LilDude, welcome to Chinertown.

Nothing special on that website, nothing that Peter at xmcarbonspeed.com would not be able to sell you with better service.

That's right. That's propbably why they are cheaper. 041 @ $508 vs $550

29er / Frame specs for 29er hardtails
« on: January 22, 2016, 06:01:08 AM »
Hi,
I'm looking for a chiner frame that meets my needs best. Therefore I did some research about frames on the market. Now I'd like to share the information I found and hope it will be some help for you. The frames I was looking for are mostly of the lighter type. That's why popular frames like the 057 are missing on my list.
The listed frames are 19".

seat post is Hylix from eBay around 50€, trimed to 300mm (120gr), seat clamp carbonice from r2 around 35€ (5gr.)

ill test the seat post tomorrow, let hope for the better, it flexes a lot though

The weight/price is really tempting. How does it ride with the 041?

DI2. That makes sense. But there should be also an inlet for the electric cable, right? Couldn't I use the inlet for a side swing cable and drill a hole at the right place as outlet?

Btw. has anyone experience with a side swing? Is it really that much better than classic derailleurs?

Any news one the 041? How does it ride and how comfortable is it?
I'm considering to give it a shot, although there are a few other nice frames around like the CS-MB01 or WCB-M-062 which are considerably less expensive. But every frame has its weak point. So it hard to decide. I would like to use a side swing front derailleur since it's supposed to be superior to the classic ones. Unfortunately few frames are designed for side swing. The 041 has a hole close to the BB as TedS123 has shown in post #48. What is it for? For a side swing opening it seems too close to the seat stay. Maybe someone of you has the answer...
