BKR/Lexon B627 140mm frame
« on: January 11, 2018, 09:18:54 AM »
Hi there,

Surfing the web and looking for a new bike, I just found this one but cannot any info or user review. Does anybody know about the brand or the frame?

Haven't seen that frame before.  I like that it's a 27.5+ compatible frame, but I'd have no need for a front derailleur mount or the ISIS mount on the BB.  Also, BB92 wouldn't be my first choice.  Other than those things, it looks pretty good for around $800 US.

This one is a copy of the latest Scott Spark, closest I can find to the one you posted:

The one I posted seems to have a very good trail geometry with less extreme real seat angle than P8/P9, and 4bar rear suspension is a plus too.
But I just lack any feedback about it. Price seems fair and inline with others.

Has anybody else had issues running the rear hydraulic brake hose from the rear? I can get it past an obstruction in the down tube and have tried almost everything I can think of or google has. Any advice would be great, it is the last part to the build and it is making me angry.

Sometimes yes  :-\.
But after trying harder, it finds its way in general.
The hose has generally a curve, so you can use it to try to run it on the top/right/bottom/left of the chainstay and avoid the obstacle.

Did you try to run a cable( brake or shifter ) with a magnet to see if it goes through?
Or you can try with another hose from the bottom bracket to the back, just to find/force a path.
Good luck !

The mechanic who assembled one of my Chiner bike run into a snagging problem routing the hydraulic hose from the rear, I suggested routing it from the front to rear and it got through much easier.
