Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! Here is some more photos including rough measurements of the shock tunnel and fork clearance. The fork is a 150mm 51mm offfset Pike for reference. I'm still need to buy a few more parts before I can really start to build it up. Overall the frame looks really good!

How long did the shipping take in total?

It was shockingly fast. It shipped out of HK on 8/12 and was at my door in Seattle, Washington by 8/17

8x22mm front
8x30mm rear

According to the Tideace listings.

In reality its 8x30 Front and 8x22ish rear. Reversed from what is published on aliexpress
This means the bearing mount shocks that typically come with Santa Cruz bikes will not work as the rear shock mount is not wide enough.. I learned this the hardway....

Geekbox32 - thanks for the measurements and info on the shock.  A small solace - the bearings at the other end make the shock easier to disassemble/service.  Can you fit the calipers in with the inside measurement for the 22.x section?  It looks like the install kits for fox change every .2mm

The rod end of the shock has to be at the rear. The Shock can/piggy back is too fat to fit through the frame.  I tried to see if it would fit reverse and it doesnt seem like that would work. If it did, it would be very difficult to add air to the shock.

I'll try to get better measurements later today if not it wont be until next week as i'll be out of town for the weekend...

Re: The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread! Attached is a better measurement of the rear shock mount. I also did doubles check to make sure that the shock mount was indeed 8mm.

Also the bike comes with a standard boost thru axel, some generic bottom bracket, bolt on seat post clamp and a headset with a compression type plug.

Edit: I didn't realize the photo was cropped for the rear shock
