Re: building wheel with straight pull hub: d411/412 spoke hole offset?
If I remember well, the offset was 0, hopefully you get a more reliable info. It is 3 cross. You may note I didn't actually cross the 3rd. As a test, since I tension them by ear, the sound was cleaner. And to see if it would impair the stability. Apparently not. March 04, 2021, 04:30:27 AM |

Re: building wheel with straight pull hub: d411/412 spoke hole offset?
... Maybe I'm getting cross-eyed from staring at this image for too long, but this looks like 2-cross to me: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32824613259.html ??I'll stop staring at it, as I see 2 cross too

Re: TanTan TT-X21 frame
They have a lot of local distributors. Several in Belgium, where I picked some of mine up ;-) (a few years ago)Thanks again. I didn't see it on their website. Good news, to motivate me to paint a next build. I'll ask my sister who's art teacher some advice

Re: Any Chinese alloy wheels comparable to Hunt Wheels?
Maybe the Mavic Allroad wheels? https://www.bike-components.de/en/Mavic/Allroad-Center-Lock-Disc-Wheelset-p66682/ April 11, 2021, 02:50:28 AM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Here is my bling build ! The weather isn't very nice here, so only two ~70km rides so far. But I loved every instant of them, a smile from one ear to the other, even once when I crashed it Not sure if it is the geometry, the full suspension, the seatpost or the electronic shifting in particular, but this has little in common with my past hardtail riding. It is a size M SL. OG-Evkin bar Ligthbicyle XC925 wheelset with DT-Swiss EXP 240. XX1 AXS derailleur + Blipbox + Multiclics SID Ultimate 120mm and SIDLuxe shock 42.5mm Piccola brakes Reverb AXS 2.35 tires. And 10,1kg The commands are, left click easier gear, right click harder gear. Click on both for the seatpost. I was hoping for a more greenish blue, than this reddish one, but I start to get used to it  I'm still testing different 3D printed mounts for the blips for different positions. For now the cables are taped below the bar, my plan was to make them go through the bar end and exit through one of the mount holes. But there was some sun, and I preferred to go ride than work more on it. Maybe later. April 12, 2021, 05:55:25 AM |

Softail titanium MTB 29/27.5+ (all mountain - bikepacking)
Hello, Who I am : Just over 30 yo MTB rider, 177cm tall, 65 kg, I live in the French Alps. I practiced XC, trial and dirt as a kid. I did practice pure enduro around 25 yo, but now I don't want to ride that hard anymore I mostly ride all mountain and bikepacking MTB trips. I want to climb hard, enjoy views/landscapes, have fun while downhill  Few weeks ago, I had a Specialized Enduro + Orbea Alma + NS Bikes Eccentric + road bike + pumptrack bike + a titanium custom hardtail MTB with Pinion gearbox (commute / travel). The project Sell all my bikes except the Pinion bike, and build a new all mountain / bikepacking MTB. I wanted :
I thought that a "down country" bike would be a solution. Carbonda FM936.  Then i changed my mind for a pure all mountain FM1001. Then I hesitated for a 160mm FS947. Then an AM831 (SC hightower like). Every of them have pros and cons and the cons won every time... Then I thought a custom titanium hartdail with 180mm front fork (based on Chromag Doctahawk), would probably be amazing. But still no rear travel... I finally make a decision and decided to order a custom softail titanium bike. Asked walty, xacd and titan products. Titan is the one I chose. Geometry Here is the geometry. 160mm fork, 80mm rear travel. Massive 505mm reach and 77° STA 63° HTA 430 chainstay (63° seems crazy but it is almost a hardtail, HTA should be around 64,5 once sagged). 20mm stem (integrated bar) Compatible max 29x2.5 and 27.5x3.0.  Parts Here is the detail bike check (almost everything is already at home) Goal : 11,5 kg maximum. Fingers crossed...  Frame pictures The frame just left the factory for shipping.     Next steps : wait, mount and test-ride

Forum name?
I'm new to the forum and have really enjoyed learning from everyone and seeing the builds that get posted. Something that stood out to me right away when I found it was the name. By now I've come accustomed to it and seems a bit more normal, something I'm not comfortable with. I realize it was more than likely not intended to be offensive to people of Asian/Chinese background and everyone that I've come across has been really respectful, but I wonder if it's time to change the name to something else?

Re: Forum name?
For what it's worth, I live in South-East Asia and of Chinese descend. I was never offended by the name ChinerTown. And having been a member in this forum for several years now, I've seen a number of Chinese (both cyclists/enthusiasts and vendors/suppliers) joining this group but it is only now that I see someone considered the forum name as offensive for being racists. Thanks for your feedback. As mentioned before I came from a place of asking and not accusing. It seems like having these types of conversations online, which in many cases is needed as we don't question enough (but I agree there are limits), seem to not be welcome as two of the responses so far have been basically you're wrong get out of here. What in itself does that say about those responding like this? I'm not sure. It appears I offended some while asking if something is offensive, which is in itself ironic haha.
