Also, would using a 51mm offset fork as opposed to a 44mm offset make a difference as far as the fork clearing the frame? Just put in an order last night and want to make sure I order the correct parts for assembly.

do you have a link to the spacer?

Here is a spacer from a local supplier.  https://www.pushys.com.au/cane-creek-0-series-plus6mm-52-40mm-alloy-crown-race.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwv_2xbiV8AIVySFgCh2A1QVfEAQYASABEgJVI_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I tried looking on ali for one and couldn't find one but that doesn't mean they aren't there, just they call them something else.

If you google crown race spacer you should find some options local to you.

I see the Hightower wont, but any idea if this close will fit an X2 rear shock?

so as far as using a 6mm crown race spacer to remedy the fork adjustment knob clearance issue, is there a tool I can use to input how this will affect the bikes geometry? I am already planning on using a fox 36 with 160mm of travel instead of 150, which should be fine, and i don't think it will be a big issue to add an additional 6mm spacer to this, but want to make sure before ordering the fork. If it will present a significant issue, I will go with the 150mm fork with the spacer instead.

You'll install it like any other crown race. It would be the equivalent of running a 166mm fork. It's up to you to decide if that's too much.

Anyone have an idea ?

Won't make any difference.

Thanks for all the help guys! Went with a 150mm fork just to be safe, and can always add the extra 10mm later on.

strongly considering two of these for next year.  Medium and Large.  But not willing to compromise adding spacers to make a stock fork work with a stock frame.

Hi everyone.
Is this frame compatible with a coil shock? I mean, that opening in the seat tube looks kinda small on some photos.
I saw a few questions about this earlier but there were no answers or I missed it.

[Confused]

Everything so far says no on the coil shock.  Also, no confirmation on whether medium and larger frames have any interference with the fork adjuster knob and the frame.

I’m in for a large. I will find out how it goes with the fork clearance with a Lyrik 160mm.

Personally for me no go on a coil is deal breaker. Well, there is always a P9 but those chainstays...
Though I'll keep an eye on the thread
