Just like the China chinese needs to learn to speak softly in public places, speaking loudly makes senses if you are a farmer and needs to talk to someone across the next field. Chinese companies need to be told not to do 'BIG Fxxking TEXT LOGO', I really don't mind riding bikes with chinese brands, or logos, but they need to stop making their logo fit on the entire frame. I spend days (and changing lots of parts, pedal, BBs, ) trying to figure out where that squeak was coming from.Ģd. Metal one squeaks when I peddle.**sigh**. One seat post clamp was hard plastic and the other metal. I bought two frames, another size 52 subsequently and they came with different type of dust seal, First one does absolutely nothing to protect the seatpost area from water and dust/sands, the 2nd one was basically ugly and also torn (and couldn't be use) when it arrived.Ģc. I've feedback to Trifox Sales person, hopefully it went up the food chain.Ģb. It totally cut the rubber housing although the steel outer housing was fine. There was no plastic plug for the brake cable (only for the shifter cables) and after a few hundred KMs, the carbon frame sharp edges cut into my internally routed brake cables. I have not actually encounter issues during my actual rides but I'm not heavy (72kg) and I'm not a hard sprinter (below 400w)Ģa. Fork flex - When I pressed the fork slightly off center with wheels and disc brakes, rotor in place, the rotor would touch the disc brakes, so that suggest to me that if I'm a sprinter (I'm not), it might touch during hard sprinting. Carbon - it's T800 and it's light but it does flex.ġa. There are a number of reviews on Youtube, so I won't go through the details or photos but maybe give a couple of the things I like, dislike about the frame, as well as issues and potential issues.ġ. The overall frame was great, paintjob was well done, smooth. I originally bought a size 49 and a size 52 about a 2 months later, (disc brakes) and I'm 1.68m (average Asian), 52 yrs old and restarted cycling 2 years ago after a break of 36+ years. I was wavering between the X16 and X18, but went with X16 because of the issues with the SL7 recall (since X18 was supposely based on SL7).

If you have any questions that weren't answered in the post please feel free to ask.Just thought I give my personal thoughts on Trifox X16.

#TRIFOX BIKES UPDATE#

The only thing to keep in mind is the tire clearance with the trend towards wider tires the X16 lags behind in this respect and I hope the company will update the design in the near future it would make it much more enjoyable for urban riding if you could squeeze a 30MM tire on the bike. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the bike so far and have encountered no real issues. Shifting feels good but that's not really a result of the frame, but I haven't had any issues with cable runs or things affecting the shifting. I quite like the position but that's personal preference. The geometry is pretty aggressive, very similar to that of a Specialized SL6/SL7 so if you're a newer rider you may find it a bit harsh for the first few weeks. There isn't any creaking from the frame or slipping on the seatpost (which is a common complaint for budget carbon bikes) and it's a pretty smooth ride but due to the tire limitations of 25MM or so (you could probably squeeze a small 28MM) when you encounter bumps or potholes it's a little bumpy. The frame feels pretty stiff, and the finished build ended up being pretty light, around 7.5KG fully loaded. A few weeks ago I built up a Trifox X16 road bike, a fairly common option if you're looking for a budget carbon frame and I've gotten around to putting some miles on it and I wanted to share what I thought about it.įirst off, ride feel.
