light carbon LCFS919 "budget" build
LCFS919 medium frame matte black
SLX brakeset and rotors
29er light carbon wheelset
29x2.35 barzo TLR front, 29x2.25 mezcal TLR rear tubeless
Spank 35mm stem
Wren 740mm carbon handlebars
Chinese carbon saddle
Chinese EXA dropper post
SROAD 11-42t cassette
YBN chain 11sp
Horizon Pedals
Chinese 165mm cranks
120mm Sid Ultimate race day Fork
Mara Manitou Inline Shock 120mm

All about ~11kg. I am happy with the result, probably could go lighter but considering what I spent its a good compromise.

« on: March 14, 2024, 05:37:58 AM »There is a good thread on the 918. I have the UDH version and so far I love it. I wish it did not have the cables through the head tube as that is a pain in the butt and serves no real purpose or provides no benefit. But it is what it is. I am tempted to just make my own holes in the frame. Other than that it is great. I have built up 4 frames and all of them are running great.
I have to say this has been one of the major pains as well, as I am building my 919.

Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Re: Installing bottom bracket internal routing guide
« on: March 06, 2024, 05:45:05 PM »There are many models of these.
And generally they are a pain if removed.
I would unscrew it almost to the end to have the maximum freedom of movement
Put the inner part inside.
And pull it to force the inner part to wrap the hose, and make contact to the tube, and screw.
When nothing work, disassembling the BB to have access is generally the only option.
Surgical pliers you can lock on is my life saving tool in general for this.
Eventually managed to get it in, like you suggested, unscrew to the max as possible but remain connected. One of my hoses was also too wide for the guide hole, so trimmed (burnt) the middle plastic section to allow more space. Even doing this, it was a huge PIA to get push it back into the BB.

Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Installing bottom bracket internal routing guide
« on: March 02, 2024, 12:59:23 PM »
How does one install this bottom bracket internal routing guide?
see attached pic. The top part sits inside the bottom bracket, and bottom part screws into it from the outside. If I insert the top part separately, its impossible to find the hole to screw it in as it moves around and gets lost in there. If I have both top and bottom joined its almost impossible to insert it in. I did manage to insert it in together once, but the other issue is the top part notches that holds the cables are extremely tight and it was preventing me to screw it in.
Any help is appreciated
