Full Suspension Frame
-
After the first 1000km in the cold and wet German winter I can report: The frame was a good choice :)Only the cable routing is not optimal, but it works.

The package arrived less than a month after the order. Packaging, accessories, everything is fine. The rear axle has a short thread, I had to use a copper washer to properly screw the frame to the wheel. Another problem was the shock absorber, which did not fit into the mount, about 2-3 mm was missing for the screw to pass through the mount. The only solution was to grind and slightly bend the cable mount to the shock absorber (the shock absorber is a dedicated fox for orbea oiz frames). Internal cable routing does not make life easier either :)The bike weighed 11 kg, it will be a bit less on lighter tires (currently rekon race 2.35)if you have any questions, write to bists13@gmail.com

The frame seems to be well made and according to the specified weight, anyhow I have a few points for consideration 1. The distances and spacers between main rear triangle and bearings shall be more thought and equal (e g. Two spacers is hard to align, and the bearings are exposed to elements while riding), 2 there are no plugs included to cover massive cable holes in rear triangle and the frame - I had to glue silicone seal like in spec or orbea to prevent letting in the water and dust. The plugs are not included as well to close rear derailleur hole in case of axs use, 3. The headset included in the set is useless - cables are going under the steam directly and it means tons (a few cm) spacers or you need better headset - in my case across did the trick, 4. The rear axle has different thread (1.5 I believe) than screw attached to UDH (1mm in standard) so I had to buy non-stsbdard UDH screw or new rear axle).
