man, how is your build coming along. saw today at mtbr that lou will not fit the rear. what tires are you planning to run?

1)not all of them do. in fact i am only aware of 1 that has 120mm bb. rest of the chinese fatties,i think there are 3 of them, have 100 mm bb.
2)hub manufacturers offer caps for 190 spacing too. sarma and jade have cups for 190mm, hope can be easily converted. cheap hubs from china all come with 190mm compatible caps. no problem here at all

i have recently heard a rumor that this frame has problems with rear rotor and lockring rub, as its dropouts were not design correctly

this is a good product for chain stay protector. i have it on all of my bikes. you can either wrap the entire chain stay as it stretches a bit or just pot a strip over the top of stay.

is handlebar and seatpost from speeder too? is seatpost 31.6mm? i asked them about bars but the widest they could do was 680mm.

I'm going to use white carbon 3d helicopter tape to protect the stays and downtube and maybe the toptube.

i have used clear helicopter tape on my full susp bike frame. dont remember the gauge though. only issue i had with it was that it yellowed over time. not a big deal on some colors but quite noticeable on white frame.

i will eventually get bluto but keep rigid fork as i plan to use the bike with 29" wheels for bike touring, bikepacking, so for this purpose i will be switching to rigid. its lighter and less prone to mechanical while out there in wild.

TL, i also have same frame on order from speedercycling. shoul have it within 2 weeks. mine is 19" with 190mm rear, ud matte. i already have 90mm wheels from nextie. also in ud matte. my build is going to be simmilar to yours.
1x10 with oneup, rad cage, rf nw ring.
xt or slx brakes
rf turbine cinch, i might ponny up for next (will see)
i was going to try chineese bars but the widest they come is 680 which is narrow for me.
for hubs i decided against hope, and to go with sarma hubs. thay have 120poe.
rest will be decided along the way.

could you share some impressions on the frame?
