Swuw231,

Thanks for that. This confirms exactly what I feared. They save on the carbon fibre as they weren't providing the cut-out.

On another matter. Did you have issues using the Specialized rear shock hardware? I note you said it was a tight fit, but I actually have 2 issues.

1. The front bolt is too long. No biggie as I'll just use the one supplied by AWST.
2. The flip chip doesn't fit into the eyelet of the shock. I've removed the bushing from the X-Fusion O2 Pro but the flip chip is too big. Am I rignt in gussing it was designed for a larger diameter bushing?

I'll get around this by using a cut back spare bushing I have and the stock bolt, but, just wondering how to resolve this problem. I'm guessing the only way is to get a rear shock with larger bushing size?

Cheers

Guy

Yes, front bolt is longer (~5mm) I ended cutting it down to size; for the rear I saw no issues with the flip chip, I got it mounted into a Fox shock (I don't think eyelet diameters are different), it goes without any shock mounting hardware nor bushing.

Hey guys
i‘ve one Frame ordernd too, it Took a while to be shiped (ordernd end of April via Ali) now it’s on it’s way.
Has anyone tried to cut off the swatbox?

Not possible, carbon layout in that area is not thick enough, it will compromise the frame structural integrity.

PD: For those wondering, I got a front triangle replacement due to a faulty bolt shock tab; so I decided to experiment with the old triangle :)

Hi All,

Quick question, what size rotor does the frame use on the rear? Is it 160mm or 180mm?

Thanks in advance.

Guy

Rear disc is 180mm post-mount, you cannot go smaller than that.

Cheers!

Its been a while since I posted to this thread and since I had some people PM me regarding how I handled the cable exit port, I wanted to share my 2 cents:

-Specialized uses a a rubber sleeve which serves as the perfect transition as it encloses the cables from the downtube to the chainstays as well as keeping any dirt and water from entering the frame, I tried to source the part but was unable to find it anywhere.
-In the end I figured out to use something to plug the hole, so I looked for some firewall oval rubber grommets over Amazon, fit them to the frame and made 2 holes for the cables to pass.

So far it has worked quite well, no debris nor water inside frame and does not look bat at all.

Hopefully someone will find this useful  :)

@swuw231 Woop, thanks ! You are right, you wrote before about max shock lengh and frame travel. Definitely a possible alternative to the hightower clone then. How tall are you and how long are your legs ? Which size did you order ?

Im 5'11" with a 32" inseam and picked a medium frame.

Can anyone tell me whether the damper length is specified in Imperial or Metric?
the manufacturer recommends a length of 190x50, here you recommend 210x50
sorry for the stupid question but i don't get it

No one is recommending a 210mm shock, Im just stating the maximum length which seems to be supported by the frame, you can use whatever shock length you want as long as you understand its effects on geometry, 190mm shock number may have come from early development of the frame, if you check the geometry chart, it can clearly be seen that length was chosen having in mind the old iteration of the suspension yoke, many things have improved since then and now the frame is clearly more inline with the actual stumpy.

Yes, as stated before 210mm seems to be the max shock lenght that will fit, anything bigger will cause the yoke to be missaligned, therefore making impossible to fit upper shock mount; regarding the fork, it requires a 560mm axle to crown which is almost what a Fox 29er 150mm measures.

A little update, I sourced a couple of parts from the original stumpy and Im happy to report that they all fit :), I got the following:

-Rear thru axle 148x12 (S170200003), not much to say, it worked
-Downtube protector (S184200063), required drilling of 2 bolts for installation
-Chainstay protector (S186900003), surprisingly chainstay protector fitted like a glove and there was even existing thread in the back of the horst link bolts to attach the screw
-Bearing repleacement kit (S180600003), were quite a pain to replace but new ones are quite smooth
-Rear Shock hardware kit (S184200068), flip chip hardware matches the grooves in the suspension yoke but is quite a tight fit (yoke is ~1.5 mm narrower)

Im still waiting for parts but in the meantime maybe Ill build it as a 27.5+ as I have some spares.

A month ago, I decided to pulled out the trigger and bought one of this at Aliexpress, today the frame arrived and first impressions are quite good:

- Frame came very well packaged and indluded a headset (tapered, integrated type), seatpost clamp (38.6mm clamp for 34.9 seatpost) and even the chain guide; sadly it didnt include the axle
- Hardware looks just like the original stumpy (each bolt, linkages, derailleur hanger, etc) it came a little loose and bearings are not the greatest
- Cable routing follows the original stumpy but have no internal tubing (need to fish out the cables)
- Dimensions/geo numbers are much alike the 2019 stumpy (non EVO version)
- Came with the 95mm/98mm yoke (for up to 150mm travel), max shock size seems to support a 210mm shock
- Water bottle mount is just a little higher than the original stumpy
- Shock hardware seems to use 21.8mm x 8mm for the top (actual bolt is 6mm but they include a spacer for 8mm), still figuring out the bottom as it seems to require either the actual flip chip (there are grooves in the yoke which seems to match) or some sort of customization of the hardware (actual spacing ~14.5mm)

Ok...since author of this post can not post link to this frame,and that frame is non exist in Miracle or Hai.... her it is

http://www.ltbikes.com/product/100.html if you buy from China...but i also noticed that frame on
http://www.apexcreative.com.tw/comm/upimage/op_181017_06776.jpg from Taiwan....

How good or bad it is you can read in this post here on Chinertown...

Adding a couple of images detailing the BB area and the rear triangle spacing.

<<I dont own the images, they were taken from Winow Sports page>>

I believe the frame is still a first iteration, maybe its just me but I cant seem to find the hole for the shock to pass in between the seat tube, still its nice to see the first frames comming out  ;D

Sign me in for a 16 inch frame!, having owned a Santa cruz before I would very like to try this new linkage platform and move to bigger wheels.

Size 16"
Color: raw carbon?
Ship: Miami
