Carbonazza, How do you like your rims? Peter is only going to charge an extra $5 for the set of rims without the holes in them. Do you think they hold a seal as well? Any change to the amount of sealant you use with the system? I'm pretty stoked about the whole idea... The cheapest tape I could find was about $12 a roll for 25mm.

Thanks Carbon Dude. Out of curiosity did you by a wheel set from Peter? He's given me the option to buy rims without having spoke holes (eliminating the need for rim tape) and I'm wondering how you would install a valve stem...

Thanks Carbon Dude, I was able to chat with my LBS and get a estimate on the price to get one in. I think I'll hold off for now, but I'm pretty convinced it's a worthy upgrade.

Another sort of odd question, but I'm ordering a NECO headset from Peter along with my frame. Does this headset include bearings, race etc.?

Thanks Carbon_Dude. I think I'm gonna stick with the DT Swiss hubs. Does anyone have any opinions on the best methods to control a rear Fox CTD shock and a front Fox CTD fork at the same time? I know there have been a few builds with different methods, but I'm having a hard time finding any hardware other than a cable splitter that you basically run to one remote.

You can run 3 cables internally, exiting for the rear shock, forward and rear derailer. If you are keen (and Id assume voids warranty) drill a hole in the exit point of the inner routing tube that exits near the top of the crank then you could run a stealth seat dropper. A big call though. Otherwise you will need to run the seat dropper post table externally all the way.

Jump over to here for a good discussion on what you can do http://forums.mtbr.com/29er-bikes/dual-suspension-chinese-carbon-29er-737952-66.html

If you are going to buy the frame from Peter, buy the carbon rims with the Novatec hubs as well. The rims have been great so far.

Thanks kaiser. I think I might just save a few bucks and get an externally running dropper seatpost as well.  In terms of the wheels, I was thinking of going with the DT Swiss 350 hubs. Do you see any advantage that the Novatec hubs might have?

So I've done my homework on this frame and I'm starting to pick up components. I'm trying to figure out if I'll have enough room in the cable housings to run the following:
Remote rear lockout
Dropper seat post
Rear derailleur
Front derailleur

Any opinions?

29er / CS-036 Build Resources and other tips?

Hello,

It's been a few years since I joined the forums, but I finally have enough financial stability (thanks college) to begin a Chiner build! I've never really completely built a bike from scratch before, so I'm looking for resources and part lists that I can steal ideas and components that I need. I'm thinking in general of building a CS-036 with SRAM XX 2x10 and carbon rims. I want an upgrade from the titanium behemoth I'm riding now. So... If you guys could point me to some threads that would help me out and just in general put up with my first timer questions that would be great!

Wow am I glad to have found this forum! Its so easy to get lost in the forums of MTBR!

Anyways excellent job getting this site going. It certainly seems like it will provide tons of information to those looking to build their own chiner.

I'll probably be sitting on the sidelines for awhile here trying to just learn and figure out what I'll actually need to start my build this winter! As this will be my first build I get into I hope you guys don't mind the noob questions!

Thanks!
