Have you ridden the Auron yet? Am about to pull the trigger on an EQ but can't find any rider reviews yet.

I have ridden the non eq version of the Auron back in 2018 or so, and it was smooooth. Then I went on and used a durolux 170mm for 2 years now, with great success, those things are beasts. Yes my build is a Mullet right now....we'll see how that goes. Stupid shipping delays...I only need a brake hose for my rear disc brake.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame I'm on my third day of using my fm1001 on the trail. I'm gonna go ahead and say this frame is way better than I was expecting! It's very high quality at first glance, it built really easily, threads are great, alignment is spot on, hardware seems to be of very good quality. Once built I went through every pivot bolt to torque spec, greased everything the way it should and went ahead and used Mastic tape everywhere the chain touches.

Headset is kinda weird, I honestly would've liked a more standard type, with the 1-1/8 on top and not 1.5", as headsets are super limited...but the one carbonda sold me is ok.

Cable routing was a pain (my mechanics words), but turned out super tidy. Nothing rattles which is a huge plus.
Bottom bracket threaded well, and I'm not using the ISCG mounts so I can't comment on alignment. 

I'm using my bike as a mullet as of right now, and at first it felt weird as I had never used 29" wheels before. But I felt great yesterday, more in control. The Auron fork is amazing. I'm really impressed with suntour products.

The rear suspension is so smooth and plush if set up correctly. Feels super fast compared to my older 150mm ibis mojo hd3. Feels really stiff laterally. I just need to install another token in the shock.

Shimano XT 12 speed is just amazing.
