LCFS911 full suspension

[Noniinno]

Approx. 5000 km done and dusted at last season with this frame. Installed a set of new bearings to linkages and chanced the shock upper bushing to Enduro bearings needle bearings. Still go strong to new season, frame works as a charm.

Nice, thanks for the update! Good to see it still going strong

Awesome looking frame! I want to replace my M06 with one of these.  Is the frame uber stiff or is it kinda flexy? My M06 isn't too flexy but its not the stiffest like my Sensor is.

anybody with a 911 frame running a dropper ? I'm particular interested in the seat tube max insertion for a size 15.5
Currently my wife has a M7007 and the max insertion is only 101mm. I need to get her at least a 100mm dropper however she only has 180mm of seatpost exposed.

Anyone know what derailleur hanger I can order as a back-up for the LCFS911?  Always like to have one with me.

Secondly, anyone use a trunnion mount shock on this frame?  My frame came with the trunnion bolts, but there is side to side play and I am thinking I need some sort of spacer/washer setup to go between the frame mounts and the shock.

In the final stages of my "budget" LCFS911 build light trail build.

Dropper post arrives today, need to swap rims as these cheap DT rims are portly and narrow, and these tires were the only 29er spares I had laying around and are way too sketchy.

The frame quality looks great. Unfortunately the specs on the LC website were incorrect regarding shock sizes, so this is my second shock for the build. They also forgot spacers for trunnion mounts, so I had to source them locally. They have since updated the website to have the correct information and 165 x 40 trunnion is the largest you can go. LC has been great helping make things right....would still buy from them again provided I don't crack this frame in 5 minutes.

Finally it's done.

More or less took all parts from my 2019 Scott Scale 930 and put it on this frame.
Fox Float rear shock with 3-pos lockout.

11.4 kg with heavy wheels and "only" NX groupset.

Probably quite easy to get sub 10kg.

If I was to run a 120mm Rockshox SID ultimate on the front of this, would I want a 42mm or 51mm offset?  The description says 120mm front travel, the geometry table says 100mm front and 506 AtoC and says 51mm offset.  If I add 20mmtravel/extend AtoC, do I want to change offset? 

I think by lengthening the fork I'd slacken the headtube by ~1° which would lengthen the Front Center and also increase the trail.  shortening fork offset would also lengthen trail/shorten wheelbase I think? Lengthening trail increases wheel flop, makes things more stable at high speeds straight ahead, but not as quick steering?

For me this is an excellent summary about offset : https://www.bikeradar.com/features/pushing-the-limits-of-fork-offset-an-experiment/

My test gives me the same sensation, smooth handling with shorter offset. I think 51 offset was made to lenghten the old bikes with short reach and steep head angles, it's more easy to make it turn but you get a more twitchy direction. Choose the offset that suits your style.

You're right about head angle, when you add 20mm to the fork you approximately slack by 1 degree and reduce reach by 10mm.

Saarela - is that gloss black paint or just gloss carbon finish?

Gloss black, not sure if you can get gloss carbon

 You can get clear gloss which is what he is referring to.

10.7kg  whit pedals, bottle cage and mudguard..

My first fs and build. 3h riding and everything is working perfect.
Only problem is Fox 32 performance 44offset or Reba 51mm offset..

SOOOO nice!!! did you ride it yet? How does it feel?   BB alignment ok? How much did you pay in the end? I'm reallyyy thinking about getting one of these! Thanks in advance.
