Re: TAN TAN X67
I had 3 problems : - Rear brake mount was not flat, had to face it AND file the connection between the two screw holes (because the facing tool only face on 10mm diameter). - Seatpost doesn't hold, Tantan says 8-10 Nm but even with 12 Nm, Carbon Paste and alloy foil from can, it slips. I need to find a solution. -The front derailleur mount is also too much to the exterior, wich leads the derailleur to touch cranks arms. I tried with 105 di2 and ltwoo erX. As well as with ultegra cranks. I had to put a 2mm spacer on the crank axle Otherwise i only did a 50km ride on the flat, nothing special, i'll see in the mountains. Edit : the frame with derailleur hanger front and back, rear axle and screws was 853g in size 49, clear coat and black paint July 26, 2025, 02:25:08 AM |

Re: TAN TAN X67
Hello, I'm looking to purchase this frame after completing my military service. Could you please measure the standover for me? I've been comparing geometries, and no matter how I look at them, the manufacturer's standover numbers seem strange. I have short legs(165cm height 75cm inseam), so standover is important to me. Please help me. Thank you from South Korea! I believe Grind Poland uses the same frame without the aero seatstay feature, they provide standover height measurements under geometry. https://grindcycles.com/collections/road January 25, 2026, 10:20:29 AM |

Re: Quick Pro ER:One
Bought mine on the 4th of Dec, custom paint inspired by a post on IG. - Mounted 105 Di2 - Riro DUB Carbon Cranks + Pass Quest chainrings I had some problems with the chainrings being too far from the frame and had to space the front mach hanger to fix it. - ZRace disks - Hyper SE 23 45D wheels Weight is 7.7Kg with Favero Rx + Cages + Garmin mount Very happy with my purchase so far  January 29, 2026, 05:20:36 PM |

Re: XM Carbonspeed Ultra-Wide Gravel Wheelset with Titanium Spokes
Got my wheels from Peter and mounted up some Thundero 48s that measure out to 51.3mm. Wheels feel really good so far. Going to put some more miles on them with wider rubber as well.

Re: Tavelo Grow
Is there an XMCS gravel frame coming with more clearance this year? Happy to wait. We will be giving some teasers on our Instagram soon. All I can say for now is that I personally like a bit of width ;-). February 11, 2026, 01:45:04 AM |

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero Gravel bike
Why does this steerer look straight to me? no tapered steerer tube? All design and manufacturing by Peter obviously. From my side, we just had a lot of discussions what is important on a 2026 (aero) gravel bike - incl what geometry direction - and for Peter it’s a bit if a leap of faith to start building someone that practically no other Chinese manufacturer in his space is doing… so I hope I guided him in the good direction.

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero Gravel bike
Short update: there are still some last details that need to be validated for the geo. Peter was very kind to make some time for this during CNY, but his technical team also needs to have a look at it, which they can do after CNY. I know you guys are eager to get your hands on the geo and all the details, but we want to be 100% sure on what we put out in the public. You can only make a first impression once.

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero Gravel bike
why must every aero frame get a gazillion mounting point, which when used, make the bike unaero like a brick wall. If aero is its key feature leave it aero. There are enough bikepacking bikes out there for the handfull riders who really want to put a sh...load of bags on their bike.
