Himalo Boost 27.5 Full Suspension Ep. 3

[@chickensendies]

New bolt looks much beefier! Very cool build man.

[@KeoOutdoors]

Thank's Mr. Sendies

[@jeffreyhoops3611]

Very nice! Also very safe advice. Building a bike is fun and can be a great learning experience but you have to know the point where it is more practical to buy a complete bike. The two you mentioned (and a few more) are unbeatable at their price point. Unless you’re dead set on building a unique bike these completely rule at their price point.

[@KeoOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@RomansDowntime]

Very cool video. I can agree with what you say at the end. Building a bike from scratch can be expensive. You definitely need to look at the full build price and compare it to similarly priced complete bikes imo.

[@KeoOutdoors]

Thanks Roman!

Hola, tu mismo la armaste estoy colocando los rodamientos de la horquilla 44-55 pero no entran la cazoleta...

Nice ride! and Hi there! I've been contemplating between the ICAN P1 carbon and your bike frame. I really admire the geometry of your bike. Before deciding on this frame, did you explore other options as well? Your insights would be incredibly helpful in guiding my purchase decision and bike build. Thank you!

[@1mprint29]

Did you have to pay customs for that price point from Himalo?

[@KeoOutdoors]

I didn't pay any customs to the US. I have multiple other frames and wanted to try a cheaper option. This was the only alloy option that seems to be trail worthy to me.

[@KingofStreet3]

So are the pivot bearings easy to source if they go bad? I know you said you don’t have it anymore.

[@KeoOutdoors]

Not sure, the guy i sold it to is local and has been putting a lot of miles on it with no issues yet.

[@KingofStreet3]

@@KeoOutdoors I’ll probably message the vendor later. Thanks for input and video.

[@dince4716]

I got this frame and during assembly 3 bolts snapped after torquing them to the right spec, and them i also noticed that they sent me a 12x142 frame and not a 12x148 which i ordered so yeah i am currently not so amazed by that but what can you expect for this pricepoint

[@KeoOutdoors]

The Himalo store on Aliexpress seems like the only one that would send you replacment parts.

[@gyt.usuario7400]

does it fit a 216x63 shock? I just put one on that bike and it seems to be ok but I don't know, it does not hit the frame.... everything look good but what do you think? I know the shock size is 210x55.

[@KeoOutdoors]

I haven't tried anything that long, so I'm not sure about the shock.

[@FreedomSeekers-09]

I'm having trouble finding a rear shock. Can you help with a link?

[@KeoOutdoors]

Anything with the 210mm eye to eye will work. 210x50, 210x52.5 and 210x2l55

[@FreedomSeekers-09]

Thank you I was concerned about the top and bottom bearing spacing

[@lesterromuar6176]

have you tried doing jumps with that setup? if yes how did it go

[@KeoOutdoors]

I did some drops, but no jumps. It handled the drops fine even with me at 265lbs

[@スキー魚ぁ]

I want to assemble it with Shimano Deore M6100, is it possible?

[@KeoOutdoors]

Yup

@@KeoOutdoors 　Thank you for your quick reply

[@88jbc]

Hey.. hows the frame holding up?

[@KeoOutdoors]

A buddy of mine has it now, he's been hitting a lot of PR vs his Transition Sentinel. I might get the newer model with the UDH in 29er since I have a lot of spare parts

[@insane01ful]

If u buy now what u choose 27,5 or 29?

[@KeoOutdoors]

I still prefer 27.5 but would work well with both

[@moisesgutierrezmata7602]

Hello dear, can you pass the link of the screws of the swingarm, please

[@KeoOutdoors]

I got it direct from the Himalo Store, not sure if they will supply the part if you didn't get it from them

[@88jbc]

Hey man.. i have a question.. what adapter did you buy to make your bigger rotor fit?

[@KeoOutdoors]

I ran a +23 trp post mount to run the 203mm rotors. It's a 180 post mount from the factory

[@88jbc]

@@KeoOutdoors Was it 180 post mount front and rear?

[@KeoOutdoors]

@@88jbc it was for me

[@theshedMTB]

That is some big tires! Ii dont think i could get replacement bolts or any parts for myy Chinese Twitter Tracker frame, there not real cooperative!

[@KeoOutdoors]

It took 6 months to get the replacement, which is better than nothing. Something from Walmart is much quicker

[@Tux_Appreciator]

Gone already? Feel like you just built the bike yesterday!

[@KeoOutdoors]

Yeah, it went to someone local. I might be able to make some videos with it here and there

[@スキー魚ぁ]

What mm length of brake hose did you use?

[@KeoOutdoors]

Replied to the other post

[@スキー魚ぁ]

@@KeoOutdoors 　Thank you for your kindness

[@taumax]

Would a 29" wheel fit in the rear?

[@KeoOutdoors]

No idea

[@adrianberrocal]

What is mínimum inserción dropper in medium?

[@KeoOutdoors]

Sorry, i dont remember and the frame is already sold

[@hman72y]

​@@KeoOutdoorsand there is a new version of the frame so, will not help anyway 😉

[@jacklo325]

Man, I was interested buying the frame...

[@KeoOutdoors]

My bad, i didn't know/remember you were interested. It's still local and the guy went on a couple of rides already

[@jacklo325]

@@KeoOutdoors it's all good. Would like to see it one day, maybe next time when we ride...

[@diyelectricbiker9361]

Nice Bike.

[@KeoOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@adrianberrocal]

Can i put 170 front?

[@KeoOutdoors]

Shouldnt be a problem

[@user-rl4ji5ne4o]

Warranty will go. This frame is part of a development cycle and there are currently 5 different frames after it. This model is known for the seattube to crack under the rocker. If you change the fork length you'll shorten the frame's life. There have been many changes. Different welds, different dropout section, different rocker welding position, and now the lower pivot over the BB has been brought closer to the BB. Also, (maybe hush-hush) theres a new rocker replacement (aftermarket) coming out shortly that takes greater diameter bolts to help with the overall strength of the suspension system. It should fit all models with this design (not the B2 trunion, Fire model or likely the upcoming DH model))

[@eugene44569]

2.8s are insane, i wouldve exepected 2.4 for a frame like this

[@KeoOutdoors]

Advertised as 2.5 max

[@marklouieadame]

1800 on this build? 150/160 are you kidding me that’s already an enduro specs worth 3500, even the marin alpine trail goes up $2999

[@KeoOutdoors]

I don't normally pay retail for most of my parts

[@marklouieadame]

@@KeoOutdoors ok but what you did actually gives ideas on this mind of budget build. Trail to Enduro like build setup.
