I'm looking to also build a LCFS918 MTB but I have some concerns (as it is my first build), I weigh 105 kg will the frame (size L) hold my weight doing small jumps?
Should I buy Lightcarbon rims or shoud I buy brand ones locally for the service when something breaks (Belgium)?
What is the wait time for european deliveries (estimate)?

I really like some of the builds I see around here nice work everyone.

I am 102kg and ride the large.  I have not had any issues.  I do run my shock pretty close to max psi but that is with all my bikes.  I road a different open mold frame for 5 yrs before this with no issue either.  As for the wheels, light carbon will be just fine as far as the weight is concerned.  As for servicing, any shop should be able to replace a spoke if you were to break one but nothing about LC wheels or any other open mold companies wheels would increase that likelihood. 

Any thoughts on RISK vs. Wanyifa bolts? I have had the latter in my cart for while.

I am pretty hard on my bikes. Ridden in the rain and mud then hosed down with one of those Muc Off pressure washers, ive trashed a few sets of stock sram jockey wheels as well. I only have sram groups at this point so the ones with 689 bearings use reducers. Between those reducers, the shields, and the questionable quality of the bearings there is a lot of play. They also died really quickly.

Kogel is pretty average IMO regarding bearings but their design work is good and the 688 bearing size has a lot of great bearings available for it. Eventually the plan is to swap these out for Enduro XD-15 bearings. Curious to see if they really are a tough as their reputation.

I have wanyifa to on all my bikes and love it.  I have a few risk items but I don't like labels and I also wanted to get some strange size bolts.  So unless you are looking for the really weird specific parts, I would recommend wanyifa or even try craftsman.   

So i have the 919 frame on the way and bought a 165x45mm trunnion shock for it, and looking for the bushings for it.  I can't seem to find M10*54mm on Aliexpress.  Is it an uncommon standard?

If you need a bushing for the bottom I highly recommend Offset bushings.  They are based in the Uk but ship all over and make great stuff. They even make custom lengths and what not.  If you need it.   

The light carbon has the LCG010-D and the LCG073-D that both have round seat tubes.  the 73-D has rear micro suspension and a 31.6 post.  looks like the just posted all the specs for it.

I am informed it is now called 919 with UDH and larger headtube 1 1/2in straight headtube.
Pondering whether to get this one or 918.  I do like two bottle cages in the 918, but this one can officially support 130mm/120mm travel which I also prefer
Anyone tried this new 918 model yet?

There is a good thread on the 918.  I have the UDH version and so far I love it.  I wish it did not have the cables through the head tube as that is a pain in the butt and serves no real purpose or provides no benefit.  But it is what it is.  I am tempted to just make my own holes in the frame.  Other than that it is great.  I have built up 4 frames and all of them are running great.   

I have had the flyxii 806 for a few years now.  One was setup in gravel mode and another in more of a road bike mode.  Loved it but wanted more tire clearance.  Will be selling off the last one (road mode) soon. 

For those that have these.  How are you bleeding them.  I have the 2piston version and I can get an “ok” bleed but I can never get them to feel great.  I actually just went back to XT 8100s. But I would love to get these dialed for another build.

Jeff I see you installed the suntour edge lor , how is it ? Any trouble with the bashing kit?
Thx

Sorry for the late reply.  No I have had no issues with the bushings or anything really.  The shock is a bit noisier than a fox but I have gotten used to it and only ever noticed when just plodding along and thinking about it.
