hi there, this is my first post, so please be gentle...I'm very frustrated with my first build, so I came here looking for help:
I recently bought my first chinese carbon frame to build a hardtail mtb. I chose FM-M009, I reckon many of you already know said frame. after the frame I bought a whole load of other parts, including just recently the xx1 eagle groupset with a 38t chainring. I had big trouble fixing the crank with this large chainring and only managed to with the help of a large spacer, which in turn totally f***ed up the chainline.
from what i can tell this frame won't even fit a 36t one, and since I mainly do long tours and not so much hillclimbing or downhill, I really want to use the 38t chainring.
so, to make it short, can you guys recommend a lightweight carbon frame I can fit a 38t chainring on?
thanks in advance! sorry if this topic already exists, I searched, but didn't really find anything...
