I saw this guy riding in Nové Město at the UCI World Cup in the U23, Lars Forster. Great guy! Nice he won his race on a chiner!

« on: June 10, 2015, 03:03:24 AM »Is it wise to not send the frame back? Its not going to heal on its own.Maybe it's wise. But it looks like the bike is holding very well and when I had painted the bike, I didn't even know this was there. And with some nice and heavy trips on the way, it's a good way to test the bike further. And I don't want to miss these because of the absence of my bike.
If they are willing to take back and send you a new frame...I would jump on that and not wait to see if your frame is going to get worse.

I'm a little bit late with my update, but I got a fast response from Bert after my reminder:
"Hi, dear Mr Johan.
Wish you are fine!
So sorry the late reply!
Yep, I totally understand you now, the wihte one is the polystyrene foam glue which we stick the carbon fiber.
If do the XC riding, it is not bad, but if you worry about the frame, do you mind send it back to me? I think I can replace a new one for you . what size and BB? 142?
Our Iplay and me Bert is honest company and honest guy, please dnot worry about it, we want to supply the best service for you ! thanks in advance!
Best regards!"
So, it's probably a small crack only in the first carbon layer and, like Bert described, some glue (between the layers) is coming through.
I think it's not a big deal. So, I decided to not send my frame back, but I'll keep an eye on it. When I'm cleaning my bike, I always examine my frame with attention. If it's getting bigger, I'll get back to it.For now, keep pedaling

Had a creak in my bike last week. Got a little bit grumpy, because I couldn't find the cause. Till this afternoon. I gave the SPD pedals a little service (= using WD40). During the ride this afternoon the bike was completely silent. I'm very happy again.
It was very hot today (34°C, 93°F) and I took the time to make some pictures of these happy moments

« on: June 02, 2015, 11:34:11 PM »Any update on this? You going to fix it or get it replaced?I sent Bert an email with a description and a link to some pictures. Got a response with 24 hours. "How are you? Hope you doing well. Please send some pictures". Sent the same day the pictures again and asked him if I should be worried and asked for advise. That was six days ago. Just sent him a reminder ... I think he's very busy.

I used also carbon paste, but it started creaking. Now I'm using a old inner tube: http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,306.msg5432.html#msg5432

« on: May 28, 2015, 02:46:52 AM »Am I the only one who is more concerned by the white fluid coming out of the frame then by the crack itself? This doesn't sound right to me. I have already cut carbon tubes and it's plain hard, no softness or liquid swelling out of the material.You're not the only one. I'm curious what this white 'fluid' is. I cannot image it's in the frame, but it's coming back every time when I wipe it away after a couple of days.

29er / Re: What do you think about these wheels without external spoke holes ?
« on: May 27, 2015, 08:38:38 AM »I can't imagine how to get them in. May be orient them with a magnet.I think it's really easy to get them in. Small (special) iron screw in the alu nipple. And then use a magnet. When it's in position, remove the small iron screw, put in the spoke. And then the next one.

29er / Small crack IP256SL
« on: May 27, 2015, 07:08:39 AM »
Last month I noticed a small crack in my frame (IP-256SL). It's really small and it looks like a scratch, but it isn't. After a while, there is some white fluid on the crack. It looks like it coming out of the crack. When I wipe it off, after some days it's back again.
At the moment I'm not worried about it, but should I ? And does anybody know what that white stuff is ?
Today, I sent an email to Bert of XMIplay to ask for advise. The frame is still in his warranty period and I hope not it will getting bigger after the warranty period of two years.
