I think I will try the conti race king 2.2 in the rear if I get the frame. But this frame is for sure my #1 option at this point in time. Once my hardtail sells, order will be placed.

Hi guys !!

I think I will order this frame in the coming days !!
You bought directly trough the workswell website ?? I found it in Aliexpress.

Regards

Just a question....in aliexpress website there are 4 BB options:

• BB30
  PF30
  BSA
  BB92

Since BB92 means that the BB frame is 92mm, you think that the frame is different (because BSA, BB30 and PF30 is 68mm). Or do you think that the use an adaptor for the BB92 ??

Hardtail sold .. now about pushing a "buy now" button. As the above post asked, what vendor did you purchase your frame from? I was looking at this one  http://www.ebay.ca/itm/15-5-17-18-5-20-MTB-29er-frame-carbon-mountain-bicycle-142mm-BB92-on-stock-/171796027814?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27ffd759a6. Any regrets on buying the workswell yet?

I bought mine on eBay. Through "hscarbonframe".

So far no regrets on the frame.

MTB BSA BB's are typically 73mm. To run a BB92 you need to use a BSA crank. A few 30mm spindle cranks have a spindle length long enough to use in a BB92 shell, like Rotor, Raceface, and E13. PF30/BB30 cranks have too short of a spindle to run a BB92.

Sorry, I still have one doubt @RS VR6
The frames for BB92 and for BSA are the same, I mean the BB zone

I'm not sure how they add the BB92 to the Chiner frames...but it looks like an extension out of the BB vs the shell actually being 92mm. The BB shell I guess is still at 73mm...but the "extensions" move it to 92mm.

I also have a Mach 5 that uses a BB92. That BB shell is actually 92mm. It uses a standard Shimano 24mm spindle crank.

I'm not sure if the extended BB on the Chiner frames add any more stiffness compared to actually having the BB shell at 92mm like the Pivot.

Edit: I looked at the 041...and even on that frame that is a BB92 only...the BB shell looks like it has the flanges that bring the width to 92mm. The shell itself looks to be at 73mm? I wonder why they just don't make the BB a full 92mm?

Black frame is the CS 041 and the blue is the Pivot Mach 5. As you can see on the Mach 5...the BB is actually 92mm. Its not extended like the 041.

The drive side and non-drive side are different on my Devinci Atlas with BB92. The drive side has the extension, and the other side does not. If you look at pictures of the 041 from both sides, it is the same. I think it's normal like that.

I know I've asked this in a couple other threads but would one of you 062 owners be kind enough to measure the CS clearance? This forum is making it harder to choose a frame.    I would like the geo numbers on this one the best so far but am nervous a 27.5+ tire won't work. I'm not looking for a huge amount of clearance, just enough to run a 2.8 would be great. Thanks

I got my Workswell 062 frame today! Beautiful!

Nsfr.. Did u get a carbon fork with your frame?

No I bought an 18.5" through axle BSA frame only.  It appears like it came with dropouts for quick release also.

Mine came with the QR dropouts installed and the TA packaged separately. I think the frame will come how you specify it and the other axle is just packaged along with it. It was a nice surprise since I thought it was something I had to buy separate if I wanted the TA axle.

Are you still waiting on parts or are you ready to build?

I haven't ordered any parts yet.  It will be a slow build as I can set funds aside for it. Maybe one of you guys wants to buy a really nice touring bike. Then I'd have some money.
