I have this on my CS-496 29+ bike. Using 29x3.0 Surly Dirt Wizards.

Carbon Speed have a very good reputation here. I have done several transactions with them. But Peter of Carbon Speed is currently on holiday break though, he won't be back 'til Feb. 15.

Here's what it looks like on my rig.

Thanks, looks amazing! Much better than the boxy fork I posted.

I'll shoot him an email, hopefully we can work something out for shipping because my country is not on the list.

29+ & 27+ / 29+ boost rigid forks with ~495-500mm A-C?

Hi!
I'm looking for a boost rigid fork that has clearance for 29x2.8 tyres, and a slightly longer axle to crown than the usual ~480mm. Something in the 495-500mm range would be perfect.

I found this style of fork on eBay and Ali:



The problem is, some are listed by no feedback sellers for suspiciously cheap, and some are listed by I guess reputable sellers but in the $170-200 range which is dangerously close or over the limit where I would need to pay MASSIVE import taxes. I need to stay under $170 (that includes shipping but it's usually free) but the cheaper the better. I don't want to stay just a hair under the limit in case they convert the currencies somewhat differently and I get screwed over because i'm over the limit by a cent or something...

It seems like this style of fork is somewhat newer? The market is full of Niner RDO clones that cost around a 100 bucks.

I'm just not sure where to look but i'm new to Chiner stuff, could you guys recommend some good brands that are maybe not on Ali or eBay?

29er / Re: cklein FM-M009 build

Hi!

cklein, could you please tell me what size tyres are you using, and how much clearance do you have at the back? What size chainrings are you using? Is the front derailleur a high clamp one?

Thanks.  :)

29er / Tideace FM-M009 info?

Hi!

New here.

I'm planning on building a fully rigid, budget/sensibly priced XC 29er in addition/instead of my current gravel bike. Since frame prices can be a bit ridiculous I was thinking about trying a Chiner frame for the first time. The Tideace FM-M009 seems pretty popular and looks good. I have a few questions about it.

First, tyre clearance. Would 2.35 XC tyres easily fit in the back, or is the limit more like 2.25? I'm planning 25mm ID rims.

I'm planning to re-visit 2x, and I was looking at the Deore M6000 2x10 groupset, it looks very very sweet for the price. I have zero clue about all the front derailleur standards out there, what kind of  front derailleur would I need? Could I somehow make a side swing FD work without dumb cable routing? It's hard to see, but I think Tideace uses a side swing on their complete bikes:


Will running an FD limit my tyre clearance?

I've never had an internally routed frame before, how is it routed exactly? Is it just regular full length outer routed inside the frame?

What is the chainring clearance like? Could I run a 36/26 or 38/28 double?

Any other frame recommendations? If I could get a frame and rigid fork in the $400 price range that would be awesome.

Thanks!  8)
