Thanks mate! To be clear, I'm not posting this to complain. I'm posting this to get feedback from someone with more experience. I don't care about the paint on the chainstay; I saw that when I bought the frame. It's not that visible unless you look for it, and the chainstay protector will cover...

The reason I wrote all that is because this is my building thread, and I'm sharing everything related to that, not because I want to complain. I got unlucky with the frame, and I'm a bit upset, I think that's understandable. Also, most of the stuff I pointed out wasn't visible without tearing...

Chili Shen confirmed that the torques specs for the e82 are the same for the e10 (picture above). A bunch of not-so-good updates: I took apart the frame and removed the old bearings. Some were completely locked, but they returned to work after I pulled them out. I guess the puller unlocked...

Ok bois, back on track. I will start building soon, in the meantime, here are some photos. This thing looks sick. Pedals look good as well. Very smooth, no play. No fancy concave design. Three bearings. Seems to be good quality. Has different density zones (some are harder, some...

This doesn't really surprise me. What does surprise me is that someone who does 9m jumps would entrust his life to a Chinese frame. The warranty thing is nothing new either.

I already have the frame, mate. I'm a noob, I won't be doing any crazy dh riding or jumping so I think I'll be fine. What company do you have in mind? From what I know, only Chinese companies sell frames for Bafang mid-drive motors and I don't really trust any of them.

Thanks for the heads-up. I could only find the post from a single guy, though. And he does some hardcore DH stuff and 9m jumps. I might take it to someone who fixes carbon frames to plug the keyhole. I wanted to repaint the frame anyway.

Thanks a lot for the help, mate! I'll keep you updated for sure.

I excluded the IIIPro because I don't know if I can trust them with the warranty should I need it. Ultimately, I decided to go with Shimano because I read that Magura levers are prone to failure. I thought about this, and I think you are right. However, I believe that the saddle choice is very...

Ok, so final components: As always, suggestions are welcome. I decided to go with the rockshox coil because the price is too good to be ignored. The Marzocchi didn't go on sale, in fact, the price increased to 333€. Some of the pivot bearings feel rough, so I decided to replace...

Maybe I should add a front derailleur 😂

ok, thanks mate, I'll look into that. I bought a used frame that has the headset already installed. to service the wheel hub bearings. I saw it here: also: It doesn't but do I still need that if the headset is already installed? You only need to change the bearings when you service it...

Aliexpress Shopping List Parts: Tools: Things I already have: Things I need to add to the shopping list: shifting cables bike lights mudguards frame protective tape puncture repaire kit phone holder chainring The cart is at 440€. I need to get it to 500€ so I can...

Just arrived :) I want to buy the IIIpro iv4r brakes. They come with a 145mm long rear hose. Does anyone know if that's long enough?

Have you tried the e4 with 2.3mm rotors? I asked Onirii and they said it's not compatible, max is 2mm. I bought the fork :) It's surprisingly hard to find this info but this guy said it's aluminium: I guess you could check using a magnet. However, If you say it's strong enough, I'll trust...

Should I pull the trigger on this one? The Marzocchi cr is 330€. I found this z1. New 310€ shipped. I already have a exa dropper that came with the frame but good to know in case I decide to upgrade. aliexpress should do their usual 11.11 promotions. I will buy a bunch of stuff.

This looks like a good deal: What do you think? I used this to calculate the coil hardness. It suggests 400. I weight 80kg. Something to consider: coil shocks might not be the best choice for bikes with strut/yoke designs because these designs put extra stress on the shock...

these ones? this doesn't sound good. I'll have to try it and see if I can live with it. I would like to replicate your setup but the marzocchi is a bit too expensive. I could only find these used shocks with that size: 1. Fox float x (200€) 2. Rock Shox Monarchplus RC3 HV (100€) 3...

Are there cons with going 170mm on the rear? I guess you loose efficiency but that doesn't matter too much on an e-bike. Anything else?

I made an edit to the original post and now it says "Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly." Maybe that's why.
