Yeah, I noticed some interference when I pedal seated with the dropper lowered, but it doesn't happen often.
The LYNE seems from the picture to accommodate only small bottles.
I wanted to try 3D printing some similar mount as LYNE(someone tried it here if I remember well), but dropped it when I saw the ZTTO option.

I have the ZTTO double bottle holder and love it. I'm on an XL frame and don't have any interference, but I could see there being potential issues with a smaller frame. I also had problems with dirt getting in my bottles, but I 3D printed caps and that solved the problem

Hi Schumo,
Your build looks great. I'm interested in getting this frame for my wife, but I haven't gotten any replies from Og-evkin on Aliexpress on both of their stores. Did you get an email contact for them?
Also, it sounds like you weren't able to order the frame without the logos, were the logos easy to remove? If I removed them and didn't want to paint, would the finish look good underneath?

Thanks!

Component Deals & Selection / Re: ZTTO MTB M1 Boost hubs 28H 54T Ratchet

Has anybody used the M1 hubs long enough to offer feedback on the longevity/quality? Also, did the spoke lengths provided by Ztto seem accurate? They told me 300mm and 302mm spokes for ERD 596mm. I've built two Chinese carbon frame bikes so far and I'm considering venturing into wheel building. I'll probably use these hubs and the BTLOS M-i27AS or M-i30AS. Any feedback or tips welcome. Thanks!

Can anybody that has already built an XL bike comment on the length of the rear brake hose? I think my current hose is 1700mm, but I'm thinking that I'll probably need 2000mm.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I'm a long time lurker on this forum and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the great information. My buddy and I have been riding Tideace FM-M009's for three years and we are about to plunge into the full suspension world. I've read through this whole thread and think I have a pretty good handle on the FM936. I've been emailing back and forth with Adam for a few days and am planning to pull the trigger on an XL frame tonight. I'm planning to reuse as many of my current bike's parts as possible.

One area I'm struggling with is the rear wheel. For those who have used the 142 to 148 boost conversion kits, how well does it work and is it a sustainable or just interim solution? How hard is it to take the wheel on and off with the spacer? I currently take my wheels off every time I ride to put the bike in the car.

Thanks!

are there permantent fox kits, like DT offers new end caps which you just change with the old ones. I think a water resistent glue like UHU repair Extreme will do the job also. And it's not that hard to get rid of again, when you ave to.

Thanks for the input, I kind of figured it would be a hassel dealing with the spacer. My current wheels don't have a name brand hub that offers a kit or new end caps. I'll probably just buy a new rear wheel.
