Chinese Carbon MTB > 29+ & 27+

Carbon Speed 2017 27.5 plus FS frame CS-FS27

<< < (22/22)

Fish:
There seems to be a few more options for 165x45 trunion mount available now.  Any recommondations on if these will fit and which will work best with the CS-FS27?

Or is there something better?

Any advice appreciated!

GuitsBoy:
Neither of those piggyback shocks will fit.  The fox may or may not fit, I dont think anyone has confirmed either way.  I believe the non-piggyback rockshox has been confirmed to NOT fit as well.   Seems like we are severely limited, unfortunately.  Unless of course they've changed the frame design recently.

ReverendRockRazor:
The bottom mounts are 8mm. Trunnion bolts are 10mm.
Modification is nessary to make it work.

You are stuck with 165/38.

I still have my fs027 and plan on trying to make it work by enlarging the mount holes just waiting on a cheaper shock.

Fish:
Ok thanks to both of you! Might have to look at a different frame.

I recently drilled out a carbon rim to switch from hidden nipples to normal ones. It was surprisingly easy and clean. Too bad the engineer on this frame didn’t understand the new trunnions fully.
