29er / Dengu m06 Build
« on: June 20, 2017, 02:22:27 PM »
Hi, my first post here. Been reading alot and getting alot of tips before choosing my frame to build on since I grown tired of my current hardtail with a long chainstay and a 70" headset angel throwing me OTB way to often when I go for the more aggressive trails. Its a rocket on the easy flats but my riding style is mixed mostly XC, trails, Adventure Racing and MTB-O. For gravel and easy riding im always on my CX-bike.

Placed my order today on a 21" m06 after tossing lots of questions to Kelsey from Dengfu. The plan is to reuse all the stuff from my current hardtail (Cube ELITE SUPER HPC SLT 29 2014) and complete with a manitou macleod damper and some other stuff needed.

This is my first FS MTB build, only built a CX bike before. Will update this post as the build goes along, the goal is to build a fun FS bike hopefully under 10kg.

29er / Building an AR-bike
« on: October 04, 2016, 02:12:38 AM »
First of all hi, im new to this forum !

I am an adventure racer doing 3-5 days expeditionraces where mtb biking usually is a big part of the race, it can be anything from pushing the bike trough non-bikeable terrain to 200km stages on gravel. I have during the last years used full suspension 29" bikes around 11kg but I consider for the upcoming season to build an as light as possible HT which is durable enough to withstand the bike torture Adventure racing usually is. What im looking for is a bike that is fast on long fairly easy distances but also a bike that climbs well on long easy uphills, and a drivetrain with fairly low cost components to replace. Any suggestions ? Been looking at the Workswell WCB-M-096 but its seems alot higher for the same Top Tube length so perhaps something more XC like. Budget would be around 3000$

- 29 HT frame fitting my 187 cm.
- Good quality wheels that can take a beating (love my current DT Swiss XR 1700)
- 1 * 11 , been looking at the new XT and SRAM GX (not to happy with SRAM so considering testing XT)
- 100mm travel fork
