Chinese road carbon frame TRIFOX: build

- I will build a carbon road bike on the Chinese frame TRIFOX. When building the bike, it was pleasant to work with the frame, it was without any problems. The result is a nice and surprisingly light bike. Few comments about the build... I have to praise the well prepared cable routing through the frame which is easy to service. The thread on the bottom bracket seems to me - in the era of all sorts of pressers - also superb. Hopefully sometime after Christmas the roads will dry up so I can try it out and share with you my first impressions of the ride.
V dnešním videu postavím silniční karbonové kolo TRIFOX na čínském rámu. Při stavbě kola se s rámem pracovalo dobře, bez jakýchkoliv problémů. Výsledkem je pěkné a překvapivě lehké kolo. Pár poznatků z mé práce... Musím pochválit vedení lanek rámem, dobře připravené a jednoduše servisovatelné. Závit na středové složení mně přijde v době všemožných lisovaček , také lepší. Snad někdy po Vánocích oschnou silnice abych ho mohl vyzkoušet a podělit se s vámi o první dojmy z jízdy.

Very nice build! The bike looks impressive and specially in the era of disk brakes and Di2 it’s nice to see an old school bike with no full integration of cables, which are a pain when it comes to maintenance.
Thank you for the support. At present, the problem is to buy a frame for classic brakes, so I tried a Chinese product. We'll see on the road, hopefully I'll survive it!?
@@OnRoadVintageBikes we'll be waiting for your review on this build
@@unairamos74it's still snowing 😞
The first test turned out great. The bike goes forward, is stiff and quite comfortable on the wrong road.
It's a great - such nice frame and a perfect set of components some claim that the frame is better than Specialized Tarmac ... Maybe ...
Díky Kubo, jo vypadá parádně. Jaký bude uvidíme na silnici. Na trenažéru jede dobře!
Beautiful build---love that you added a bit of flash with the colors--with the height of the head stack it looks like it will be comfortable as well.
Thank you very much.
Another great build ❤️
I’m a great fan of calliper brakes 👍
Keep safe during these trouble times
Save the caliper brakes! Hard times are coming... hopefully they will go away soon.
Very nice so beautiful assembled of road bike I liked the colour red housings so unique
Yes i tried to make it look good, thank you very much.
That really is a beautiful bike. Lightweight as well.
Thank you very much.
Je to príma relax ...skládat si takto kolo..Já se bavil tím že jsem si jen tak koupil favorita a zrepasoval ho..Nejezdím na něm..jen jsem si chtěl užít..A nové kolo to musí být ještě lepší..Rozbalovat komponenty a skládat ..
Děkuji za sledování videa. Jo taky mě to dost baví skládat kola! Ostatně na mém YT je to trochu vidět :-)))
Great job ! I have the same frame and I built it with Ultegra to in Di2. Since 1 year. Everything is great !
Thank you very much.
What tyre clearance does it have?
now I have 25 there, I haven't tried more yet
@@OnRoadVintageBikes do you reckon it had space for 28s
@@charliewhelan9488 I do it for you...😉
I was surprised at my Trifox X8 having just a small hole for the front derailleur cable like yours. It was helpful to see how that was routed.
I am very happy with Trifox. It's a lightweight, comfortable and enjoyable bike. Thank you for watching.
The grey groupset suits the frame colour way 👍
My next build will be with modern components as vintage components are getting very expensive now
I will keep riding steel bikes though 😊
Another great build thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Mike! I wish you a Merry Christmas and strong health in the new year
@@OnRoadVintageBikes
Wishing you and your family Happy Christmas and. prosperous New Year
Stay safe and don’t fall of your bike again
Your dog will be sad again 🐩
@@Yonok2009 Thank you.
superb. i wish i have this bike
Thank you for watching.
Awesome video. Man I would love to build my own bike
Thank you very much friend.
Спасибо за видео. Очень познавательно.
Ждем отчет о заездах на шоссе. )
Thank you for support, as the roads dry up and it will be a little warmer I will do a test ride.
Nice build - Trifox is definitely a brand to watch, great value. I have mine (X16 - 52cm) on full Tiagra 4700 groupset and ICAN 38mm wheels currently at 7.5kg. A few simple changes planned will bring it down to about 7.2kg road ready including bottle cage, pedals and computer mount.
Thanks for watching, yes also Trifox seems good price/performance ratio.
That's impressive, already ordered a X16 - 56cm, I'm on the fence getting Tiagra 4700 or Sensah Empire Pro 2x11, I would rather go for reliability
Gd mg how is the ride so far.. I'm keen to know if it is a stiff frame n performance is good?
@@Juicesters22 performance is fine, stiffness is also good - only complaint is there was a creaking from the BB area after about 1000km, I resolved it with some PTFE tape and is ok now but was very annoying on an otherwise great frame.
Hi! Thanks for posting such a detailed build. One question- did you use a washer between the brake calipers and the carbon frame? Thanks!
Thank you very much for your support, no I did not.
Hi, this video has been on TH-cam 9 month, do you still recommend this frame to consumer?
Hi, thank you for watching the video. Yes, I can highly recommend the frame, I have about 3000 km on it and one cat run over and it is my favorite bike. The frame is both comfortable and stiff enough. Exceeded my expectations.
Boa tarde, gostaria de saber sobre esses cabos vermelhos,e se vc passa o tflon por dentro desse cabo,e qual e aquelas peças que e instalada no cabo,onde vc comprou.
Oi, os conjuntos de cabos Bowden vermelhos para freios e mudanças são feitos pela Shimano (muito bom) não pela Jagwire
Muito obrigado.
