I think I found a sturdier mount: see Attachments

I have the same handlebar. I am surprised that this is a reliable & solid option without a 3rd screw. Is it truly solid?

Mine cracked last week. I contacted them and they told me a new one was 10 usd + shipping. Not worth it for that piece of shit. I have not found a good alternative yet.

My mount cracked yesterday. I rolled over a hole and it cracked  I wrote to seraph & also SP cycle to see what options they have. SP offers the same bar with the r066. Maybe they have better options,most likely no.

4
I have loosened the headset to take a look if the cut c ring did any damage. None that I can see. Also, even if I put the kocevlo spacer with holes, there is no pin protruding from the headset cover or the c-ring. So that spacer would also move independently.

Anyone else had to put a spacer between the headset cover and c ring? Even if not cut, the spacer could damage the steerer or hoses.

5
If they had something my size, it would be tempting. Their 56 seems more like a sl9 54.

6
The micro spacer is on top of the c ring. The C ring was not enough to give the right gap between frame and headset cover. The micro spacer is only to allow a bigger gap. I don't see how it would cause concerns.

7
I never found it. I ended up cutting a standard micro spacer since brake cables are already routed. I believe the cut micro spacer is not ideal, but should hold on since it's a 1mm, not the flimsy 0.5mm. big enough gap now.

Ah ok, those guys. I don't remember receiving different sizes. I guess I will start searching in my "lost & found" toolbox drawer.

The front end of the headset cover is touching the frame for me. Anyone has that issue? I have retorqued everything around the headset 2-3 times. No fix

Yes, I can see the BB area looking from the seat tube.

I looked at the seat tube, nothing blocking the path on my frame.

Just updating on the dispute. Tantan keeps proposing to return the whole frameset even though I explained that I started the build already and don't have all the packaging & big box to return the frameset. There is no way I am going to buy a frameset box & foam to return everything. The fork tube is even cut to my size.

Heavily disappointed by TanTan on the communications through the whole transaction and now the way they handle the wrong size handlebar & dispute is just wrong. If not ghosting my messages, they were just being rude. They took pictures that I provided to convince aliex that I was actually trying to scam them even if I told them that I measured the handlebar when I was building the bike. They actually called me a scammer during the dispute.

I am trying to escalate that to AliExpress since the dispute ended up with final resolution of returning the whole frameset as well based on misunderstanding from Ali I think.

They also painted the bike glossy even if I asked for matte finish. They agreed and said ok to that. 6 days after the shipping of frame, they finally provided pictures of the frameset(I asked them when ordering to send pictures before shipping) & again proposed to cancel the whole order. After waiting 2 months for frame shipping, that did not seem acceptable since I had all the parts waiting for the build and wanted to ride the bike before season ends in Canada. I ended up threatening them to use this forum to complain and they offered ridiculous 25 usd refund(free thru axles), which I accepted since it was either that or order another frameset from other seller with even more delaying my bike build.

@joey, I won't be able to take weights of fork & seatpost. Bike is partially built. I will take a look for the seat tube.

I also received wrong size of HB. I am disputing at the moment via AliExpress because they have offered to return everything. Well I started the build & destroyed the box.

Can I ask how you reached a partial refund?

14
I received the frame. Not much to report in addition of what was already said here.

One question. Can you confirm that you all received an headset cover that does not physically connects with the c ring? Not that it's a major concern since I believe the pressure should be enough to make the c ring follow the movement of the bar. Just surprised that it does not have a notch since the c ring does.

Let me know if any questions on the frame I got. Size 58 cm painted. 1140gr.

15
Tantan confirmed it's coming to Canada by air. Now 15 days since last update. Tantan keeps telling to "wait for more time". Bought the frame Aug 4th, shipped Sept 13th. Still has not left China it looks like.

I was hoping to ride the bike this season, looks like it will be a 2026 bike.
