How's the ride? I'm very interested in this frame, the geometry looks really good.

29er / Re: Spcycle M016 hardtail frame builds
« on: April 09, 2023, 02:15:19 PM »What’s your plan for tensioning the chain?
The Phil Wood eccentric bottom bracket looks like the most bulletproof choice, but when I add up the $250 for the bottom bracket plus the $85 tool it makes a cheap frame kinda expensive
There is a similar product for about half the price, I don't know if you have any opinions on this? https://www.firstcomponents.com/bottom-brackets/eccentric/p237sa/ . It does look like the design has a higher risk of the set screws slipping , or stripping of the threads, but I'm no expert. The technical drawing also shows it accepts a spindle diameter of 22/24mm, which I think is GXP, and I'm not sure there's a boost option.
My other option would be a chain tensioner where a rear derailleur might go.
I tend to run either a 32x19 or a 32 x 20, a few times a year I'll race in a bigger gear if the terrain is mostly flat. How time consuming is it to change tension with the Phil Wood EBB?

« on: April 08, 2023, 12:49:19 PM »Little hiccup in the build process. Shimano Deore M6000 calipers will not work on the back end. I’ll order up some ZTTO banjo bolt kits and swap the caliper with some XT calipers that’s on another bike.
Thanks for the photo : I'm looking at this frame as my next single speed. Is there a model of rear caliper (eg Shimano M8000) that you'd recommend?

29er / Another what frame and where should I get it thread
« on: September 21, 2014, 04:27:02 PM »
Hi Guys,
Looking to drop the hammer on a new frame in the next couple of days. I've checked the specs for the IP-256 and it looks impressive. it's also ~$410. What separates this frame from a $280 carbon ebay frame (http://www.ebay.com/itm/FR-202-Full-Carbon-UD-Matt-Mountain-Bike-MTB-29ER-Frame-Headset-15-5-17-5-19-/251641721547?pt=US_Bicycles_Frames&hash=item3a9703f2cb ) ?
I should add that I'm 5'11". and a 210# Clydesdale racer. I'll be running a 1 x 10 drivetrain and may run a front chainring as big as 36 teeth.
If i go with the IP-256, who should I order it from?
Any help would be appreciated!
thanks
Iain
