Can anyone confirm a rear 210x55 shock will result in 150mm of rear travel? Thinking of scrapping my AM831 build as it is taking a little longer than I'd like to ship the frame, and all of the parts except the BB will transfer over to this frame.

There is a shop near me that does carbon repair and can do x-ray service on frames (spyder composites). I am thinking about reaching out to them for a quote on an X-ray and, depending on price, getting the scan done on the frame when I receive it and sharing the results here to give us all a better idea of the integrity of the frame before we all send it on the trails. Let me guys know what you think, and whether or not it would be completely unnecessary or useless and something I should just not do.

I don't know who noticed this:

Haideli sells "NEW Upgraded 29er boost T1000 Full Suspension..." so, is this the version that solves the issues and that we will eventually receive?
They claim the carbon is T1000, which is stronger but very seldom used due to price; And it is brittle.
40 days shipping time they say.

My guess is that they mean it's an upgrade from other completely different previously released mtb frames that they sell, just a hunch.

Just joined the forum, ordering an AM 831, they promise reasonable shipping time; we will see.
What I don't understand is why it looks like many people ordered the frame but apparently nobody has received it or reviewed it; so I'm buying blind, the frame is cheaper than a branded one but not cheap in absolute. 9 years ago I bought an hardtail frame and I'm still using it and I'm satisfied; full suspension has much more mechanics and things that could be wrong.
finger crossed...

It is because they haven't been manufactured yet. As far as I can tell front triangles are done, but there was an issue with the rear and they are fixing it before sending the frames out.

Thanks eglaucher!

ahh shoot i think you're right. I may just have a local bike tech take a look first and tell me if he thinks it's possible too. thanks for the head's up!

Got the frame and fork in matte black; going for a matte black, brown, and gold color scheme. I think it should look very tasteful.
