Kids Size Chinese Carbon MTBs?

[Crash217]

Anyone built one or have good ideas for sourcing frames, wheels and forks?

Couldn't find much information around here so figured a specific thread would be applicable.

Here's some frames/wheels I've come across recently;

DIY Carbon Bikes has 24/26" carbon rims, Hardtails and Full Suspension carbon frames;

BXT on AliExpress has a 24" carbon hardtail;

There are a few cranksets available on AliExpress,

CRUZbike makes a crankset that looks promising, 127-140-150mm lengths and 25t-38t GXP chainring options to choose from.

I have used Cruz crank on my kids bike and it’s a pretty good piece of kit.

As for frame you have a few more options than BXT but it’s the one I will use for my daughter 24”

The bxt frame is fine, I've built two. They were as little as $220 shipped last ali 11/11 sale.

Quite a bit about them on other forums, but it's all pretty old, the frame has been out quite a while.

Old reba dual airs work great with light kids. My daughter's is like 22.5lbs.

That bike looks awesome, thanks for sharing. I will look into the fork you are using, I was struggling a little to find something outside of the manitou and that was too expensive for my taste.
