cklein FM-M009 build

[cklein]

Ok, the first order is at home and I show you some pictures

[Jar_head]

That's frame is light  Looks good so far! What seatpost and saddle do you have there?

[cklein]

It's an old seat post from china. Diameter is to small so the post doesn't fit. And the saddle is also from china and an older one. It's just in the frame for building. The new is on the way.

[SportingGoods]

Agreed, that frame is extremely light. The bars too (hopefully not too much).

Do you have multiple dropouts for the frame? I see the fork is through axle but the frame is QR.

[cklein]

Yes, there are also axle dropouts for the frame.
I have the first problem. Today I was looking for the hole where the brake cable comes out.

sorry for the bad quality.

I need a bigger hole for the cable. What can I do. Can I make with a drill a bigger hole? (the hole in the middle of the picture, where the cable comes out of the frame)

[Jar_head]

The brake hose really doesn't fit in the hole? Or is there any plug at the end of the hose? If so, I would remove this instead of drilling the hole wider. But that should work as well...

[cklein]

There is no plug.  Tomorrow I'll show you the problem with another picture.

[Carbon_Dude]

Is there just a bit of material that needs to be cleaned out at the entrance/exit of the hole?  It's very rare for the brake line not to fit in the intended internal brake routing passage.  Make sure you feed the line from the caliper end up to the top tube.

[cklein]

So, on this pictures you can see what I mean. The hose you see is from a normal brake without fluid

[SportingGoods]

I can't see any problem from this picture. Well, maybe you feed the hose at an angle. I feed mine straight along the chainstay.

Would a smaller tube go through?
Have you tried to blow compressed air into the hole? Is there something stuck in there? Blow 8 bars into it, from the opposite side. Another option is to feed a cable, from the opposite side as well, to push anything that would be in the line.

[cklein]

Sorry, my english is not the best so I have to describe in my own words.

There is no way to put the hose into the hole. The angle is not the problem, the hole is to small. In the afternoon I´ll try it again.

[SportingGoods]

It really doesn't look like there is much missing to go through. It's probably just the entrance. I would gently drill, at slow speed, as straight as possible, the first 2 cm.

Ok, today I spend some time in the garage.
The hose from the shifters to the derailleurs are installed.
My "mechanic" helps me in with the cable for the brake.
No I have the problem that the switching eye don't work with the XT m8000 derailleur
I'll ask the Chinese dealer to help me. Maybe he knows which I need.

[cklein]

This is  screenshot from the workswell thread. This switching eye looks like there is an adaptation. I think I need this. What is it?





This is my derailleur. Looks different and I think that's the problem.
