29er / IP-256SL Screw Sizes
« on: December 03, 2018, 10:11:49 AM »
After a few years of not riding MTB's, I've decided to put the 256-SL back together.

The RD hanger screws are in bad shape (hanger is a bit loose and the screw heads seem stripped). Does anyone know what size those are?

Also- The little set screw for the rear axle is missing, anyone know what size that is? I plan on just going to buy a bunch of different sizes and trying them out, but I figured I'd ask here if anyone knew.

Thanks!

29er / 256 Brake Post Facing
« on: June 23, 2015, 08:23:19 AM »
Has anyone had to have their 256 rear brake posts re-faced? I've been struggling with a weak and dragging rear brake since the beginning. I always thought it had to do with the fact that I had to cut the rear hose and re-bleed. After a dozen rear-bleed attempts and a month at a LBS (not my usual one, I tried to save the hour drive), it's still happening. I finally got a hold of someone at Magura and without hesitation, he said I probably need to have my rear brake tabs re-faced. The bike shop opens in a half hour, so I will call to see if they can do it, I just figured I'd ask here to see if anyone had to do the same.

29er / Tracking shipment from China
« on: November 06, 2014, 02:02:19 PM »
iPlay shipped my frame out 4 days ago, and the latest update in the USPS tracking system (4 days ago) says that it has been processed through the sort facility in China. For those of you that remember your tracking history, does that mean that it's on it's way, or is it still in China waiting to be shipped?

Thanks!

29er / IP-256SL Winter Build
« on: October 28, 2014, 01:45:47 PM »
I posted before about finding a source for the frame, and since now that is on order, I figure I'll start a build thread. I apologize ahead of time, I'm a roadie building his first MTB, so a lot of this is new to me and I could be way off on some of this stuff (hopefully nothing I've already bought). I built 2 road bikes and 1 TT bike, so I'm hoping I have enough experience that actually putting it together will be easier than picking stuff out.

Here is the start of my build list, I don't have everything figured out yet, but since I'm building this over the winter, I think I have time to figure it out and be choosy. I want this bike to be a bit different, and I want to do it on a relative budget, since I still race road bikes and that is my primary focus. Weight isn't as big a driver as is cost and durability.

29er / 256SL Sourcing
« on: October 17, 2014, 07:25:42 AM »
Hey everyone! I'm new here, I found this site when looking around for information on building my first MTB. I'm looking at a 256SL and I can't wait to get started. It looks like everyone has recommended working with Peter at iPlay. I sent him an email yesterday afternoon... how long does he typically take to get back to you with a quote? Did you guys contact him via his email on the iPlay website, or did you contact him through alibaba or something like that?

Thanks for the help!
Steve
