Epic Evo Clone

[darkening]

is yours from All Star Cycling?

Mine is from Airwolf.

any additional details you could share would be greatly appreciated.

I had 22mm bushings from Aliexpress. And trimmed them down to 19mm and 14mm using angle grinder)))

I will buy original rockshox bushings for these sizes later.

I see. So the sizes to get are 19 and 14, what diameter? 8mm?

I will probably order these from Aliexpress while I wait for my frame to ship.

yes

My frame from All Star Cycling (AWST) has arrived!

I also had them send their 0 offset seatpost, i’m going to try that for some time.

Photos attached. Paint finish is pretty good! 2 knocks, first is that the paint is too high up for my seatpost clamp. I’ll have to sand/shave that down. Second downside I see is the rear rotor is SCARY close to my rear brake mount. Like, less than a mm. Frame weight with hardware attached is 1920 grams. For the color and finish, I can’t complain! unfortunately, shock hardware is pretty irrelevant to what I need. I’ll follow up with the correct size and where to procure.

I did also order an Epic Evo chainstay protector, headtube cable port rubber grommet, and the mylar tape for the down tube from my local Specialized dealer.

Well, shoot, he just shared photos of my frame with me… Could you share exactly what he said? Did he share this by whatsapp? I hope i’m not getting the last of a problematic batch. Here’s mine:

Has anyone checked the geometry with the declared one?  My head tube and seat tube angles don't match up.  ETT 585mm in size M with the declared 602. Head tube angle 69° instead of 66.5.

Hm. Have a photo? Sounds strange.

I measured the angles, it seems, more or less correspond to the usual epic, apparently for the first time I somehow measured it wrong.  But ETT does not even reach 590.

I keep in mind that the front triangle of the epic and epic Evo are the same. The molds they use our one to one, there’s virtually no reason for them to change it can you specify which seller you purchased from? When did you order and get it?

[Kactusdog]

This is how mine hand-mande adjusted bushings looks like. I have to buy\order precice machined...could not find correct sizes online yet. Linkage and frame do use 8mm bolt.

I am still struggling with this. I would love to get your help in putting together a clear set of dimensions for future buyers to learn from our toils!

My rear bushing space is 14mm, my front is 20mm. The bolts are a hair under 8mm. Now to sort out which dimension of bushing and black spacers to buy.

My Fox DPS has the following dimensions for both eyelets:

The frame mfr can't give you the exact specs?  Kinda sounds like you need an 8mmx14mm Fox bushing kit and an 8mmx20mm kit.

Frame finally showed up. Looks good to me!
