Like others have said, i also do not trust the bottom bracket threads.  Mine have dislodged on both sides.

what has your solution been? Personally, I’ve been waiting about seven months for them to be able to produce me my replacement with the correct paint. It’s been pretty crazy. AWST Cycling Tactics, AKA All Star Bicycle…

As most of you know, the 11.11 sale is one of the biggest of the year. Vendors also have a history of increasing prices in advance - just like US retailers for Black Friday. What is in your cart waiting on the sale?

I have a set of NGEbut hubs (i9 hydra clones) that show as $158 today with a price drop to $136 on Nov 1st. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806584091583.html Now to see if it drops even more.

Love the look of those. How did you like those hubs? What kind of build and what terrain do you ride it on?

The rear shock linkage, where it connects to the rear triangle in two places, has bushings in it with poly flanges.  However, I've noticed the way they sit against the CF frame causes significant resistance unless you run the bolts so loose that there is play and they risk backing out.  Not great for small bump compliance at the recommended torque spec.  The backing out of screws is easily fixed with red loctite, but you are still fighting the battle of play in the linkage vs too much resistance on the bushings.  Seems a relatively straightforward okayish fix with some greased M8x16 shims, but definitely an oversight on the design.

Will follow up with pics and my solution in a few days if I'm happy with the shims.

Also for those who said 2.5mm shim under the headset cap, I've 3d printed a few at different thicknesses and found 3.5mm to be a better fit.  At 2.5mm, it crushes the rubber gasket in the headset cap a little more than necessary for sealing.

Also, my recently purchased frame has a rubber gasket for the brake/RD lines at the bottom bracket/lower rear triangle junction, so it seems they are still improving things.  I do wish the seatpost could be inserted further, but given the role of the frame I can live with it.

They still don't have a gasket for where the Brake/RD cables enter near the headtube, but I'll probably print a solution for that too once my roll of TPU filament arrives.

This part you are wishing for… it can be bought from most
bike shops. It is the MY21 Epic headtube port grommet. I added it to mine!

How did the shims work out for you? I haven’t noticed this issue with my build, as the small bump compliance is pretty good. But would def add them when i build it up with the new front triangle.

Update on my second warranty front triangle:

The second triangle lasted less than 300 kilometers before the left side bottom bracket insert loosened on the 6th of December.

Airwolf told me that the frame was on painting on the 16th of December.

I have asked a few times after that if the frame is ready for shipping, but haven´t got an answer.

Do other frame sellers have quicker service times and better customer service?

I’m surprised you had a second failure with the EPS version. I am still waiting for the triangle to be molded. It’s been about 3 months. They are apparently waiting on something. I bought from AWST aka, All Star Bicycle

They are all produced in the same place and are no different from each other.

How do you know of this?

Guys, have you seen a new iteration of G068 frame? Namely G069. It seems to have different fork:

I covered this earlier in the thread. New fork was being tested, and is now ready. But if you still want clearance, go with the flip chip one.

still waiting for mine to be shipped out from all star bicycle. I ordered 15 days ago, he is saying now there is a delay because they are making updates to the frame... hoping its a good update

Do you have their contact info? Whatsapp even? I can’t find their contact info for warranty claim.

i used 200x51 shock ... it is working well because use more sag to balance the bb is more height on static bike, but in the ride the bb height is near the original

Can you share a picture?
