It seems my 062 has a small crack. http://imgur.com/gallery/NZiPN   the first picture shows the first cracking i noticed. The second picture shows a small crack that i cant feel, however every 2 days it leaks out white stuff.. I asked workswell what to do.. they said ride it harder to see if it is a paint crack or a structural crack. I have since ridden it 500km standing more and mashing it as much as I can.. I really can't say if it has gotten any larger, but we will see since I have only had my frame for 1 year/1500km.. I weight 200lbs and ride 99% xc trails with no major jumps/drops..

Will keep others up to date on the process with them.

Mine's cracked in this identical location.  It's got 1300 miles on it now, and the crack started maybe 200 miles ago. It's slowly gotten worse and has now appeared on the other side of the tube as well.  I mean very slowly.  Can't say I'm all that confident anymore in it, I fully expect it to fold in half everytime I cross a rock garden.  For that reason I'm planning to replace it with a name brand frame that probably costs 4-5 times as much.  All in all, I still got my money's worth from the 062. 

Hit 1000 miles on my 062.  No real problems with it, still going strong.  It's gone from SS to 1x11, and back to SS.  I've run both an eccentric bottom bracket and a BB30 crank.  these are great bikes. 

Broke my chiner handlebar today in half.  So lucky I didn't crash.  I can't even imagine how much worse it could have been.  It just happened to fail coming out of a dip so I wasn't really pushing on it and was coming back uphill so going relatively slowly.  This bar had 250 miles on it.

I have chiner handlebars on three of my bikes (Niner EMD9, Niner Jet9 RDO, and Chiner 062), and have over 1500 miles on them in total.  For me, never again.  I'm going with US bars only from US dealers and only bars that are new out of the box, so I can verify they are in fact real.  I'm sure you can think of plenty of reasons why I broke this bar and shouldn't have, but never again for this guy.  There are probably several chiner versions available that are high quality, but I'm not willing to conduct the quality control testing anymore with my own body!  These bars were beautiful, super light, and cheap.  But, not worth it.  Today I ordered an expensive US bar to replace it, and it seemed like money well spent.

I've got 1000 miles on a chiner frame, and i do still plan to ride it, although I wonder if I can ever really trust it now.  I'm done with chiner bars though. 

About 800 miles on my 062 now. Zero issues. I just upgraded to a brand name $3k frame. And so far I prefer the 062. I'll give it some time.

G'day gent's!
RS VR6: What is the 062 frame's condition now for almost 10 months with your riding style? I guess it is holding up much better than the 256SL.

My 062 has 9 months on it now and right around 600 miles.  No issues so far.  I beat on it pretty good.  Not totally sure I understand what qualifies as XC vs AM, but sure feel like i put it to its limits.  I destroy tires routinely, but no frame problems. 

Recently bought a $1500 Niner carbon frame to build a second bike, and still prefer this chiner.

How is the EBB holding up in the Carbon PF30 Shell? Any Creaks? How long have you been running it with the EBB for?

About 400 miles. No problems, no creaks. It's great so far.

So you switched from single speed to the derailleur?  How did the weight change?  I never seriously considered a single speed, but was curious on how much weight it would drop.

Yes, that's right.  Added just over a pound for the shifter, derailleur, and cassette.  So far I prefer SS, but trying to give gears a chance.  That's XX1 stuff though, pretty light.  Probably could drop a couple pounds, esp if you have multiple chainrings up front.

What is EBB? Sorry for my ignorance. I have to buy a frame for an xx1 gxp crank. What do you suggest me, bsa o bb92?

ebb=eccentric bottom bracket.  it allows the smaller GXP crank to move for/aft/up/down inside the bottom bracket of the frame to change the overall length between the chainring and sprocket.  You only need it for single speed, and even then it's just one of many options to tension the chain.
