The most important and interesting question is what size bottles size into the frame?

(visually the hinge of the suspension arm protrudes forward too much, blocking the possibility of placing a large bottle)

maybe someone is ready to write a new long-term review?

suspicious silence about the operating experience of this frame

FYI, I just tried to install a 165x42.5mm Fox DPS Performance and was able to get seat stay bridge to seat tube contact.  I know for sure that this shock has a 2.5mm spacer and when measuring it at compressed length, it's just shy of 42mm travel, so it'd be 42.5mm with bottom out bumper compressed.  I bought the frame used, I'm assuming it's one of the early ones.  I also had a spare upper shock bolt laying around in case the old one was bent and causing a bit more deflection.  It only had about 2-3mm clearance to the seat tube when putting my weight on the saddle with zero air pressure, but a few good hits on the saddle and I got them to touch.  Good thing I was planning on getting the longer travel linkage anyway!  Make sure you all check clearance when over stroking and consider that bottom out bumpers compress a lot on a big hit, and everything just generally deflects a bit more than you can make them with static body weight.

exactly. that's right

I would talk abojt maximum value rather than minimum price I haven’t looked at alibaba in 15y, I’ll give it a go, thanks

I was offered $565, but as I understand it, this is without delivery

Well, it was really the hardtail a low price…

That leaves the Twitter has a low cost option.with discount today it’s 525$ shipped.

link?

It looks like Tantan has made a third from one frame with minor changes))

I tried to take a look at the right level: the distance is 30 mm.

Thanks a lot!

apparently the fox i-line from the merida will not go in with the blocking upwards((, it has 30mm from the center of the fastening to the edge of the blocking clamp
