Re: Z RACE - Chain
Hi all. In case it helps someone, I have used the Zrace chains on an 11-speed gravel bike and on a 9-speed road bike. No problems or "stretching" after 300km. There is a shop, down the road from us, that does steel frame bikes and they fit Zrace chains to their basic model gravel/ adventure bikes.

ICAN Triaero A9
My ICAN Triaero A9 frame arrived a while back and have finally had some time to start building. The frame looks good, everything fits together properly and looks well finished. Looking forward to this build!  . Some photos attached. The customer service was excellent (I dealt with Debby). I live in Beijing so delivery was just a few days. Check with them before ordering as I understand that certain items/ paint jobs may take longer than indicated. Also, with the Covid situation changing all the time there could be further delays. Weight (measured with a Super B digital scale, accurate to 5g). Frame, size 58: 1.205kg with hanger Fork: 0.420kg Seatpost: 0.275kg Handlebars (HB40), width 400mm x 100mm stem: 0.355kg I have ordered some 60mm carbon wheels from a supplier on Taobao who has good reviews. No English I think, so we’ll see what I get  . I’ll post some pics when I get them. Thinking I’ll go 12 speed on this one if I can find the right components. January 14, 2021, 09:43:42 PM |

Re: Price & availability check...
The price range can be as low as $300-400. Here is a random selection: Velobuild $379 to $529 Trifox - special on the X16 at $689, The X8 is $599 Rinascltabike $679-$1300 Ican $535 for the A18 - $900 for the fully integrated A9 Winspace $1180 to $1480 Shipping costs vary between those who have warehouses in different parts of the world. Round $80-$120 from China. The basic matt black is often quicker to deliver and paint jobs can be up to a month depending on the seller. January 18, 2021, 06:27:35 AM |

Re: Groupset Stock (or lack of!)
Not much going on in China either, the local bike shop is buying cheap bikes whole and stripping them for the groupsets  . If you can buy off Taobao (Chinese Ali) there is a SRAM Force here: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.271.8df32f97Q209lG&id=628252926269&ns=1&abbucket=19#detail. The store is good, bought from them before and they seem to allow overseas shipping.

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! April 06, 2021, 03:08:56 AM |
