Re: LightCarbon 918?
Hi. I am interested in this frame. Quick question. Does it use the universal derailleur hanger or some specific one? Maybe a canyon copy? I ordered a spare with my frame. It is not a universal. January 31, 2023, 07:14:19 AM |

Update on Lexon genius
So about 6 total hours 8)of riding on it so far. Climbs fantastic. Very nice bike to pedal for sure. Had to work out an annoying knock which seems as tough it was one of the bearings in the rear suspension link not being fully seated. Tolerance for the bearing aren’t great. Can hand press one of them out. Greased the hell out of them and quiet now… feels like i Gained 25 wtts just getting rid of the noise. I’ll probably have to use that compound stuff from Park to make last thought. Just now starting to trust it. So far so good. Sexy looking though

Re: Epic Evo Clone
Pivot hardware looks fine as well as the axle. I will not be getting into the bearings unless there are issues. It is generally good practice with chinese frames to strip them down, grease everything and then torque it all properly. February 21, 2023, 01:01:01 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
No, you are correct, the rear triangles are different between the Evo and regular epic. What I am saying is that if they can make an Evo style linkage to work with this rear triangle it would good enough. Looks like it might be possible. One concern that I have is that with the adjusted leverage, it might introduce larger strain on the rear triangle. March 07, 2023, 10:41:37 AM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
What I've been totally wasting my time on. Do I know what I'm doing? Absolutely not Am I having fun? Hell yeah Interestingly, the chainstay length is about 438ish like this. @wwwru, how are you measuring the chainstay length? I'm doing it with the shock totally uncompressed (Which is how I though the chainstay was suppose to be measured from manufacturers) March 07, 2023, 09:16:04 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
Thing is, I actually measured the rear travel with the new linkage I designed, and I actually measured around 130mm of rear travel. So its definitely possible, but I'm not sure what my linkage has done to the rest of the geometry. I also heard some disturbing creaks from the rear triangle when moving it to full compression.

Re: Epic Evo Clone
Was able to build it today. Bushing provided did not suit for my rockshox shock. So I have to trim down my existing DU 20 bushings.. A lot of work with rasp and some with ange grinder. And it was ready to go. Done 1hr ride today. No creaks, sounds, ets. Very quiet ride and bike is very responsive. I like it. July 04, 2023, 01:17:24 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
Very nice! I just made the purchase myself, from AWST. Size Large for a 6 ft rider. 745 USD. Did you do any disassembly or servicing of the moving parts? I might check and grease the bearings when it arrives. I've just disassembled links to see the bearings, they were smooth. So I just put everthing back and gone for a ride. Wonder what kind of bushings AWST provide with its frame... I might check and grease the bearings when it arrives. I see no reason doing so. I will just replace bearing when these worn out. you need to ride at least 2000 km and 20,000 m uphill ... Do I have a deadline for this? July 05, 2023, 03:43:55 AM |
