Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Meinier DS-118 ?
« on: May 04, 2026, 03:17:00 PM »
Hello friends!!

Any Meinier DS-118 owners?
Caliper and  BB alignment, overall quality all ok?
Seatpost clamp is compatible with 7x9 mm rails?

Looks like a decent frame. I'll start a new road bike build soon, and this frame looks like a good choice.
I'm planing a 1x12 setup with  50-60mm wheels.

I already have a good experience with a  Meinier Snake XC hardtail, so the DS-118 is a natural choice!

Any experiences with this frame are Welcome!

Sorry for the weird english, I'm from Brazil!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

After a few months of riding, did a few upgrades on the bike. For anyone with doubts about chain line, 55mm is needed with 34T chainrings - pretty close as pictured.
Bike was born to be a 'beater' but proved to be a very nice riding HT.
Wheels are the KORE Carbon 30mm internal from ali. Not super light but looks very strong, ride nicely and the freehub is VERY loud.
Really liked the IIIPro brakes too - gone are the XT heavyweights, and I don't miss them  :D

I believe it's the only fork with externally bulged stanchions tubes - 32 mm and 34mm at the crown for improved stifness. Mud clearance is also pretty good 👍

Yes! I tested the fork on a few rides and it works nicely!
I must say I'm positively surprised by the overal locking capability.
I really like clean bars so it's perfect for me
I'm currently playing with pressure/rebound/lockout sensivity to extract maximum performance.
Proshox makes forks in Brazil since the early 90's so they have a nice background.

They have a few interesting design ideas. Its a very strong/durable fork with excellent stifness.
I'll take more pics at home and post here!
