you only need that tight to preload the headset bearings but after you tighten down the stem it really doesnt matter if it slips a bit as long as the expander plug is still going the full length of the stem to stop the stem from crushing your steerer tube.

Of course, if you got any quality issue, feel free to contact me via email.

I have. You ignore any emails mentioning a warranty issue I send to you even after I provided proof. You said you need to talk to “engineers” and didn’t respond for 3 weeks. Then instead of replacing the damaged frame due to factory defects, you said you will give me a discount on the new rear triangle but with your “discount” and shipping I will be paying more than another member here who purchased at full price and paid shipping when it was more expensive. It comes out to $260 total with no paint. I checked and the other member stated they paid 270, with paint.

Also please stop acting like there was no issue. Otherwise you wouldn’t develop a new rear triangle. Moulds and production cost money and you are clearly very money hungry , so I doubt you would waste it on a new rear triangle if it wasn’t needed. The rear seat stays flex and the bearing has too much movement connecting the rear triangle to the upper link. If you want to keep pretending like nothing was wrong , feel free to read through the last half of this thread to learn more about it. I’m sure you will also come across the comments of people who you told would be receiving a frame with updated new rear triangle but didn’t

Just in case you miss it I attached a picture of a comment by someone who was injured and broke their bone because of the issue

Did you ever ride it with the 36 on it?  I'm curious to hear your comparison between the Durolux and the 36 when tested on the same bike and same trails.

Unfortunately I can’t ride the bike to test the difference. The rear triangle rubs the frame and it’s already gone through the paint. They won’t warranty the frame , actually they refuse any help. So I’m waiting on the new bolts to hopefully fix this rub so I can ride it again. Im afraid if I keep riding the frame it’s going to go through carbon and I’ll be completely out of a bike.

what size are your rear tires? how's the clearance? looking into building 27.5 as well instead of the 29er

Both front and rear are 2.5” and there’s plenty of clearance

Sorry, my words were unclear and I mislead you. I was wondering aloud about what the ballpark for opening a frame mould would be. If I were to go ahead, it'd be with the Workswell 369 and not this Velobuild 099.

It makes me think though, a group of us could get together and structure any potential deal like a group buy. Forum special edition framesets anyone? I've actually participated in something like this in the past but with watches so it's doable albeit very hard work.

It’s about $10,000 per mould per size. That’s just the mould cost, you’d still have to pay someone for materials and labor to manufacture the frame.

This is Haideli(Tideace) Privated Mold, so others would not sell this mold, thanks for supporting.

Thanks for saving me time. Looks like I’ll find another frame then.

...They do make your butt look dumpy though, like you are wearing depends. Lol
Guess its fine under shorts though

Hahah they really do! That was the free product available in my area last time . I wear them under pants when I mountain biking . I couldn’t wear them alone when I saw how ridiculous I looked from the back lol
