I also like how he completly ignores the other pictures of production frames and nit picks the one picture of what clearly looks like a test frame.

and when you do all of that Aliexpress automatically checks the progress of the order and believes that the goods have been sent because a tracking number is provided and their automatic response is to be patient if it isn't there in the allotted time then you can open a dispute.  That's another 6 weeks away.

That's never happened for me. I had this same thing happen in the past with a torque wrench. I just opened a dispute and selected refund without return , seller accepted it and I got my refund.

Dont confirm the order received. Just click the open order, then click open dispute, and then refund only.

I purchased a standard eyelet damper to replace it but I may see if there is enough material to be able to remove ~7mm and fit the 30mm roller bearing in the stock link without compromising safety. 

It seems like it could work. Mine measured 28mm without the dust covers and it has a 1mm lip on the inside. So not too much more to shave off.

Although I'd did just get the new standard eyelet damper body in . Was trying to find a how-to or anything on how to swap it. Only found the sram service manual for the super deluxe but that's was for a full 200hr service. My shock is new so doesn't need service. do you know if I were to just replace the damper how much oil do I need to fill it with ?  I got some 7wt but was wondering if I could even just use what was in the "old" damper.

Question to all European/German buyers.
How long did it take from Eddy's tracking number mail til frame will be at my home door? Got the mail 9.9.
Service by DPD and my last CN frame (delivery by DPD) was simply dropped without notification, signature, door bell...

Did anyone get a RS Super Deluxe installed? Maybe with the RockShox Megneg Air Can? Did it fit the original link and frame tunnel? I received a new 210x55 SC Heckler version. Top 30x8 -->very nice, bottom 20x8--> new set FOX 22.86 required.

Anyone intending to do some link modding? Interested in a Cascade like modification?
Maybe Cascade can do a mod for us if there are some takers. As they CNC from an aluminum block a light modification of the original file should be possible, if not only for me.

Have a nice day.

I would be interested in a cascade link that would fit this frame. I also had the idea of asking them but thought there wouldn't be enough interest. So I thought maybe if we can get the dimensions of the cascade link we could ask whomever makes the stock link for tideace to make it

Damn. The hightower link looks much beefier. What do these things weigh?

Don't know. The tideace one is definitely lighter but that's back on the frame and the SC one is in a box to be sent back.

I also got the nomad 5 chainstay protector since they didn't have the hightower one in stock. It actually fits pretty well. The last bit just doesn't go completely around the chainstay but you can't really see that unless you look under the frame and it's still very tightly attached to the bike. I wonder if the actual hightower part might actually fit better still.

I've been trying to reply to say Eddie beat me to the punch and I've received the frame after all!  Any post with pictures doesn't seem to want to post however.


In anycase , hightower lower link does not fit. the 30mm mount on the link that could fit thr rockshox bearing eyelet is too wide to fit through the frame . Otherwise,  it seemed like an exact same match.

Edit- finally worked .

I should have had my frame today too but USPS delivered it to the wrong address! it even required a signature but that wasnt even enough to prevent an incorrect delivery.  i really hope they can recover it but seeing as i havent heard back from them and its already 7pm here, i fear the worst.

He said: "The motor you can use the Bafang M600 and battery can use the BTF03(perfect match), if you need large volume battery, also can install BTF04, but the battery will not perfect match."

If battery still fits without problems or hacks to be made on the frame, I would go for BTF04.  I am looking for M600 motor, but it is not easy to find. I am contacting suppliers through Alibaba. Aliexpress has no seller with M600 motor available.

Yea the BTF04 fits without modification of the frame. The batteries have a plastic cover that are supposed to sit flush with the cutout in the frame . I'm not sure what the cover for the BTF03 is like but you will have to trim the cover on the BTF04 with a sharp knife to have it sit perfectly flush. I would assume you're going g to have to do this for thr cover on either battery though

Try cne bikes and green pedal .links should be in this thread

Thanks for the update. John from lightcarbon advised me to buy a BFT03 battery, since it is a better fit with the frame. He said that bft04 fits but not perfectly.
Did he send you these pics to see the difference? I'm not sure what he's referring to. The fact that the BTF04 sticks out a bit or that you have to trim the cover to sit flush against the frame. The bigger battery was definitely worth it for us for the extra range. We actually ordered a second battery for even more range.

I'm building the same frame, and I'm actually choosing wheels and fork. Did you need an adapter for 180mm rotors? I see that most of mtb fors seems to be compatbile only with 160mm rotors. (I am a bit new to mtb and e-mtb buildings, I usually build road bikes)

I did not need adapters for 180mm rotors with the rockshox gold 35 fork.

About 40 GBP for the set plus they say you need their special tool, ouch!! Did you order 8x22 ?
The 8x30 is available on aliexpress for approx 5 USD, not the 8x22 or 8x22.8, still we don't know for sure which one we need of the two.
I also got notification of frame (size M) shipped.
Urrah!!!

Can you post a link to this $5 8x30 hardware on aliexpress?

i found this pic of the aluminum hightower that shows how they route the dropper cable. i was hoping it would be similar for this frame. oh and these 3m cable clips might work if theres nothing in there to hold the cable
