Got mine yesterday. :-) I understand that some people won't believe me, but UPS took three days from the store to my door in Norway!!

Decided to carmic coat it before starting the build. Has anyone used coating on Zipp xplr wheels?

Quick update on my FM336 order:

Unfortunately, they painted the wrong size frame, size L instead of the S I ordered 😅
To be fair, they noticed it themselves before shipping and informed me right away, so no wrong frame is being sent out.
They apologized and will now redo it in size S. They said it will take about 4 more days.

A bit annoying, but I'd rather wait than end up with the wrong size. At least they were honest and checked before shipping.

Back to waiting... 😄

I finally pulled the trigger and placed the order today to Jack. Payment to DE account, therefore no paymenet fee.
Now leadtime of 12 calendar days + shipping.
I will go for a UD Matt finished with clear coating, simple.

I made a decision not to buy their own handlebar since for me I would need a shorter stem: around 80-90mm.
Does someone has experience with the junction part to frame? Which spacers/system you have used?

Thanks!

What size? I ordered raw carbon with clear coat in a medium but cancelled and switched to a different frame. They may still have mine if you are a medium.

My frame - work in progress. A small delay in implementation, but it's not a problem

almost everyone does logos. You pay extra, of cause, but they make everything you like

The build has begun. Started by pulling the brake cable. But the hole inside the frame is not big enough for the brake hose.
Tried with a magnet, but there is a rim all around.
I can thread a steel wire 3mm thick. But not 5mm.  Any tips?
After 10 cm its stop.. :(

Mine is size L. I ordered UD Matt with clear coating, they did the clear coating yesterday. Shipment to be ready on the 5th May.
For shipping, how long did it take for you guys?

Thats weird. I didn't need any magnets. The cable went through easy.
