I just got my frame today. Can I ask how you went about routing all the cables and hydraulic hoses? Is it the tube-in kind? Or do we use the white plastic tube guides that the frame came with?

Routing the cables are very easy on the front triangle. Before building the bike, I took the cable guides off to make the hole much bigger and fed housing from the bottom and to the top. You can guide them into the top holes by reaching through the head tube with your fingers.

The rear triangle has an internal cable guide for the brake side, but on the derailleur side you'll have to use the tubes it came with or you can use a magnet to guide the steel derailleur cable in, then run the housing on it after.

I thought they changed the model number to reflect the fix?

oh ok, I missed that important info then. thanks

The newer version of the frame seems to be much more durable. I've taken it on several jump lines and some big drops. It held up fine, no cracks or any problems. Once you get the suspension dialed in, it really rips and I'm surprised it's not that popular. I'm guessing the first version has steered some people away.

Wanted to do the same thing, bit wanted to use Montana Gold instead. Also using SorayMaxx 2K Primer.
When should I use Montana Black and when Gold?

Thanks

Montana Gold is ideal as it's a low pressure can that allows a lower output and a more controlled spray. Black is high pressure can with high output, just like most aerosol paint, would cause the paint to run if you spray the surface too long.

I used black because of the colour choices. Just make sure you're using a respirator, this stuff gets everywhere. Especially the Spraymaxx 2k.

since nothing from Eddy i found some pictures

Did you find those on the Winowsport site? I tried contacting them about the frame as well. No luck. Hopefully Eddy can clear things up. I'm in no rush to buy as it's a side project but I also don't wanna waste time visualizing and figuring out parts for this build if it's not happening at all lol.

Since they posted they had a size small here, I've been doing a my own inquiries through Haideli to see if what would happen if I try to order 2 size smalls. Their first reply was that they had them in stock and ready to be painted and asked what colour I wanted.

QuoteThe S size is available.
Could you tell me what color and which country to send please?
We only ship by express now, because other standard shipping way is high cost and high risk of losing parcels.

After I confirmed the colour and destination, they sent me this.

QuoteFor the suspension frame, it is not in stock now.
other clients have paid and bought them.

and we still have make massive production now.
really sorry for this.
Could you change into other model please?

This suspension frame won't have massive production in this year.
Please know this.

XC029 and XC181 both available. and we can make chameleon color or other colors for you.

So just a heads up for people who is hoping to getting a frame this year, or maybe even next year. Communication is very vague.
From experience in ordering frames from China/Taiwan, if the mould is there and were able to sell the frames, they should be able to fulfill the order with some lead time.

Something seems off about all of this. Could be a license issue and the mould won't be open to everyone? Who knows.

May be to avoid further confusion we should all stick to the geometry sizes given in the first page, and stop doing references to s,m,l,xl given that Haideli does not use them.

The sizes s,m,l,xl are on the Geo chart on the Haideli site and doesn't record them in inches. So does the Winowsports site.

Hello all, just joined Chinertown!

Please put me down for a Medium frame. Shipping to Toronto, Canada. Unsure about the colour yet but leaning towards that desert colour from SC if anyone knows the pantone code. Thanks!
