Ok got some details on it. They renamed it the s5 and it is available as pre-order only for now. It'll be ready by Feb/March. It looks like it a 100m travel frame with 67 degrees ha and 77 degrees sta. Weight for frame only is about 2kg. It'll fit 2 water bottles. December 24, 2020, 03:43:26 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build
Thanks Philipp. I have had the bike for a couple of months now and ride 2-4 times a week. I love it, its fantastic and I am a better rider with this bike than with my "old" Merida One-Twenty 800. I climb better, i descend better, I fell more safe and take on challenges I did not before. The "Akkebike" lettering is 343*40 mm. The dropper post is a problem, I first tried a 170 mm but it was to long so now I have a 125 mm dropper with a total length of 420 mm and that works well. https://www.bikester.se/red-cycling-products-remote-dropper-teleskop-sattelstutze-316-mm-M724376.html I have built 3 "Akkebikes" so now the whole family has one each. This is really fun so i am planning another build, the more Enduro-oriented LSFS 947. Best regards Stefan January 04, 2021, 01:50:59 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon LCFS937 Build
FYI guys, I was able to fit a 170mm PNW dropper post (https://www.pnwcomponents.com/collections/shop-all-droppers/products/loam-dropper-post) in my XL frame with plenty of clearance and slammed all the way down. This particular dropper can be shimmed all the way down to 150mm so it could work well for this frame in different sizes.

My OG-Evkin CF-052 (FM699) build w/ 60% AliExpress parts
Hey guys! I want to show you my OG-Evkin CF-052. Last year the idea of getting a MTB sparked up, living in an area with lots of nice woods. Checking the used bike market wasn't very satisfying, and neither were the <800€ new bike options. After seeing how cheap carbon hardtail frames are (especially compared to road bike frames) it was obvious to me that I had to build up a MTB myself. My choice was the OG-Evkin CF-052 frame, because it's quite popular in the german forums. The goal for the initial build was to keep it around 10kg and below 1000€. My excel spreadsheet came out at 10176g, but that was without the paint, pedals and some small stuff like the headset or cable outers. Measured on my bathroom scales the bike weighs 10.8kg now, with some very basic pedals. I also missed the financial goal. I had spend 997€ when I found out that the BB supplied with the crankset was BSA only, and not working with my BB92 frame. After a BB92 and some small parts I'm now at ~1015€.  Now to the specsheet Frame: OG-Evkin CF-052 in size L + OG-Evkin QR-02 axle Paint: Mini C15 Jungle Green with some extra gold pearls BB: Threaded ZTTO BB92 Fork: Rockshox Reba RL A6 110mm w/ Rockshox Maxle (used from Ebay) Wheelset: "Roval"? Non-Boost 2060g 21mm wide (used from Ebay) Front tire: Continental CrossKing 2.3 RS Rear tire: Continental Raceking 2.2 RS Tubes: Schwalbe SV 19A Extralight Stem: ZTTO 60mm 7° Handlebar: ZTTO XM 720mm Aluminium Grips: Procraft Diamond Pro Crankset: Fovno Ghost 175mm 36T Groupset: LTWOO AX12 Cassette: ZTTO 12speed 11-50 Chain: KMC X12 Seatpost: Elita One but it broke on the first ride (Picture), so I ordered a Toseek now, with a better seat clamp Saddle: SSM Aspide Superleggara AliExpress clone, but that broke on the second ride, probably damaged when the seatpost broke (Picture 2 3) Pedals: Some very basic Marwi Union cage pedals (I ordered some En-Lee platform pedals) Brakes: Shimano Deore BR-M6100 Brake discs: "Avid G3" 160mm from AliExpress Bottle cages: 16g Carbon ones from AliExpress      Short term upgrades will be a new seat post and pedals, which I've already ordered. I also need a new saddle, but I'm pretty unsure which one to get. And long term upgrades are: - Carbon wheelset - Going tubeless - Fully integrated carbon handlebar - And maybe a dropper post January 07, 2021, 05:27:51 AM |

Initial Impressions HTA measures about 66.5 degrees, about 75 for the STA Bottom bracket is low, about 3/4" lower than my Evil Following MB, not hitting my pedals much, but definitely aware Rides great, climbs like a mountain goat and feels about the same as the Following going down Very flickable and playful Really fun ride February 03, 2021, 02:52:34 PM |

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts
Was shipped on the 3rd and arrived at the 5th - impressive Job - THANKS Adam  Almost done by now - just some fidling with the cables and installing the shock bushings once they arrive ...  Never was thought to be a light weight so YES I am sure happy with the outcome - the rest will be done in the "shut up and ride" mode  March 07, 2021, 03:49:28 AM |
