Still need to measure it but by the looks of it the stock SC or cascade link may fit
Their link looks a little longer between bearings with my shitty eyeballing.  Left is Cascade, Right is stock SC 2020 (from a youtube video).

Fingers crossed your eyeballing is wrong haha but unfortunately,  looking at your image and the one he sent me, I think you're right. Seems a bit longer between the bearings.

One advantage to later shipping on larger frames - the small frame folks will have bearing sizes and hardware figured out first.

Scourge, I wonder if that is your orange frame in Eddys' pic above?

I was wondering the same thing. Looks pretty good.

I'm still confused if it's going to be 150mm or 160mm front travel. I thought it was decided it was 150mm, but in Eddy's own post it says 160mm front travel. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a fork, but not sure what travel to order.

I think that depends on wheel size. 150mm for 29" and 160mm for 27.5" to keep bb height similar. At least thats what SC recommends for their hightower

I'd imagine anything from a 150 to a 170 fork will be perfectly okay

I would defer to the Tideace or Winow specs vs what Haideli has on the site.  They both have 150mm rear travel and 160mm front as well as BB92 vs 73mm BSA.  Based on all of the pictures and the early specs posted in the group buy here it looks like all the painted frames posted a few pages back are all BB92.  Just speculating as usual but I think Icyseanfitz is right.  I'm moving my 170mm fork over from my old frame and have a 160mm air spring if it doesn't feel right.  150mm isn't something I'm willing to consider :)

Over forking by up +20mm is generally considered safe and normal enough to do, I'm running a 180 on my p9 currently and it's great :D

I would say most of us know that, I'm just saying that someone should reconcile the Haideli page with the Tideace page as they describe slightly different specs with the same geometry.  The Haideli page looks like it was made before the mold was finalized.

My frames came! i can confirm that headtube spacer is needed. Also i have sram bb92 and they work just fine. coil shock most definitely will not work.
