Chinese Carbon Thread

[carbon29er]

Anyone got any pending orders?  I need a new Thru Bolt.  If anyone has is about to place an order I might just get a couple for spare...

 

Thanks

I have plenty of these in 142x12. With nut.

Hi guys, has anyone ordered Carbon Rims? How will I determine what the spoke length will be if I want to order spokes?

The manufacturer will publish a ERD which is the diameter. The hub manufacturer will publish the flange diameter and flange distance. 

 

You use these to work out the length of the spokes you need by going here and using the calculator http://www.wheelpro.co.uk

So I ordered my first Carbon 30mm wide asymmetric MTB rims.

 

12 days later and it was delivered to my door! I am impressed!

 

Can't wait to build them up

Some thoughts on this frame? The seatpost is 27,2mm, so would be able to use something else. Just slightly concerned about the seatpost clamp. What do you think? Frame made by hongfu

That looks hot. Id also say TCR. What do frames cost now?

They're about $175 each or so, so add VAT and shipping. Reckon you could get them here for around R 5k.

Any suggestions on a suitable frame for a 29er SS?

 

I read on the MTBR forum that some of the "thinner" chainstay frames flex a bit when used as a SS.

 

looking at a sub 8kg build using a Beer Components EBB for tensioning.

I know its probably the wrong thread to say this, but for SS there is only one material, and that is Steel

Of course. I already have one. It's this N+1 disease...
