Any experience with the Workswell WCB-M-109(27.5ER) FS frame?

[Molothi]

oh yeeeess - what a beautiful build....

what is size is your frame: 17.5 or 19 ?

regards

[Alcaid]

19"

My first FS so I really don't have much to compare it against I'm afraid

[Molothi]

thanks Alcaid

did you checked the frame weight when you received it?

I got an update today .... mine should be finished  in 25 days :-)

[Alcaid]

My 19" frame was 2220gr, with "dummy" rear shock and rear axle

[Molothi]

thanks Alcaid

I've ordered a 19"too

what do you mean by "dummy" rear shock - do you mean the plastic part used for transportation?

if so, the weight wouldn't be in line with the given weight - I was told 2070gr without shock... we'll see

for my order, 25 days left does not let me any chance to get it for Christmass, but that's life.. it will arrive soon or later :-)
patience... patience :-)
I'll post some pics when I'll receive it
my build is already done..  on the paper, and if I can get all parts I want for a good price (Christmass time should help :-) ) it should be some kind of light FS bike (under 10.5kg with pedals)
we'll see

By "dummy" I meant the transport plastic part yes, same for the rear axle. Forgot to remove those before putting the frame on the scale

I was too curious so I signed up and had to ask, what are your thoughts for Cross country terrain with the bike geometry?

Also what is your height? Thanks mate.

[Alcaid]

Frame is perfect for XC!

I am 177cm / 5' 10"

It's what I thought.. but wanted to be sure
Thank you Alcaid ;-)

How much was the price for the frame? I wanna buy the pike rct3. Which size is better 150mm or 160mm?

[Molothi]

Hello The1ne

I guess you did not read the frame specs with enough attention- a 100mm fork is required!
it's a XC/Marathon frame, not DH

Do you think a Q156 XX1 crankset would fit on this frame?

[carbonazza]

Any usual Q factor will be fine.
What matter is the size of your chain ring.
32 teeth is normal, so you will never have issues around that size.
You may get in trouble with some frames if you use a 38 or higher.

Thanks for the feedback. So I guess Q156 is nothing out of the ordinary?

[carbonazza]

No, it is very common.
