Factor Ostro

[mgrl]

About an inch longer than yours fwiw. The Factor bar stem only being available in -6 is a big limiting factor.

Yea, a 25mm difference makes up for the saddle/bar drop pretty well I think. We'll see!

does anyone know the headtube length for a size 58? weird they dont list this..

[DanielNorway]

Hello there does anyone knows head tubes length at 54 size ???
I can’t found anywhere...

A = stack, l = BB drop, E = HT angle, K = fork length, F = fork offset

Based on geometry: HT = (A-l) / sin(E) + F * tan (90-E) - SQRT(K^2-F^2)

HT_54 = (542-70) / sin (72,5) + 48 * tan (90-72,5) - SQRT(373^2-48^2)= 140 mm

(HT_56 = 159 mm, HT_58 = 182 mm)

Can any Ostro owner confirm if the front fork can fit 140mm rotors? Tia !

Did a quick mock up.
Seems to be OK.
FWIW ordered Flicker Frameset 2/3/21 received 12/4/21.
56cm frame all hardware removed 858g.

I am running a 140mm Galfer on the front.

But power is insufficient. I only weigh 65kg but I like to brake short and hard on descents and the initial power just isn't there and what's worse, seems to fade into the descent.

The 160's I used both warped.

And impossible to buy 160 Centerlock discs at the moment.

I am too afraid to turn the bike upside down now...(bleeding issues), and I have brake rub out of saddle.

Already smoked a set of front pads in 10 weeks.....

Welcome to the wonderful world of disc brakes!

SRAM Red AXS CLD rotors are readily available.

I ordered a frameset a few weeks ago, and was told it would be delivered by end-of-May

Still no bike or eta, did you get yours?

I orderd mine mid march.

I ordered a launch full bike in Sept through my LBS. Today I got the frame set, in the wrong color, with the wrong hub body on the rear wheel. They'd told the shop in March they couldn't deliver a full bike but could ship the rolling frame set immediately, so the shop paid them for it. I guess it took ~3mo to get here, yeah right. Factor has been a huge disappointment this whole way. I get the sense the trouble point is the US distributor, but hard to say.

They'd told the shop in March they couldn't deliver a full bike at all this year but could ship the rolling frame set immediately, so the shop paid them for it.

Edited to add ... one benefit of the late delivery is I did get the updated fork. I'm also hoping they fixed the mis-drilling of the bottle cage holes specific to the 52 size, but didn't test it.

Jagwire, Hope, and Magura are available in 160mm at R2 Bike for example

The Dutch distributor isn't much better. The LBS ordered a rolling chasis because a full bike would take longer and a frame was in stock. He would get the group set form a different supplier. Both are not in yet. I still love the bike, but i'm getting a bit disappointed by now.

Wrong hub and wrong color is even worse. It almost sounds like someone has your bike and you have got his.

Still waiting, the ETA is end-of-June now, due to shortage of...well, everything, really.
