Congratulations on the bike. It looks great and hope you enjoy it.

Thanks this thing rides and climbs beautifully just wish it was a little more poppy

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

Sorry I'm asking a lot of questions did you grease your front through axle before you put it in and did you grease anything else? Also thank you very much man for answering all my questions sorry I comment a lot 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 One more question did you add any air pressure to the fork up front??

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

@@MTB_FANATIC99 mine had grease on it even the pedal holes but you could get a little tube just in case I did and some chain oil I figured I could apply it as needed anyway

I'm getting ready to order this bike on the 20th of this month I was going to either order this one or the syncline c3 but I'd rather order the xtrada 7 I don't want to pay an extra $300 for a carbon frame please comment back and let me know how you like it thank you sweet bike I think I'm going to get the purple and white one It looks like a good color combo

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

Love the bike it’s a medium I’m 5,9 and also ordered the white and purple one for my girlfriend lots of room for upgrades when you need to I bought from Amazon the 5050 with 30rise but it puts my hands to straight so waiting on new pnw range with I believe 38 rise and 10 degrees back sweep I’m hoping that does the trick

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

@@frostcustomwoodworks Cool thanks I appreciate it

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

The problem is not running the cable it has internal cable routing it’s the rivet that the bolt goes into it took me about 1015 minutes with an extension and a. Bit for grinding metal Picture a straw sticking in the head tube about a half inch made out of aluminum so it grinds down pretty easy and the bolt is still screwed into it just flush with the inside tube. You can’t really use it. I don’t think to mount anything, but I don’t plan on using, anything on that side anyway no damage to the tube but even if you use an external cable routing, the problem is the dropper post will not go far enough into the seat tube unless you did maybe a 100 mm dropper post

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

​​@@frostcustomwoodworksoh I see so it's the rivet that you got to drill out yeah I'm not comfortable doing that but I may see my uncle can help me or take it to the bike shop and let them do it My bike shops not expensive shit they only charge $70 to swap out forks😂❤ but I can just not run a dropper post I mean it's not that big of a deal or run an external one if needed

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

@@MTB_FANATIC99 tts not the cable that’s the problem the cable will go past that rivet it’s the post that will not drop all the way down because it hits the first rivet

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

I hope mine comes routed the proper way I really don't want to have to do a brake bleed like I said mine will be here Friday that's what the FedEx tracking says❤🎉

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

@@MTB_FANATIC99 both the gray and the white and purple were both routed correctly so you should be good it’s like they lessen to the reviews and fixed it so fingers crossed

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

@@MTB_FANATIC99 that’s awesome I have really enjoyed mine so far I would also like a new fork just to have more control over the settings and hopefully make it a little more poppy but it’s ok for now until I do

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

With the thru axle on the front it days to tighten the left side wnd then ride side or do I just tighten one side or the other?? Thats the the owners manual says sorry its me again thanks

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

When the thru axle was in I closed the Qr lever if it was loose I would open then turn the other side a little at a time and repeat the process until it felt good and tight I don’t think you need a hammer to close it but tight enough to feel like it won’t come off I’m not a professional I just had to mess with it personally I have never used one bmx had nuts lol

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

@frostcustomwoodworks My thru axle you have to tighten with an Allen key 🤣🤣

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

My through axle wasn't the same as what I've seen other people's where it has that clicky side on the other side mine doesn't mine says it's supposed to have a lock bolt on the right side of the through axle

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

It’s a weird thing you have to push in the end then slide it thru it a locking mechanism

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

Look at RY wanders video he shows it at the 17 minute mark

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

@@frostcustomwoodworks yeah I watched that video already and my through axle has to be tightened with an allen key you don't have that special lock mechanism you just put it in thread it in tighten it with an allen key

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

@@frostcustomwoodworks If I could send you a picture of it I would show you but it's way different it's like a normal old school through axle they must have changed it or something or for different size frames but his was a medium 29er I got a medium 27.5 with a 15mm through axle not a 20 mm through axle

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

Also what bars are those and what's the rise on the bars and where did you order them from? And what dropper post is that and where did you get that dropper thank you sorry for all the questions I'm ordering this bike on the 20th hoping to have it a few days after that

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

The dropper is pnw Rainer 125 mm it takes a little creativity thinking to make it work as the top cage bolt is in the way but I only plan on running one water bottle and got it on Amazon as with the pedal ,and grips same as the 5050 bars but the new pnw range I ordered from pnw online hopefully this helps would buy again

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

@frostcustomwoodworks168 yeah I was thinking about just running an external dropper post cuz I didn't want to drill the cage bolt rivets out or do you just take the actual bolts out?

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

@frostcustomwoodworks168 Ive.decided I'm going with the D6 full suspension polygon since it's on sale too and comes with a dropper post thanks dude

[@frostcustomwoodworks]

@ have a blast I’ll have to take a look at that thanks

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

​ I took back my order because I love hard tails and just not ready for a full suspension and my new xtrada 7 will be here this Friday did you have to drill the water cage bolt out? Or can you just remove it?​@@frostcustomwoodworks
