Workswell WCB-M-062

Really nice bike!
I can't wait to upgrade to 1x11 over Xmas

PS: you should buy a pair of cable cutter. Side cutters don't do a good job as you can see here. I also use cable cutter to shorten brakes hose. Then, you can buy cable ends for maybe 2 bucks the dozen. This bike deserves a nice finishing

Haha...I didn't switch out the cable. SRAM warrantied my Type 2 to a 2.1. So I had to pull the end cap off to switch derailleurs. The the cable frayed when I removed it and I had no spare on hand. I'll have a new one on this weekend.

WTB Trailblazer 2.8's on i30 rims are a go!

So here is my 19inch 062.  I have had it for about 2 months and have about 300km on it.. Ordered it from aliexpress and when I got it one brake post was slightly off kilter so I took it to a machine shop and they retapped it for 20$.  Would I buy it again? Probably. The biggest plus : price.. My biggest complaint: rear tire clearance.. With 2.25 racing ralphs on arch ex wheels I was getting rubbing when I put the power down.. Probably nothing to be concerned about but it was still happening.. I'm 6 feet and 200lbs. I have broke 2 giant anthem frames in the last 2 years and I hope this isn't going to be another casualty.. I  have also broke 3 seatposts in the last 2 years, so I try to get some beefier components and can't go full weenie.

Oh, she is not too light, coming in at 22lbs with pedals.

I'm running a RaRa 2.25 also. I get no rubbing. Looking down at the chainstay...I have some ok clearance.

I have a IP-106 not a 062 but my frame can fit 2.4 tires easily.

Very keen on this frame, to build up as a singlespeed with PF30 EBB.

I see on aliexpress there's a 15% discount. Says its ending today, but I'm not sure if it always says that?

[xcbarny]

Does anyone have the PF30 version of this frame, and if so did it come with an aluminum sleeve bonded inside the bb, or would I need a BB30 frame for that?

[bxcc]

$400 for a frame shipped is pretty good. They do run different promotions at random times. I got the BSA version with the carbon fork for $450 shipped. I haven't seen that price since though. Even the cheapest 29er frames are rarely under $300.

[xcbarny]

Well I just ordered the Frame. Got it for $395, and no Paypal fee which was great.

Ordered a 17" in UD Gloss (haven't seen any in gloss here)
PF30 and 135 rear.

Need to get an EBB to run it singlespeed, and will be transferring parts over from an On-One Scandal.

I only saw this frame last week, so this seems like a very rash decision for me, it usually takes me months to decide!

Congrats on the frame!

It took me quite some time to come across the right frame. This frame ticked all the right boxes. I had to buy no new parts...everything from my Specialized transferred over. Also the geometry is spot on for me.

Only thing I had to buy is a brake hose. I even paid retail (ouch!).

[xcbarny]

Yeh, I say I only saw it last week, and found this forum, but I've been keeping an eye on Chinese Carbon frames for probably 8 years now. This one definitely seems to have the best geometry of any I've seen. Hopefully they're well made. I've seen prices on some other makes slowly creep up as they've become more popular.

I'm also pretty happy that the post is 27.2, should be a bit more forgiving on the rear, and it's the size I had on the Scandal. The only things I won't be able to transfer are the forks and the BB, and I may have to play around with the stem length.

Anyone want to venture a guess on the size of this bolt? The set screw threaded into the dropout. I don't have the bike with me. The bolt itself seems like it's real soft and waiting to be stripped. I want to replace it with a grub screw that has no head and will fit flush with the dropout.

I also agree that the threads should be tapped into the dropout. Not sure why they have a separate nut.

Tks

I can bring the screw in to work tomorrow and find out if you aren't in a rush.

That'd be awesome!

Thanks!
