Does anyone here have this particular frame and could provide some additional information and pictures? I'm really interested in buying this frame, but I need to check some details before I commit, specifically the real weight and the saddle clamp, among others..

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks, but that's not exactly what I am looking for

my plan is to cover up the whole recessed part of the frame:

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / front derailleur mount cover
« on: December 14, 2019, 11:57:50 AM »
hi there,

I just recently bought the R12 road bike frame from honsenbikes.com with the intention of building a lightweight gravel bike, therefore I'm using a 1x setup and do not need the front derailleur hanger. leaving the mount on the frame is out of the question (EXCESSIVE extra weight;]) so I screwed it off, which has left me with two unsightly craters aka screw holes in the frame...now my question: are there any covers I could purchase to cover those up, like this https://www.cannondaleexperts.com/Cannondale-2018-Synapse-Carbon-Front-Derailleur-Mount-1X-Cover-CK3578U00OS_p_8016.html maybe? or has anyone ever made one themself and can give me some hints? any help is greatly appreciated!

hi,

not sure if my reply is still relevant, but I bought this frame together with this handlebar
http://www.haidelibikes.com/product/showproduct.php?id=142
and I think this is a very good combination for tall people. I myself am 1,82 m, and I have to stretch quite a bit, so I think for a tall person, this frameset will fit perfectly

so I took the bike for its first 50 km ride today...and what can I say, I didn't run into any trouble with the chain line, au contraire, I'm really impressed with the Eagle's performance overall and I'm very content with what I've built :]

this is basically the situation I'm dealing with. backpedalling seems to work fine, albeit being audible and "clunky", but the chain has stayed on all through my "dry runs", still too cold outside for my liking...

pleae excuse the terrible image quality, my phone is dying...

hey guys, thanks for all the answers

just some feedback: I'm stupid as can be...I didn't fully close the chain lock when test assembling my bike, so thats why the chain jumped off..I have now fitted the xx1 eagle with the 38t chain ring with the help of a large spacer...the chain line still is pretty fucked up, but I think it will work out..couldn't really try the finished bike yet because of -10 °C outside...I'll keep you posted if anyone's interested

29er / hardtail frame for 38t
« on: February 13, 2018, 12:51:51 PM »
hi there, this is my first post, so please be gentle...I'm very frustrated with my first build, so I came here looking for help:

I recently bought my first chinese carbon frame to build a hardtail mtb. I chose FM-M009, I reckon many of you already know said frame. after the frame I bought a whole load of other parts, including just recently the xx1 eagle groupset with a 38t chainring. I had big trouble fixing the crank with this large chainring and only managed to with the help of a large spacer, which in turn totally f***ed up the chainline.

from what i can tell this frame won't even fit a 36t one, and since I mainly do long tours and not so much hillclimbing or downhill, I really want to use the 38t chainring.

so, to make it short, can you guys recommend a lightweight carbon frame I can fit a 38t chainring on?

thanks in advance! sorry if this topic already exists, I searched, but didn't really find anything...
