BXT 097 Build (27.5)
« on: January 20, 2026, 08:46:23 PM »
Built a BXT 097 size small for the mrs using old parts off my old bike
Wheels - Unknown chiner 27.5 carbon rims
Hubs - Novatec D792/791
Fork - 120mm Fox 34 SC
Shock - 6.5x1.5 Fox Float DPS
Derailleur/shift - Sram GX
Cranks - Shimano XT m795
Brakes - XT m795

Rear Wheel in the pic is a 29" as I was in the middle of converting the novatec hub to boost.

Was worried about the bb height/clearance but it has better height than my current bike. Wouldn't have been a big deal either way - she only rides groomers.

Maybe the geometry of the bike isn't modern, maybe the under bottom bracket routing of cables is weird, but the frame seems solid, no major issues when building (one brake post is slightly off but workable).
Great price for a full sus frame if you have the parts lying around.
