TT-X42 Full Bike with Carbon and Wheeltop

[simb]

I'm asking the seller some questions about the TT-X42, but he's not answering. I wonder if you can help me:
Is the cassette HG (Shimano) or XDR (Sram) freehub?
Do the hydraulic brakes come bled? Do they send a bleeder container?
Do the shifters come pre-adjusted?
Thanks

The cassette is hg, and the casette comes with a spacer on the freehub.

Brakes are bled, the only accessory is the charging cable and Allen key set.
The groupset has been adjusted, so it's ready to ride after assembly.

WTF on the video when they kick the rear derailleur  .

I bought one of these.

Maximum clearance is 30c, 32c is dependant on wheel and tyre combination.

I paid $1800 delivered to Australia.

If I had my time again I would have just built up a bike from scratch. If you start replacing parts it will end up costing a lot more.

The wheels are really heavy, 1900 grams. (I got the carbon wheels)

I have replaced the following: Crankset, axles, saddle, tyres. New wheels will be the next purchase which will take the bike to around 7kg.

Hi,
Could you tell me what axles you bought and their measurements? I'm looking to replace them.
I also see you installed the 24mm Riro carbon crackset. Were you able to install it straight away without any problems? And how does it perform, and the chainrings?
And how has the bike worked for you, and have you made any other changes? I have one and I changed the wheels, tires, TPU inner tubes, and saddle.

Thanks.

Has anyone found a comparable deal? I haven't. There is nothing even coming close to this bike in terms of value.

I bought These axles. Front 126. Rear 168. Perfect fit. Weight original axles 113g, new ones 67g. During Sale with coins both for 2.16 USD. Can recommend.

I just found this on AliExpress:

Hi y'all.

I received my seraph TT-X42 mid October and have been using it as my fast commuter in rainy, cold fall/winter weather (~ -8 - 10°C) . So far I made about 500km.
After 250Km I did a ultrasonic deep clean and relube on the chain and checked for chain wear, it was comfortabely below 0.5%.

Yesterday I wanted to upgrade to a KMC X12 EPT chain, Hot-waxed with super secret. (I believe this one should give me better performance & durability in wet and cold weather than a lubed chain, EPT coating against rust) I cleaned my chainrings and put on the freshly waxed chain and did a test ride.

Low and behold. The stock chain is far above 1% stretch and 4-6th gears are completely worn. The new chain skips immediately. I had to revert back to the old chain, at least that one still works with the worn chainrings.

TLDR: Do not use the stock chain from the TT-X42. It's garbage and will eat your chainrings, fast.


BTW, for tires I am using the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR Refl V2 28mm. Those are tanks. A bit heavy, but comparably, still quiet fast. Very difficult to mount though. The stock ones gave me a flat after less than 250km

I have some Problems with Seatpost slippage. To the owners: Which Torque do you apply? Did anybody found a official Torque spec from seraph / tantan?

I started off with 6NM, had some slippage so bought some carbon paste and cranked it up to 8nm
 No issues after 5000 odd kms.
