I spent a weekend building it. Going slow taking my time and playing with my feline helper. Highly recommend this rig. But this is only my second rig and miles better than my first setup.
Really solid build. Instructions could be cleaned up a bit and would love to help with that if possible. But not gonna knock a star for that because I knew that purchasing. I didn’t even need to use the FB group like others have suggested. (Was never approved to join anyway)
I came from a cheap vevor rig that squeaks when barely applying any brake pressure when it’s warm out, as well as rattled a bit with my 6nm csl elite. I should have went this route from the start. Night and day difference in terms of how solid it is and the adjustability is.
Do your self a favor and pick up some seat stands from another company if you don’t wanna be more in the formula position. (I used the ones and seat from the cheap vevor rig that will do for now.) also pick up some m8 threaded feet to lift the rig up or use some casters with locks.
Honestly wasn’t too hard to build if you’ve ever built a 3D printer or really built anything.
For the people who saying use standard measurements, no. Keep metric and use cm.
Also these “roll-in” t nuts are mid at best due to the latch they have. Ones with the ball are better, so be patient if you forgot a t nut and trying to get it in.
Id also suggest adding the extrusion endcaps to the bottom of the wheelbase uprights. That way you can slide them around a bit without scratching the frame extrusions while you get everything dialed in.
All parts were in great shape on delivery. Delivery speed was phenomenal, shipping out the same day and arriving two days later.
As for the product itself, I am EXTREMELY happy with it. There is no movement at all when playing, using a 16nm DD wheel. Looks great too, I really like the black, just be careful when making adjustments so it doesn’t scratch. Very happy overall and would highly recommend Rigmetal.
Oh! It would be nice to have labels on the different bags of parts (bolts especially). Just measuring them and labeling them myself took awhile. After that, though, was smooth sailing.
The rig itself is if pretty good quality, relatively minimal scratches on the parts and no overly sharp edges. Some parts had a grease stain but a minor issue. Comes with all the screws and t-nuts you'll need, as long as the packaging is intact.
My accessories box was ripped open, and I am missing lots of gussets. I have reached out twice through different means and have still not reached a solution. I cannot complete the rig as-is.
Excellent quality. Fast delivery. Just a great product.
The materials are rock solid and look great. The assembly instructions are a bit outdated and do not exactly march the materials ie bolt sizes and some parts have changed since the materials were produced. Would still recommend.
