Re: TanTan FM10 29 Rear Suspension This won't account for a curve in an axle path but it's a good approximation. Should reveal big discrepancies like 135mm vs 150mm or something like that.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts If you're ordering a new Fox DPS, you could order one direct from Fox and have them tune it at the warehouse, will save on some money.

Despite popular opinions, Fox does like two tunes per shock to cover 90% of bikes out there. I'm guessing the base aftermarket tune will be totally fine and should you wish for something different you can spread the cost out by getting it done a season later or so. OR if you're paying for a service anyway, get a used shock and send it in for a tune/service to bring it back to "like new" with the tune you like.

Re: Tideace 2022 New Enduro Mold FS838 Being Production From our experience with the 831 and the solution to the rear end flex as "spend more money", I'll be holding off on this one for the first round or two of production.

I'm curious what the BB interface will look like. In the Range, it's an alloy sleeve inside the carbon to allow for max shock clearance. Same thing here?

Plus I totally had a 2021/22 Range from July to October last year and it actually wasn't my favourite. Having said that, this would be on my radar as a "spouse bike", hah. And regarding previous comments on the need for a bash plate in the lower link area? big time. Even with the Norco bash plate that area looked like shit after my half season of riding.

Eddy, I'd highly recommend at a minimum offering a premium high quality hardware kit for this bike. It's a complicated design with lots of bolts and bearings in different places than many other bikes. Every other "chinertown" bike I've had experience with has had hardware of low to acceptable quality. Usually this works OK for most designs, but the way this is meant to be ridden is going to be very demanding on hardware. Perhaps you could differentiate yourself from other resellers by offering premium hardware and bearing kits. I know I'd be willing to pay a considerable additional fee if I know a bike like this is going to be offered with top quality bearings from a manufacturer I can trust like SKF/FAG and strong, top quality bolts & nuts rather than the normal grade. Especially with the high pivot!

Being able to fit a coil shock would also make this frame quite appealing, and also ensuring the fork crown will not hit the downtube of the frame.

It had better be designed to fit a coil, if the leverage curve looks anything like the bike's its inspired from. Apparently the Aurum HSP and successor Range ride like shit with air shocks. Fox Canada really didn't want to sell me an X2 for my Aurum HSP when I asked!

Re: Trusted 150mm 29er suggestions The most trusted is probably the one that Evolve uses at this point, no? FM-1002/AM831 are both too new IMO to truly tell.

Re: Trusted 150mm 29er suggestions We're slightly derailing, but progressive-regressive curves were extremely common when designers were exclusively designing bikes for use with air shocks. As the shock ramps up, the curve turns regressive to keep it smooth til the last bottom out. Now that modern shocks like the Super Deluxe have excellent final-stroke bottom out protection, I'm kind of surprised we don't see more progressive-regressive curves, except that a portion of the riding population love to have the ability to slap coil shocks on their trail bikes. It's a "quirk" sure, but if you're running a modern mid to high end air shock, you can almost ignore it. Perhaps even a feature? You can easily tune around it and I can't see it being an issue except for those wishing to run a coil.

Where did you see the geo chart? Bummer it seems to be dated geometry the frame looks great!

In the formerly broken link.

I wouldn't go so far as to say its 19-20 XC geo, I think it probably fits the downcountry moniker, it's just not quite as aggressive as some of the newer trail bikes out there.

Re: Stumpjumper clone Not safe. Water bottle mounts have more carbon and are reinforced in the area. Top tube is one of the weaker parts of the frame.
