Hey Bro and Guys im trying to choose ideal size....my present bike matched to this frame would put me in 19" frame choice however i initially was gonna order the 20.5 frame...my thinking now is that's too large as my Trek Superfly was extra large at 21"...a 2012 model....

i'm 5'10"

I'm 6' with short legs and could JUST fit the 150 mm Reverb B, the hose does a very sharp corner though. Would not work if it was a bowden...
I have a 19" frame, I think it fits me perfectly.

Has anyone tried using a thrust bearing, or similar, with those bolts?

Such bearing would be needed under the bolt head and between trunnion and frame, unfortunately there's no space.
A good solution would be to tighten the bolt against a distance bush, with a sliding bearing between bushing and frame. Obviously this would require enlarging the hole in the frame by quite a lot. Might work if it's all carbon fibers around the hole, but could be critical if there is any foam or other filling material.

My workaround seems to hold up OK so far, no loosening yet.

Well the shiny thing is a washer already in that hole  I also have a DPX2, it has pretty similar trunnion holes as the DPS.
The issue is that the LCFS958 doesn't have corresponding bearings...

Another note: My reverb B with 150 travel just fit, I had to bend the hose quite sharply at its connection to the seatpost. Seat rails are at 72 cm distance from the BB center.

Finished my build and did the first two rides. Thanks to all contributors on this thread! Super happy with the result. Came in at 12.9 kg, even though my list said 13.2. Maybe I forgot something? 
Frame is 19", 2487 g with hanger and the supplied damper bolts (without axle and saddle clamp). No issues at all with the frame and hardware, fit and finish is good. Bearings seem very good, all MAX type with plenty of grease inside.

Didn't like the fact that the trunnion bolts clamp the damper firmly to the frame, so with bolts tightened, no movement is possible. As a workaround I inserted a couple washers into the blind holes in the trunnion, so that the bolts are tightened against the bottom of the hole and not against the frame. This way, the damper can pivot freely. Still not a "good" solution, but better than nothing. I am constantly checking the bolts...

Rides great, sort of pushes me to go faster on uphills, even though the powermeter data doesn't show a noticeable difference compared to my previous 27.5" all mountain...
Need to dial in the damper (Fox DPS), so I borrowed a ShockWiz  .
Actually I planned to use a damper remote, but noticed that I can reach the damper lever quite easily. So I guess I won't bother 

I noticed that Lightcarbon measures the stack to the axles, not to the BB. So you need to add the BB drop to compare to others...

OG-Evkin that make really fine carbon components.

Have just released a new handlebar that looks great:

Looks great indeed!! They might want to reconsider the title "king of manipulation" though
and I love the XXX marking at the spot where it's supposed to break 

Interesting, thanks... so your bottom bracket width is 96.5 mm as in their description, and it still clamps the bearing?
As carbonazza said, I would also try to find a solution where the full 50 Nm can be applied. Same torque as on SRAM GXP cranks.
Did you try without the 3 mm spacer or with a thinner one?
Make sure the bolt thread and the spline on the axle are well greased before tightening.
But good to hear the crank is fine otherwise!

Stefan, rubybear, thanks, great info. I was also planning on the Loam dropper, in 150 mm. Then it suddenly was sold out, so I grabbed a second hand Reverb, 440 mm full length. Let's see, I should be fine with ~210 mm insertion.
Frame shipped today, I'm hoping to build in February.
Stefan, keep us posted on your next project!
