That would be a massive help to me if you could

I updated the Google Drive folder with Photos of clearence with 29inch x2,4 Inch MAXXIS dhr 2. (Vivid Air rc2 216mm *63,5 mm). As you can See,there enough space and shouldnt be a Problem.

That's great thanks how do you think it affected the geometry? Did it raise the bb too high?

[Denys]

My bb hight on 27,5 650b Front and rear wheels with 29er pike  @160mm (equal to 27,5 fork @180mm that will come next season) is round about 330mm-335mm as i remember. with 29er wheels at Same Setup it should be 15-20mm Higher i think...

I dont have the best know how, which geometry values are needed or how Bad the Changes in These are for different ridng Styles. For now, i feel comfortable whith my Setup (tested at hometrails). Will also Drive in Bikepark this Weekend to See how it is. In General, the build is for Parks and Home trails, the climbing ability isnt Important to me at all...and first impressions are pretty great.

Thanks think I'm gonna try the 216x63 coil with a 170mm fork and 29er wheels, hopefully it will go well

from what i can see with the frame is the exact same for the evolve alpha 29 (https://evolvebikes.ca/products/alpha-29#specs-geometry_1) and alpha 27.5 (https://evolvebikes.ca/products/alpha-27-5#specs-geometry_1). The 29er uses a 210x55 shock and the 27.5 uses a 216x63 shock, so the frame must be okay for the level of suspension, wonder would having 165mm with 29er wheels work?

I am currently in contact with Perry @ Ican about getting a custom painted (evil bikes my boy blue, Pantone 7466C Matte) p9.

i am looking for a touch up paint for the evil "my boy blue", did you confirm the 7466c is the correct pantone?
thanks!

Anybody tried 216x63 shock on a medium frame?

Hi Gentlemen, there has been some brief mention of headset modifications on page 6, but that was just a spacer under the bottom race. I want to try modify the HA on mine and as far as I can see the only way to do this is by using the https://9point8.ca/collections/slack-r-kits

Has anyone tried something else?
