I will keep an eye on it and if it change anything I will contact them. Its 2 year warranty. And im going to race national enduro series with it.

First impression compared to my orbea rallon r5 after a little ride and jumpig. More poppy, its slack, original geo is with 571mm axel to crown. with fox 38 170 its 63.5 with 76.5 seattube. Floppy in slow pace. Buttery smood initially with good midstroke. Did some 40-50cm drops and there was no problem with bottoming out.

Update on my slipping plug. I cleaned everything with alcohol and torqued it to 10nm. It's not slipping anymore. Well in place

However, I am getting a clunking noise from the hamdlebar from when I ride. It clunks when I go over bumps or when I sprint and rock the bar a bit more. I have disassembled everything many times, torqued the top bolt many times and also torqued the stem bolts to recommended 5NM.

When I rétorque everything, the sound goes away but quickly comes back, like if something loosens up, but there is no play that I can feel in the headset.

I am running out of ideas of what can cause the clunking noise. Any idea is more than welcome. I am getting crazy with that sound when riding.

Any chance SPcycle will do a lightweight climbing frame with T47 bottom bracket and 32c tire clearance? I know there's the SP-053D, but I'd prefer not to go with a BB86 frameset. I have an older SP-027D which I'm quite happy with. Though I might be interested in getting a climbing frame in the near future.

I have an older SPCycle frame (SP-R05) with a BB86 BB.  I got a Wheels Manufacturing threaded BB and it's "almost" like having a T47 - practically no real difference. All the ease of use, but also replaceable if there's thread damage. BB86-OUT-24mm for 24mm, BB86-OUT-SRAM7 for SRAM

LTwoo hydraulic calipers are flat mount brakes that need to use their own adapters, regardless of appearance. It's LTwoo's way of getting around Shimano brake mount patents. Your best bet is to use either regular post or flat mount calipers with appropriate adapter. I believe ZRace provides IS adapters for either caliper style.

Got classical BB fail of glued in BSA caps... Frame from Airwolf. Lets see what will they say about this situation.
They said, that they will send me a new front triangle in June. Btw I glued this BSA cup back to frame with the epoxy(i dont have any other bike to ride atm) and it holds, but I wonder for how long  :D ;D

replacement bolt for the rear shock mount would be $25.

You can buy any bolt and cut it to the size you need. Its the 5 minutes of work. I've replaced mine already.

All bearings in this frame are easy to replace using hand-made press-tool. Did it without any problems. Installed MAXX series from FUSHI.

Here's I think where I am (I'm considering a size 54 in all of these frames)

Velobuild 268  more aggressive
Lightcarbon LCR 017  similar but slightly longer stack (7mm, so marginal)
TanTan X38  longest stack by 20mm over the Velobuild 268

I feel like any of these options above would be a great frame to move on from my Triban?

Upon further study I'm thinking:
Velobuild vb-r-268
sp-cycle sp-R065

Hi everyone,

I went back into the posts and saw that some people had managed to get a zero offset seatpost made for the 099. From memory, this one is exactly the same as the TT-X21. I'm looking for such a seatpost because the offset bothers me a lot on the TT-X21. Do you know if Velobuild still sells it? Anyone tried it on TT-X21 ?

Many thanks,
