29er / Full suspension build
« on: May 26, 2021, 08:27:52 AM »
I have a few questions on a full suspension  build.  I've ordered and built up no less them 30 road, mtb hardtails, and cyclocross frames.  I've always used hardtail xc bikes, but want to build a full suspension bike. 

I'm not too familiar with full suspension bikes.  I know I'm  late to the game.  My first question is what frames are boost and make a good xc race frame?  My second question is what should I look for and what do I need to know about getting the rear shock
  Ideally I'd like to order a frame that includes the rear shock and all bushings and parts needed. 

Thanks in advance.

29+ & 27+ / 29er plus crankset...
« on: April 27, 2021, 06:12:14 PM »
I've got this frameset.  It's got a BB92 and I have a Hard Rock crankset off Aliexpress to go with it.  I'm having spacing issues with the crank only having a 1-2 mm spacing between the left chainstay and the crank arm.  I bought a BB92 shimano bottom bracket off amazon.  It doesn't include any spacers.  Does anybody know if I need a spacer on the BB, and will it change the BB width, or do I need a new crankset.  There is a bottom bracket and spacers included with the crankset so I may try that.  This just seems like an oddball match.  Does anybody have this frame and what BB and crankset did you go with?

Does anyone know if a SRAM 11spd Force or Rival CX1 rear derailleur will work with the Sensah shifters, which are basically SRAM shifters.  I put the Sensah on my cx bike and like having the clutch in the SRAM derailleur since my bike is set up as a 1x.

29er / Facing BB shell
« on: September 05, 2018, 09:27:00 AM »
Do most of you face the BB shell of ypur new carbon frame?  I've always just faced my non carbon frames with a block and fine sandpaper.  Anybody do this with their frames or just install your outboard bearing BB?

Vendor Discussion & Reviews / ordering from China.....
« on: August 21, 2018, 06:03:51 AM »
I've ordered a few frames from China.  Can anybody tell me how they really operate?  Does anyone else feel like you order frames and take it with a grain of salt that you will get it or not.  I have not been disappointed yet and everything has came as ordered, but several things I wonder about.  Why do they have so many "agencies" selling frames with different prices?  Is the person you're dealing with really one individual person and is that really their name, I have a feeling it's several people using one name.  The Alibaba website when trying to order frames just seems so confusing.  I will contact suppliers and get emails from my "contact" from another agency and it's like they don't even know who I am.  Why does this not seem more straight forward and is it their goal to confuse me?

29er / BB30 or BSA....
« on: August 21, 2018, 05:44:39 AM »
like the title says, BB30 or BSA.  I was just wondering if anyone has had any issues with the BB30.  I'm getting ready to order two frames.  I know BSA is just easier to deal with, but are their any drawbacks to using the BSA?  I have a chinese road and cross frame both in BB30, but just curious if anybody has had any issues in the mtb.  What advantages would I have with the BB30 over the BSA?  I'm ordering the Trident Thrust xc frame, and if you have any comments on the frame I'd appreciate those also.

29er / Trident Thrust...
« on: August 18, 2018, 01:16:05 AM »
Hi, just wondering if anyone has bought this frameset yet.  I recieved my frame in 27.5, but haven't built it up yet.  I'm now going to order a 29er also.  I believe this has got to be the best deal going right now for the price and free shipping.  The frames I received seem to be off good quality.  Does anybody know the ride quality?  I currently ride a Trek Superfly, but since I can't just have one bike and want to move up to a 29er also I would love to know others experience with it.  This is my first 29er after moving racing all throughout the 90's and early 2000's on 26" mtb.  I just recently got back into the sport on the 27.5 since I liked the transition better the a 29er.  Any comments on this frameset appreciated.  https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/THRUST-mtb-Bicycle-29er-China-mtb_60643554726.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.1.586e241dwVHrjd

29er / Taxes, tariffs, and duties
« on: June 25, 2018, 05:58:13 PM »
Has anybody ordered and recieved your frame recently?  I was just wondering with all the tariffs or import taxes have caused any issues.  I bought a couple frames a fewyears ago and had no issues and dont recall paying a dime.  It worries me now seeing things written on the website about buyer being responsible.  It seems as if there is more mention of it then ever before.  Im ordering a frame from Trident Thrust.  The last frames were from Deng Fu.  Thanks.

26er & 27.5 (650b) / best current hardtail frame
« on: June 20, 2018, 06:57:51 PM »
Hi, I've gone through a few carbon road and cross frames, but now am looking for a mtb frame.  I currently ride a 2015 Trek Superfly 27.5 in 15.5" frame.  I'm about 5'6" or 168cm's tall and have always liked a smaller frame that I can toss around on the tight singletrack trails, but races have now gone to more open fireroad or doubletrack.  I've been looking to size up as I've been feeling a bit cramped.  As the subject states, what the current best frame in the chinese carbon market?  I was looking at a Workswell last year(i forgot the model, but got good reviews).  I did notice a model from ICAN model XT275.  Can anyone give me some reviews or suggestions?  Thanks.

29er / DENGFU M02?
« on: July 04, 2017, 06:20:43 AM »
Does anybody have a review or experience with this frame from Dengfu?  I'm looking into the WCB-M-062 and have read good reviews, but have also seen this frame and am looking to purchase a road frame and mt. bike frame.  The place I'm looking at getting it only has the road frame I want, but has the M02 frame that looks similar to the WCB-M-062.

29er / WCB-M-062 reviews
« on: April 06, 2017, 04:22:24 PM »
I'm looking into this frame.  Apparently it's a Specialized Stumpjumper clone.  Can anybody tell me how this rides and handles.  I plan to use it for xc racing.  I'm a CAT 1 with a Trek Superfly currently in a 27.5", but looking to get into a 29er.  I've seen one video on youtube where the guy complains about the rear end being flexy.  Any input appreciated.  If there's anything else comparable to this frame then please let me know that too.  Thanks.
