Is this the workswell bike that never got delivered? Or did you end up getting your order fulfilled by workswell? If not did PayPal refund you??

Workswell is getting closer to having the m-178 available. Sourcing the e8000 won’t be too tough for me. Still on the fence about going this route or buying from Commencal or Fezzari.
Does anyone know if Workswell is the frame builder or open mold maker or just a “marketing” company (a very generous title for their site)?

« on: December 12, 2018, 12:03:20 PM »The bottom mounts are 8mm. Trunnion bolts are 10mm.
Modification is nessary to make it work.
You are stuck with 165/38.
I still have my fs027 and plan on trying to make it work by enlarging the mount holes just waiting on a cheaper shock.
I recently drilled out a carbon rim to switch from hidden nipples to normal ones. It was surprisingly easy and clean. Too bad the engineer on this frame didn’t understand the new trunnions fully.

On paper this bike looks fantastic. Combined with the steps manual and parts it would be easy to build. I can source all the e8000 system parts for about $1500. The frame is $795 plus shipping.
What do you guys think? Too risky? Post purchase customer service bad eough through workswell to be lacking any warranty? Ebike too likely to have failures? Too likely to be very flexy? Kinematics likely poor?

Not sure if it’s uncool for me to post here. But I’m thinking about doing something crazy by building an all mountain ebike with the works well m-178 frame. I didn’t read through the whole thread. It seems, in general, works well is know to have quality issues? What do you guys think about building a m-178?

« on: November 20, 2018, 03:43:05 PM »Any love for an Ebike? 150/150 travel F/R, 'slack' geo, Shimano E8000 STePS, Di2 11sp, full carbon, Fox/RS Yari suspension. Crank Bros dropper, shock remote lockout. Now on heavy wheels, 47 lbs with pedals. Carbon wheels coming, should knock off a bit of that.
I got love for your ebike! Looks really nice! How are you liking it?
*edit* sorry to ugly up this beautiful thread, but it seems I may have lost my thread creation privileges as I haven’t been here for awhile? I’d just like to share this frame and curious what others think. It’s interesting there isn’t much ebike love on the forum. I’m really curious how difficult it is to source and build up a reliable ebike from one of the Chinese frames?
Model WCB-M-178
$795 frame only
Availability for some sizes will be as early as March ‘19

The trunnion design is singular universal mount, 50mm x 8mm I believe. The pic on the shock is just wrong. It happens a lot.
Does anyone know of another option besides the not yet available fox Dps?

That super delux is as good a shock as any for this bike. It'll also be a couple bills less than anything else.

Cool thanks for the pics! Looks like you got the updated rear brake cable routing through the chain stays and downtube?
What shock are you running?

Drummercat what tires are you running and how's the clearance? I've read on here Peter advised it would accept up to 29x2.2.
Also I believe the geo chart reflects a 130mm fork. I've read each 10mm of extra axle to crown will slacken the bike 0.5 deg. So your HA measurement would be 67- 67.5, which seems a lot closer to advertised.
OP, I've been researching fit for the Scott Spark since info is not available for the FS27 and for 5'10" Large is the consensus.

Email from Peter: "Current rear cable routing is from top tube through seat tube. Do you want us to change the rear cable routing from down tube through chainstay ?"
My reply: "Yes routing the rear break through the down tube to chainstay would be a much better designs. I would purchase the frame with this change. I know a lot of the people on chinertown agree this is a necessary change. Please let me know if it is possible. thank you. "
Peters reply: "Yes, it is possible, what size do you need the frame in ?"

So Peter from carbon speed says the cable routing has been fixed on the cs-fs27, but didn't say anything about the caliper mounting. He quoted $740 including fees and shipping for the frame with headset and axle.

@peterxu have you been able to get the fs27 rear brake cable routing and caliper mounting locations fixed?
