Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?
How much is the frame total? A 5% fee for peace of mind is worth it. There are way too many things that can go wrong to chance using F/F Paypal.

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?
Buying 2 frames sounds very good, but I don`t know anybody who is interest to build a racebike. I‘m also real interested to buy this frame from TanTan - so splitting shipping costs would be a good Option. I planned to give the order at the end of february or start of march!

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?
First decent workout with the fake SL8 from Taiwaneisen. My weight is 65kg and FTP at 220watt. Wheels Yoeleo 50mm, tubeless 28mm, 4bar. - the riding is “smooth”: after 35km/h you can easily observe the bike “sailing”, it keeps the speed with minimum power. This is even more visible when you ride into a group of cyclists at 35km/h or more or when you follow the draft of a car passing you - the frame is quite stiff expecially in the seatpost area: you can clearly feel in the back while the fork and the front part of the frame is quite comfortable - I was worried about the stiffness of the fork as it weights even less than the original. I tested in a 3km discend and it is good So far so good February 15, 2025, 03:05:50 PM |

Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes?
Hello everyone. First of all, the X68 that I have assembled for my friend in size 52 without pedals has weighed 7.2kg with 50 profile rims and mounted on Ultegra Di2. The saddle is a Bontrager (quite heavy). After the first rides, my friend is delighted with the behaviour of the bike. It feels rigid and fast on the flat and quite comfortable and safe on the descents. I will soon send more photos and the list of costs for the assembly in general.

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Never purchased but i found this seller that sold v3 spares parts: 1. Have you tried activating the groupset while plugged into the charger? 2. Have you tried re-pairing the shifters to the front and rear derailleur? 3. Do you see a light when plugged in? 4. Does the app see the groupset? 5. Can you control the groupset via the app? 6. Have you tried resetting the groupset on the app to factory default? 7. Have you tried hard resetting the rear derailleur by holding the RD button (might need multiple resets).

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
A friend of mine has a V2 and RD failure. Ltwoo offered him a new RD and cables. He asked for a V3 RD and they replied that V2 and V3 are not compatible. Can anyone confirm that? January 22, 2026, 04:41:36 AM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
How did you open the case of the electronic? I don't want to destroy it.You need to completely free the plastic case from any metal components around it, then unscrew all the screws and the case opens. I applied a special PCB varnish to protect the components and the board from water. February 08, 2026, 03:21:19 AM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Maybe I will try a varnish, too.It needs to be freed from everything, and it will open easily, at least my B2 was simply snapped with an elastic band, look at my photo about 15 pages ago. February 08, 2026, 12:20:47 PM |
