Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: ZTTO XDR cassette
« on: July 07, 2022, 05:59:34 AM »
I can't speak to these road cassettes, but I bought a wide range MTB cassette specifically for the weight, and it skips in the smallest cogs. They keep offering to replace it, but at some point, what's the point? I also broke a tooth off the largest recently.

I had a bearing fail in the linkage. They're 8x19x6. The ones in there are not the greatest, they all feel quite notchy. I will just replace all of them.

Ztto 9-50t...no problems....only mistery o had to sort out was afterr changing it to my new fiberin carbon wheels. The cassete was never fully thightened even with the correct torque so i had To include a spacer( which was not suposedly needed as my driver is XD not XDR.

I actually had mine come undone as well. I now have it loctited , hopefully that will take care of it.

The more I ride it, the more I like it  :)

The only issue I'm having is the 9-50 ZTTO cassette. The first one I got skipped on the smallest 5 cogs, the replacement still skips on the 9 tooth cog....

I was also interested in the headangle penalty for running a 100mm fork (505mm axle to crown), and lo and behold, I measured right at 67 degrees.

I've finished assembling mine, and I wanted to leave some thoughts for people who are thinking about getting this frame.

1: The need to have the BB threads chased is real. The provided BB worked fine for me, but not with my 30mm spindle, and the bsa30 BB I was going to use worked fine for the left side, but I ended up cross threading the drive side cup. I was lucky enough to get it mounted and square in the end, but it is now a permanent fixture of the frame and I will just replace the bearings only when the time comes.

2: The description for the white frame states that a chainring up to 40t can be used. There is just no way this is going to happen (unless the white frame is different somehow). A 38t for sure will not fit, a 36 might, but it would be awfully close. I think 34T is the realistic max chainring this frame will allow.

3: I am 5'10" on a good day, normally proportioned, and I find the frame fairly small (reach). I have back issues, and I like to be more stretched out. I could have easily fit a larger size. (i'm using a 70mm stem, and 0 offset seatpost)

Overall, I'm happy. I'm took a chance on a chinese derailleur and I suspect I'll quickly get something more reputable. Weight is a hair under 21lbs. (I am a hair over 20lbs overweight...)

Don't get me wrong. I was very interested in this frame. In the end, there were a bunch of factors that made me choose the riot over this one. A lot of it has to do with parts that i had that would fit the riot, and not this frame, purchase price, availability, and to an extent the weight (or rather the unknown of the reliability). If a year from now, the frame looks solid, then I may revisit. for now, I'll let others be the guinea pigs.  ;), I've saved a lot of weight on all my parts so that I'm ok with putting some meat on the frame.

He told me there's only one (superlight) version.

Cheers.

To the people who've build one, is shock mount hardware included? (two bolts for trunnion side, and the shaft mount bolt)?

Is the 41.4mm wide bushing the one I need to mount the shaft side?

Thanks.

I asked yesterday. He stated 1800g+-30g for a size large.

I actually decided against it, and go with the lexon riot.

I just ordered myself this frame in yellow tonight, I got a large. I'm about 177cm, but not very flexible in my back, so a bit larger usually works better for me. It was between this and the fm909. I picked this frame really because 1800 grams for the fm909 in a size large is just scary light, plus, I do like the look of this frame quite a bit.

I have a sidluxe 165x45 trunnion shock, and I'm stoked to see that it will work without having to install a travel reducer. This will be my first "light" build, hoping to end up right around 9.5Kg (21lbs). My other bike is a 34lbs behemoth, and I can't wait to see what that kind of wieght loss will do for me. :)

Are those the original Lezyne mounts? This alloy one; which one is it? Can you share a link possibly?
I have the O ring mount types which come in the box together with with the computer and the forward mount composite ones; 5 in total. On all of them the diagonal part which serves as a spring to keep the cmputer tightly is broken.

Right on the lezyne page:

On my road/gravel bike, I have an alloy forward mount for my lezyne device. It's held up to one bad crash so far. :)

I have a composite on the bikepacking rig and the mtb, which has been fine so far. (yes, some crashes too)

I also like the simple o-ring mounting kit, which I've had right on the stem.

This is all very light stuff, shouldnt be expensive to ship inernationally.

Surely someone is ready to upgrade to something else?
