Let me try to keep the thread alive with a short word of feedback to the frame after approx. 1000km down on muddy forrest roads. First of all: no knocking sounds
It's my 'winter bike' so it comes in when temperatures go down, roads go wet and with that the roadbike (also Lightcarbon) gets some rest. Furthermore, my former fully was a 90's one with the common 26" wheels underneath. I do admit, I had to get used to a 29" where you have to 'work' the steering more.
All in all I must say, the bike makes me smile. It's fairly light whilst at the other hand leaves a solid impression throughout. Both handling as well as the overall ride provide that feeling: solid. It's easy to control, not nervous, the suspension with 100mm front and rear is enough for the forrests around here. The front is stiff, the rear follows nicely. There is some bobbing uphill (lockout only front) but it's not much and easy to limit with a bit more focus on your pedaling-
Apart from a flat tyre, I had no issues with the bike (knock on wood) until now.
Keep safe.
