Thanks for your comments. I hope it is so like you said. I´ll write here how it was.

My first priority is that it is not to expensive. Second is good mechanical parts and than lightness. So with complete XT M8000 I have a good compromise of everything.
When I have time I´ll will weight all parts separately.
I´ll ride with 2x setup. When the uphill is long and steep I need a good transmission. Last month I was in Italy and had proplems with uphills (700hm at 5km).
But befor I can ride with 2x setup I need a derailleur which fits on my frame. (I think with high clamp, what do you think?)

The frame is at the airport and now I have to pay tax and than I will get my frame.

The first parts are at home and I´m waiting for the frame.
Complete new XT M8000 with just 2867g for all mechanical and hydraulical parts.




And here is my first question:
How can I get the brake tubes inside the frame? The screw from the caliper off and than inside? So in this case I have to refill the fluid. I think there is no other chance or what can I do?

I ordered handle bar, seat post

I buy a lot of things from aliexpress.
But based on the recent post about a bar failure, I would stay away of forks, seatpost, stem and bars from aliexpress.
Unless it is a very good seller, with long term feedback not the usual "I just bought it, and it looks good" kind of comments.

You´re right, the best is, when there are a lot of "good" comments. When the parts are at my place I will take pictures and test everything extremly. Hope, there is no suprise and I will have fun ;)

I had a good conversation with the dealer, where I bought the frame and fork. So, I´ll let you all know when everything is perfect and of course if not. ;)

EDIT: and just at this moment I got a message from the dealer, that the papers are ready and the frameset will be shipped. Best information service.

I´ll use this thread and show you the process of the bike build.
When I have questions, I´ll ask you and hope you can help me.

I ordered handle bar, seat post, and grips also at aliexpress.

I´m thinking about a complet m8000 group and a wheel set under 1500g.

So I hope the weight is under 10kg

That´s the 29er with 43,3cm seat tube I rode on my favorite trails and it was a good ride.
So that´s the reason why I decided to buy a 17" and a short stem. Compared to the my other Cannondale it looks "better". What do you think?

So, I ordered a 17" frame and hope everything will be good.
I'll use this thread when I have other questions and show you pictures during building the bike.

You´re right, the most calculator said 17". But in the most calculator you can only put in your innerleg and not the complete body size.
And when I take a 17" I´m afraid that the seat post is just a little bit outside...and i´m stretched on the bike

Hello,
I´m new here and hope you can help me.

I was looking for a frame with appr. 1000g and found a good dealer on aliexpress.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-carbon-mountain-bike-frame-29-China-Axle-142x12-or-135x9-29er-PF30-UD-matte-mountain/32598237061.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.261.G1TB6A

The first contact was no problem, but now I have the probelm wich size I should take.

At the moment I have a Cannondale F29 and the frame is small.


The seat tube is 390mm. It is very comfi to ride, but it looks strange.
Do you think, it is the best choise to take a frame with 400mm seat tube (580mm top tube) or with 429,5mm seat tube (598mm top tube).
I think, with 598mm top tube it would be uncomfi and hard for my back. My back is hurting, when I ride long distance.
I´m 168cm and innerleg is 79cm.

A member here in the forum is 171cm and 80cm innerleg and he is riding a 17"


Maybe I should buy a 17" and than a short steem, or smaller frame and normal steem.
Hard to choose.
