Pretty sure someone posted about these here before and that they were absolute garbage and nothing like the Bonts. From what I recall the posted commented that they were very flexy and not wide at all.

These arent the "bodoo" bont style shoes, these are "wildto" brand, which I'm pretty sure is the same brand as santic. Could be wrong thou

The look like bonts but for a fraction of the price.

The seatpost clamp arrived yesterday, it looks like a new versión and it certainly grabs the seatpost really tight.

I've tried it this morning, apparently it's all ok. It looks really good IMO.



PD; The Computer mount it's really really flimsy, if anyone knows how an alternative I'll be thankful

I've still haven't received the seatpost clamp. It's stuck in customs.

My mechanic said that the build was quite uneventful which is good news i think.

Curious what your build is going to be for this frame. Also any update on receiving the frame.

Yes, the frame arrived friday last week, it looks awesome. I will upload some pictures.

The only thing that was missing was the seatpost clamp. Jessi from tantan sent me an email today that they are recalling the seatpost clamp and she will send me a new one. I'm currently waiting on that front.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / TANTAN Computer mount
« on: March 09, 2026, 09:39:12 AM »
Hi!

I recently bought a tantan fram tha comes with the HB067 Handlebar, and the computer mount seems kind of weak for my 10000 lumen bike light.

does anybody know a good alternative of an alloy computer mount for this specific handlebar?

I've been using a niuju exs aerover version that it's far better quality that the stock one, plus it leaves the computer a little bit more parallel to the ground.

I've been looking at those cleats! Can you share more about how they feel different? Is the float less smooth? Do they clip in less reliably? I would love to save the money, but not sure how much I'd be losing out on.

IMO They are not worth it, the tension is much lower than the original standar tension cleats. Plus, the little metal knob that should be limited by the float screws doesn't work the way that it should.

I'm a "high tension" cleat guy, so take that with a grain of salt if you prefer lower tension cleats.

Also very interested in your experience with it. Could you share the breakdown of cost for frame and shipping. Appreciate it

the comunication with jessi has been 10/10 in terms of the experience. I've bought frames with a friend to lower down the cost of shipping, but just taking one frame is something like this:
- TT-X67 Frame/Fork/seatpost/spacer/handlebar 110*380: 499 USD
- Paint: Glossy white with "YS775-1" finish with "Seraph" logo in laser silver: 110 USD
- Thru Axles: 20 USD
- Headset: 10 USD
- Computer Mount: 10 USD
- Extra derailleur hanger: 10 USD (I always buy an extra DH on OEM frames just in case)
- Shipping to Chile via UPS: 380 USD
+ 5% paypal fee

Today jessi sent me a photo of the finished frame.

I bought an 105 group from anrancee and the chain seem to be genuine. I'm not 100% sure as i dont have another SLX chain to compare it to.
As i sidenote why not buy the chain from an established retailer? In this case im not sure the price diference is worth the risk of buying from Alix and chains are probably the easiest main component to fake

At least here in Chile It's much more expensive to buy from retailers (just one company has the representation of shimano), plus the availabilty ain't the best.

Has anyone bought an ultegra chain on ali? Just a chain not a full groupset. I know it's full of fakes but does someone have a good experience (with competitive price?)

As long as you buy from a reputable store (like anrancee) you should not have any problem.
