I have the winow sports version

I bought the medium and its too big for me so not sure I can give the best ride experience (going to replace it with a 258 in size small soon)

Frame build quality is decent but here are a few comments
Because of the shape of the seat tube its really hard to find a suitable dropper post (virtually zero room for size error)
Also running a mech dropper cable was annoying
You can only run a 180 rotor (it was a not so good surprise as I wanted to use 160)

im waiting for the same frame

pretty sure they are just stalling?

I was told it would be approx 1 month (which in reality means 2 months) about a month ago

I like these guys.

I have purchased one set of xc wheels and another front wheel.
Early on in the year I broke a couple of spokes and they had me sorted really quickly.

Ebay > aliexpress > bike co

Aliexpress has buyer protection but its not as good as ebay.
You can also get cash back from places like cashrewards (5% off essentially)

If I can find the same frame on aliexpress I will go this way from now on :D

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / My workswell horror story

I ordered and paid for a frame just over 3 months ago now
Nothing has been sent and I'm pretty sure I've been ripped off
Its that or this will be a new record time for slowest delivery of an open mould frame ever
I made the mistake of paying via bank transfer so i'm unable to cancel the transaction

Just a friendly heads up^^

I was hoping one might do a slightly better job of keeping water from getting to the bearings but $10 is too cheap to pass up

Maybe I could use a better grease?

I have had a quick google and found
Morris K99 Waterproof Stern Tube & Bearing Grease

Our weather has been extremely humid over the last few months when its normally dry

I recently noticed some play in my headset
I took the forks off and the bearings don't look good so i'd like to replace the whole headset.

Anyone got any tips on what to buy?
I dont mind paying a bit extra for more quality (I was using the ones that came with the bike).

my new trick that i wish i knew ages ago....

Plug all holes except for two ends then use vacuum cleaner to suck through a piece of string
tie string to hose and pull through
