Does anybody with experience with ICAN custom painting know if this design would be too complex?

i have custom paint without decals on my graro....was pretty happy with the result

So yes, it is compatible with the Magene P515 power meter. It just depends on how you want to set it up: if you want a double chainring setup (2x), then no, it’s not suitable. If you want to use it as 1x, then yes, it works.

For a 2x setup, I’d still recommend this one from the same brand, which I’m currently using https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010322400821.html

thanks...yes of course 1x setup...riding the new di2 grx 825/827

I have the same saddle and checked my bib shorts. The amount of wear depends on the type of fabric. On some bib shorts there is no visible wear at all, while on others—like in the picture—it is more noticeable. This is after about 800 km of riding.

lucky for you.. the side is collapsed on mine and is creating sharp edges damaging the bibs in 1 or 2 rides...rider weight 70 kg so this shouldnt be the problem...i think its a problem with the honey 3d print. I will test the normal aircode and hopefully this one is working better

Agree. This one Color: T40B 3D Saddle solved any and all issues I ever had.

i have problems with the t40. It deforms at the side and is damaging my bibs...

Shimano 12s HG+ chain? Afaik those are not compatible with any narrow-wide chainrings.

not sure...i think the one i used in this case is an shimano xt 126 12s version.

I need some advice regarding chainring compatibility. On my previous gravel bike, I ran the Wuzei chainrings in 40T, 44T, and 46T sizes for quite a while. My drivetrain setup back then was a Shimano derailleur/shifter paired with a SRAM cassette and a SRAM X01 chain. That setup worked flawlessly.

Recently, I built up a new frame and decided to switch to a full Shimano drivetrain (including a Shimano chain and casette). However, I'm now running into an issue: the Wuzei chainrings don't seem to play nice with the Shimano chain. When the chain leaves the bottom of the chainring, it tends to stick to the teeth slightly, causing a weird skipping/snagging/snapping effect.

Has anyone else noticed compatibility issues between these specific chainrings and Shimano chains? I never experienced anything like this with SRAM chains.

I'd really appreciate any insights, workarounds, or alternative chainring suggestions that work well with a full Shimano setup. Thanks in advance!

The T40A saddle is good. An improvement over the original design. Just note, QC might differ. I have a friend who bought the same saddle and had issues with the 3D mesh deforming and jutted out from the sides, which rubs on his thighs. My two saddles don't have that issue.

i have the same problem! the saddle is great but the 3d mesh on the side is pressing out and is ruining all my bibs! i'm looking for an alternative! perhaps a little narrower.

does someone has the rough pricelist?

Yeah, there is some grip tape available, and I don't think my current setup is unsafe. According to Alisa, LTK actually paints that textured area, which explains why the height can vary a bit between batches. My saddle height is only about 5–10mm above the texture, so the clamp still has enough purchase. My main concern is that my sister also uses the bike occasionally.

She sits about 3.5cm lower than I do (I know, the frame is technically too big for her!), and I wanted a second seatpost so she doesn't damage the current one by clamping it on the smooth carbon. For now, I've used some electrical tape and plenty of carbon paste on the clamping surface.

Regardless, I’d love to have a spare seatpost. It makes it much easier to test new saddles without losing my original position, and I usually like to have backups for all my bikes anyway—I just forgot to add one to the initial order! But honestly, $40 for shipping a single seatpost is a bit steep. If anyone in Germany is ordering soon, let me know

Is anyone from Germany planning to order a frameset from LTK in the near future? I’m looking to get a second seatpost, but shipping alone is $30–40 for a $45 part. I've already been in touch with Alisa about it. The textured grip area on my current post is a bit too low for my saddle height.

I'd love to bundle a spare with someone else's order to save on shipping. Let me know if we can work something out!
