Thanks for all of the discussion and help posted here, I'll share my build as I go!
Have you checked out LightCarbon for your wheels?

Same thing happened when I asked about a specific color. Just their stock ones in glossy or matte or the chameleon color.

« on: May 27, 2021, 06:16:28 PM »This is my first build. I have a rear shock all ready to go but is there any way to know what shock mounting hardware we will need? Or do we need to wait to get the frame to measure it all?
The best bet is to get specs when the frame ships - or the first people get their hands on them. Plan a couple weeks after the first ones arrive to see lists of which pivot bearings and sizes should get swapped out, shock mounting sizes, and any hardware changes needed.

Small update from Eddy - small and medium frames will ship first. Frames still in production.
I don't expect to see my L before July.

Lots of different hoses available in various colors with banjo fittings in silver, gold, or red. No feedback on any specific ones yet - a few variants are in transit so hopefully feedback soon.

@Funks Do you think the springs are what led to your star ratchets failing?

Everything so far says no on the coil shock. Also, no confirmation on whether medium and larger frames have any interference with the fork adjuster knob and the frame.

One person previously ordered/received a size S frames. The adjuster on the fork will hit the down tube. No confirmation on other sizes and whether they have an issue. A spacer/higher race that adds about 6mm to height is available for ~$15 from different vendors.

I installed one with the ceramic bearings. No issues but next time I might get the standard bearing version and swap the bearings out for enduro ones.
