Component Deals & Selection / 1st time builder - frame checks
« on: November 12, 2023, 09:26:06 AM »
Just ordered my first frame, from SP cycle. I have been reading a lot of thread but thought maybe I could get some help in getting everything in one place for future rookies like me.
The topic is what to ask supplier to check/document with pics prior to shipping, what to check upon arrival.

Pre shipment checks, ask for picture of:
-head tube and bottom bracket mating surfaces, check for no paint and general smoothness
-rear caliper mating surfaces,  check for paint, flatteness of mounts

Upon receiving:
Record (pictures/video) condition of box on arrival, unboxing and inspection for supporting evidence when receiving the frame
Check above again
Check BB shell for roundness and accuracy to spec
Check headset cups for integrity (no cracks…)


Anything else? What are you experience guys do?

Have you tried the 15OT51 coupon?

On my side I couldnt get the 100 for 500 coupon to work even when I had 530$ in cart (before discount and shipping). I ended up using the 300 and 100 coupon totalling 75$ discount but also got an extra $16 from 4 for 20, so didnt miss out on much.

Any good deals on YBN chains?
I got mine on eBay a month or so ago, was cheaper than aliexpress by a bit. The link is in my build thread ;)

Got the M06 frame in L in the 11.11 sales, got a nice 88$ discount all in all, pretty pleased. also ordered a syncros fraser handlebar

Edit: first post now updated with the new links and prices. Now the wait starts for wheels and frame…

I saw their sale, but none of the ENT MTB wheels show MicroSpline as being available.  All I need/want right now in wheels is a rear boost/148, MS, carbon rimmed  (38 to 40 wide wheel.
Have you tried Leon at yuan an? He is running some special pricing too.

103
Same, savings will come from coupons.

Quick update, on the wheels. After many messages exchanged with Leao @Yuan an, pretty settles on a set on wheels with UD mat, M14 ratchet, wing20 spokes. That’s a really lightweight option, a bit more expensive that I was planning to spend (much higher specs) so waiting on 11.11 discount in frame to settle in that choice, budget permitting.
Leon has really been awesome to deal with, if the ordering and shipping is as painless, it will be a strong recommendation from me.

105
Yes, cart is filled with the few things I am still missing.
