yes, I was lucky to buy a frame from a defective lot. The cracks around the top link started back in December, just a month after the purchase. I recently received a new front triangle.

Carbonda's warranty support is one of the best, many thanks to them.

Thoughts on Reba or Revelation?

I'll be installing a 165x38 Monarch until I can afford a trunnion shock because I already have it.

I have a non boost Reba @100mm so would be buying a 120mm air shaft - it weighs 1240g
I have a boost Revelation @130mm so would be buying a 120mm air shaft - it weighs 1740g

So what would be the preference, and would a half kilo weight penalty on the Rev rule it out straight up?

Has anyone ran 130mm on this frame?

Ben

I ride a 120mm reba but would love a stronger fork. 120 or 130 in general there is no difference

First I tought it was because of a soft rear tire, but wasn't. Didn't care much, because it was a bit muddy... But now I know it, it al make sence...last year I did notice it because of because of wobly tail.

Is the frame still warranted?

and another question, can you film the backlash?

Soooo.... Year later...
I was thinking to remove the bottombracked because of a creak since the last 2 rides.
But no...hell no...not the same shit!
A lot of play at the lower pivot point, drive side. Can move it almost a cm(0,5 up and same down)

Did you feel any backlash while driving?

I got about 118 mm of travel when I measured mine.

Method - deflate shock, remove real wheel, clamp frame level. Measured height, put a jack under the rear triangle and pushed up to about 118 mm. Maybe could have gone a little more but didn't want to push it too far.

what is the shock absorber travel?

Seems like the method of measure could be vastly different. Are you using a tape measure? A flat edge?

yes, measured with a tape measure. The saddle padding could have played a role. But I tend to trust my measurements

About 106-108mm

Interestingly, I have exactly 120mm with a shock stroke of 40mm

I agree. Im running 270-300psi otherwise too low BB @75kg with gear.  So the solution is to put a volume spacer? did anyone do this? I'll buy a spacer if it works well.

it is necessary to reduce the volume of the negative chamber. Perhaps you need to change EVOL chamber

May I ask you to measure this distance when the shock is deflated?

Using Fox DPS  with SV air can,  70+ kg  weight  and 150-160 psi with around 25% sag. Secret is the air chamber volumes on your shocks. Your both air chambers: positive and negative has too big air chambers for this frame, result: you need 300 psi for proper sag. At first I'll try to reduce volume of both chambers.

Yes I know that. Most fox dps from ebay are here with a huge negative camera. So we pump 250-280psi for 70-80kg

I weigh 75kg and I have 270 psi in my Fox Float DPS on this frame to get the right sag.

I weigh 80 kg and use the same pressure to flex 25%. This frame has a lot of leverage: if you measure the wheel travel by flipping the bike and measuring the axle height from the floor, then the total travel is, mindful, 120 mm on a 165x40 shock.

yes, replaced by free and free shipping. I did not remove the paint to investigate the crack.

can you clean up and take a photo? maybe it's just a crack in the paint and adam is reinsuring himself by sending a new triangle

in fact, yes, on this frame the size grid is offset downward. At 936 in the size of L reach 500 stack 600 ETT 640 ST 490

maybe they did it to keep the seat tube lower for the big dropper in the latest fashion, but they just changed the size names)
