Looking for crank/chainring options.
I live in quite flat lands so planning to run something from 46 to 50t chainring.
I see some people struggle to run 44t chainrings, some do it 48t somehow. Could someone tell me how can I run biggest chainring on this frame? I plan on running Sram 1x mullet setup.

The bike has now 500 km, I find it very comfortable with the 30mm tires. I left a couple of extra spacers, at least one will be removed.
The final weight is around 7.4 kg without pedals.

Next upgrade the wheels, at least 50mm  ;)

Where did you get the decals?! If this is the same bike that was posted on bdc-mag forum that means I might be able to source them as well  ;)

SMF is very nice. Maybe just update to the newest version to avoid borken pages? I like it here.

I asked the Magene cutomer support and the answer was:

"Dear Customer,
Good day. Thanks for your support on Magene.

Regarding your inquiry, we need to clarify that our P515 is compatible with T47 BBs, including both the 68 and 86 versions.

Thanks for your cooperation in advance.
Best regards,
Alecia"

On AliEx (Magene shop) you can read:
Not Support T47-86.5mm and BB386 bottom bracket !

So at least half of the CS answer is wrong.
I wonder about the other half.

Lol before I opened the image in full size, I thought you went with some crazy 4-spoke carbon wheels :D

2nd lol on that wahoo case :D

How do you like the handlebars? Good fit?

I expected the cockpit to be something really stiff, but there's a bit of flex in the drop which makes it quite comfy overall while riding.

Still need to sort out the headset play. Both metal and plastic compression ring shipped with the cockpit aren't 100% tight on my bearing. Nothing dramatic for now tho, but i'll probably need to get another headset.

And yeah, cat ears are A E R O lmao

Yoho, the famous jailed Peter, Nicole's bike store, .. they all use the same mold if you ask me.
There is a bigger player behind the frame. Tantan is just a reseller that chooses not to put fake branding on the frame.
But where these are being made is a mystery.


I agree and everyone wants to know who is making it!  ;D — Tan Tan can openly sell the frames, but there are subtle differences that seem designed to skirt around IP infringement.

One example: seat posts don’t interchange between the X68 and the SL8. The X68 is about 1mm wider, so while it looks nearly identical the difference are so subtle you just don't notice them and from what i can see this is the only differences this is Just enough of a difference to avoid a direct copy, I think.

Ah, I know what you mean. I didn't have a screw with a narrower head either. It's just a question of appearance.

And I didn't even have an additional top cap. And you don't need one. I've been riding it for 5,000 km now and have been able to adjust the headset well.

I also swapped the compression plug for a shorter one, which fitted better.

Don't forget to install the fork cone and the centering ring at the top.

Hey sorry, but what is the right order to put this together? I'm a bit confused. Cheers
