from top to bottom:
the grooved part
the part where the max torque is written on (so it is upside down to read)
the clamp

no carbonpaste whatsoever
6 maybe max 8(if you really need to) nm.
bombproove and no tilt at all

Ok - so I reversed the setup as suggested and took it for a ride and it does seem more stable for now.
Hopefully that resolves it long term.

When I torque to the recommended 6 and even a bit over, the saddle still rotates forward and back.
I’ve put some carbon paste in, no difference.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey mate there should be two saddle parts one for smaller diameter saddle rails and one for larger, happened to me but I checked the contents and found the part and my Ryet saddle fits! If you didn’t get one, email the seller mate.

I'll have another look - there were two adapaters, I though one was for round bars and one for oval. I tried both but just not enough clearance in the saddle. I'll check again tommorow and take some pics. I think there are a lot of varities of those Ryet Saddles.

So my frame has arrived and the build will start in coming weeks. X65 Frame in XXL (560) - ordered early December - arrived last week (4th Feb 26) So about 8 weeks in all. No customs or duty when delivered to Ireland.

I got some Helix Elite Wheels to go with it, a Pass Quest Chainring and Magene Power Meter. Plan is a X1 setup as its a build specifically for a 24hr race I'm doing in summer and its laps around a car race track, so no climbing. Also probably just gonna use cable brakes connected to ZTTO or ONRI hydrolic callipers paired with LTWOO GR9 1x 11 (because I already have it) - simple and basic but thats all I need for this project. A cable based system might be easier to repair on the day if I have an issues.
The facing on the BB and the brake mounts seems a lot better than the last frame I got (GR201) but I haven't actually fully bolted everything on yet and gone riding so time will tell a better story.
I'm not a big fan of the saddle mount system, I'm sure I'll get used to it, but straight away there is no way the RYET saddle I bought for this build will fit. No matter what I tried their is no enough room between the saddle rail and the saddle to fit the upper part of the clamp system.
So thats the inital thoughts. Paint job is very good almost all over, but woudln't pass QC at a high end brand. A few aeras could be better but not enough for me personally to be bothered - you kinda get what you pay for I guess. And no one is realisticly gonna notice in day to day use.
I'm gonna do the livery on the downtube myself as I didn't want what I'm putting there to be there permanently after I'm fnished the race in the summer.

Some silver circualr shims arrived with it that fit the steering tube perfectly - but I'm not sure where they are supposed to go. SO if anyone can shed any light that would be great.
I'll post a pic of all bits and pieces that came with later.

Whats everyones experience with picking a color? Is it a guessing game? Have you a source you use to get a good look at a color? Are you asking the supplier for video/images of the intended color?

My first build was with TanTan and they were pretty patient and helpful with sending me pics/vid of the color book they are using so I could try and find the right tone. But it was a long and tedious process for both parties I think and I hate coming back and asking for another pic/vid to make a choice from.
As anyone that has worked in an industry losely relying on colors (Photographer, interier decorator, panel beater etc) colors online on a computer screen rarely match the color in real life. Hence I prefer to see video of the color as the next best option to actually having it in front of my eyes. Even just the pages of the color book being slowly flicked over can give a better impression of the tone of a color.

I think most suppliers are using the YS color book or scheme. Does anyone here by any chance happen to have a copy of the Yongxiang Standard YS Color Book? I know its unlikley but if you don't ask you don't know.
If I had a copy I'd be willing to film it, slowly turing the pages and posting it on FB so everyone could get a feel for the colors. But any copy I have come across is way to expensive for what use I would get out of it.

In the meantime heres some helpful websites I've come across that at least give some idea of the colors.

A lot of borderline hate here for a bike that I'm presuming most haven't ridden. Any reviews I'v seen by anyone thats actually ridden one are mostly positive - with the main complaint being a bit unsteady in crosswinds (which I guess could be wheels as much as anything else). But straight line speed, descending ability and general aero perfomance is highly regarded. And some have problems getting on with the geometry which will always be a rider by rider issue anyway.
And it does pretty well in a recent Aero Tunnel test  by cyclingnews along side the big boys costing many many thousands more.
And Cade Media seemed pretty impressed by it as well. A fair and honest review on their YT channel which they followed up  on their podcast to clarify some things, which actually was just more positive points they wished they included in the YT vid.
 
Looks are also very subjective - I personally think it looks fantastic, love the many colour options and the fact you can order wheels color coded to the frame as well at no extra cost. All in all its insane value - at that price point I'm not bothered or going to complain if they aren't innovating the latest trends themselves and are just catching the coattails of something thats gone before. Afterall we are on a forum called Chinertown 
This one has my attention at the moment and might be perfect for a challenge I'm doing next year. More local distributors is kinda handy as well, and a 5 year frame warranty, free delivery and no import taxs, hiddens etc.
Will be following this thread for more owners thoughts.

This is on my short list - I'm tackling a 24hr race next year on a pretty flat, tarmaced, race car circuit - just lap after lap for 24hrs 🤦🏼‍♂️😂 - and I'm looking for something more appropriate than my current gravel bike 😂.
Anyway, I can't even find any pictures of this frame with wheels on it 😂 never mind an actual review. Info on this and the X67 is pretty scant. I had decided on the X34 but apparently its discontinued now. I've asked if the X68 is still an option. Waiting to hear back.
so if anyone has any pics - it would be appreciated.
