Hi guys, I just received my carbon wheels from Yoeleo; however, it did not come with the axle. Do you guys recommend an axle to fit my IP-057 12X142 thru axle with Novatec D882SB rear hub? Sorry for the newbie question...

So what do you think the options are?  Maybe it is just fine too and when I cut the steerer tube it will all work.  But I can't figure out this headset and its driving me crazy.  I have probably have 3 hours invested on the headset alone doing research going back to bike and then guess and test.  Should I buy crane creek?

I am going to do my best to try and describe what i think is happening.  If I leave it how it is right now, the steerer and wheel don't move concurrently when moving the handlebars left to right.  Does the starnut and top compress it? I thought that was just to cover the top.

Your hub needs to match up to the type of setup 1x11 etc...

My hangers are 12X142 thru axle and the Novatec hub is the same. I guess my question is which one to purchase. I saw a while back thread on Mtbr regarding the specific axle that fits the hangers for the IP-057 but for the life of me I can't find it.

I meant to say integrated.  They are so similar that I just got the two mixed up.  With Zerostack you see the cup flange, with integrated there is no flange.

Oh haha...you scared me for a second. ;D

you need the shimano e-thru style like:
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/shimano-xtr-trail-e-thru-rear-axle-m988/rp-prod54897
There are some after market version but they seem to be for weight weenies with starting prices of 100euros and come from Germany or Italy.
Here is one for example:  http://r2-bike.com/Steckachsen
it is the tune e-thru 6th one down for 107euros
and you still need the nut for this one.

Regarding the headset bearing, mine sits up above the frame as well.  It looks like yours has more of a gap though- is there something in there causing it to stand off?



The split washer goes over the steer tube, with the flange down in the ID of the bearing, with the two spacers on top.   Are the spacers under the split washer on yours?



There's no gap once the cover is put on and everything is tightened up.



Hope you can get it straightened out!

Looking closer at the pictures that Turboenterprise posted, they look to my like the two thin shims that go under the dust cap are too large.  The OD of the shims appear bigger than the ID of the dust cap and the dust cap is not able to cover the shims and top bearing.

I dropped it off at the LBS.  We will see what they say.  It was outside of my comfort level and didn't want to mess anything up.

Nice work Turboenterprise!  You will have to post a review after you get some miles on her.

Update:
The ride is fast and easy.  The seat is a real ass killer but it is super light.  I did my second race of season with it yesterday and it felt good.  I'll update when I have a few more miles on it.

I did use clear gorilla tape on the underside and drive side (chain).

So I take it you wouldn't recommend that saddle to others?  I looked at that one for a long time and decided to pass. But I still haven't selected one.  I think this one or that ultra light Tioga one would be neat, but only for my shorter rides. My endurance rides of 60-100 miles might be messy.  Thoughts?

You will build up a tolerance to those seats.
On those endurance rides, though, I would want liner in my pants or something a little more substantial.  I like specialized's body geometry line...expensive though.

Turbo: how are the races going...here they are on hold until the fall(Texas).
Are you feeling or knowing some things need to be changeda?  Like XX1, is it have plenty of range for you...are you doing the single loop(cat 1)?  Tires hooking up or are they more than needed for XC?

 It is too early to tell about the seat but it is a noticeable difference against the padded MTB that I have on my other bike.  I need tolerance for it for sure but  do ride with padded Izumi shorts. 

I just got into racing and this is the first season I have raced.  The race that I did last week and this week are 5 loop Cat B races with hard pack and no elevation. I don't have the legs to keep up finished 28 out of 47 in the last race.  But I have done Single loop very technical Cat 2 races.  I need to get my endurance up.

XX1 so far is perfect with a 32T for me.  I haven't once said to myself I wish I had my 3x9 setup back.  My buddy with a FS Niner rode it and loved it and might change out his x9 setup.  Tires so far are great, I have had a lot of people ask me about the 2.4 Ardent up front and what I think about it. It probably is too big for XC racing but some of courses we do are really rocky and technical so I got to protect the carbon rim and run low pressure in.   Running around 20psi with tubeless and tape on the carbon rims and will slowly lower till comfortable. 

Overall I don't have a lot of experience with other bikes so haven't formed preferences to say I changed X because of X.
