29er / Re: Run derailleur housing through 56/57 frame?
« on: July 12, 2014, 05:05:24 PM »
I ran the bare cable through the liner that came with the frame and used Jagwire for the rest. Works perfectly with no cable noise during my rides. I read this in the past and wondered why people were drilling it out. You can also tape the Jagwire inner cable liner to the cable liner that came with the frame and push it through. It went through the frame pretty easily.

It came in at 22lbs on my bathroom scale and who knows how accurate that is. It is a Fisik tundra2 saddle which is really comfortable. It came with my cannondale scalpel3 so I decided to get one for my IP-057. Here is a breakdown of my build:

Medium 12X142 IP-057, 90mm stem, 680mm flat bar, seat post from Bert at Iplay.
Carbon wheelset from Yoeleo.com which included Circus Monkey lefty hub and rear Novatec hub.
Sram XO trail brakes
XX1 32t BB30 cranks
Sram pg1070 chain, 11-36 cassette.
Sram XO type 2 rear derailleur and XO shifters
Ergon Grips
Tubless Schwalbe racing ralphs EVO snakeskin (heavier but better sidewalls) with stan's sealer

I ordered my wheelset from Yoeleo's website. It took a month for delivery but the wheels are great. It came with the Circus Monkey lefty hub and Novatec rear hub. You can also order the lefty adapter/ conversion kit with steerer tube from Art's Cyclery. It was much cheaper than Project's website.

I took my newly built IP-057 out on the trail this morning and was blown away by how awesome the geometry is on this frame and how agile it was on the trail. It handled everything I threw at it. Mind blowing. I am a true chiner believer and so are my friends!

My hangers are 12X142 thru axle and the Novatec hub is the same. I guess my question is which one to purchase. I saw a while back thread on Mtbr regarding the specific axle that fits the hangers for the IP-057 but for the life of me I can't find it.

I do have the BB30 and was worried about the install; however, I've had no issues with the install whatsoever. It was a breeze. I did purchase the bottom bracket park tool which came with the sockets to press the bearings into the frame. I bought the XX1 cranks from ebay for $240. It was delivered in two days. The seller was bikesmiths. I then purchased the 32 chainring from Arts cyclery. Like I said it was a breez and this is my first build. Thanks for the positive comments on my IP-057. Will post more pics when it is completed.

Hi guys, I just received my carbon wheels from Yoeleo; however, it did not come with the axle. Do you guys recommend an axle to fit my IP-057 12X142 thru axle with Novatec D882SB rear hub? Sorry for the newbie question...

Thanks! I'm waiting on carbon wheels from Yoeleo, install chain, and some minor adjustments and my build will be complete. This is an awesome board. Few of my buddies were skeptical regarding these frames but they have since become believers. No more overpriced brand bikes for me!
