I have a 2015 Med FS Frame for sale with Fox Float 2016 Remote Shock

The frame was used a half season - bought from Peter
All bearings replaced w  Enduro bearings
Shock mounted w Needle Bearings
Frame is dialed in - all creaks removed
2016 Fox Float Factory Kashima Remote Shock (this is the redesigned shock)

The rig was excellent - I got everything dialed in. I am selling bc I joined a team and am racing on their frame.

Best Reasonable Offer.

Pics available - too large to attach

Thx for looking

29er / IP036 Main Pivot - metal on carbon
« on: July 29, 2015, 06:29:14 PM »
I just got done with a IP036 build and am working out the kinks.

While fixing a creek I noticed that I have some wear on my main pivot.  This is the pivot that is above the bottom bracket.

There is metal on the frame part that rubs directly on the triangle which is carbon. The metal is grooving the carbon triangle.

Is this the design?  If so how does this not wear out over time. It is already grooved and I have less than 100 hours in it.

Thanks in advance!

29er / Kicking Off IP036 Build
« on: May 31, 2015, 08:29:51 PM »
I am new to the forum and appreciate all the great info in here!!
I looked for info on my questions below but could not tease out the info after hours of reading.

I ran into a forum member who built a IP036 bike at a race and I am hooked on building one (I was looking at the big brands).  I want the FS bike.

I do low level XC races as well as XC 'rides' with friends.  I ride w my wheels on the ground but often encounter significant rock gardens ad roots (ride in NY-New England).  I intend on doing a higher level build (not looking for overkill).
What is important to me is weight and performance - looking for a fast bike with some forgiveness.

Target now is XX1 Group, remote lockout (have not picked suspension yet), dropper post (I'll take a weight penalty for this).  I will copy someone's build list once I am locked in a bit more.

I have a few prelim questions as I put together my order list.
I would like to relax the head angle from 71degrees (ideally to below 70 but I know that is a lot) for some forgiveness.  Seems the best way to do this is to use the longer 120MM travel fork.
       *Any other suggestions how to relax the head angle and by how much (that a newbie can pull off)
       *What will the angle reduce to with 120mm of travel?
       *What is the best reasonable fork/shock combo for my goals (weight, XC w Rocks etc, remote)

Thanks in advance!!!
Doug
