Is it possible to mount a 156mm sram xx1 crank on the bb92 version of this frame? My worries are about the q factor

Q-factor should not depend on BB type. so if I have 156Q with GXP BSA, then you won't have problem with clearance.

So mine is finally finished. I made a last minute change and bought some Easton Havoc bars. I cut them to 760 with the intention of putting them on my 5010 and swapping the RF Next bars to the 062 but the Havocs are on the HT for now. The weight came in a little better than expected as this is with XT Trail pedals which aren't exactly light.

And as you can see, my picture taking skills are lacking tonight

Here is the spec list.

Fork: Workswell 15mm full carbon rigid (squishy fork eventually)
F Brake: SLX 180 CL rotor

Seatpost: Carbon setback post from eBay seller cfbstore

Yes but is 156mm ok for this frame or do have I to mount 168?

I'm not sure what the Q-factor of mine are but I can measure  my XO crank if that helps. Where is the best place to take the measurement?

Yes it's ok and safe.

Thank you so much! Now I can order it!

I got to do a 12 mile maiden voyage on the 062 yesterday. Being fully rigid, I was expecting a not so enjoyable ride. I was riding with my wifes crew so I knew it would be low key and a great trial run. It really exceeded my expectations and was a blast to ride. I set numerous PR's when climbing. Yes I needed to stand more than on my squishy bike but I like standing anyway. Other than changing the pitch of the seat, the fit was spot on and it felt very comfortable. There was no awkward new bike feeling, it's always nice feeling at home on a bike after spending too much money on something I wasn't able to demo. The loop had a good mix of everything. Fast and flowy, some rocks and roots, rock gardens, plenty of climbing, and a super fun descent. The bike did them all without any hesitation. I did loose my back brake just before the descent so that put a damper on things but thats my fault, not the bikes. I posted a video of the descent in a different thread. Here is the link if your curious. For the record, i was on my trail bike for the video.

That being said, my planned mods are now changing.
1) 120mm squishy fork has been pushed back. I'm actually liking the rigid fork
2) initially planned to get some WTB trail blazer 2.8 tires and run it as a 27.5+ bike using my trail bike wheels. Now I'm thinking to just get some 30mm internal 29" wheels and keep it like that. These 18mm internal rims just aren't the same.
3) still plan to swap bars with the trail bike. With the rigid fork, I'm hoping the Next bars will have a little more give than these Havoc DH bars.

Hi, has anyone here ordered the frame and fork together? i've seen it mentioned that it comes with axles, but the seller description are kind of vague and i'd like to know if i need to order the axles seperately. Thanks!

[bxcc]

Yes I ordered the frame and fork at the same time. In the box was a frame, seatpost collar, 135 QR dropouts, 142x12 dropouts, 142x12 axle, headset, fork, and 15mm axle.

Mine came with the 142 parts also...which I recently switched to. I like the 142 so much more than the 135 QR! Wheel goes on so much easier, especially on the bike stand.

As a mechanic of sorts, this was one of my favorite things about the through-axles. I've gotten in the habit of popping the bike out of the stand and resting it on the floor to make sure QR wheels are properly positioned, since a little bit off can throw off brakes and gears and all - no need for that anymore!

[RS VR6]

Yeah man...everything is lined up once the axle slides through.

Some updates on the bike.

Picked up another set of wheels. These are 142x12 and XD compatible. Kind of a sideways move on weight compared to my Crank Bros wheels. Added some "hop up" parts to the X0 Type 2.1 RD...and installed a Kabolt to the front and an Ibis Hexle rear axle. The Hexle is a bit short...so I don't think it's going to stay. I really like the clean look of the bolt through axles though.
