I will get some measurements once I convert the wheels over. Did you see that Nuke proof is alive again. You may snagged a frame at just the right time. I had reached out to DIY Carbon about my frame since we are coming up on 30 days and I had not heard anything. Long story short, the price they were charging was for the non-UDH version which was actually the Dissent frame. If I wanted the 1286 frame, I had to pay another $200. They said the shock was a different size on the non-UDH frame and since I didn't want to have to deal with the shock issue, I paid the extra money. Hopefully they can ship quickly now. We just got 11" of snow so not like I can get out any time soon but I want to be able fondle the bike in my office. Hahahah.
Have you received the Dissent frame yet?
That’s weird since the 1286 and Dissent both use 250x75, and Carbonda has the Dissent priced higher than the 1286 not lower. I do worry about replacing stuff like the flip chip integrated hanger (even with a new company taking over) so UDH is another area where I think the 1286 is a safer bet.
Fingers crossed you don’t have any more complications from them, and they can actually get you a 1286 sooner than Carbonda’s “maybe April” timeline.
My Dissent arrived over a month ago, it’s been at my LBS/wheelbuilder for three weeks having a few steps done for me like installing the reach-adjust headset and Hayes Dominions. I think they had to order the special Hayes bleed kits and such before they could finish it. Soon it will just need wheels, and I’m starting to order the parts for those.
I thought I’d have a build thread up by now but the first round of work at the LBS is taking longer than expected. In the meantime I have the FR541 rims and GRIP X2 damper for the Fox 40. Just need to get the hubs and have the wheel builds started which will probably take a few more weeks.
