anybody with a 911 frame running a dropper ? I'm particular interested in the seat tube max insertion for a size 15.5
Currently my wife has a M7007 and the max insertion is only 101mm. I need to get her at least a 100mm dropper however she only has 180mm of seatpost exposed.

Sure.

One disadvantage I see on an integrated handlebar is if you put it into a bike box for travel.
It is easier to unmount/mount the bar from the stem than the whole stem/bar.

I should forget it, but I'm still traumatized after seeing a crack in my first carbon stem.
So all my stems are stupidly alloy now...

Hey Carbonazza, not sure if it's a big deal for traveling. I did box my MTB for traveling before and it was fine. usually to ship I've to loosen the fork anyway. will see when the need to ship the road arises if ever.

I've been running on carbon integrated handlebars for MTB for about 5 years and have been very happy. never had a problem in the bars despite breaking 3 frames.

I've ordered the aliexpress link I posted before. I've had one before on my super commuter and I'm happy with it.

Does anyone recommends some Integrated Handlebars ?

I've some from chiner Integrated bars from 2016 but they flex a lot and the Internal cable holes are tight to the point that if I bring the shifters higher to a better ergonomic position it snags the brake cables.

I just made a new video showing the play in between the bearing internal and the suspension bolt.

I tried already using the - , +  and ++ bearing inner part but there is still play.

Guys, the final build has a play on the shocks eyelets. I'm using RWC needle bearings and even with the ++ inner ring, the bolt is loose. Wondering if you guys have any suggestion.

Also XC frames with 100mm of travel are becoming less popular so 1-2 year old XC frames are discounted quite a bit.

Not sure about that, most of the XC Racers are on 100mm bikes and most brands have that as the default XC bike.
