Nice! Finally a non-black frame!
The BTLOS wheelset looks great. Good price for what it offers. Also weight ist nice! Why do you want M8100 hubs over DT350? I'd always go with DT. And when there is some money left, take 54T ratchet. Ones had the 240s but not worth the higher pricing. I can live with 40g more in the wheelset but save 200$.
What does BTLOS charge for no-tax-shipping?
Thanks. Standard shipping is free (seems so i think) and they write 'sample' and a low value so even if you do get charged VAT then it's not much. I wanted the m8100 because of the silent hub, plus they're actually cheaper than DT swiss whilst having a similar weight.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Yeah I'm going for the 44mm offset SID select too. Also, pretty cool feature with the SID is to change from 100 to 120 or visa versa it seems you only need a 40euro air shaft change.

I shipped with DHL, do you know if Carbonda will update me with the tracking number once they ship it? Thanks :)

Yes. They always provide the tracking number.
So you can frenetically follow it, instead of boring them every two days  ;)

A 120 fork could be reduced to 100 too?
Haha, I didn't message them at all - didn't see the point. Just payment!

I think so, just an air shaft change. It's certainly a good option because the 100mm fork is often much cheaper so you could get a new shaft and still be cheaper than the 120...

Re: Syncros Fraser iC SL / Scott Spark 900 handelbar 90$ instead of 399$

I just did the installation test to a laying around fork.
the seat is pretty snug, but with pushing and turning the bar at ones, you can travel it down the steerer. Applied 5Nm with no problem. At the beginning of tightening there was a short noise which could have been a cracking noise, but I think it was a setting noise of the round metal inserts had to align with the screws. No cracks or abnormality visible after deinstallation.
What I could see was the milled steerer hole is not 100% round, so you have areas where the steerer rubs and others where there seems to be a very minor gap. You can't see the gap so when bar in installed. I turned the steerer inside the handlebar a couple of times to produce some rubbing marks. I will grind these visible rubbing areas a little with 400 grid sandpaper to have a better alignment between handlebar and steerer. Maybe this will also be fixed by applying carbon paste.

Weighted one of the screws compared to a A2 I had laying around screw and what I can tell is, screws are steel and not titanium. Will contact the seller and ask to send me titanium screws or comopensate for them.

Pictures are following. Haven't found a method to upload more than six pictures with high resolution (>512K size).

Interesting! Why dont you upload them to google drive/ one drive/ imgur and share the folder they're in?

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Colt, I expect it's fine!

Frame shipped today! I wanted the same colour (glitter purple) as Zilcho but covering the whole frame. something was lost in translation so they've painted it half black and half glitter as zilcho!  @Zilcho - I'm really sorry mate!

I don't mind plus they'd already shipped it, so I'll not tell them anything, and not factor it into any feedback I post online. I'll put some skins on top of the black area so it won't look the same and Zilchos!


I started this build thinking I'd put a Rockshox gold 35, Shimano SLX, cheap alu rims but the budget has crept and now I'm going for SID 120mm and XT with BTLOS carbon 29mm internal rims. Thought to myself, if I'm going to race on it, might at wel buy the parts once rather than twice when I realise I need a bit more from the bike.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Frame Arrived! Shipped on saturday and arrived today with DHL - well packaged! Everything Perfect, but the little metal piece on the chainstay near the bottom bracket is missing. I'll have to find one somewhere.

Did anyone of you painted the UD carbon black in shiny clear coat? I wonmder if this looks good on a XC race bike or it should be better matt black
If you look, the top of my frame is a shiny black coat - I don't think it's clear coat, jut black. Looks amazing in my opinion.

I'm 180 cm long and today I'm riding a hard tail that I'm very happy with. Seat position and span feels great.
What are your recommendations? Should I go for M or L?
I'm a lanky (long and thin) and 185cm (6'1" for the America dwellers) and ordered the L. I'll let you know how it feels with a 60mm stem for me. Also depends on flexibility I'm in my mid 20s so flexy enough so it also depends if you'd like to be more streched out (L) or upright (M).
