Re: Stumpjumper clone For those looking to add an aluminum rivet nut to their carbon frame...check out this video

Some tips about treating the rivet nut prior to install and using epoxy adhesive as an insulating layer to prevent galvanic corrosion between the aluminum and carbon.

Re: Stumpjumper clone Hi Bos...I think you are looking for the "effective seat angle" which wouldn't be 65 degrees.

If Mousey took a straight edge or a level and lined it up from the center of the bottom bracket to the seat mount...and then put his angle finder on that straight edge...you would get the effective seat angle.

Edit - seat would need to be at the normal riding position...not the slammed down dropper post position.

Re: Stumpjumper clone Just to update anyone who in interested...I did finally get the frame.  Took approx. 6 weeks from day of payment to delivery.  There was some drama with USPS at the end where the postman refused to deliver it to my home and wanted me to go sign for it at the post office.  The shipping carton was severely crushed and he did not want to take responsibility.  The post office would not allow me to open and inspect the contents before signing for the parcel.  This is their policy..."no inspections allowed until you sign".  Thankfully...the frame inside was not damaged.

Everything was included...Headset, QR Seatpost Clamp, Rear Derailleur, Chain Guide and Rear Axle.  The frame was pre-routed with the plastic lines to pull both the shifter cable and rear brake hose thru the inside of the frame.

Quality looks good...they are incorrectly listing the Bottom Bracket width at 63mm...it is 73mm.  There is one minor manufacturing flaw that I will have to resolve.  One of the bearing bores (seat stay inside non-drive side horstlink) is just a couple thousands too large...so the bearing wiggles a bit...it does not fall out.  I will try some carefully placed red Permatex thread lock to see if that solves the problem.  As far as a warranty claim goes...AWST Cycling Tatics is still not showing any available product on their AliExpress store...so it remains to be determined if they are no longer selling under that name.  I did some more digging and I think they may be AllStar Bicycle.  The other 11 bearings fit tight.  They ship the frame with metal shielded bearings...so I am swapping them for ones with rubber seals so I can clean an re-grease when needed. 

Frame Weight "M":
Frame (with just the Derailleur Hanger attached) = 1,920 grams
Chain Guide = 49 grams
Headset Bearings (excluding that metal expansion plug) = 76 grams
QR Seatpost Clamp = 59 grams
Rear Axle = 44 grams
Total = 2,148 grams 8)
