Cool! Thanks for sharing. You have an awesome collection. I'm looking into the vb-r-177. Looking to know how yours goes. Awesome video btw. December 13, 2021, 10:30:38 AM |

Re: My Dengfu R12 - First Impressions and Video
For some reason...the forum can't/won't load my YouTube URL. My apologies if this is against the rules. Thanks for sharing your videos! I think I might have watched your PRO Stealth review awhile back before pulling the trigger on a practically new PRO Stealth carbon on EBAY for $100. Definitely a learning curve with any bike build, but Chinese open mould frames are super special. I've also built up 3 separate frames since COVID, but I've rebuilt my Chinese frame at least three times, not including cable and hose changes which practically require a entire rebuild. Does get easier each time. The problem with disc brakes is that the routing issues make the brake bleeding much more complicated. What you think may be a bleeding problem is just a hose that's pinched somewhere because of all the 90 degree bends and choke points from the levers through the headt tube.

Re: My Dengfu R12 - First Impressions and Video
It's beautiful! I bet it's even better looking in person. Did you polish the clear coat? I'm debating whether or not to do that when I paint my frame. Part of me wants to, but the more pessimistic part says it will just get scratched up before long anyways when I ride offroad. December 15, 2021, 01:39:09 PM |

Finished bike looks super sick! I'm an R12 owner myself too. December 15, 2021, 02:18:13 PM |

Re: My Dengfu R12 - First Impressions and Video
I'm liking it a lot! I have no comparison to other "modern" bikes tho, so I'd be interested about your opinion comparing it to the other 3 chinese carbon frames. Still haven't got any good photos of it yet. December 15, 2021, 09:29:54 PM |

Re: My Dengfu R12 - First Impressions and Video
I'm building the 177 as I type this LoL. So far there are tangible differences between my Dengfu R12 and VeloBuild 177: Thank you for committing your time and money into showcasing these internet darling independent bike brands. I think we're headed to a new golden age in cycling where there is more transparency in bike technology and less dependence on bike retailers. December 20, 2021, 12:09:25 PM |
