29er / 185x55 shock on a 190x45 frame possible?
« on: April 11, 2019, 02:56:18 PM »
I have a technical question:

Does it cause problems or will te riding quality/behavior (seriously) influenced when you mount a 185x55 size shock on a fully frame that is actually intended for a 190x45 shock? The difference is only 5 mm after all (in the natural suspension direction).  ::)

If yes and 5mm is too big a difference, can this difference be reduced through so-called offset bushings? Theoretically, the difference between eye-to-eye of the shock can be reduced to just 1 mm with this bushings, namely. Or do I see all of this wrong?

Hopefully, some of you know the redeeming answer. Thanks in advance.

29er / Please help: lots of strange 'pedal bob' with rear shock in lock-out
« on: August 16, 2018, 09:03:31 AM »
Hello all,

Let me introduce myself first. I am Jerry and new to the Chiner community after many of you DIY bikers inspired me to build my own mountain bike. Thanks for that!

My chiner is built around a 29er carbon Pro-Mance M7007 Super Light frame, size XL because I am tall guy. It is ready to race and the first riding impressions are very positive. But it need still some finetuning.

However, one very annoying thing is that when I select the rear shock, a RS Monarch RL 168x38, in full lock mode (lever fully to the familiar turtle), there is a lot of bouncing in the back end of the bike. It is as if my rear wheel has become the shape of an egg. In 'open mode' of the rear shock the bouncing has almost completely disappeared. Very strange, but in 'lock mode' is therefore hardly decent to cycle.
 
Are you, especially Pro-Mance M7007 but also Hongfu FM158 owners, familiar with this problem? If so, how did you solve this annoying and inefficient 'pedal bob' problem? Or is there probably something wrong with the shock, even though that brand is new as mine?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Greetings.
