29er / What's Up with my Carbon Fork
« on: March 31, 2015, 07:56:57 PM »
Hi all,

so my newly arrived XMI 29er fork has a small blemish in the region where the bearing sits. See:



It looks like it is maybe a bit or carbon sitting on the aluminium that I need to scrape off, but then I wonder if the aluminium has been turned after production and it has been cut thru to reveal carbon underneath?  Not knowing how these are made, it is a little hard to say.

Anyone seen this before and can shed some light?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Carbon Dude.

When threading the brake line, how does the already installed plastic line (with the tape at each end to stop it falling out) assist?  Do I join these two lines together?

And do I need to drill out any holes, or should the brake line fit through the holes provided?

Thanks again.

29er / XMIPLAY IP-057 Cable Routing
« on: March 31, 2015, 09:48:27 AM »
Hi everyone.

New member here, have just received my IP-057 from Jason at XMIPLAY, so far it looks pretty good.  But I have some questions regarding the cable routing as no details came with the bike.

For the rear dérailleur, I note a thin liner already installed in the frame.  And this liner fits the Shimano cables I will use nicely.  So here I guess I just add some outer cable sheath on the portion of liner outside the frame, and trim the liner so that really stops just a bit short of where it comes out the frame.  Does this sound right?

For the rear brake I really have no idea what should happen here.  The already installed liner here is thicker than for the dérailleur, but what do I do with it? I presume it has to come out and be replaced with the brake hose? Do we tape the two together and pull through?  Will the brake hose fit into the openings in the frame?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tim
