Make a true XL or XXL size with reach of at least 500mm. You're missing out on a huge market right now because your frames are TOO SMALL

Component Deals & Selection / Re: IIIPRO E4 4-Piston Hydraulic MTB Brakes - Are they to be trusted?
« on: September 28, 2024, 05:01:16 PM »Hi guys. I just got these for my Ariel Rider x class and love them.
But the stock pads don't handle moisture very well, so I'm looking to replace them with something better.
Are there any brandname options available for these? And what's the best outlet to purchase from?

The variant that fits your brakes is BP045. These are excellent in every way and are not phased by water. I use them on all my bikes.

Hi tantan,
There's been a trend for several years now that mountain bikes are bigger, longer and slacker. You keep making these small frames with outdated geometry. And you hardly sell any models available with XL or XXL sizes. When will you catch up?

29er / Re: LCFS948 - a new enduro from Light Carbon
« on: August 24, 2024, 07:17:45 PM »The rider is about 190lbs and we had to run a 650lb spring to get 30% sag.
I'm 185 lbs and run 450lbs springs on my Rocky Mountain bikes (which have a very favorable leverage curve) and 550 lbs on my Scott Ransom (which has a trash leverage curve). Running a spring on this frame is daring in itself, and running a 650lbs spring on a 190 lbs rider is absolutely bonkers.

170mm of travel on a 55mm stroke is crazy. You'll need to stuff a few volume spacers in the shock for sure.

My dream DIY enduro build:
- 170mm travel (or more)
- High pivot (narrow-wide cogs, standard bearing size)
- Non-trunnion shock mount, preferably 230mm eye to eye (with leverage curve suitable for coil)
- Modular geometry, which means:
- Adjustable chainstay length
- Flip chip
- Adjustable shock mount
- Adjustable headset cups (both for reach adjust and stack height)
- Compatible with DH forks

I've used gold, pink and silver Coomas. My definitive favorite is the gold version. They are simply put very, very good and compete with the best metallic pads out there.
The pink version is good as long as they do not overheat. But if they do overheat, they will abruptly glaze over and permanently loose power.
The silver version is flat out garbage and is not worth buying.

I added Ceccotti MF-05 frame to the list of candidates. It can take a 46T chainring. It has mounts for a front derailleur should I want one in the future. It is only available in max 19", but still an ok reach/stack/wheelbase for my usecase though. Fairly cheap frame at $208.

« on: December 12, 2023, 10:58:55 AM »Hi Aradell and Andrerav,
I ordered the same airwolf frame 6 weeks ago but mine is still underway. Wanted a storm bike but did not had the budget
Building a beach racer/allrounder with 42T, have a pair of carbon asymetric elite wheels and the rest of the parts are in.
For the crank I bought the rotor PF4624 BB MTB. Full XT group 12 speed with non-boost crank. So hopefully the chainline will be good.
This is my first built
Awesome, congrats!

« on: December 12, 2023, 10:56:14 AM »I was looking at the same thing, and eventually put an order in for the Airwolf YFM026. The frame will hopefully arrive by the end of January.
I'm building a beach racing bike/gravel bike based on a MTB frame. So my needs were:
- 2.35" tire clearance
- Clearance for 40+ ring
- Geometry with a "short" reach so I could run drop bars with a normal-sized stem.
It looks like a company from the Netherlands, which specializes in beach racing bikes, resells the Airwolf YFM026 as their race bikes. They have loads of pictures of this frame on their Instagram. All these bikes have 40+ chainrings.
https://www.instagram.com/stormbikesnl/
I think they chose this frame specifically because of the dropped chainstays, which allows for this bigger chainring while still having a semi-normal chainline.
I'm not 100% certain it's the exact same frame, but the geometry looks spot on, aswell as the general look of the frame.
Interesting info, thank you very much. This frame looks like a solid choice for sure, but ideally I would like something that looks slightly slimmer since I won't be running tires wider than perhaps 2.25" at most (and probably 1.5" most of the time).

« on: December 12, 2023, 10:54:34 AM »Bro, how huge are your legs that you're pushing around 40t mountain bike? Genuinely impressed and also confused on the use case. You might consider either a 2x which puts larger ring out a bit or that weird 'Classified' 2 speed hub with crazy expensive cassettes.
It's what I'm currently running on my allround hardtail, and I'm mostly happy with it but could use even higher gearing for the long asphalt stretches
A 2x up front could be an alternative, but I like the simplicity of the 1x.

29er / Frame advice - hardtail with a 40T (or more) chainring
« on: December 11, 2023, 06:53:17 PM »
Hi!
First of all, thanks for letting me join this forum. I've already trawled through a few of the threads here, and wow what a massive treasure chest of information.
I am looking for a XL sized hardtail frame (not gravel, just a regular hardtail) with the ability to fit a rather large chainring (40T or ideally 44T). So far I've eyed the following:
My findings/opinions about these frame so far:
Spcycle SP-M028
Unknown chainring capacity (question sent to seller), nice design, good geometry
Airwolf YF-M026
Max chainring 44T according to seller (after asking), bulky design, good geometry
Spcycle SP-M030
Max chainring 36T according to listing, ok design, good geometry. Might be able to fit a 40T with more offset on the chainring?
Flyxii FR-701
Unknown chainring capacity (question sent to seller), quirky design, good geometry. I guess 40T shouldn't be a problem, but with a large cassette there might be some limitations. Not a fan of the design though.
Ceccotti MF-05
46T chainring capacity according to seller, nice sleek design, somewhat cramped geometry compared to the other frames.
Seraph/TanTan FM199
According to various posts here this frame should take a 42t or possibly 44t chainring. Nice design, nice geometry. I think this might be the one.
Are there any other alternatives that you know of that I should consider looking at? It doesn't really matter if it's boost or not as long as it's a big frame (21"/XL) and can fit a 40T (or larger) chainring.
