I will order a Magene P505 on the 11.11 sale and hope it fits I dont hear otherwise.

Thank you very much!

I am also considering it for a G068 - please let me know if you think it will fit

Yes. Seems like I need a vpn. I am located in Norway, but the price is before VAT also.

2 weeks to ship, then I received it 40 days after placing the order.

Anyone have fitted a Magene P505 crank to this frame?

I see here they specifically say "Not Support T47-86.5mm and BB386 bottom bracket ！" - anyone know why?

Example this one I assume will fit into the G068 and then a Magene P505 stock should fit?

I have the G068, but not sure if it is symmetrical or not. But did you also have a hard time getting the crank through the BB? If it slid eaay i could trial and error with the spacers to see what makes sense. But I had to hammer with a rubber mallet. Also getting it out again when I saw the gaps was same struggle.

I am almost complete with my build, but I was now installing the crankset.

I have this crankset: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006733493958.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.10.f62e1802jlS1ER

But there seem to be a gap on both sides so did I order too wide crankset? Also I had to hammer it through the bottom bracket with a rubber hammer, is that normal?

Hi!

I am looking to get back into cycling after life took over for 10+ years. I did mtb active back in my youth and hopefully some of the feel is still intact.. Now I am looking for fun and excercise, nothing serious but I would like a bike that I can push a bit going downhill.

I was first looking at trail bikes like Scott Spark, Tallboy, etc and other similar 120-130mm travel bikes. But then I came across this forum and want to rather build a bike - sourcing parts and planning a build is also a lot of fun.

So far I have looked at the LCFS958 frame. Planned to have it 130/130 travel.
https://www.lightcarbon.com/all-new-lightcarbon-trail-mtb-frame-lcfs958_p118.html . I have sent emails to lightcarbon, but have not received any replies.
Anyway is this a frame you guys would recommend? Or do you have experience with other frames around 120-130mm travel that would be good?

When I go to DIYCarbon I see they have some frames that are "clones", that makes it "easier" to know how they are compared to the ones I can see and have demoed in stores, but have read they just source their frames from other providers such as Tantan or lightcarbon? Have anyone made or seen a overview of chinese frames and comparison of geo to brand bikes?
