TRIFOX Full Carbon Fiber Road Bike Frame Bicycle Frameset X16TA Disc Brake Thru Axle Specialized Roadbike quadro carbono mtb 29

Frame
Was my cheap, Chinese, Carbon Fibre bike from AliExpress worth it?

The reviewer discusses their experience with the TRIFOX Full Carbon Fiber Road Bike Frame (model X16TA) purchased from AliExpress for £430 including shipping. They highlight that the frame is designed for disc brakes with thru-axle fittings (also available in a QR variant) and comes with a seat post, fork, and all necessary headset bearings. The reviewer mentions initial issues with cable routing holes being at right angles rather than angled, which they fixed by filing. They also note a proprietary seat post design that might complicate replacements. Despite these minor issues, the frame has performed well over 3,000 miles, including long-distance rides.

TanTan x38 Review - Aero Isn't Everything

The reviewer discusses the Tantan X38 Aero frame set extensively throughout the video. They highlight its super aero profile, lightweight construction (approximately 1100 grams unpainted), and affordable price point of around $700 including shipping. The frame is described as unapologetically aero, resembling the Scott Foil RC Pro, and offers a comfortable ride despite its aggressive look. The reviewer mentions the frame's geometry is suitable for most people but notes it lacks refinement over rough roads compared to more expensive frames. They also discuss the frame's compatibility with various components, including a T47 bottom bracket and hidden cable routing.

  • Super aero profile
  • Lightweight (approximately 1100 grams unpainted)
