I have these for like 900kms - the only issue was that after first 50kms one tube had a hole near the valve - I just put normal glued patch to it and it works like a charm!

Aaaah... these youngsters do not remember we were riding 72ยบ HA not so long ago  ;D

Haha! No, think about it this way - I've been riding on 71 HA for "few" years and now I have tasted the progressive geometry - don't want to go back :)

Sorry but 69 HA angle is nothing near "modern" or "progressive" geometry :(

Yeah, but saw one cracked here on forums, also it's ugly :(

Any new HTs with modern geometry? I'm looking for something like BMC twostroke

Little post about electronic devices from me:

Thinkrider X7 Pro V3 - version with up to 8% grade, already did 3000km+ on Zwift - works flawlessly :)

Any opinions Matt?

Any pictures of CFR-1056 with integrated handlebar with hidden cables?

Hello :)

This is my oldschool (lmao) 26" bike I built month ago. Ordered frame from flyxii, it took 3 weeks to come to Poland. Only problem I had was with headset - ordered it by myself - NECO H373 didn't fit well, had to replace the top spacer - FSA one did the work...

I have checked the weight of 90% of parts, some are not weighed - approx. weight is about 9.55kg

Short specification:

Suspension
My old (but gold) Rock Shox SID Race, it's in brilliant condition, done service this year - working great

Drivetrain
I bought new SLX M7000 GS-11spd derailleur and set it with my 10spd Sunrace MX3 11-42 cassette - works perfect, shifter is deore 10spd, cranks are standard Shimano HT2 with HCC Components 34T chainring (also have chinese 30t for some tougher terrain)

Wheelset
ZTR Alpine + XT hub front - about 600g, rear is ZTR Crest + SLX hub - don't know the weight - wheels were build by bargains found on local "ebay" in time when 29" boom came, a lot of ppl were selling 26" parts very cheap - I weight 75kg, they saw mountains couple of times and no problems at all

Tires
Front - Mitas Scylla 2.25 tubeless incoming, at the picture - S-works ground control 1.9 (sic!), rear - Racing Ralph 2.1 tubeless

Brakes
Front - brand new Deore m6000, Rear - M675 lever + M665 caliper

Other parts
Tomtou seatpost - I'm really impressed by production quality, on last bike I had some "replica" of Ritchey and it looked like crap
Tideace handlebar 720mm - it's okay
ESI grips - love them, tried the chinese replicas but they sucks, maybe somebody has a better chinese source of them?
Rockbros bottle holder


What's next?

I'd like to order some chinese carbon saddle - actual one doesn't fit to the rest of the bike (colour) also it weights about 260g, however I'm afraid if it wont crack - I weigh 75kg + backpack
Stem has to be changed, crappy counterfeit of Ritchey, weights a lot, looks shitty
I plan to go into 1x11 next season with 11-46 (or even 11-50 if SLX will handle it)

I have no "cap" under my BB so all mud goes through the derailleur link, is this normal? I will make picture today and add here, maybe someone have any idea how to fix it?



Cheers!

I just logged in to say "wow", I love when somebody assemble the bike and then ride it like it should be ridden (in mountains), anything new on your M062 build?
