Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: TT-X42 Full Bike with Carbon and Wheeltop
« on: November 22, 2024, 03:26:50 PM »
I bought one of these.

Maximum clearance is 30c, 32c is dependant on wheel and tyre combination.

I paid $1800 delivered to Australia.

If I had my time again I would have just built up a bike from scratch. If you start replacing parts it will end up costing a lot more.

The wheels are really heavy, 1900 grams. (I got the carbon wheels)

I have replaced the following: Crankset, axles, saddle, tyres. New wheels will be the next purchase which will take the bike to around 7kg.

Does anyone have experience with Riro carbon crankset with 24mm aluminium axle?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007344893638.html

Thinking about getting one on for my new build. The frame has bb86 bb shell and I don't really want to go for a dub crank.
Was looking around for some lighter 24mm axle cranks and could only find this Riro crank and a raceworks one.
Any feedback on how those axles hold up?

Hey mate, I have a Riro at the 50/34 chainring. Has around 500km on it so far, so I cant comment on longevity. No issues installing, I do have a T47-79BB.

That's strange, when they first had the bike listed you could choose custom painting?

It really seems like all of these frames are coming from the same place, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

These bars came on my Seraph bike.

Rate them nightly considering the price they are. I'm 95KG and they have minimal flex.

There is no way this is only 28c clearance. My last frame from TanTan said 28c and I fit 32c. They seem to be very conservative with measurements for some reason.

How are those BBs holding up guys? I don't wanna instal another pf dura Ace bb and was considering the threaded one like this. Easy to put better bearings and it should work great. Would be way cheaper then buying something better then dura ace like bikone

I have a T47 77mm BB from ZTTO and it has been great (so far) has only done a few thousand kilometres. Install was very easy. Bearings actually seem decent.

Looks like RideNow have a version with a pink (alloy?) stem with a black base (I assume it's some kind of material covering the stem to help with durability). Has anyone tried these? Are they newer then the white stem version?

Yes, they are the new version. I have these and they seem to be higher quality than the valve on the white version.

And the pink valve is very cute  8)

I've tried few of those AliExpress without success and moved back to classic padded selle Italia. But recently got this spesh Romin clone from ryet and freaking love it

Have the same saddle, really recommend it. Cushioning is perfect and fairly light also. More expensive than the other popular Ryet Saddle (I bought both) however I'd say it's better.

I have two of these frames, raced with them and send one back under warranty received something else instead. Still discussing with Yoho bike the warranty on the last frame. They are ghosting me.

Managed to crack out the bottom bracket from sprinting after a corner.
Borat quality frames.

I have ridden alot of these replica frames last years. These SL frames are something else. Most people have to use washers between the spacers since they couldn't even copy it decently.

Alright well I have well and certainly taken this frame off the list. Thanks for the update mate!

Not sure if anyone has found a 600 gram frame, plenty of 800 gram frames though.
