Flyxii FE-02 Build

Well, the two advantages I mentioned are actually decent for a commuter bike, despite probably not what people buy them for LoL. They also look nice in photos, but that is pretty much all about it.

I just got my frame a couple days. Waiting for some parts to start the build. I was wondering if anyone has run full cable housing to the rear derailleur instead of using the tubing and cable stops provided? How's the shifting with the tubing the way it's provided?

I have no experience with this frame, but from my experience with my carbonda 696 frame I would strongly advice full outer housing.
AT first I did only the inner cable but could not get it to shift right. Running it with the outer cable was the solution.

I pulled the trigger on the FE-02. Should be here in 2 weeks. I'll post up some pics when it gets here. This'll be my first full carbon bike. I'm going to put a dropper and some 29x2 tires on it.

Did 2.0 tires fit for you?  I'm wondering if 2.2s might squeeze in there.

700 x 50mm (measured ~52 mm) fit fine on my FE-02 but I wouldn't go much wider, at least on the rear - you can probably fit a 2.2 on the front - but I found them to be too tall, i.e. brought my center of mass too far above the ground for my liking. I'm currently running 650b x 54mm (measured width) tires which fit in the rear with ~3 mm of room on all sides and I like the handling a lot more.
