29er / Where to buy upgraded pivots?
« on: February 07, 2016, 08:52:32 AM »
Currently have an IP-036 and I wanted to upgrade all of the pivots. Does anyone know where I can buy these parts?

I picked up my bike from the shop and they told me the spacer was on the wrong side of the bearing. They swapped it out and the play seems like it is almost gone but not 100% gone. The black bolt is now tight and does not spin. I plan on riding tomorrow.

« on: October 05, 2015, 10:01:04 PM »Sorry to restart and old thread but this is what I am noticing. There is play in the rear about 1mm. It is only detectable if you put the rear tire on the ground and grab it and move it side to side. If the bike is the air and you grab the tire and move it side to side. There is NO play.
Where and what pivot mount bushings did everyone get? I have RWC for the rear shock.
I'm glad that I found this thread because this is exactly what is happening with my bike but I'd say I have even more than 1mm of play in the rear end (the play is really bad when the bike is on the ground) I do not see where anyone posted the exact fix or what to do or buy to resolve it? Can someone let me know ASAP.
Thanks,
Gabby

Thanks for this.
Does anyone know if the bolt is supposed to spin and not tighten all of the way?

Move to a 1x11 setup.
Perhaps one day but the derailer is not the issue It's the linkage. There is a lot of play and it is making the ride feel horrible.

29er / IP-036 Linkage Problems
« on: September 29, 2015, 12:17:27 PM »
I’m having some problems with the linkage where the front derailer is. My mechanic has told me that everything on the bike is tightened down per the specifications but the back end is still very very loose.
And the one large black bolt just turns and never tightens? Is this normal?
What do you recommend me doing to fix this?

« on: May 03, 2015, 09:11:32 AM »For X-country/trail riding I wouldn't think you need to go much wider than 680-720mm on the bar, do you have trees where you ride? Some trails I ride here in Georgia have some narrow openings between trees that my 680mm bar is close rubbing as I ride through.
Do you plan on getting riser bars or flat bars? That would affect what stem angle you would choose. For my XC riding, I tend to like riser bars with a 0deg, 100mm stem. I am about your size and that fits me comfortably.
I know everyone is thinking wide bars and short stem, however, that is coming from Enduro/Downhill riding where people like to move their weight a bit more off the front wheel and steering that favors high speed stability. For X-Country, I tend to like a more even front/rear weight distribution and steering that favors tighter lines.
Wide bars do offer a bit more leverage for long climbs, something favored by the single speed crowd.
My bars have a 0 rise and a 9 degree back sweep. I can have them 720mm wide but I do not want to go any narrower.

« on: May 02, 2015, 10:57:00 PM »That's a tough question. It can be anywhere from 90 to 120mm. Maybe start at 100mm?
You can always buy some cheap stems to try out. When you find the "correct" length...then pick up a nice one.
Thanks, perhaps a bike fitting place would have all of the different sizes and angles. Or I was thinking of starting with 80mm or 90mm with a -6 angle. My bars will be at least 720mm wide, 0 rise and a 9 degree back sweep

« on: May 02, 2015, 10:30:50 PM »The width of your bars and length of your stem have to be chosen to suit each other. A recent trend is running really wide bars, say 720mm, and running it with a shorter stem of say 50mm. Whereas before the norm was more like 100mm stem and 650mm wide bars. But like VR6 said, for XC racing the norm is probably 100mm stems and then a bar to suit your reach. Just thought I'd point out there's a lot of room for customization in this area and it can have pretty big affects on the way your bike feels and handles, so it's worth considering all of your options.
Thanks for mentioning bar width. I do plan on going with at least 720mm.

Can anyone recommend stem length and angle for XC racing. Frame will be a 19 inch IP-036. I’m exactly 6 feet tall, my torso and legs and arms are all in proportion. I will be running flat bars with zero rise.

Probably a stupid question but when you pick a color for the frame to be painted do you still need to select the weave and finish? Ultimately I just want the frame to look painted and I do not want to see any weave. Hope this makes sense.
