Welcome, I'm sure the members will be able to answer any of your questions.  As for a thread on building your first bike, check out some of my early posts on Chinertown.  Here is one thread I found:  http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4.msg7.html#msg7

I have built both a hard tail and a full suspension, most bikes are very similar with minor differences from using different frames.  Otherwise most bikes have about the same number of parts.  Be sure to post up what you learn from your build along with pictures.  Chinertown's goal is to be a technical resource for those that are interested in building their own Chinese Carbon bikes.

Welcome Slarti. You'll love building up your own bike, and it's really not that hard. You will have to buy a basic bike specific tool kit that'll cost you $50 or so.. but these are all tools you should have anyway if you own an mtb. As for tutorials.. Use this forum for specific information/questions and YouTube for general basic mtb building how-tos.

Good luck!

Welcome! I will post some ride impressions once I get to ride mine. In the meantime, here are 2 threads to check out.

Howdy,

Been lurking for a while, but decided to possibly swap some AL for some C. So have a few questions I can hope to get answered

Thanks

Hi everyone! ...and thanks guys for starting this forum!

I've already received a ton of great information from it and will be checking through more threads to help me decide between a CS 041 or MB01 hardtail. You guys have been trailblazing for the noobs like me, and I really appreciate it!

Cheers!

Hi all,

First post on here!
Born again MTBer and new to 29ers or anything carbon.

Looking to end up with a rigid HT 29er 3k  1x11 matte - let the quest begin!

[Carbon_Dude]

Welcome!  Take a look at the 27+ and 29+ carbon frame options, that will be my next hardtail bike.  We have a forum dedicated to plus sized wheels.  Please post up any questions you have.

Hi!

30 year old dude from Norway here.

Looking into buying a 057 frame and build my first bike. If someone can recommend a vendor please feel free to drop me a msg or let me know in this thread.

Looking forward to share my build once I get the parts!

[Carbon_Dude]

Welcome!  The 057 is a very good choice.  Check with Peter at XMcarbonspeed.com, he is very easy to work with.

Planning my first build. CS057, 17.5" BSA 142x12 UD with custom paint from Peter at xmcarbonspeed.com  plus bars, seat post with clamp, bottle cages, a rear thru axle, and extra dropout.  he sent me left & right pic of frame for designing paint, Peter says they use Pantone color system.  Hopefully everything goes well on this build.  also posted in MTBR Chinese carbon 29er thread

Hey everyone!

Just joined today and am happy to announce i just finished building a CS-057 carbon hardtail!!! Not much time on it yet and still working out a couple of bugs with getting the tubeless tires to seal but first impressions are amazing!!! I'll be posting pics and a build list shortly. In the meant time if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.

Welcome adbl, glad you like your CS-057, I built mine about 3 years ago and it's still going strong.  As for tubeless tires, make sure you shake and spin the wheels around flipping them over and doing so on both side.  It's good to also leave them lying horizontal for a few ours, flipping them occasionally.  If they hold air overnight they should be ready to go.

Please post a picture in the 29er picture thread when you get a chance.
