BB drop with 29inch is 30mm according to geometry chart.

not too low for mullet (27.5inch rear) set up?

I am using headset from Carbonda. question to those using same headset. do you have also such big gap between upper/lower headset and head tube?

here is summary for now.
I changed both upper and lower headset bearing from Carbonda to FSA.
By doing so gap between head tube to headset becomes less.

Carbonda upper headset does not have sealing. Thus, I will buy Ritchey  Drop in 1.5" Upper Headset or similar which has sealing between bearing and top cap since I do not plan using ACR (all internal cabling).

Hi guys,

I measured thickness with my simple caliper.
lower headset of Carbonda (52x7x45):7mm

I changed to FSA 1.5", 36Degree/45Degree ACB: 8mm thickness
FSA one can sit deeper in the frame because gradient part of the headset is longer. (see attached)

finally there is less gap for lower part. (see attached)


As for upper part I just removed 2 thin metal which helped little bit to make smaller gap. I will check other upper headset to reduce the gap. I do not see any gap at upper headset with my other 4 bikes.

thanks for the reply.

As for the upper gap, I put 2 metal thin plates. I will remove them but the metal plate is so thin to fulfill the gap. anyway I will remove and share the result later.

As for the lower gap,  fork cone is installed, and no play at the headset, and the top cap bolt is tightened enough to have no play at the headset.
I will try another fork cone which should match with the lower headset if any improvement happens.

I will update soon.

Just info for whom may be interested in.

BXT proposed me to change from BXT-117 to BXT-087. Reason is, some parts of 117 are missing to build while 087 is available and able to ship out within 2 working days.

087 has rather older geometry compared to 117. Thus, I decided to let my order canceled automatically in a few days.

They were not able to tell me why they still keep selling 117 even they can not build it though...

In 5 days it will become 120days since I ordered this frame. Shipment extension seems not anymore possible which means my order will be automatically canceled.
Honestly said I do not really understand why BXT keeps selling this frame while they even can not deliver...

can anyone tell me what is nowadays's lead time of Chiner carbon MTB frame in general?

I am asking this because BXT told me before my order purchase, "Normally about 10 working days". I feel cheated and not comfortable with this situation.

I also ordered this Frame 10, May on Aliexpress. BXT did not ship out the frame yet.
I have asked about the status, their reply is always same. "This frame is currently missing some accessories. At present, the supplier of accessories has no inventory of accessories for the time being. The factory needs to wait for the frame parts from the supplier."

According to them they also don't know when they get parts to build the frame.

I am not sure how long I should wait further or better cancel this frame.

Is there anyone having same issue?
