Klaster_1's Dengfu M06 build
This is my first 29er and full suspension bike, before that I was riding a meager Merida Matts TFS-100 2011. Not the first chinese frame, though. Build list. Main goal was to reuse most of components from Merida for now and upgrade some parts later. I also wanted to try wider internal rims and not to save any money on wheels, since these are pain in the ass to rebuild (can't reuse spokes or rims, low local resale chance). The target weight is sub 10kg, which I failed to achieve It will take awhile to complete the build, some parts are still en route or not shipped/ordered. I'd especially appreciate your help with shock bushings. So, the frame. The price was 660USD for frame, 15USD for headset and 185USD for shipment/fees. 845USD in total. Some notes:
And a bit about wheels: Considering I'm not that heavy at about 65kg and no rough trails, I hope 28 spokes will be more than enough. The rims are interesting, Carbonfan Bicycle lists these as designed for AM use. I've contacted them about making a pair at lower range of claimed 400±15g, which they agreed to. Both rims turned out at ~375g. Complete wheelset weights 1280g. With narrower rims you could easily do a sub-1200g combo. February 15, 2017, 08:42:43 AM |

Re: lcfs911 full sus
Chainstays are 8mm longer than the ScottThe newsletter about bike show did mention 21" version, but actual web site does not. Maybe they'll make it available later. Never hurts to ask directly. September 09, 2017, 07:52:46 AM |
