Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
well, I'm still happy with my Riot purchase, but seem to be a bit unlucky by now...suspensions arrived on wednesday, put the RS Deluxe Ultimate onto the frame and found that Lexon Official Store sent me a wrong couple trunnion bolts! M8 instead of M10, so now I have a spare for rocker arm linkage bolts  They promptly shipped, meanwhile I've ordered a Vitus frame spare Other than that I found my bottom bracket a bit out of tolerance; was really hard to screw-on BB cups, so I stopped and take it to a friend's shop to file it. Never happened such a thing in 20 years By the way, I was able to "assemble" the bike and get an idea of what it will turn. December 17, 2021, 02:12:24 PM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
this was a silly mistake, wrong bolts, could happen! I went with a trunnion because is the only way if you want 120mm rear travel Sorry for yor fork, hope you'll sort it out soon December 18, 2021, 02:30:07 PM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
I've planned to use another brand BB cups, so started with them and found the problem as stated before, then tried Lexon one (that seem like Shimano basic line to me) but had the same result- Tomorrow I'll pick my frame at the shop and will know if/how my friend had to file down threads. Have you gone with the Charger upgrade on your Reba? I'll stick with Motion Control now and see how it work on my trails. December 20, 2021, 01:57:31 AM |

Re: Lexon "Riot 10"
Freeride1, Curious to know what drivetrain are you going with, 1x11 or 1x12? And what chainring size and cassette? I'll go with a thrusted GX 11V drivetrain; trigger and rear derailleur in red edition, just to match with frame decals, ZTTO 11/46 cassette, XMC SL chain, Fovno cnc crancks in anodized red and 34 T oval chainring This last one was sent to me in the wrong offset (6mm) so I'm stuck until a boost one (3mm) arrive...result is that while spinning it touch the chainstay  Frame update: BB thread issue solved! Now I have a Shimano XT BB cups in black, buttery smooth finally
