New Fantic Fat Sport Integra - More Info Added

[BMP]

I just purchased this bike from Upway at a great price. 1950 with a 100 off coupon code seemed to be a no brainer. I'm looking forward to getting miles in this winter on a more capable bike. The only things I have done so far are a Quad Lock phone mount and will go tubeless soon. One thing that I noticed immediately was how quiet the Brose T-Alu motor is. It is way quiter than my Bosch Gen 4 CX Perf. Also the Fantic app is actually pretty decent and the display is much better than the Purion that my Gen 2 Rail has. Overall I am super happy with the purchase. It will be getting some Renthal bars and an Apex stem soon.

Tubeless set up is done. The shop used the stock rim strip and added rim tape and Stans Tubeless schrader valves. The wheels were already drilled oversized. The presta valve tubes that came stock worked OK, but the hole in the rim was way too larger for a presta tubeless stem. They hold pressure rock steady with the Orange Seal sealant.

Wow! Looks clean. The bike looks great also.

Just got one of the last ones they had, too good of a deal to pass up! Did you have to anything special to get the Fantic app to connect to the bike? I am not having any luck.

I see they are all gone now. Must have sold the last ones quickly.

You have to establish a connection on the handlebar display on the bike to the app.

Yeah, they had 3 left on Christmas morning and they were all gone by that afternoon. They reduced the price by $200 and they had sent me a post card with a discount code for $150, tried it and it worked also! Got it down to $1600/$1800 w/taxes and shipping. Unbelievable.

Thanks for the tip. I had not played around too much with the display settings. All connected now.

That is so awesome! What a crazy buy! The Fantic app is very useable and works well.

Been riding/feeling out the bike the last couple of days on my local bike path route (12 miles roundtrip). No real snow currently on the Denver Front Range and not wanting to travel up I-70. Am really impressed with the build quality as I had never heard of Fantic. Figured being Italian it would be good. I did find something that I was not overly concerned about but did add some extra protection to. Under the down tube there is a plastic cable router fastened to the frame. I had removed the battery and was admiring the cable routing clips underneath battery and reached up inside towards the headtube and was surprised at the 2 sharp screws used to secure the cable routing piece to the downtube. I decided to add some plastic protectors on top of those screws from rubbing on cables routed nearby. I am wanting to convert to tubeless but have not found any information about the rims if they are tubeless ready and have popped the tire off the rim yet.



*** just saw your edit/addition to your original post about going tubeless.

Nice catch on the screws!

My LBS did my tubeless set up. They seemed to think it was fine doing Stans tubeless schrader valves, 80mm Stans rim tape, and Orange Seal with the stock Jumbo Jim tires. Both of mine sealed up fine. They thought it was a little funny that the rims are already drilled out for the larger schrader valve size but used a presta valve tube stock.
