I recently purchased a Giant control mini mtb pump for my bike but the bracket that it comes with is so short that it cant sit flush on the downtube and my bottle cage cant even fit on top of it. Anyone have a recommendation for a mounting bracket with more clearance?

29er / New OG-Evkin full suspension frame. Thoughts?
« on: October 20, 2021, 07:08:37 PM »
OG Evkin has had their hardtail frames for quite a while but they have added a full suspension frame to their aliexpress store.

100mm rear travel XC bike, 2300g, 68.5 degree head angle, $830 USD.

Seems pretty similar to the Scott spark RC (the older model not the one with the hidden shock). Has routing for dropper and rear lockout which is nice, but has a press fit BB which isn't ideal.

29er / Best frame for 140mm fork and 200x57 shock?
« on: May 08, 2021, 05:13:27 PM »
I currently have a 2019 diamondback release 2 29 which is a pretty great trail bike, but it has a really heavy frame. I've been looking into getting a carbon frame that I can transfer my components over to. It has a fox rhythm 34 fork with 140mm of travel and a fox float rear shock that is 200x57. Most of the frames that I have found that accommodate a 200x57 rear shock are more enduro style and have too much rear travel for a 140mm fork and I don't really want 150+mm of travel anyway for the trails that I ride.

The frames that I have found which I am considering are the ICAN p1 frame which is specced for a 200x51 shock, but I think I can put the 200x57 on and I can limit the travel of the shock if needed. I also am looking at the DCB F130 which seems to be the exact same frame with a different name because the geometry specs charts are the exact same for both bikes. The geometry for the p1 isn't far off from my current diamondback which is nice.

I am going to keep looking for frames that support the suspension I currently have, but if anyone knows of any other ones I would greatly appreciate if you shared them with me. Also I would like to know how much of a different size rear shock you can get away with on a bike.