Hello! Any feedback on this frame after almost year of using it? Im planning to get one this coming Christmas. Thanks
Hi, no problem, comfortable, reasonably stiff frame. I like it, it could be compatible with wider tires...but I can't want everything. I can recommend.
@@OnRoadVintageBikes any minor or major issues you in counter for over a year of using it?
Couple of questions:
1. What size is your Trifox?
2. What brand did you use for the cable housings?
Thank you for watching. 1.XL 2.Jagwire
@@OnRoadVintageBikes Thanks! Just ordered one in 56cm size, what is your height?
Hi i just started collected my gear setup. Can you please list all what groupset, stem handlebar that you use thank you.
Hi, thank you forn watching . stem handlebar: DEDA Zero, groupset Shimano Ultegra 6700, saddle: Fizik Arione
I just got my X16 QR, I'm little confused regarding the split crown race ring, isn't that supposed to be installed on the fork steerer? durianrider also mentioned he didn't installed it
I don't think it belongs there, I didn't put it there and it works perfectly.
@@OnRoadVintageBikes Thanks for your feedback!
Interesting that the cable housing does not run all the way into the frame, is this a feature of the Trifox frame itself or can I do this on other frames?
This has each frame differently, thank you for watching the video.
Řadí ti to dobře? Mě tahle generace řazení často řádila špatně , teda jen prehazka.
Jo řadí, dobrá lanka a bowdeny tomu neškodí.
@@OnRoadVintageBikes s kvalitni a novou kabeláží to musí řadit, ale po čase se u toho snižuje kvalita řazení. U jedenactky, nebo naopak starších řazení s "tykadlama" mi to řadilo roky bez výměn kabeláže, jen sem tam očištění a namazani. To mam zkusenost stejnou s durou, ultegrou i 105.
Very nice build and I am tempted to pull the trigger on this frame in XL size. Can someone confirm the maximum distance from BB center to saddle railes? I can't seem to be able to find this information. I'm a tall rider, 190cm and this distance needs to be a minimum of 800mm to fit me well. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
How much you need to the top of the saddle. I have 82cm from the middle of BB to the top of the saddle. Parallel to the seat tube. Thank you for watching.
To be exact, enter of BB to the rail mount on my current bike is 79cm and to top of my saddle 84.5cm. Is your frame XL and is it already maxed out?
@@sylpawmich 58cm XXL and I am 1cm below the limit. Max. is cca 83cm to the top of saddle
@@OnRoadVintageBikes Thanks a lot, this is some very important info. I will check if I can compensate for that by using a saddle with a different profile.
Gd mg hows the overall ride feel so far...
Hi, the bike is impeccable, the frame is stiff and comfortable enough. I have driven about 3000 km on it and one cat run over and everything is fine. It's my favorite bike.
OnRoad Vintage Bikes, is your rear derailleur working well? I abandoned to use the cable guide plate at under BB of the frame when I built my Trifox X16. I had to put outer cable of rear derailleur in through the frame to make my rear derailleur working well. I believe both the cable guide plate and Its rear derailleur hanger have less stiffness for accurate shifting.
My rear derailleur works fine. Thank you for watching.
Maybe a silly question, when you insert the shifter and brake cables on the plastic tubes that came with the bike do you remove the plastic tubes after you've routed the cable or does it stay inside the frame? Regards
Thank you for watching. I left them there, sealed them in a funnel at the top, and shortened them just at the end. Regards
@@OnRoadVintageBikes Thanks!
It is worth the money to pay for this type of bike? Let's know
So far I have the bike on the home trainer, there it is cool. It's still cold for outdoor training. But I will test it for a long time and the results will be in the video.
@Pierre C thank you
I just got my X16 frame, are the internal routing sleeves meant to be removed after the inner cables are installed? I see you left the sleeve for the front derailer.
I left it there for the next install. I shortened the tubes and spread them at the top with a heated iron wedge so they wouldn't fall in.
@@OnRoadVintageBikes Did you remove the sleeve from the rear derailer and brake cables after you installed the inner cables?
@@havadatequila no
Why pay more for big brands who get their products made in China ?
Trifox are awesome!
Thank you for watching. I have to say that the ride on the Trifox is also good, it's stiff, comfortable. I have no problem.
@@OnRoadVintageBikes would you recommend it? My next bike I will build up myself and I am strongly interested in trifox !
@@XKsavX666 I have driven about 1000km on Trifox and I did not find any problems. The bike goes forward , does not twist , is comfortable ... i can recommend it
Just a heads up, those fsa small chain rings don't work well with Shimano. They're offset differently so the spacing isn't the same if paired with a Shimano crank
Thank you for watching. I didn't have a problem with it, working well. Maybe a different model?
@@OnRoadVintageBikes It will "work" but will be more prone to rub in cross chaining positions
Thanks for the video. Would you know the torque specs of the frame?
Thank you for watching the video. What do you mean by torque specs?
@@OnRoadVintageBikes The recommended torque for each area of the frame. Usually branded frames come with specification in the manual but the trifox didn't come
Greetings. Does this frame allow 28mm wide tires to pass? I appreciate your response as this could condition the purchase. I would like this frame only to be used with 28 mm tires.
Hi, I ride 25mm and there is still space in the frame. It also depends on the width of the rims. I think 28mm should be without problems.
are dropouts made of alluminium?
No, carbon. Thank you for watching.
Hey which headset did you use for this bike?
Thank you for watching, the one that came to me with the frame.
@@OnRoadVintageBikes so all I need is a steerer plug? I have the frame on the way . I ordered X8 trifox
@@XKsavX666 I think everything is in the package
@@OnRoadVintageBikes thanks man. I’m so excited for this bike
@@XKsavX666 Be it, it's a very good bike. I like it. I like to ride it.
