These Darevie shorts are the best I tried so far, even for very long distances: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001622154194.html
I'm a fan of Spexcel, but after some poor experience with shorts, just the jerseys and jackets.

Not sure if you are with a SRAM DUB BB but here is a document that explains spacer details for road and MTB

I would try to push and pull a cable or a hose from the back in the chainstay in various directions to maybe catch a debris stuck there.

Generally I prefer tubeless, but for my lightweight climbing wheels, I prefer using TPU tubes with clinchers...
That is intriguing, climbing means descending too... is it to save weight or is it something else ?
I would never go back to rim brakes for high speed descents in the mountains.

And the cassette?

I'm quite curious now... as I didn't understand anything you asked  :o
A Ti Coil to replace the one on your full suspension shock ?
Do you have a link to that seller ?

...that will be cutting too close to fit Garmin 530.

That's the problem, yes.
And especially if you do very long rides, and want to charge mid-ride you need some room to plug the cable.
It will be interesting to see what you get.

Thank you Carbonazza! I ordered the 165x40 trunnion version as wing said the 42.5 wont fit . I will order this bushing kit now :)

Wing is playing conservative, as the frame was designed for a 40.
Many of us here are with a 42.5, you can contact bike24 and change it if you like.

The shock comes with a bushing you'll have to remove(the metallic part in the picture)
The black tool is from WFMG, 1/2" bushings, it helps to remove it cleanly.
I did it already with a screw of the right diameter on a piece of wood, but it was more brutal.
As a last resort, an LBS should be able to help you get it out.

...Do I need the cable routing kit from parktool or can I just get away using fishing line and dumb luck...
You can easily route a brake cable with a good magnet in any frame.
Then put the end of the cable into the hose, like 5-10cm.
And gently push the hose into the frame.
The brake cable with its rigidity will guide the hose trough the eventual twists.

We can guarantee we use T1000 - 1K carbon for our VB-R-177 and VB-R-218 frames  ;)
Interesting. Wasn't it prohibited before, and only available for the Chinese army?
What percentage would you evaluate to be T1000 and what zones in the frame get it?

The Trigo seems unpractically short, and compensates with long screws.
They shoukd flex a lot with the vibrations when riding.

I use the OG-Evkin in carbon with titanium screws.

...Will This Fit? https://www.bike24.com/p2397287.html
I notice in the discription it says bushing kit not supplied - Do i need to buy anything to make this fit the frame?
I have this shock on mine.
Replacing the bushing with an ENDURO BEARING BK-5864 SHOCK NEEDLE BEARING 22,2X8MM

Neon! It fades, sure, but very slowly, and after years of flashy riding.
If you put light sequins it stays great much longer.
Look forward to see it(in chameleon too :))

...all new frames are coming with 55mm chainline...

What new frames are you referring to?
55mm chainline gives a heavily crossed chain on the biggest cog of a non super boost rear hub.
