Re: Build Log - Carbonda hard tail for daughter's birthday.
I may have started the thread a bit too early - it's not as exciting talking about new toys when they still haven't left mainland China... BUT in other news, the forks arrived today - Rock Shox SID 110mm travel with remote lockout. $450AUD ($297.30USD). Now all I need - and any help would be appreciated: Drivetrain - 12 speed shimano preferred - any deals on Ali worth looking at? BB, Cranks, shifter, derailleur.. Seat post - Rigid to begin with, probably eventually move to a dropper post when she gets a bit taller. Seat post clamp? Saddle - something comfortable and light would be best! FM-160PM adapter for the back brake Stem and handlebar. And I think that would be everything! May 07, 2024, 12:42:12 AM |

Re: First gravel build project
So I ordered a GR048 from Tantan, let's hope my paint scheme doesn't turn out to be complete crap  I'm currently in the process of sourcing all the others parts for the build. For the BB I went with this one, I hope it's compatible and of good quality... https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005859085280.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.41.21ef5e5bAddqXH&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra For the crankset, I'd like to buy a 2nd hand GRX but it seems hard to find. Do you have any recommendation for some chinese crankset of decent quality ? Looking for gravel 1x 40T. Thanks May 08, 2024, 04:23:01 PM |

Re: Build Log - Carbonda hard tail for daughter's birthday.
This is the hard part - the waiting game! Wing has emailed to let me know the tracking will be available soon. I have a few other orders on their way from AliEx: Shimano Deore 12 speed drive train ZTTO Carbon Headset Washer Stem Spacers (not sure if needed, but one of those things that will be handy to keep in the spares bin) Toseek Handlebars Lexon 3d printed seat Toseek ST006 MTB Stem Lexon seat post clamp Elita One seat post Kocevlo Flat mount to post mount adapter.

Re: Build Log - Carbonda hard tail for daughter's birthday.
The wheels arrived today - I am stuck at work, but managed to un box them and weigh them only to box them back up so my daughter can unbox them after school  May 14, 2024, 10:37:04 PM |

Re: Build Log - Carbonda hard tail for daughter's birthday.
Good! Add some details, impression on the wheelset; thanks! I will update once on the bike and built up, but so far: They feel very light. Again, once I get some rubber, cassette and rotors on there, I will have more of a realistic understanding. Build quality so far seems nice, nice finish, hubs feel nice and have a good sound to them. Keep an eye on this thread for more to come

New High Pivot Full Suspension Carbon Frame!!!
Hi Guys, Anybody here are interested in high pivot full suspension frame? Yes or no What is your preference on travel option F/R? My personal preference is 150F/140R High Single Pivot or 4 bars Horst link suspension? I think 4 bar Horst link is more straight forward Let's put our opinions here, so manufacturers know what specification they should design for high pivot frame in near future.
