I didn't have the problem with my original r8000 hanger, definitely the OSPW for me. I think we have our derailleurs on differently (not sure which way is correct. Take a look at the angle of or hangers, yours is straight while mine is at an angle. I just had a look at a mates bike that was built by a professional mechanic and his is also angled. It may be something for you to look at. Remove derailleur, rotate backwards and tighten it up again.

Hi Matt_C, what is the brand and model of the red and black aero bike frame and any idea of the weight of the complete red and black bike?
Also what is the weight of your A9 bike in this complete bike setup?
Thanks.

From experience does anyone have an idea where TanTan ships the TT-X21 from?
I made an order and it was shipped from Tianjin City but TanTan website shows Shenzhen City as their location.

I googled which carbon bike manufacture is located at Tianjin City and the result shows that the big guys "Fuji-ta" are located at Tianjin City.

Could this mean TanTan is also outsourcing the TT-X21 like a few other websites selling this similar frameset geometry?

How did you all choose between the TT-X23, TT-X24, and TT-X21? They all look similarly priced. Did you all pass on the TT-X3 because of the BB386 bottom bracket?

I just ordered the TT-X21.
I initially ordered the ICAN Triaero A9 frameset but had to return it because of some quality issues.
For me the next frame set closest to the ICAN A9 to buy is the the TT-X21. Hence it was easy to make the choice.

Out for a ride with a mate today. Does it look like there's nearly a 10k price difference? Definitely doesn't perform like there is.

Your A9 looks really awesome!
Sad I missed out  on this nice frameset.

ICAN reached out and apologized for the situation from my last post. They have refunded me the money I loss due to customs duty and frameset return shipping.
Maybe in the future I will deal again but I have already ordered the TT-X21 from TanTan.

My project:
A9 frame + ican aero 55+ sram red axs 2X12V
I hope frame does not have the same problem.

Hi, any update on your A9 project?

Had a very bad experience with ICAN Bikes.
The picture of the whole frameset and accessories was taken before they shipped to me. I was super excited until I received the frameset.
On receiving the frame I notice there was a patch inside the headtube that creates a bump on the outside of the headtube.
They said the patch and bump will not affect the quality of the bike or reliability of the bike structure. WHAT? (How about 5 years down the line or resale value as new or used frameset?)

They said they will replace the frameset if I send it back to them. Why send such bad quality frameset to me in the first place???
They made it sound like they had a replacement frame waiting for me. But once I successfully sent the frameset back to them they told me it will take another 30 to 40 days to make/paint my cream colour frame choice.
They claim they had an option of a sample frame with already cut fork but I refused that because there is no way to predict or control the stack height.
They also claim they had the UD matte black ready to ship which I wanted to consider but the communication was too slow and I had already lost the trust, so I decided to get a refund instead.

Who know what other area of their frames they have patched and spray paint over. OMG!

I finally got my refunds approved by Alibaba after sending back the frameset to a local address because they only wanted the lowest shipping cost of return to them.
I lost 211 USD in the transaction due to customs duty and sending the frameset to the local address they gave me.

The order was made on 5th Nov. 2020 got my money refunds approval Jan 4th 2021 by Alibaba.

I am really disappointed, sad and super pissed. A lot of money, time, effort wasted in research and preparing for this project.
All the parts for building the frame arrived and now need to start all over researching what frameset to get. (Any suggestions?)

Make sure your quality expectations aligns 100% with ICAN bikes or any other Chinese frame maker before they ship to you.
Ask for pictures of inside the headtube and bottom bracket at least.

I do not wish this for anyone. It is very painful and time wasting.
