Re: Suggestions to bring a build under $2k - ICAN P9 Frame
So i agree that you started a little high with the frame but what a lot of guys on this forum are unwilling to try that i have tried and know people to have tried is buy all parts from aliexpress. Most people on this forum stop on the frame.... they think that that is the only corner worth cutting because of the stigma of fox and rock shox. I do think that such a build is still possible but you will have to do a ton of research. There is a company on aliexpress that sells shocks called Himalo and having worked in a bike shop for many years and taken apart many shocks in my day cannot tell you a single difference between Himalo and other name brand shocks. It wouldnt surprise me if they are the same thing. I have ran them for a little over six months and they are incredible. for 180 USD you can buy himalo shocks at 100 to 200 mil travel and they are incredible. that would save you a ton of money. They could help themselves by improving their names, "himalo", just how low, "Uding". your face when this fork fails? Superficial I know but just being honest. October 13, 2020, 05:31:47 PM |

Re: Light Carbon LCFS917 XC Frame
Now that someone got one I'll spill the beans on mine. In a round about way I was able to get one earlier this year. I wish I was able to get the gloss black like Robin but had to settle for matte black. I have 1490 miles on it so far. I got the medium. I'm about 5'8.5" ( wingspan of 6 ft). I might have been able to get a large but I wasn't sure if the seatpost would be too long to run a dropper. I'm running 740mm bars and an 80mm -6 degree stem. I wish it had a little longer reach. Height wise I'm right on the edge between a medium and large and I have a long reach as stated above. But a frame with long reach is no good if the standover is too high for my legs I built it up around a 120mm Sid Ultimate. It's last year's with the 32mm stanchion. The shock is a 165x45 fox nude from a 2017 Scott Spark 920. The rest of the components were budget buys. Drivetrain:sram gx eagle Crank: raceface affect BB: wheels MFG thread together Brakes: Shimano deore xt Rotors: Shimano rt66 Bars: yeti carbon Wheels: Mercury EnduroX3 Tires: Vittoria Barzo-front, Mezcal-rear, both 29x2.3 Dropper: OneUp V2 120mm Seat: Specialized Power Arc expert Dropper remote: Wolftooth barcentric Suspension remote: Scott twinloc I forgot to weigh the frame before I built it up. I think it sits about 26lbs without pedals. So far I like it. It pedals pretty good. I wish the bottom bracket was higher because I get some pedal strikes. I have it set up with about 10mm of sag on the shock so I probably can't get it much higher. I spend most time with it in the middle shock position so 80mm travel. Not much pedal bob when I'm pedaling normal. Standing up and mashing there is some. I lock out the shock and fork on flats or smooth climbs when possible. I'll open it up for full ~115mm rear travel on rough stuff and when taking larger jumps and drops. It's my first carbon frame. It feels pretty stiff but I'm only 142lbs so I'm light. I took it all apart when I got it and packed grease in all the bearings and then torqued everything to spec with blue loctite. I have a creak that I think is dirt in the seatpost otherwise the suspension is quiet. I bent a derailleur hanger when I crashed and then broke it when trying to straighten it. I had 1 extra so I ordered a couple more. I sheared the head off a suspension bolt somewhere around 800 miles so I ordered backup hardware. December 05, 2020, 11:18:08 PM |

Re: Welcome to Chinertown - Introduce Yourself!
Hello all, First post here - I'm Jeroen, currently living in Germany but originally from the Netherlands. I'm a roadbike kinda guy, but decided to build up a Chiner fully over the upcoming winter as a successor to my old, faithful Klein Palomino. This will not be my first build, I already own a Lightcarbon LCR004D roadbike (+matching Yishun wheels) and I've been riding and repairing bikes for the last 20 years minimum. Overall, I must say that I'm very happy with Lightcarbon until now - but let's wait for the next project. Last weekend, my Lightcarbon LCFS911 arrived and I'm now searching the net for parts. My first question will be around the ofset/rake you guys used for building, but I'll post that in the LCFS911 thread. After that, I'll be investing some time and money in the paint job for this bike, as I'm a sucker for the old Klein paint jobs. Of course, this doesn't make sense at all - period. But: that's cool with a naked carbon bike, you can make your own dream. Stay healthy! December 08, 2020, 02:20:46 PM |

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29
Minimum order requirement of 10. Price around $680 each with another $125 for shipping. This includes Frame, seat clamp, headset, rear thru axle, and a spare hanger. I messaged Sitar_Ned to see if it was ok to do a group buy. December 21, 2020, 10:06:08 PM |
