Kydex custom downtube protector. It still needs a little adjustment. For reference this is from a 4"x12" piece of thermoform plastic.

I am looking at a 42mm offset fork and 3mm crown race spacer. I think the lower offset should balance out the spacer and 170mm up front might be viable.

cybrsrce - good looking frame. Is it the light or is it a darker gray? I expected a dark grey and ended up receiving a light gray.

Thrill21 - a rubber/sticker chainstay protector is included with all except the first month or so of frames that shipped. Some people managed to order a protector from Santa Cruz but all models from there are on backorder.

ZTTO thread together bottom bracket and replacing their bearings with SKY/Enduro/something of known quality will get a solid option much cheaper than wheels mfg.

Orange and silver looks like a test frame. The linkage is a development piece.

« on: September 02, 2021, 07:52:17 PM »So 8x30 for the top of the shock, have we determined what size the bottom mounting hardware should be?
Short answer - 22.2 and have some shims. We don't have multiple samples of the linkage reporting dimensions...yet. Also, one person will test the Santa Cruz linkage - if it works the 30mm front and rear roller bearings become options.
If going the 22.2 option BK5864 is a part that has a needle bearing. Bikeinn had some in stock at the time of this posting.

A few more items for people looking. 30mm roller bearing for shock, shims for rear mount, and silicone things to wrap cable to prevent rub against shock and stop rattling in frames.

Can someone who has received the frame post a picture of the derailleur side of the thru axle? Does it stick out a little, sit flush, or short a little bit?

My L should ship any day and I will post a pic with a Lyrik fork for downtube clearance comparison.
