Some orders have arrived, ordered on the 3rd of this month.
Cotton shirts look fairly good, sewing is pretty neat and the colour and printing looks good, about $15~19 each with postage.

I've used these before, they fit well on Shimano cranks.

Thought this was a cotton shirt but it's a thin stretch lycra, sewing on it is great but the print is a little off colour . About $10 delivered

Couple of pics of the Ican S3, I had intended on painting it, but I am pretty happy with the blacked out look.

At full compression there is 115mm from bolt to bolt so every chance a 165x45 shock will fit for a decent amount of rear wheel travel. Something I'll be looking into for sure.

@komdotkom I pulled all the pivots, they were pretty hard to get apart and everything is already shimmed. Everything was loctited well. I'll pop the bearing seals and put some grease in there though.

Bottom bracket shell was a bit rough, I galled a greased shimano bb cup and destroyed the cup getting it back out. I'll chase up a thread file to clean it out and try again, or find a bike shop with a park thread chaser.

Thanks for all the bananas
Does anyone have experience with ZTTO cassettes or anything outside of Sunrace/Shimano/SRAM?

I'm looking to sell the Giant Talon 1x and I need a complete 11-42 or 46T cassette and a longer derailleur.

I'm thinking of going with the full ZTTO drivetrain but I'm unsure if it will be rough as fuck or a sellable prospect.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes

I've got a fancy lightweight ztto on my Pole and it works fine.

A backpack arrived today, no bladder included.
It looks fairly well built, heaps of different compartments built into it. The chest strap clip seems to look a bit flimsy compared to what you would find on the camelbaks and I think the straps would struggle to reach around an XL size person. It's a wee bit smaller in overall size than what I had expected too, and I'm yet to take it on a ride.
