In contrast the bottom bracket area is much cleaner

29er / Your thoughts on the build quality of my new frame?
« on: September 12, 2024, 06:48:35 AM »
I have an SP Cycle hardtail recently arrived.  Most of the frame appears okay, but the interior of the headtube is poorly finished.  This is in contrast with the interior of the bottom bracket which is quite smooth and well finished.

I do have the opportunity to return this frame...  would you keep it or return it?

26er & 27.5 (650b) / Re: Tideace New Mold 27.5er boost frame FM-M018

Dear All:

We got the new mold Tideace FM-M018 27.5er boost on sale.

Eddy, it looks like this frame comes in 148x12, 142x12 and 135x9 options according to your website.

A photo on one of your listings shows the dropouts are bolt on.  I'm wondering if this means a 142x12 frame could be fitted with 135x9, allowing you to swap between?

I'm interested to hear from those with this frame who may have downsized from their usual size, or picked the smaller of two sizes if you were between.  Are you happy with your decision?

Looks nice, reminds me of a Merida Ninety Six / Canyon Lux WC.

Only wish is for a slightly bigger model - 480mm reach / 640mm TT

If you made an XL size I'd certainly be interested.

Follow up on the Workswell WCB-M-336 above. 519usd plus 12usd for thru axle. Another 275usd shipping to Australia! Very expensive for a hardtail tbh.  Comes to the same price as the Planet X On One Whippet which is a Open Mould FlyBike FM916, but at least it will have a somewhat better level of support.

I haven't seen this posted here yet, but is probably the best geo I've found in an XL frame so far.

68.5 HA
74 STA
471 reach (XL)
435 chainstay

I'm so disappointed.  I put an order through to Carbonda for a FlyBike FM916 XL/21" frame, which is pretty much the only XL hardtail with somewhat modern XC geo.  Money sent, custom paint agreed, good to go.  A week after I've paid for my order they've sold it to someone else and have no more stock

Is this going to come in XL size?  I like the geo but need the next size up.

Another bump here.  I have a spare boost 29er Wheelset and some other components that I want to throw onto a frame for racing.  The Trifox looked ok but I need an XL, which they don't appear to make.
