29er / Help me choose my XC FS build!
« on: May 30, 2017, 05:07:20 AM »
About ready to push the button, but I can't really decide between the Dengfu M06 or the WCB-M-108 / LCFS902 / CS-821.

So i really need your help and advice :)

My goal is to build a fully capable XC racer as aggressive and light as possible. I'll be mounting it with my Rockshow SID XX 100mm from my old hardtail and I'm planning on getting the Monarch XX rear damper to go with it in the back.

What should I go fore? What are the pros and cons to take into consideration when choosing between the two models?

Racing XC in Denmark doesn't require 120mm of travel, so nothing to gnarly

I'm coming from a Workswell 062 hardtail in medium (17,5") with a LOT of flex in the rear - too much for my taste when really pushing it in corners etc., so would really perfer a firmer ride.

 I'm 5ft 9in (176cm) and weigh 160 punds (73 kg)

I'm 176cm and went with the 17" frame. Fits like a glove  ;)

Finally got my Workswell up and running.

Think I'm gonna call it "Black Mamba" or something like that. It's not quite finished yet. Still waiting for a carbon handlebar to finish up the build. And maybe I'll put another stem on the bike as well.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the build.

First of all I think I made a mistake in thinking I needed a semi-integrated headset, with cups that should be pressed into the frame. What I've now come to realise is, that this is properly a frame that needs integrated headset (I'm not that experienced when it comes to headsets!)

One the lower bearing that came with the headset it says ΓΈ52x7, and it seems as if it would fit the frame if I was to gently press it into the frame.

But the upper bearing doesn't seen to be a snug fit in the frame - actually is has a little bit of play when seated in the frame. The big problem though, is the alignment ring on top being to tall - lifting the top outer cap from fully enclosing the top part of the headset and making contact with the frame.

I've tried taking photos illustrating my problem.

I've got a problem with my build. The last parts for my build just arrived from Germany, and the headset I ordered KCKC KHS F13 https://www.bike-components.de/en/KCNC/KHS-F13-ZS44-28-6-ZS56-40-Steuersatz-p36388/ doesn't fit the frame. I thought it would being 1 1/8 to 1,5". I didn't get the original headset supplied with the frame, so does anyone know what I need to order for it to fit this frame and my new Rockshox SID XX Tapered?

Any help would be much appreciated  - feeling kind of bummed not being able to put it together tonight as planned :-[

I placed my order tuesday last week. The package shipped from China thursday. Got a message monday, that it had arrived at danish customs. No I'm waiting for it to clear customs. If it hadnt been upheld in customs I could have had it tuesday. So quick shipping to europe - at least this time :)

Just pulled the trigger on the 062 this tuesday. Got a mail this morning that is has shipped. Will be building it with Rock Shox SID XX and transfer most of my parts from my current Boardman Alu 29er to this 062.  8)
