CHEEB V2 Build Thread

[Rob Rides EMTB]

So my frame should be here this week And the Chinese fork / coil shock and brakes super budget build coming!

 

[Zimmerframe]

So Cheeb 2 is going to be even Cheeber ?

Do you know if that shock is compatible/rated for use with bikes with shock extenders ? I can see a lot of Gen-3 S-Works levo owners wanting to give it a go.

LOL. I'm already scared of that shock.

LOL. I'm already scared of that shock.

Get @Doomanic to test it ! He has a reputation for, as the French would say, having a hedgehog in his pocket ... I suspect it will be in his price bracket once it's had "General" oversight anyway.

 

[Zimmerframe]

I saw this the other day, making the springs for the e-bike version of the EXT shock for larger riders ..

 

[Neeko DeVinchi]

Knock em dead with your new build @Rob Rides EMTB.
Looking forward to seeing what you can turn out with a budget mate ??

LOL. I'm already scared of that shock.

I've had one of those shocks and until it collided with my homemade battery mount and smashed the blue top off of the smaller chamber, it wasn't too bad, I mean not fox/rockshox level, but pretty solid for the price.

(I stupidly made the mount out of aluminium that was too thin and it bent backwards on a big huck to flat).

Looking forward to the story unfolding, as I'm really enjoying my Cheeb V1 (after a long wait for delivery)

What going on with those forks? The lowers look like the legs are different lengths…

Hedgehog in my pocket? What does that even mean? You garlic munching surrender monkeys are odd.

The general only gets to hear about the big purchases, a shock wouldn’t even register, especially a budget one. That being said, I wouldn’t trust it as a paperweight, never mind on an actual bike!

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Holy imitation Lefty, Batman! Let's hope that's an optical illusion!!!

 

[Roy68]

I hope you're doing a cheap Chinese drivetrain too?
ZTTO cassette, Sensa derailleur etc.

 

[Wax]

[savas]

[RustyMTB]

I'm sure I've seen something where Jordi Cortes discusses asymmetric forks but can't for the life of me remember where. That thing does look like it's irredeemably on the slant though.

 

[Neeko DeVinchi]

Pissed myself laughing after seeing your comment Rob.
Fair play ?

@Rob Rides EMTB Where did you get your riderever brakes?

 

[Dirtnvert]

Cant wait to see the build. Be nice to have a cheeb backup bike, I think surron's came with dnm rear shocks. Used to see them on bargain frames years ago like khs and others. Wouldnt think theyll be ext level for sure but they must hold up for a bit if surron would spec them on a 150lb e moto. Chinese forks though?!? Idk. Sending vibes buddy! Tread lightly. Prob fine but id keep an eye and ear on them

 

[Waynemarlow]

A friend builds skibikes with the DNM shocks and rates them highly considering the arduous conditions they have to work in.

Wish a few would take the anything labelled "made in China " without a famous brand logo is crap blinkers off, and realise that all your branded items that you rate so highly, are made in China and yet you continue to pay premium money for them.

 

[markvanhaze77]

But you can't show off in the pub with DNMs.

 

[Dirtnvert]

Minnaar puzzles with dnm. Just a fox sticker. All the same

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Frame arrived and pre painted by the factory

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I cannot believe how they’ve matched the frame colour to my original diy job. It is literally the exact same purple flip. I’m not a paint expert, but how they matched it by just watching a YouTube video is crazy.

Maybe it’s a generic flip paint that’s common, or purely a coincidence. But fair play, I actually thought I was unwrapping my original stripped down frame!

 

[savas]

you have opted for the same size as the old one?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

you have opted for the same size as the old one?

Yes but will run this 150 fork 150 rear and 29er

Ask someone who buys in bulk from China how hard they have to work to keep the quality the same as the engineering samples. The Chinese will send any old crap out the door if they think they can get away with it.

There are YouTube videos of cheap Chinese Fox and RockShox copies being chopped up to show just how shite they are.

This ZTTO fork is 150mm?
I only saw 120mm on ali

Not gonna lie they look cheap, we will see how they work…
