Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!
Let's remember this is a BXT. I built up a BXT hardtail for my boy which has now been moved on as he outgrew it. I was happy with the quality of the finish, except for the finish of the access plate under the bb. The frame was durable enough to cope with everything he threw at it and I would happily buy another BXT BUT there are loads of people that claim after sales service is non existent. I didn't find this when I contacted them about the access plate, they asked for pics but in the end I decided not to do anything about it as the issue was only minor and easily dealt with. Also, could probably be best served in it's thread as it isn't the same as what Eddy is flogging. January 31, 2022, 06:11:23 PM |

Re: Tideace 2022 FS-AM831 Groupbuy C order with new Triangle
Of course, if you got any quality issue, feel free to contact me via email. I have. You ignore any emails mentioning a warranty issue I send to you even after I provided proof. You said you need to talk to “engineers” and didn’t respond for 3 weeks. Then instead of replacing the damaged frame due to factory defects, you said you will give me a discount on the new rear triangle but with your “discount” and shipping I will be paying more than another member here who purchased at full price and paid shipping when it was more expensive. It comes out to $260 total with no paint. I checked and the other member stated they paid 270, with paint. Also please stop acting like there was no issue. Otherwise you wouldn’t develop a new rear triangle. Moulds and production cost money and you are clearly very money hungry , so I doubt you would waste it on a new rear triangle if it wasn’t needed. The rear seat stays flex and the bearing has too much movement connecting the rear triangle to the upper link. If you want to keep pretending like nothing was wrong , feel free to read through the last half of this thread to learn more about it. I’m sure you will also come across the comments of people who you told would be receiving a frame with updated new rear triangle but didn’t https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3172.0.html Or here https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3539.0.html Just in case you miss it I attached a picture of a comment by someone who was injured and broke their bone because of the issue Thanks, Snacks February 21, 2022, 09:03:28 AM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
You guys are really buying this stuff even when youtubers known for loving Chinese stuff gave it a red card? Well, they are only youtubers....they seems to forget how hard sram failed when starting with their electronic groupsets..i remember a race, where 5 people were sitting at the side of the road not being able to change gears with their sram, sebastian kienle had failures on racing hawaii with sram.. So, why not give LTWOO the time to get stuff done... We are currently planning to sell these units, even with aliexpress selling it lower than we buy directly, but customers are in the market for budget custom gravel builds....and it is great for the market....we need to show shimano, that their pricing needs to be adjusted. the low prices on the shimano di2 sets are made by the dealer ships, shimano has still their high price attitude and in europe, margins are not there....a normal bike shop buys shimano stuff cheaper online at some outlets, than referring to the official distributor...

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
Just coat it outside the lip should be fine. What's important is that you ensure the cable is firmly plugged in. Personally I would prefer hot glue or liquid tape since that ensures a waterproof seal and yet is easily torn off when needed. I finished my bike rebuild last night and I opted to use rubber cement around the cable ports and then applied dielectric grease once it dried. I figure a glob of rubber cement should provide adequate adhesion that's easy to remove and the dielectric grease over that for moisture protection. So after installing the chain catcher, I was able to adequately tune the FD. I was too lazy to remove it though. First impressions. Everything shifts excellent once setup. Though it was an all-day affair tuning the bike. I'm not sure it was any easier over setting up a cable mechanical bike. The software tuning app is amazing. I've never owned SRAM AXS or DI2, but gear protection and one touch shifting are awesome. I used a quality pair of batteries and battery life seems to be good so far. On the not so bright side. I'm not fond of the puny RD springs LTwoo and Sensah tend to use. They work, but it's more confidence inspiring how Shimano uses an over engineered spring coil. Also my RD cage looks like it can only accommodate the same size jockey wheels provided. There's no wiggle room to tweak the size. Weight-wise, the ER9 isn't exactly less weight compared to mechanical Ultegra. I either broke even or maybe added a few grams to my bike. April 04, 2024, 01:32:19 PM |

Re: Chinarello Dogma F (100% Aliexpress Build)
the intent of my build is just simply to copy one of the best bike art available at the cheapest way possible, rather than a nothing cheap bland bikes... June 06, 2024, 10:16:27 AM |

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets
I ended up installing a spare ER9 groupset on my older SPCycle SP-027D frameset. Despite having a few quirks with my first ER9 bike, I think I've ironed out most potential issues. I was planning to save the groupset for a future bike build, but there's not much that interest me right now. Plus I think semi ICR bikes running electronic are as hassle-free as it gets when it comes to maintenance and travel (my headset is solid like a rock). This bike was easy to convert to electronic compared to my ER9 TFSA frameset. There was ample space to route the cables and battery holder. Only issue I had was getting my shifters installed properly on new 38cm flared drop bars. LTwoo has the most convoluted shift clamp screw. I also swapped in a new set of EBL brand 2x14500 batteries. They seem to be working well on my other ER9 bike, compared to the Skywolfe batteries I was using previously (both purchased off US EBay). One strange thing is the ER9 FD on this frame hasn't asked for a firmware update. This ER9 FD is running ver 0.0, while my other ER9 frame is on ver 1.2 I believe. Also I'm running 11 speed 52-36t/11-32t on this frame, while my other frame is running 12 speed 50-34t/11-34t. When set to 11 speed, the fine tuning values were way off. I found it really strange, though I was able to adjust it properly. I also have a chain catcher on order, I don't trust non-Shimano FDs to be chain-drop free. Anyways, I'll report back once I get a few kilometric miles on the groupset. We'll see if my bike implodes with all the shifty AliEx components I'm running!  June 19, 2024, 12:56:00 PM |

Re: SL8 Replica Build
So basically this frame is good enough for the coffee ride to show off, but not for actual race use? let's think a minute about worst case scenarios here. some cringe poser joins your group ride with an slfake. That day, it's tempo day, you're going 45kmh in a peloton, he takes a pothole, his frame self destructs, and he causes a crash for himself and others. to be honest, I would finish him off with my own fists. we havent had reports of frames self destructing for years on this forum, those are horror stories of velobuild frames from many years ago. Now that weight is all the rage again, i really dont want to ride in pelotons with people on super light & unsafe frames. My open mould is a tank. That is a problem. October 07, 2024, 09:52:08 AM |
