29er / Anyone heard from Peter Recently
« on: September 10, 2018, 10:47:36 AM »
Hey folks-

Has anyone heard from Peter at XMCarbon Speed lately? Been trying to get in touch with him to source a couple of spare parts, and haven't been able to get him...

Best,

29+ & 27+ / Through Axle Nut for a cs496

Anyone know where I can find one of these? Sent Peter a note a moment ago, but would like to see if they can be sourced in the US.

BTW, keep your eye on these; I had one fall off while riding within 3-4 miles of having tightened it. Pic here:

29+ & 27+ / Ordered a CS 496...

...and a set of wheels with DTSwiss 350 Hubs and HR940C 40mm width rims in 29". Frame Should ship in a day or so, wheels in a few weeks. Looking for fork options for a 29+ build, will probably opt to do a used Fox 34 or Rockshox Pike in 120MM. The range of info on what works for a 29+ setup is a bit confusing :^). Can anyone here confirm based on personal experience the following:

".....the only difference between the Boost 29 and the Boost 27.5+ is that the + is wider. The tire clearance and A-C is exactly the same. I personally prefer the Boost 29 because it is plenty wide enough for 3.0" tires."

Thanks, and looking forward to the build.

29+ & 27+ / Difference between FLX-FR-701 and CS 496?
« on: August 14, 2017, 11:10:08 AM »
Hi there, new member. I think I've been through most of the plus bike posts, and didn't find the topic in a search. What's the difference between the Flyxii 701 and the CS 496 27.5/29 plus frames? Price difference is pretty material, wondering if the price of the rigid fork on the carbon speed option is the difference. Any specific feedback on the differences between the two vendors?

Thanks!
