Re: Epic Evo Clone
Was able to build it today. Bushing provided did not suit for my rockshox shock. So I have to trim down my existing DU 20 bushings.. A lot of work with rasp and some with ange grinder. And it was ready to go. Done 1hr ride today. No creaks, sounds, ets. Very quiet ride and bike is very responsive. I like it. July 04, 2023, 01:17:24 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
Very nice! I just made the purchase myself, from AWST. Size Large for a 6 ft rider. 745 USD. Did you do any disassembly or servicing of the moving parts? I might check and grease the bearings when it arrives. I've just disassembled links to see the bearings, they were smooth. So I just put everthing back and gone for a ride. Wonder what kind of bushings AWST provide with its frame... I might check and grease the bearings when it arrives. I see no reason doing so. I will just replace bearing when these worn out. you need to ride at least 2000 km and 20,000 m uphill ... Do I have a deadline for this? July 05, 2023, 03:43:55 AM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
This is how mine hand-mande adjusted bushings looks like. I have to buy\order precice machined...could not find correct sizes online yet. Linkage and frame do use 8mm bolt.

Re: Epic Evo Clone
Is there a difference in stiffness between hardtail and full suspension frames when pedaling? does the full suspension have the same soft frame in the bottom bracket as the hardtail? This full sus frame seems to have more stiffness in BB, but I cant measure it. So it could be false feelings. That hardtail epic HT feels very plush in BB, that is for sure..plushiest of any hardtails I've had before. Of course it is MUCH EASIER to peadal on rough roads when you on a full sus bike. Full sus bike goes faster on rough terrain, no doubt. And you not only go faster, you are less fatigued at the end... What cassette range and chain are those? How do you like the shifting performance? The cassete is ZTTO ULT 10-50, chain is SUMC SX12 (works the same wtih YBN chains). This combo works perfect wtih XT derauller\shifter, but you have to be carefull: chain length have to be correct...too short chain makes shifting dramatically worse on lower gears. The manager i’ve communicated with recommends a 190x45mm shock! Slightly more travel.For my style of riding I dont need more than that I have now. I could only hit it about 60% mark on my local descends. There will be a XCM at the end of the July, it will feature some high speed technical rocky descends. Will test it there. In SIDLuxe shock you can remove a travel spacer to make it 45mm of travel. July 12, 2023, 01:14:00 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
do you think a 200x51 will fit?EVO link only accepts 190mm eylet to eylet length. So it will not fit. July 12, 2023, 01:29:22 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
compared to carbonda fm 936 epic hardtail from sp-cycle soft as macaroni... My previous hardtail was 2015 epic copy from Workswell. And it had very stiff BB. SP-Cycle epic is very soft, so true. no offtopic: photo evo clone form another side
