Thanx. It's not for race, but just for fun (tours). And I want to know everything about the bike, so, the best way to learn it, is to build it by my own

29er / IP-256SL by MTB2223
« on: July 07, 2014, 04:41:32 AM »
Hi All,
it's time to share my experience of building a mtb with as basis a IP-256SL. I try to keep this topic up to date.
I ordered my frame in April at Peter from XMIPlay. Because of production problems, the frame had a (big) delay. I didn't mind, because I'm not in a hurry.
The frame arrived last Friday in the Netherlands and is now waiting for customs inspection.
I was looking for a white fork with a crownloc, but couldn't find one. I don't want a push/poploc system, so that would a no-go. So, I'm going for a black one.
Let start with my buildlist. All the weights are found on the internet. I'll weight them, when I've got all the parts.
Buildlist:
History (date format: dd/mm/yyyy):
07/07/2014: Initial start of this topic
14/07/2014: Updated my buildlist with some actual weights.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Plasti Dip
« on: July 07, 2014, 12:06:39 AM »
I want to know how it holds (on UD matte) and if it's easy to remove. I know it will on a glossy frame, but I think on a UD matte frame it will be a little different?

Does someone has experience with plasti dip on his/her frame? And especially on a matte frame.
I want to put a design on my UD matte frame when it arrives. And Plasti Dip looks very nice.

After The Ride / Re: Before the ride...
« on: July 06, 2014, 01:50:24 PM »
"Before the ride" I'm always in a hurry. So, I tried to do all the maintenance directly or the day after the ride, which is:
- clean up de bike, especially the chain, FD and RD.
- after cleanup the chain and before the chain lube, I'll dry the chain with an old towel.
- lube the chain
- check the brake pads and replace them when needed.
On monthly basis:
- degrease chain completely. Lube chain again.
- check chain wear.
- replace chain with second chain.
- check for play in wheels, bb and headset.
On half year basis:
- bearing maintenance, hubs, bb and headset.
When something pops up during a ride, I spend more time during the week for this extra maintenance.

For my IP-256 I chose UD matte. Because I like the stealth idea and it good to combine with red accents.
But if I had to choose the practical way, I chose a glossy finish or a custom paint. that's better to clean.
I added the custom paint option to your poll.

Component Deals & Selection / Re: Dropper seat post on a IP-256SL with internal cabling?
« on: June 26, 2014, 08:58:28 AM »
Hmmm, okay. In that case. If you look to the bracket, you see that the bracket have some holes. If you don't use a FD, it is very easy than. But I don't know if there's enough space when the BB is installed.

Is the cable long enough to go through the down tube and the seat tube all that way ?
