Cool, thanks. I can’t make one! Wing did tell me the axle had been updated so hope this is sorted also. Don’t think mine has been sent yet.

Kind of :), but looks nice. I am also thinking about the usual foil. I have an original one on my previous bike and it protects very well, and it is practically invisible. Look at pictures.
Something like that:

To protect the frame, I use material
Waterproofing tape Cotran KC80. If it is properly glued, then it will look decent. By weight, everything that I put on added +100 grams.

I added a link to the album, because I can not attach photos here =(

Looks like a repair patch over a void or deficiency.

What a shock bushing dimension required (or fox part number)? Can't find it on a frame drawing.

I can feedback for Rockshox Sidluxe: Ordered a 8 x 30mm shock bushing set.

I do not know what diameter you have in the fox, if the same as in the rock shox, i.e. 8 mm, the length is 30 mm, I think it will be ok:
For rock shox:

For fox:

Both are in stock for now. I bougt it for myself from them for my rock shox.

Yes, thank you, I thought about this kit, but there were doubts. Because Fox has very similar sizes as 29.97 etc. And 8mm is a frame bolt size, not the shock.
Bought the OEM Trek shock and found an incompatibility only when trying to assemble the frame  ;D

Upd.
Decided to use a lathe and reduce the current kit. )))

Sons been riding hos now aince Christmas.  So far no real issues.  Here is a video of him descending dkwn a local trail tjat is generally pretty gnarly.  Probably more suited to a longer travel bike but this thing did the job and he didnt flat or destroy a wheel.

FYI, when I hit “quote” to reply to this post it included the YouTube link in the text, but it doesn’t seem to embed properly in the original post or show the URL for some reason.

EDIT: it doesn’t seem to embed or show the link in the quoted text once posted, either.

Both he original message and your quote look fine to me. Must be something at your end.

Yeah, looks like you’re right — seems to be a quirk of mobile Safari. Renders fine in Firefox and Chrome.

Assembly finished, first ride is waiting for better weather  ;D

10,8kg in XL Size

Remarks:
Magura 4 piston caliper with 180mm Rotor in the rear requires filing action at the caliper otherwise it will not fit
Rear axle is too long as many others already mentioned, seems to be systematic problem
Lower Bolt for shock mounting is too short, shock does not move any longer when screw is tightened

I'm sorry to ask again if you have answered this already, but what handlebar and spacers do you have that allow for internal routing?

Sorry. I was under the impression from earlier discussion that the bar shown wasn't included (or possible to get) with this frame. It appears I was mistaken.  Thank you.  I would like to run this bar/headset with the Fm936 frame if possible.

With FM936 this handlebar will unfortunately not work because you can´t use ACR headset with FM936.
