Re: LCFS713 - Full Suspension Enduro
The bike is almost ready, just some adjustments left to do. And when the snow and cold is gone, time for a testride.

Re: Stumpjumper clone
After riding the trail, I checked the bolts on the lower links on the frame. They destroyed the threads and turned effortlessly in it. I ordered new bolts, longer ones, as the threads in the frame are much deeper. At the same time, I changed the bearings to normal ones (2RS), there were bearings that were not intended for such conditions (sand was clogged in them after the first trips). The bottom shock absorber bushing 14 * 8 fits perfectly into place, much stronger than a flip chip. October 23, 2021, 04:28:43 PM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Do you remember what stainless steel they did use ?Bolts made of aluminum, not steel. The original bolts (specialized) are made of aluminum, and so are the Chinese ones. The master said that the Chinese bolts with a tapered thread, it is less than necessary for the M12x1. P.S. I also asked to make it a hexagon 6, not 8. And now all the bolts and the axle can be tightened with one tool. October 25, 2021, 10:17:07 AM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
What did you use for rear shock bushings?For RS shock absorbers, you can use bushings 21.8mm*6 (pos A on pic) and 15.0mm*8 (pos B on pic) for example - https://www.bike-discount.de/en/rockshox-bushing-set-8mm-metric/imperial March 09, 2022, 11:44:25 AM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
Thanks for the reply, but too late haha the bike is already built. For the front of the shock I used FOX Mounting Hardware - 9 Piece, AL, 6mm x 20.83/0.820 and for the rear I used the flip hip as mentioned I think on page two of this thread. Anyway, I did the specialized bearings as well. 210x55 fox shock. March 12, 2022, 11:04:10 PM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
How you solve quest with hole in front triangle where cross brake and rear derailear tube? What fitting needed?My solution  A piece of protective film, and soundproof tubes (they fit into the rear triangle very tightly, so they are inserted there for a short length). March 16, 2022, 05:59:31 AM |

Re: Stumpjumper clone
I've had the clone for a while now and ultimately felt that the 150mm travel was too much of a good thing... So after scratching the hell out of it due to my errors during transport I got it repainted and decided to go full "Down Country" on it. The forks are now 120mm SID Ultimate with a Slack R -1.5°, A SIDeluxe Ultimate damper and the Specialized ST Damper extension to allow for the 190x42.5 damper. With various other Race Face and SRAM components weight is down to a very reasonable 11kg, running Newmen Carbon rims and 2.3 tyres from Conti. Head Angle is approx 65.5°, effective seat tube angle I still need to calculate. Love the handling of the bike and the 120mm front and back is more than enough for my riding. What do you think? Sacrilege or  Cheers Guy

Re: BXT-MTB-117 150mm AM bike
I finished my BXT-MTB-117 (v3) build. It's sweet. Only very minor issues (no directions on the washer 'direction' on the upper pivot lower bolt, one cable housing point on the HT was too tight for the brake housing). I don't have a lot of miles, but no reason to believe any issues coming. Mine was about 3100g (fully painted in white gloss). I weighed everything and documented the build on MTBR here: https://www.mtbr.com/threads/hightowur-v2-open-mold-carbon-build.1222774 July 24, 2023, 09:24:48 AM |
