I bought a ZTTO PF30 cermaic BB and it was trash, one rainy Gravel fondo killed it, the bearings where rough as guts afterwards and had to be trashed.  Can anyone recommend a brand with good sealed steel bearings that last and can handle some crappy weather?

29er / Re: Airwolf YFM-026 - 1 month in

nice, thanks for the review, do you have a link to it on AE?

i'm also in North Van, i have another China 29er but its mostly set up for gravel rides (have an Evil Offering for the gnar), I have taken it down some north shore blacks but it was a bit hairy to say the least - no dropper, on the mellow stuff its fun.  I can put my Evil enduro wheelset on it if i like and it makes a world of difference.  The thing absolutely rips on gravel and i can keep up with most people on dedicated gravel bikes no problem.  The problem with it is its based on the Trek Stache and the max front chain ring is a 32 which is why i'm looking for something else, I like the sound of yours.

from what i can see with the frame is the exact same for the evolve alpha 29 (https://evolvebikes.ca/products/alpha-29#specs-geometry_1) and alpha 27.5 (https://evolvebikes.ca/products/alpha-27-5#specs-geometry_1). The 29er uses a 210x55 shock and the 27.5 uses a 216x63 shock, so the frame must be okay for the level of suspension, wonder would having 165mm with 29er wheels work?

I am currently in contact with Perry @ Ican about getting a custom painted (evil bikes my boy blue, Pantone 7466C Matte) p9.

i am looking for a touch up paint for the evil "my boy blue", did you confirm the 7466c is the correct pantone?
thanks!

This frame has a BB86 bottom bracket, and your crankset has a 30mm spindle, so this should fit:

for those that have watched the video, do all those spares come with every frame or did he order them extra?

also can someone tell me, if i have a FSA SLK BB386EVO crankset what bottom bracket do i need for this frame, i've looked at some ZTTO ones on AE and there are a bunch to choose from.  Thanks!

These look pretty good! Reviews seem ok!

Another store I have heard good things about is Diars.

i noticed they have Nox branding on the factory photos, i guess they could just be stock photo's or are we to believe these are the same rims made for Nox?

29er / Re: hardtail trail bike

sorry for the late reply

this is the answer from Chris velobuild
The M-095 can fit max 2.3" tire ,the frame boost 148 rear drop also available which can fit 3.0 ture

i have this frame, i like it but the bottom bracket is crazy low, it just doesn't work with regular 27.5" wheels and even 29er's will be hitting it on any serious downhill trails.

26er & 27.5 (650b) / thoughts on this frame for a 27.5 slackish hardtail trail bike?
« on: December 26, 2020, 02:57:36 PM »
So I have a Enduro 27.5 boost full suss bike already, my idea is to build up a hardtail that i can use for gravel/xc type stuff and move my beefy enduro wheels over for when i want to tackle something a bit more rough on it.  I can't seem to find a non fat bike slack 27.5 hardtail so i'm considering this one:

http://www.velobuildmall.com/products/2018-velobuild-carbon-fiber-mtb-275er-plus-frame-for-30-tires

or maybe one of these (same bike?):

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32843462043.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.1.346852e7sIRdhD

any thoughts or are there any other options out there i have missed, the widest tires likely to go on it are 2.6.

thanks for any help!
