It worked for me. See the attachment above.

How did you get it to work? Did you "collect" it prior to ordering or did you just use the code?

I got it yesterday a few hours before the start. Usually they replenish the quota once one batch has been fully claimed.

Hello, someone has tested ztto t47 bb for gravel? Does it work fine? thanks

[Tijoe]

Has anyone been able to use the $80 off coupon yet (anniversary sale)?

Yes.  I applied one to my order this morning.

[coffeebreak]

L-Twoo ER9 is down to $380 and you can apply the $40 coupon on top to bring it down to $340 at L-Twoo official store which undercuts the 80's designer store by a good $50. Weirdly they have another listing where same groupset is listed at $480 if you are feeling spendy I guess -

$380 - 40 group> https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805690758256.html
$480 - 40 group > https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805480174918.html

I didn't have luck finding EGR groupset at good price though. I feel it looks sexier.

The lower priced er9 has a lot of shipping restrictions. Not available in my country, canada, lots of europe and probably a whole lot others

[coffeebreak]

Where do you see where all it won't ship apart from your own country

Regardless, a deal is a deal for those who can get it.

Exactly ran into the same issue for Canada

Select a different country for shipping?

I've installed several ztto bb86 ones (the normal ones basically, for 24mm axles). They're great. Assuming the t47 format is the same press fit tech of one aluminum sleeve that screws into the other and crates something rigid in one piece, I wouldn't worry and I'd order it.

[coffeebreak]

T47 is actually not the same format as any PF or PF-thread together type bottom brackets. It is pretty much oversized threaded BSA BB which has two cups that thread into the frame. They don't need to form a bond with thread-together metal sleeve. There is a sleeve in the middle but it is dumb and made of plastic, at least on WM T47 BB.

Having said that I have the good old BSA BB by ZTTO with ceramic bearing on a road bike and it is fine. The ceramic bearing part is of no consequence so just get the normal steel bearing model, it should be fine. In my opinion ZTTO generally makes okay products.

"You're making mother of all cranksets, Lexon, can't fret over every chainring!"

Carbon crankset with carbon + alloy construction chainrings. Super lightweight, but eye watering price tag comes along.

Anyone brave enough to try it?

P.S. Riro carbon crank that was shared a while ago is down to ~130 euros with chainring included. It's less than what I've paid for alloy Fovno Aurora Pro crank with Racework chainring.

I have the Riro/Racework (updated version) carbon crankset on two bikes and they work great. Though I had an installation problem on my non-Shimano BB bike. No matter what I'd do, every time I tightened the crankset, it would lock up. On my Shimano BSA and PF BB equipped bikes I can tighten the crankset no problem. I'm guessing it's an issue with the bearings being bigger with non-Shimano BBs? I tested it on both a non-Shimano threaded BSA and threaded BB86 BB and had the same issue.

Speaking of cranksets, are there any on Aliex with 30mm spindle for BB386 type bottom brackets? I can only find the fake Ingrid copies and I don't like how it looks.

I bit the bullet and ordered the new style Ztto/Goldix lightweight 11/12 speed cassette with the sturdier torx screwed spider bracket. I bought it with a few other items during the current sale. The Spedao/SRoad cassette had the riveted version with the thinner bracket that was prone to cracking after extended use. I picked up the 11-34t version which comes in at significantly less weight than the 105/Ultegra version of the same range while still retaining all-steel cogs. I'm guessing shifting won't be as good as a Shimano cassette, but I'll see how it does on a fully waxed chain setup.
