Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Any recommendations on changing stem length or bar width make the front end more stable? I'm reading conflicting things about stem length online, some sources say a shorter stem makes for quicker handling, some say it delivers more stable steering I've been riding for like two years on 760 riser handlebar with 35mm 0 degree stem. But after one race this season with pretty gnarly climbs on soft terrain I decided to try a classic xc setup. So I put -20 60mm stem with 720 handlebar with no rise and did some trail rides. Honestly at first it was a bit weird but then I realize bike became much more stable, weight balance between wheels became more even and of course climbing became a lot easier. The downsides are pretty obvious: bunny hops are harder to do, low speed drops are a bit trickier but manageble, shifter/dropper switch likes to contact with top tube. And no, it's still hard for me to do an overbars lol. May be I should put a bigger brakes on the front and bulk my finger:) Overall, I'm kinda happy with this setup. I'll definitely try it in a mountains but I still don't think it's a good idea but in the name of science you know. May be I'll put some -17 or so stem just for eliminate the possibility of shifter vs top tube battle.

Re: SP-Cycle M06 build thread
I got a painted frame! It was apparently a challenge to get what I wanted (clear with chamaeleon effect still showing the carbon through) so far communication as been really good with seller on official aliexpress store. It took more time than expected but I was clear from the start that I wasn’t in a rush. Can’t wait to have that box in front of me! January 06, 2024, 10:27:45 AM |

Re: SP-Cycle M06 build thread
And it just showed up, it’s a beauty, picture don’t do it justice! The paint is slightly clear and let the carbon show through. The finish seems good, I can see that BB and headset have been sanded/faced, inside it looks realy clean too. I will run endoscopic camera to check further. January 20, 2024, 05:51:29 PM |

Re: SP-M048
Another update from another store on aliexpress. FINTOWON BIKE this time with Winow frames. They have a similar to M030 (and M048) frame which is MF699. The guy told me that it was originally meant to be with a 52mm chain line and a max 36T chainring without magic.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
I failed the test.Just like they do when buying clothes: you just say how much you "saved" by buying in sales. March 27, 2024, 10:07:27 AM |

Re: XC Marathon Fully with... Drops? Advice?
I have briefly tested a fully mtb with a drop bar. For me the drop bar doesn't allow to use the full potential of the bike and i always felt frustrated not to have a flat bar for more control. I lost the fun of the gravel and the ability of the MTB... It wasn't a fun machine. If i was to build a suspended gravel, i will go with max 50mm travel, big rolling tyres and road/gravel geometry.

Re: XC Marathon Fully with... Drops? Advice?
I have ridden 420mm flared gravel bars but tbh i was more in aw of the comfort of the grx hoods… Have I got 2 resources for you. This is my contribution to this topic, but the post near the start from user Upcountry was what inspired my build. https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/drop-bar-mtb-geo/87495/167?u=kactusdog And then, read the essays on this written by Torsten Frank. See here: https://torstenfrank.wordpress.com/2023/03/26/dropbar-mtb-teil-1-warum-gravel-immer-mehr-zu-mtb-offroad-wird-und-welches-rad-ich-mir-dafur-gebaut-habe/ Let me know what you think! Here’s my build in progress. Size medium spcycle Epic clone running XPLR mechanical from my previous gravel bike, dub wide cranks with an AXS road 8 bolt 40t chainring (8mm offset). Flared bars, 40cm on the tops, 48mm in the drops. April 16, 2024, 11:22:56 PM |

Re: Spcycle 2023 New Travel 120mm Super Light 29er full suspension frame
Dear All The aluminum alloy rocker arm has been manufactured. We will start to send aluminum alloy rocker arms to customers for free next week. At the same time, we have also updated the mold for the carbon rocker arm. The new rocker arm will be thicker and stronger. Bset Regards David May 25, 2024, 02:53:31 AM |
