what did you run for a front and rear hub ? size and brand ? 190mm rear but front? starting my first build soon..
Tybiker, I'm looking for info on running the rear derailleur and rear brake lines. Are there sleeves? Any difficulties? Do they rattle?
Sleeves? Do you mean internal guide sleeves? There aren't any of those, but there are plastic removable caps where the routing goes, which makes it easier to find the loose end when pushing through the frame. Mine have never rattled.
Yes, guide sleeves.
My 197 is in transit.
How did you get the brake and cable lines through the holes in the frame?
Is there access on the underside of the BB?
There isn't access, but there is a lot of room on the inside of the frame near the bottom bracket. I just used a small metal hook and helped it through with the bottom bracket uninstalled. Takes a minute, but it's really not that bad. I started from the bottom of the chainstay and worked up towards the head tube.
Cool.
How long did shipping take once it got to the shipper?
Thanks for the information !
Think I'll give the gravel bike frame from CS a try. Is it also worth getting them painted by CS ?

Hello
I have been following this forum for a while, and I am ready to order my own 496, so I can share and swap wheels back and forth with my full suspension 29/27.5+ depending on the kind of riding.
Now, i am confused, the Peter everybody says is so good, is he at carbonspeedbikes or at xmcarbonspeed? Or both?
And the other question is about the bottom bracket, many say that they had to go with the press fit, but I see carbonspeedbikes and somebody in aliexpress offer the option for different ones (but not xmcarbonspeed) . I would try to go with the threaded BSA 73
Thanks,
Ale

Does the fat bike ride on snow compare to something like mild mud, or sand, or... ?
I tried to ride on the snow with 2.25 tires recently and it is much harder to fight the snow than anything else.
It is like if I was braking while pedalling.
What about the wheels. Says it comes with carbon wheels, anyone ever run carbon fat wheels?
