Flyxii FR-902 26" Build - ~~9.5kg

[damianpia]

Hello

This is my oldschool (lmao) 26" bike I built month ago. Ordered frame from flyxii, it took 3 weeks to come to Poland. Only problem I had was with headset - ordered it by myself - NECO H373 didn't fit well, had to replace the top spacer - FSA one did the work...

I have checked the weight of 90% of parts, some are not weighed - approx. weight is about 9.55kg

Short specification:

Suspension
My old (but gold) Rock Shox SID Race, it's in brilliant condition, done service this year - working great

Drivetrain
I bought new SLX M7000 GS-11spd derailleur and set it with my 10spd Sunrace MX3 11-42 cassette - works perfect, shifter is deore 10spd, cranks are standard Shimano HT2 with HCC Components 34T chainring (also have chinese 30t for some tougher terrain)

Wheelset
ZTR Alpine + XT hub front - about 600g, rear is ZTR Crest + SLX hub - don't know the weight - wheels were build by bargains found on local "ebay" in time when 29" boom came, a lot of ppl were selling 26" parts very cheap - I weight 75kg, they saw mountains couple of times and no problems at all

Tires
Front - Mitas Scylla 2.25 tubeless incoming, at the picture - S-works ground control 1.9 (sic!), rear - Racing Ralph 2.1 tubeless

Brakes
Front - brand new Deore m6000, Rear - M675 lever + M665 caliper

Other parts
Tomtou seatpost - I'm really impressed by production quality, on last bike I had some "replica" of Ritchey and it looked like crap
Tideace handlebar 720mm - it's okay
ESI grips - love them, tried the chinese replicas but they sucks, maybe somebody has a better chinese source of them?
Rockbros bottle holder


What's next?

I'd like to order some chinese carbon saddle - actual one doesn't fit to the rest of the bike (colour) also it weights about 260g, however I'm afraid if it wont crack - I weigh 75kg + backpack
Stem has to be changed, crappy counterfeit of Ritchey, weights a lot, looks shitty
I plan to go into 1x11 next season with 11-46 (or even 11-50 if SLX will handle it)

I have no "cap" under my BB so all mud goes through the derailleur link, is this normal? I will make picture today and add here, maybe someone have any idea how to fix it?



Cheers!

nice bike. I really like 26ers like this. I'm doing a similar build to yours now.
