Re: Show me your Chinese TT/Tri bike [FactVord]
This is mine...
purchased from a manufacturer called Archteks Ltd. on Alibaba.com for $425

Same frame as seen on Page 4 of this thread



Force RD, 1050 cassette, Force Crank 170 53t
Neco tapered headset, KMC x10sl chain, xpedo pedals
HED aerobar (original), cosmic carbone sr's
yokozuna cables/housing

I have yet to find compatible brakes though, I just got a pair of r725's for 50$ on eBay, but the front doesn't fit at all, the rear brake seems to fit fine behind the fork, but obviously i cant mount it because the hardware is different. I tried swapping the mounting bolts, but it just won't work.

As you'll notice the hole on the front of the fork is larger than the one in the back, Tektro's website said somewhere that the r725 was made specifically for this type of setup.



the rear r725 brake fits great under the BB, but the cable noodle extends into the crank no matter what side it's on, and the brakepad bolt slightly interferes with the chainring.



Per Allenpg's posts...(he's got the same frame as me)...looks like i'll be getting a TRP t925.1r for the rear

The Tektro R725 front brake WILL NOT WORK with this fork. You actually need to use the R725 rear brake behind the fork. For the rear brake, I used the new TRP T925.1R so the brake noodle would have enough crank clearance.

Allenpg - how did you manage to get the rear r725 onto the fork?

Here is the TRP T925.1R



Yeah I shave my legs, so what? I shave my arms too.........
