Re: better Marathon racer with 120mm fork - m7007-II or carbonda FM936
the more I read the posts in this forum the more I get the impression that the m7007-II is designed for 100mm and not 120mm. The carbonda fm936 has many posts with 120mm, so I guess this build is less risky to fail. I have seen more posts with the carbonda fm936 than m7007-II leaving the impression the fm936 is more popular and up to date. does anyone has the opinion, that the m7007-II is better than the fm936?

Re: Workswell wcb-r-268
I was also interested in the WCB-R-268 when I saw pictures of the first few bikes, it looked like a great valueand high quality crit racing bike. Since then, they have changed the forks in the newer models and the geometry is looking more relaxed (see pics attached), look at the end of the forks and the head tube length. It is hard to know exactly what has changed because bikes look different depending on sizing. Maybe this is what the majority of customers want? I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Very nice bike! The painting is great. Did you weight the frame, fork, bar and post? October 05, 2020, 12:20:08 AM |

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Finished the internal routing today. It was a bit of a pain but not as bad as I expected considering this is the first bike I have ever built. I think the toughest part was the handlebars but there is are great YouTube tutorials from both ICAN and "OzCycles". Number one tip I can give when routing the handlebars is to tape both the gear and brake cables together and pull them through the narrow hole at the same time. Pictures of the finished routing have been attached. Please don't judge the messy room as it has been a long night

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Just inserted the bottom bracket. Decided to go with a zitto ceramic thread lock BB. This avoids the hassle of bearing presses as threading the BB together presses the cups into the frame. I must say it went very smoothly. Only thing I am left wondering is what the torque level should be... I have attached some greasy pictures of the BB

Re: ICAN triaero A9
I was expecting it to be a bit lighter, a sub 7kg disc must be expensive. If I break my road bike, this is a serious option. Thank you for the information ! October 06, 2020, 05:18:29 AM |

Build complete. Weight 8.2kg Price £2200 Price and weight includes everything you see in the picture and Magene power meter. Carbon saddle still hasn't arrive which should drop the weight even more. October 20, 2020, 01:10:31 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Hi, as far as I know, the frame left China last week and it would take between 10 and 35 days to be in France. I also ordered some wheels from Light Bicycle with DT240EXP hubs. The groupset will be an Ultegra R 8020. I bought a cyrano R1 handlebar and I expect the complete bike to be around 7.5kg. I will post some photos of the components and the assembly.

Re: ICAN triaero A9
Thank you for your kind words. I'm in love with the bike. It was so nice to be able to choose exactly what I wanted and no have to settle for anything less. I was considering buying a low spec reacto for about £2k and then doing that up but would have been selling bits of the bike in order to buy the parts I want. Building my own bike from scratch was definitely the best decision I could have made. Full price I paid to ICAN was $886 via paypal. October 25, 2020, 08:57:37 AM |

Re: ICAN triaero A9
I didn't have the problem with my original r8000 hanger, definitely the OSPW for me. I think we have our derailleurs on differently (not sure which way is correct. Take a look at the angle of or hangers, yours is straight while mine is at an angle. I just had a look at a mates bike that was built by a professional mechanic and his is also angled. It may be something for you to look at. Remove derailleur, rotate backwards and tighten it up again.
