eins4eins, if this frame/fork can take the 2.4 Scorpion XC RH with some minimal clearance, that changes everything for me! :o

Can you please clarify why you stated that they would probably fit? Thanks.

The pathfinders measure 57mm. Theres lots of room for 1.5-2mm more on each side.

I received a video of my updated fork overnight with no rivets so hopefully should be shipping out this week.

How much to ship a matching sticker sheet to Australia? I love the Wyde branding!

Message me your mail adress and i sent you the file. Then you can get a shop in Aus to cut them for you.

what type of headset is it then? acr compatible?

Frame comes with a proprietary headset, but the bearing is IS52 standard and you can use all kinds of covers with it. I chose a Acros cover with their compression ring, but FSA ACR will also work.

Looks great, but I would need L. What other frame did you order ?

Kanzo Fast 2.


I built the FM376 up today, as a friend will take it.
- Rear brake hose took forever to get through the chain stay. Something was blocking it.
- Rear brake mount needed facing.
- Lower headset bearing needs a cone spacer (that comes with the frame). The bearing sits too deep in the frame for a standard height bearing for whatever reason?!

Good then, i ordered an L so i figure there is a little more space for bigger bottles.
So you're selling; why the stickers then? Probably better to let a new rider customize the frame themselves?

i had another look and its possible to turn the storage cover 180°. That allows moving down the bottle cage 2-3cm and will give more room.

Stickers can easily be removed and i wanted at least to see what i could look like.

Its a MEDIUM size frame. A big bottle will at least touch a framebag in this size i assume. The downtube cage rives are higher than on other frames.


If someone in Europe is interested in my frame, i'm willing to sell it. Immediate availability.
I just put in an order for another bike and probably won't build up the FM376 anymore.

Frame is here. Everything looking fine. Bottom bracket screwed in super smooth, seatpost and storage cover fit snug and tight, frame looks clean on the inside.
All parts included. Didn't weigh anything because is really don't care.
Without any stickers, its looks boing. So i made some graphics. Gonna call it WYDE.

The pathfinder tires measure 56,5-57mm and have huge clearance. Threw in the 61mm mtb wheels and they would probably fit as well.

Please let me ask: Can the storage compartment still be opened if a bottle cage is mounted on the down tube? Or are there bottle cages that extend upward? Otherwise, Fidlock works too, of course.

In general, though, I really like it when the bottle cage isn’t mounted on the storage flap. That’s why I find this frame interesting.

I assume you can't take off the cover if the bottle cage overlaps, as it opens from the top. Maybe its possible to turn the cover 180° to make it slide out towards the bottom bracket.


Tracking of my frame shows it in custom clearance process for the fifth day now. Not sure if it really hasn't moved or if the tracking with this number just ended there. I have another DPD tracking number, but it doesn't show anything yet.
Patience is not a strength of mine.

I've been riding chinese wheels for years on the road, mtb and gravel bike. Over 500km per week, all year round, high absolute power. BTLOS, Lightbicycle, Nextie, Serenade and also Elitewheels. Carbon spokes as well as steel. Never has a hub failed on me. Bearings gone bad, spokes broke, but never the hub itself.
So would be interesting what failing during testing means?

I had similar plans and was set on buying a GRT once released. But the price doesn't match the package. Its very pricey for a unproven product and the chainring topic has shown that they haven't figured everything out yet. I'd rather wait another season and let other do the beta testing.

He send me the same exact picture. Did you also order size M?

Looks good. Was it actually shipped already?
Last Friday they sent me a photo of a freshly painted batch of frames straight from the oven, telling mine would be sent by Sunday. I gave a specific checklist of things to check during QC and now they need some more additional time "to fix some places" :D The frame better be mint.

I had already cancelled my order after Jack told me it will take significantly more time than he initially said. But a day later he send a picture of my frame, saying it can ship on sunday and offered a small discount if i reconsider. I did and tracking shows the frame is on its way since monday. I expect it to be at my door next week.

Is UD raw glossy less robust than the painted uni-color?

UD raw is also clear coated. Doesn't make a difference.

14
Size M

I need less stack and will probably run a separate bar and stem with -12 or -17°. Unfortunately Jack couldn't give details of the headset or dimensions, so need to wait until the frame is here, to figure out what fits.

Nice looking frame! UD raw carbon glossy finish, right?

Correct. I don't like the empty downtube, so need to think about a name and logo for it.
