Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread Well, my frameset turned up today. First signs weren't encouraging...



However, it had been packaged well inside the box and there doesn't appear to be any damage

I'm happy with the colour (Red Crystal)





The caliper mounts have been painted on the mounting faces so I'll need to sort that but the BB shell is within tolerance and round.

These are the weights...

Frame - Size 54, painted with derailleur mounts and bottle cage bolts 1120g
Fork, uncut 440g
Seatpost assembly 179g
Integrated bars - 400 wide 120mm stem 414g

I'm waiting for a few more bits but I'll post updates in due course.

Re: Eddie's Airwolf YFR066 Build Thread I'm about 10 rides in to owning the frame, figured it makes sense to have an update. I did have one issue with the front derailleur mount bolts getting stripped after tightening them up. Was attempting to get to 5nm and they stripped at around 3nm, which seems really low. When it gets loose next, I'll extract them and replace them with better quality bolts. Not a big deal.

That being said, riding this bike has been excellent. I am happy with the stiffness and agility of the frame and the integrated handlebars.


As Eddie did, here is my build including all the tools I bought to assemble it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kxmcrzbgUrXaXckA3jgbMvaOweVeR3Iw0n9Df3uwnoA/edit?usp=sharing

I think I'm getting to a similar point to you as well--the weather has gotten a bit nicer here and I've been able to take it out on more rides. With all the assembly woes behind me, the bike is growing on me. It feels fast, I am glad I went with the 165mm crank arms, 30mm tubeless wheels, etc.

I'm more confident with the bike in general, but I haven't had a big "hit" yet on a pothole to be confident that the handlebars won't slip or break, I'll probably put some carbon paste there just to be sure they don't rotate.
