Hi,

I've lost the end cap for my rear wheel, or it wasn't in the package.
I contacted Serenade to find out how to replace it, but I'm asking here in the hope of getting a quicker response.

It's an SR248 hub. Are there any compatible models?

I'm interested in x68. What's the best way to purchase one within europe?
I saw on their page that they don't offer tax handling or similar and that it needs to be done by buyer.
Would be great if someone could share their experiences.
It would be my first bigger purchase from china so be kind to me 😁

Hi,
I ordered mine in August directly from Seraph via WhatsApp.
It cost me €796 all inclusive for shipping to France.

Hello Guys,

Here a picture of the 2 bikes I built for my wife and I. Fork was the heavy one.

For her:
- size 49 + 90x380mm
- color YS3481 - blue
- ZTTO BSA Dub bottom bracket
- shimano 105 di2 12s - 11-34
- cassette dura ace 12s (got it from a friend)
- Riro carbon crankset - 166mm - 50-34T
- Tagoola wave 2 wheels + 32c GP5000 s tr + orange seal
- III3 pro disc brake 160mm front - 140mm rear
- Ryet 3d saddle
- IGPsport BSC200s gps

For me:
- size 58 + 100x400mm
- colo YS2086-1 - green
- ZTTO BSA Dub bottom bracket
- shimano 105 di2 12s - 11-34
- cassette dura ace 12s (got it from a friend)
- Riro carbon crankset - 172,5mm - 50-34T
- Tagoola  wheels 40mm + 32c GP5000 s tr + orange seal
- III3 pro disc brake 160mm front - 140mm rear
- LFZ pedals
- Ryet 3d saddle
- Garmin 1040

it was fairly straight forward to build as it is my first build I had to discover how to use the different tools but overall pretty easy to do.
I used the SL8 user manuel to install everything.

Only down part tantan forgot to send the Seatpost wedge cover for both bike, so I need to check with them to send them.

last point I need to put carbon paste on the seatpost has it is slidding down a little even at 6,2Nm.

I did 70km with the bike and I am very impressed, coming from an aluminum decathlon triban 3 from 2013, it is a completely new feeling and sensation.


HI,

Did you weigh both bikes?
