I measure 9” of insertion on my medium frame.

2 solid rides and 17 miles in on it so far and I’m feeling happy with the build.

Thanks my man...yeah I'm not sure if I want to do a carbon post to keep the weight down or do a Fox transfer 125mm dropper  :-\

Flippin BXT at Aliexpress is rediculous! I ordered 1/22 and it's not expected to get to me until the end of March! ugh!

I went with a carbon seat post, so far no need for a dropper on mine yet. Message them, I didn’t see much action on my frame until I was asking what the status was. Hopefully it gets there soon, I am happy with mine.

My frame failed today about mile 7 in a cross country race. I heard the loud pop, nothing felt immediately wrong so I kept going and finished. During my post ride clean up I found this. It didn’t fail where I thought it was going to!

I messaged BXT on eBay where I purchased it, we shall see what comes of it!

Darn! How heavy are you if I may ask.

I’m 180lbs. BXT took care of it and gave me a refund via eBay. I submitted a video of the failure for their internal investigation and was impressed with their communication. Ultimately I’m in the market for a new frame now.

Did they offer you a replacement frame?

Pleased to hear they offered a refund, at least.  I had a BXT for my boy, now sold, the BXT not the boy. I was impressed with the finish and he got good use out of it without problem but I had subsequently heard that BXT has poor customer service and to avoid them. I certainly had no issues with communications with them whilst we had the frame.

I could have gotten a replacement if I were to have paid the shipping I believe. The fit and finish of the frame seemed great. In my case I don’t think there was enough carbon on the joint between the top tube and seat tube.

Not sure I would consider a BXT in the future yet.

Have been riding my XL for a week. Really like it. Fits 2.6 rear.
A little worried about the feeling of suspension out back.
Unintended consequence of the design?

Not an engineer, but just from looking at it, it seems like the very slack seat tube combined with that rear triangle design is likely to transmit a lot of forces through the fractured area.

Hi Guys,
any news on this frame, I would like to get XL, but without gear I am around 110Kg. Should I be worried? :D
thank you
