play between the carrier and the braking surface itself. There is no pulsing in the brakes as numberzero was talking about with the other discs. The packaging was pretty sub par, and of them is slightly out of true.

There is also a warning on the back that says not to use them for downhill or aggressive all mountain use! :o The aliexpress photo did show them seriously smoking one, so I guess time will tell. Anyway, I will keep this updated as time goes on but so far they seem to OK.

Re: Chinese floating rotors I've now got about 880 miles on the front 180mm rotor. Functionality is perfect, no issues there. It does have some pulsing action to it, but this isn't noticed on trails or hard braking. Main point there is don't get these for a road bike. My only other issue is that it has got a pretty good squeak high pitch squeak to it.

My verdict is that these are definitely safe and worth the money. If there is no cooling effect, at least they look cool.
