Dudleik CS-041 Mk2
« on: July 29, 2016, 10:04:23 AM »
My first version (http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,741.msg8216.html) of the frame got a crack in the seat tube, got a new frame under warranty from Peter / XMCarbonSpeed. Received the frame today, nicely padded inside what almost felt like an empty box. Naked weight is 1034g. It's got a few updates compared to the old one.
-The cable stop for the front derailleur has been fixed, will now accomodate ferrule with no problems. Tested with Jagwire metal ferrule.
-It's got a chain suck protector.
-The guide tube for the rear brake is black.
-The screws for the cable stops for internal routing are black.

It still has the cable stop for the rear derailleur on the right side, imo would be much better looking if it was on the left side. Now, on to the building. Not going to be much different from my first as I'll just transplant the parts. Going to try a few parts from Wolf Tooth and one from SRAM though.

Carbon_Dude,

They're showing fine for me on chrome. Could it be a browser issue?

Thanks. Images are showing fine on my Firefox and mobile Safari, and Midwest-MTBer's Chrome though. Browser issue?

Sorry, seems to be a problem with my VPN client on my Windows work computer.  Images are coming through on my Macbook Pro.

Carry on :).

Glad I'm not the only one on this site at work...  8)

dudleik, Frame looks awesome. I have an 036 waiting for me at home tonight and I'm practically ready to just walk out of work and start building! I'll keep following this thread. I'm excited to see how your build turns out.

Technically teleworking on Friday's.  I have two computers side-by-side, one work, one play.

As I had to cut the rear brake hose to remove the brake levers from the old frame I had to get a new set of hose. Such a pleasure to work with dry brake hoses - no spraying oil all over the place when I cut it to length. I've now installed most of the parts, what's left is filling and bleeding the rear brake. I've installed a Wolf Tooth remount for my fork lockout, cockpit looks so much cleaner without that housing sticking out in the front. Also a GoatLink for the rear mech as I've installed a SRAM 10-42 cassette. Will be interesting to see if shifting is improved.

On to the pictures..


That Shimano tool makes BB92 really no more work than BSA.




Almost done

All done! Final weight as pictured is 9970g. Not too bad considering I haven't really specced it with a lightweight mindset.

Seatpost and handlebar from Peter. Stem is Ritchey Comp.
Groupset, brakes and pedals are Shimano XT M8000 except cassette which is SRAM GX 10-42 (XG-1150?). Running 1x11. Using a GoatLink to make the Shimano derailleur cooperate with the 10t sprocket.
Fork is DT Swiss OPM OL 100mm with remote lockout. Using a ReMount to have the lockout lever where the front shifter would be.
Wheelset is from asiancyclexpress.com. Novatec 772 hubs laced to Kinlin lightweight alloy rims. Tubeless ready if need be.
Saddle is Selle Italia Flite.
Bottle cages: None! I use a Camelbak Circuit or Octane.

Nice Bike! I like the DT Fork  :D Do you know its weight?

Is the Goat Link really needed? I have seen bikes without it..

Nope, not needed at all. Shifted just fine without, can't say I notice any difference with.

I just built a Tallboy 3 for my wife with the same drivetrain. Brakes, rear derailleur, and shifter are XT M8000 but running the GX cassette. The shifting seems to be working great but thanks for the heads up on the Goatlink. I'll keep it on the list if it acts up.

Nice looking bike too!
