Xmcarbonspeed CS-R01 build
« on: October 29, 2024, 11:21:10 AM »
Hi Guys, starting this thread to follow my new bike build which will be built around xmcarbonspeed's cs-r01 frame, placed my order today with a custom paint scheme (similar to a supersix lab71 scheme). Also ordered a set of their D50CU-28 wheels built up with in house hubs and carbon spokes to go with the frame. I'll attach some images Peter sent me of the frame and geometry.

Would like to put a wireless groupset on it and I'm really leaning towards the wheeltop eds tx as force d2 is so bloody expensive.

Hoping to get this build pretty light so any recommendations for a good value crankset/chainrings would be appreciated, also a good 12 speed lightweight hg cassette recommendation.

Dealing with Peter has been fantastic, had lots of small requests regarding painting and extras and he has replied multiple times every day, very forthcoming with information and very accommodating to any requests. Up to this point customer service has been the best I've dealt with.

 I am ordering this frame as well. I will be painting mine - just need to come up with an idea. I just did a g056, have my old Pinarello in prep and just stripped a 68' Grandis Superleggera. My brain is hurting a bit LOL.  Looking forward to your build.

This is the scheme that Peter said they would try their best to emulate without codes.

Interested to see your build too

He sent a picture measuring the rear chainstay and it should easily fit my 35mm Gravelkings. It will be set up with wireless SRAM and used on and off road.

Peter put it on their wheel promotion thread, he emailed me more details when I asked them.

For those interested, this frame as well as another new one is listed on Geometry Geeks.

 After some thinking I think this is what mine will look like. A bit of an homage bike if you will.
 Please don't roast my photoshop skills LOL

Look Mondrian, but allergic to blue? interesting :)
If you ever consider selling it, you might want to add the c'est la vie as a vinyl decal yourself. That way, you can change your mind every month and change the logo, and if you sell it, you remove it so it's more neutral for the buyer.
My tractor logo is vinyl, 9000km, hasnt moved. Flawless. And would have been impossible to position it just right if i had asked them to paint it.
Tcheu ste panthere !

Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

 I have a hobby vinyl cutter and do this as well. I also use it to make stencils for airbrushing and such. On my g056 I tried each of these but was finally happy with the final one although I was partial to Willie Nelson as a troll logo but people didn't get it LOL

 ALSO, are you running 180mm rotors an a fork built for 140/160 ? If so what adapter is that ? - Nevermind, I see that those are post mount calipers. I am still looking for a nice looking flat mount adapter. I may have to make one myself.

i asked peter to stick some decals similar to the golden ones on that supersix so we'll see how it turns out, decals went to production i think yesterday.

160mm front, 180 back. I literally just found a cheap 180 fork adaptor though, i'll report if it works, i'm buying 8, i hope it does...
On the picture are ltwoo brakes, which have some weird format, and they provide the 140 and 160 adaptors for flat mount frames, so what you see on the fork is native from ltwoo. What you see at the back is (from memory) the 140 ltwoo adaptor AND the cheap 3rd party adaptor i found to make it 180. Or maybe it's 160 to 180. Either way the rear has a 3rd party adaptor.

Thanks. I cracked a NDS crank because they didn't give a torque indication (it cracked <8nm), but it was like 30 eur to get a replacement, now i torque at 5.5nm, put a lot of loctite on the screws, and it works well. I've installed 5, everybody's happy. The rings cost 25 eur, and they need replacing every few thousand km (probably 5k max). The aluminium is quite soft. Although you can actually ride the bike with a tooth or 2 missing on the big ring, without problem, dont ask me how i know. Technically you could get an adaptor then run other rings, but i like the look & the price point.
I have a sram red bb30 road crankset, having ridden one after the other, i can't tell them apart, so, they do the job, they're light, and as chinese carbon cranks go, they're cheap.
