Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?

[kubackje]

Yea I'm glad all of yours are working flawlessly, but something is off about mine.

Fixed it for you " something is off about mine.skilset "

Honestly I am really annoyed by seraph...

Guess one can see that the inner hole is not centered in the outer hole thus the bolt can't be torqued properly...
The frame more or less is worthless... Honestly I don't know anymore

I'm assuming you mean the derailleur hanger hole?
I agree the hole should be right but I would file it out it to  get it centre, the bolt for that area is only 2Nm and a bit of Loctite blue

Yeah sorry its the rear derailleur hole. I don't see that as critical either. But honestly it's simply annoying that my first frame got a loose sleeves on the bottom bracket and now the rear derailleur bolt makes issues.  It's crazy how much my two frames differ in that area...

In the picture you can see that the inner hole is way to big and off center. The outer hole now is okay

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask…
But i’ve got one frame on option, which the seller is willing to ship out tomorrow.
Otherwise i’d have to wait until after CNY, which means it will be at least a month later.

I’ve got this shot of the inside, how does this look?
I don’t know what this almost chinese text looking like material is on the right side?

Thanks anways😊

Not clean when I compare to this RK's frame.

When comparing i can see the difference indeed.
Does this mean it’s bad quality?

I’ve added a couple more videos.

What is it I meant to ne commenting on exactly? I see the inside of a bottom bracket shell on a cheap $600 carbon frame

can't reacall my tantan to look like that, they were looking way better. According to your video I can see the UCI sticker and the S-Works logo, is this frame from Tantan?

[glepore]

Its a sloppy layup. Is it bound to fail? I doubt it, but it doesn't speak well to the general care used in production. The tantan frames, whatever their source, are very clean inside and appear eps moulded. Is that tantan? Doubt it.

Does anybody know if there are 0 offset seatposts available for the X68?
As fas as i’ve read the original SL8 seatposts don’t fit in the TanTan.
This means that all aftermarket SL8 seatposts wouldn’t fit the X68, did anybody find one that does fit?

Nope, not a TanTan.
It was indeed a SL8 replica, which i only considered because it was ready to ship.
Decided i’ll just wait for CNY to pass, will not have my frameset before April🥲.

I installed my tantan on the tacx neo 2T flucx and the thrue axle only comes to this point, is this a problem? Everything feels secure, but I dont know if it's save to ride it like that

I'd suggest you've got the trainer spacers fitted for 148mm rather than the needed 142mm.
