29er / IP-036 Build
« on: May 13, 2015, 11:15:39 PM »
Just completed my ip-036.. picked it up from peter's new company..

It went together no harder than my 057 .. except for the shock bushings.. with all the options out there i decided to use RWS in the back and made my own out of delrin in the front.

Anyways..

XT group set 2x10
Thomson stem/seatpost/seatpost collar
RockShox SID RCT3 120mm
Fox CTD shock
eggbeaters
RARAs
my old beat up seat
Carbon handlebar that i got from Carbon_Dude awhile ago
ESI extra chunky grips

Wheels:
HR930C (from peter also)
DT Swiss 350 straight pull hubs 15mm axle front .. 142x12 rear
Sapim cx-ray spokes
alu nipples w/washers (used prematex copper antisize on the threads)

FYI you need a E2 type front derailuer.
I did find the rear suspension to be very fluid and no binding. I did make sure there was a bit of grease on the pivot points and threadlocked the bolts down..

Have not ridden it yet.. other than around the sub... Might go tomorrow..

I did not weight it but i am guessing about high 25lbs..

+1 on the Thomson seat clamp..


I have one one my 057 and it works great. Note I got the 34.9 size.

Note the torque on the bolt.. It is not as much torque as you would think to apply..  (2.8nm)

29er / looking to get a 036 full suspension
« on: April 16, 2015, 03:45:47 PM »
I have a 057 19" frame.. would a 036 19" be the correct frame?

Also what kind of shimano front derailuer would that need?

thx

« on: April 09, 2015, 10:27:20 PM »
I have a set of bikehubstore hubs which look alot like bitex hubs.. after a half a season on mine they are showing quite a bit of wear on them.

I think my next set is going to be dt swiss 350.

This is what i use for hub oil..

I like racing ralphs for michigan soil.. had a set of sb8. I liked them at first but after awhile they got too squirrelly.  Last fall I got a set of bontrager xr2 only one ride one them but they seem to be really nice..

Give me a holla after the trails if u want to give either one of those a try..  could meet ya at pontiac lake.. poto.. island lake highland or brighton rec..

I had the same issue with my airborne..

The wheelsmfg were of similar hardness as a brand name bike..

Remember it has to bend before the frame does.

I have chinese carbon bike and I ordered a bb30 but decided later to go bsa by using a adaptor
9 months later and it has not made a noise..  note I did use that sleave "glue"

I have never used the KMC one.. They say it is reusable but the SRAM says noooo.. (i have reused a SRAM with no issues)..


I like the link option... i like to clean the chain off the bike.
