Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / E-Gravel Frame similar to CF Racer or LeMond Prolog
« on: June 29, 2025, 01:40:08 PM »
Anyone run across carbon road/gravel frame similar to the Ride1Up CF Racer or Lemond Prolog (see photo). These frames have room for battery inside the frame and use a hub motor, very stealthy...

Took advantage of the Ali express sales and grabbed some Airwolf 35mm x 20m DT240 Xray spokes 1200g wheels. So the build weight on paper is looking ~ 8.8kg. Thanks for all the suggestions.

t has been posted by a couple of guys these last few days that they don’t do direct to customer anymore. Get from elite wheels or covet (their new brand apparently) on AliExpress.

Thanks, I reached out to Elite Wheels. Could not find 33mm wide 29er wheels at <1300g online (1500g was the lightest) but hoping can find some 1280g wheels like you did.

Ludo; Do you have a contact (email) of someone at Yuan An wheels? I have sent them inquiries via their website but getting no replies.  Are you still happy with the wheels you got from them. Thanks

No opening but the frame come with headset cover meant to be used with regular stem, the cover has 3 holes in it to run you cabling through it

Thank you

How does cable routing work if I use a standard stem and handle bar rather than a single piece handlebar/stem combination? Are there other openings in the frame for the cables or only through an integrated bar/stem headset?

I now put a screw on BB92 (where the 2 half screw together, I think it’s a good solution for this frame

Thanks, but I don't get what you mean? How does a screw solve the problem of oversized opening in the frame for press fit BB92?

First let me thank the members of the forum for all the help.

Based on the input I have gotten I am getting ready to order 2 SP-M06 frames (one for me and one for my wife) size S and Medium. I initially was leaning toward the SP-M016 frame as it seemed like a more all mountain geometry, but it has been discontinued and the M06 frame seems versatile and getting good reviews.

Components I am thinking of using. Let me know if any of these don't seem compatible or bad choice

SP-M06 Frame
Shimano XT-M8100 1x12 group set
RockShox Sid Select RL TwistLoc Forks - 29" x 120mm
Chainset: Shimano XT M8100 -  30T / 170mm
Bottom Bracket: Shimano MT800 Press-fit
Cassette: Shimano XT M8100 10/51T - 12 speed
Chain: Shimano XT M8100 - 12 Speed - 114 Links
Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT M8100 - 12 Speed
Gear Lever: Shimano XT M8100 I-Spec EV mount
Disc Brakes: Shimano XT M8100 centrelock front (850mm) & rear (1600mm)
MT800 Rotors  180mm Front - 160mm Rear
Yuan AN 29er 36mm width 24mm depth Asymmetric rims M14 hub (Thanks Ludo)
Syncros Fraser IC SL 740mmx70mm handlebar (Thanks Ludo)
Dropper post, saddle, pedals : TBD

Considering that most of the time I am pedaling hard is when I am going uphill in the larger Cogs (51,45), and hardly ever use the smaller Cogs then having the chain line 3mm closer in might actually be better in my situation as it moves the chainline closer to the larger cogs. Assuming there there is sufficient clearance for the front chainring, which with a 30T front I would hope there is...

Does that make sense or do I not understand what chainline is all about.

Ok, 55mm chain line.

I can get a great deal on XT-M8100 group set right now with 52mm chain line so would love to be able to use the M8100 crank.   Can I get 3mm spacers to move the chainring out slightly or is it not so simple? How big a deal is having the chain perfect for a recreational rider?

I feel like 30-52 is really to climb walls

Yea, getting old and live in the NW and some of the climbs are at my limit.  Can you elaborate on the 6mm offset? Does this mean that the standard crankset that comes with XT-M8100 groupset won't work?

Thanks

Seems like a lot of folks racing with the M06 frame.  Curious if this frame is also a good choice for recreational trail riding. Nothing radical, I will keep my full suspension bike for that, but a good choice for long assents and flowing descents which are typical of where I ride.

Was thinking of using a Shimano XT M8100 complete group set (30T, 170mm cranks)...will that work with this frame.

Thanks in advance.

29er / Top picks for relaxed geometry lightweight hardtail Trail
« on: July 12, 2022, 02:41:53 PM »
Its been a couple of years since I built my last "Chinertown" carbon bike,  have not kept up with recent frames and looking for suggestions of frames to consider.

I am looking to build a pair of hardtails (for my wife and I) for trail/all mountain riding. Wishlist includes lightweight frame (<1200g), relaxed geometry (66-68 degrees) and able to run 2.4 to 2.6" tires (29 or 27.5) 120mm front shock.

What should I take a look at?

Thanks

Greatly appreciate the replies!

So are the FM-909 and FM-936 basically the same frame geometry, just different weights, or am I missing some other aspects that makes these frames different?

Geo looks the same.   936 is a rocker link vs the swing link of the 909, so the 909 has 2 bottle mounts in the front triangle.  Looks like the 909 has shorter seat tubes than the same size 936 as well.  909 has mounts for a chain retention device.  Seat tube diameter is diff too.

Thanks! I don't know enough to understand the tradeoffs between rocker vs swing (other than room for 2 water bottles). If there is a link to a good explanation would like to learn.
