ceccotti xc build

[Icyseanfitz]

Finished up my budget ceccotti carbon hardtail, I think it turned out looking really nice, as for performance it hasn't been out yet so "to be determined" my biggest concern isnt the frame tbh its the bolany fork, but i took it all apart threadlocked the important stuff and put fresh oil in the air chamber with sram butter on everything else so fingers crossed, seems solid enough just basic. build is coming in just under 10kg, so not the lightest but not bad either considering the budget parts. Cable routing was easy enough during the build, only tricky part was routing the dropper cable around the bb shell and up the seattube.

I had nightmare creaking issues with the same crank hope yours is better !

Also how good are the merocas m4 ? Thinking of getting a set for my fatbike

My experience with these cranks is mixed, this is my second set, first had to be cut off a frame as the extractor bolt had stopped as the bolt material was too soft. This current set has been on a few different bikes so far and no issues though.

I'm curious about the Bolany fork, I'm ready to buy any chinese parts, but forks.....
And also, regarding Meroca, what kind of brake pad did they put?

I believe the pads are organic, I'm going to buy some Shimano saint ceramic pads to replace though.

The fork is an interesting one, I don't have enough miles on it to even nearly recommend it yet but so far it's holding together. But for an xc build it does the job as it's only around 1800g. I disassembled it on arrival and there where one or two manufacturing defects but overall it was solid and simple, I lubed everything up with SRAM butter and threadlocked everything with a thread. I'll leave a review after a couple of 100km
