Looks like Peter, with carbon speed, has a new rig out. Appears to meet all the latest "standards" for what folks want out of a fat bike: Suspension corrected geometry, fits 4.8/5" tires, 100mm BSA. Anyone know of anyone building one yet?

CMH, They broke at the nipple. After a couple of brakes they just retensioned them and I still broke a spoke. Since the complete rebuild I haven't had any issues thus far this season and i'm logging some good miles. I'll keep you posted. Assuming no more broken spokes I love the wheels. I've got I9 hubs which are super nice.
On an additional note i'll be building a fattie for my buddy soon and will keep everyone posted w/ details when that goes down.

Fat Bikes / Q Re: 019 frame and my Nextie wheel experience

I want to be sure that the frame will clear 5" tires with 100mm rims. I've read it will w/ 80mm but i'd want 100mm rims which will widen that tire a bit.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Nextie wheels... I've been running Nextie 90mm wheels w/ good luck (around 3000 miles on them so far). The design sheds snow so they end up being functionally lighter than other rims (especially HEDs which collect lots of snow) on fluffy days. They drill the rim at odd angles making the spokes a little splayed. I broke 3 spokes last winter and had them rebuilt w/ good luck so far. I've asked several bike shops and others w/ the same wheels and they have not had the same issues so I'm thinking it was maybe just a bad wheel build the first go round? I also have the jungle fox rims but honestly didn't put enough miles on them this summer to comment.
Thanks in advance.

The build went great, no issues. Too much snow to ride it yet. Thanks for the help all.

Wow thanks Carbanazza. I will nervously proceed then. Seems like a bad design though. Do any other manufacturers put the bearings right on carbon? It will eventually develop play down the road. I'll keep everybody posted how it goes. Thanks again

It is bare carbon, the bearings fit well in them but I'm concerned that they don't sit on metal.

Thanks carbon dude. So this must not be an integrated head tube (just bare carbon in the head tube). The headset they sent didn't come with cups. What sort of cups should I purchase or should I just buy a whole new headset all together (one that comes with cups). I've never installed a headset and really don't know what I need to purchase.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Got a medium 256 build going with xo1 shifter and derailleur. xx1 cassette. carbon bar, stem, seat post from xmiplay. carbon wheels also from xmiplay w/ dt swiss 240s hubs. Raceface next sl crankset, and xt brakes
First question I have is regarding the headset. Is this an integrated headset? do the bearings just sit right on the carbon with no cups of any sort? The headset that was sent with the bike didn't have any cups. If that is the case I don't press anything I assume?
Thanks in advance

Fat Bikes / Re: List of Fat Bike Frames
« on: September 28, 2014, 11:29:04 PM »
does anyone know of a fatbike frame that has 197mm spacing in the rear and 100mm bottom bracket. All the newer US frames are built like this but chinertown rigs (and maybe Salsa) use 120mm bottom brackets unless they are using 190mm spacing in the rear then they use 100mm BB. The Fyxation Blackhawk fatbike is supposedly a generic chinertown frame with 197mm rear and 100mm bottom bracket but I don't know who is selling it (directly from China that is). Thanks for the help.

thanks guys for answering the 190mm rear through axle q... One more...
help me narrow the search. What company is making a 197mm rear with a 100mm bottom bracket. Preferably a company that is building wheels too (unless you guys want me posting a million q's on how to build wheels
)

Fat Bikes / Re: Crank for 120mm fat bike frame bottom bracket
« on: September 12, 2014, 10:23:31 AM »
Wanting to pick up a fat frame but have 2 issues/concerns with the Chinese frames.
1. All the major US carbon frames (Corvus, 907, borealis) do a 197 rear with 100mm bottom bracket. but all the 197mm rear Chinese frames do a 120mm bottom bracket. It makes sense for proper chain alignment yet US companies are not doing the 120mm bottom bracket. Does anyone notice poor chain alignment on their US frames? maybe 1x drives fix that issue? The 120mm BB limits the available cranksets and makes you pedal like a bowlegged cowboy, lending itself to potential injuries if putting in lots of miles. The 190mm rear does have a 100mm but that brings me to the second issue
2. this has been mentioned but not sufficiently answered in my mind. a 190mm rear that has a through axle? Are there many hubs available to build off this sort of wheel?
Thanks in advance for the help
PS sorry I posted this under another topic but thought it might fit better under this discussion
