Re: Welcome to Chinertown - Introduce Yourself!
I'm Andreas, 29, from Germany. I bought myself a 2-speed SRAM Automatix "Singlespeed" 4 years or so ago, which unfortunately was stolen last year. This spring I got a mid 90s Batavus Carbon Composite Roadbike in a swap deal, which brought me more into serious cycling. But the urge for an upgrade came up, and so I came across chinese carbon. And now I'm building a Dengfu R12 Roadbike and an OG-Evkin CF-052 Hardtail. December 05, 2020, 06:56:22 AM |

Re: Chinese Carbon 29er Pic Thread.
Nooo, it's only 60% AliExpress  But yeah, will do that! The shifting needs some work, after my ride today I noticed that the shift cable was loose, which might also be the cause why my bike mechanic friend who helped me setting the bike up said that it was a PITA to adjust. The spindle is 24mm, and the BB is a ZTTO BB92. I use my Sony a7ii, with a Samyang 35 1.4

Re: Building a 29er "Gravel" Bike
No, I didn't space the drive side out. The clearance is about 2mm.

My OG-Evkin CF-052 (FM699) build w/ 60% AliExpress parts
Hey guys! I want to show you my OG-Evkin CF-052. Last year the idea of getting a MTB sparked up, living in an area with lots of nice woods. Checking the used bike market wasn't very satisfying, and neither were the <800€ new bike options. After seeing how cheap carbon hardtail frames are (especially compared to road bike frames) it was obvious to me that I had to build up a MTB myself. My choice was the OG-Evkin CF-052 frame, because it's quite popular in the german forums. The goal for the initial build was to keep it around 10kg and below 1000€. My excel spreadsheet came out at 10176g, but that was without the paint, pedals and some small stuff like the headset or cable outers. Measured on my bathroom scales the bike weighs 10.8kg now, with some very basic pedals. I also missed the financial goal. I had spend 997€ when I found out that the BB supplied with the crankset was BSA only, and not working with my BB92 frame. After a BB92 and some small parts I'm now at ~1015€.  Now to the specsheet Frame: OG-Evkin CF-052 in size L + OG-Evkin QR-02 axle Paint: Mini C15 Jungle Green with some extra gold pearls BB: Threaded ZTTO BB92 Fork: Rockshox Reba RL A6 110mm w/ Rockshox Maxle (used from Ebay) Wheelset: "Roval"? Non-Boost 2060g 21mm wide (used from Ebay) Front tire: Continental CrossKing 2.3 RS Rear tire: Continental Raceking 2.2 RS Tubes: Schwalbe SV 19A Extralight Stem: ZTTO 60mm 7° Handlebar: ZTTO XM 720mm Aluminium Grips: Procraft Diamond Pro Crankset: Fovno Ghost 175mm 36T Groupset: LTWOO AX12 Cassette: ZTTO 12speed 11-50 Chain: KMC X12 Seatpost: Elita One but it broke on the first ride (Picture), so I ordered a Toseek now, with a better seat clamp Saddle: SSM Aspide Superleggara AliExpress clone, but that broke on the second ride, probably damaged when the seatpost broke (Picture 2 3) Pedals: Some very basic Marwi Union cage pedals (I ordered some En-Lee platform pedals) Brakes: Shimano Deore BR-M6100 Brake discs: "Avid G3" 160mm from AliExpress Bottle cages: 16g Carbon ones from AliExpress   Short term upgrades will be a new seat post and pedals, which I've already ordered. I also need a new saddle, but I'm pretty unsure which one to get. And long term upgrades are: - Carbon wheelset - Going tubeless - Fully integrated carbon handlebar - And maybe a dropper post January 07, 2021, 05:27:51 AM |

Re: Fovno Crank sets
Nope, didn't try anything else. Aaaaand I broke the crank bolt today. But not the one on the drive side which I couldn't torque down properly. The one on the other side, which says "This Place do not disassemble". I didn't touch that bolt before.  While riding I felt that the left crank arm came loose, so I stopped and retightened the bolt, which was tightish again, but the crank was still a bit loose. Took me two more tries until I realised that I had to push my bike home.  The thread in the axle is luckily fine. I'll double check after work, but it seems to be a M14x1 thread. I found some crank bolts on Ebay from France which will probably work. M15 seems to be a lot easier to find.
