I could only find this description of is42 and is52 for Cane Creek headsets... How about FSA? Their website is rubbish, I can't even find a guide or sort of chart to select the properly one !!

I bought the exactly fork (Rock Shox Reba 29 100 mm ) but now (as always  :D ) i got stuck choosing the headset... I know it has to be tappered, but there are many options, brands and other measures that i can find a website resuming them !!! Can anyone clarify that for me ?
Cheers

Hi mates,
Now that you have been riding this bike for a considerable time, what is your feedback for these wheels ? They are so light I thought they were made of carbon...I have been searching (whitout success though) a good pair of wheels but don't have a final idea which one to buy

Yeah, you are right mate...I have changed the tyres and yesterday I found good prince at a french website so Nobby Nic was my option !  :)
Have you guys had any experience with ergo grips ? I am still stuck with the wheels  >:( , can find good info (guide, reviews)...

Lets say I have got a quiet good budget, so, I have been looking for DT Swiss and Shimano...But no decision has come out
#7
I have chosen this one EC90 XC Carbon from Easton... It seems to fit what I am looking for !
Almost done with my bike , only component that I still have no idea are the wheels :(
#8
Ok, you are right...I have changed here
How about wheels, any suggestion ? I am still not sure about the handlebar (Flat or riser)...
Cheers

Hi mates,
Nice to have a forum that discuss and share knowledge about chinese frames and mtb in general... I had been looking for frames for a quite long time and decided to get a IP-256 SL from iPlay (Why? Most of internet users over forums have them and are always posting positive feedbacks). My frame is about to arrive and I bought all the components as well...I will post photos of the bike built as soon as I get everything ! My priority was both weight and quality and I set as a budget limit around 2500 AU. The component's decision were based on thoroughly search from buying guides (bike radar, bycicling.com) and some threads of this forum. I am around 1,80 m and my mtb style is XC (Also a good advice is to before starting build the bike, have a deep look at your measures and put on the paper).

Frame : IP-256 SL
Fork : Rock Shox Reba RL 100mm
Wheel set: DT Swiss 1700
Groupset: XT Shimano (Probably the one that gave me most headaches as long as I decided to buy the components separetly which is CHEAPER)
Stem, Headset, Handlebar,Top cap : All of them I bought from the same brand (FSA)
Tyres : Schwalbe Smart Sam
Saddle and Seatpost: Ritchey
Others : Brake liquid, cables, protector tapes, chainsuck protector (from iPlay)

My advices for those who are building their bikes are :
Look at the thread from Mtb2223 which it is even more complete in terms of weight and components in general.
Use youtube and trustworthy websites as a buyer's guide, or ask for the fellows of this forum.
Careful with measures

Cheers,
