Hi everyone, seriously considering this frame. Just wanted to ask about sizing.

Im just over 6ft & 32" inseam, would the large be suitable for me? The frame geometry looks bigger than some of the eqivalent sizies of name brand geometry.

Whats everyone else going for?

Damn, should have ordered last night.  $36A discount now only $17A, delivery has gone from $100A to $140A and price has gone from $760A to $780A.

I really have to get off the bloody fence.

I'm 6'0", 220 lbs and 32" inseam and find the Large fits well.

OK, I am a little confused and am hoping someone here can clarify something for me. If this frame is 27.5 plus / 29er why is there a 27.5 and 29er version listed as options? Is there any difference between the two frames, if I want to be running 27.5 plus rubber should I be ordering the 29er version or the 27.5 version?  I have sent the factory store a question but I'm not sure they will understand / be able to explain what I am trying to clarify.

I had always presumed that 27.5 plus and 29er were the same frames given the similar outer tyre diameter but 27.5 (non plus) would have a smaller rear triangle and possibly smaller bb drop.

I have to commit now because I just agreed to a new take off Fox DPX2 185 x 55 trunnion mount for $400A ($286 uSD)

Does anyone know what the changes to the new 2021 version are?

Hopefully they might have added some more clearance for 200mm shocks.

I don't expect any change, that was posted over three months ago.

Also, after a fair bit of clarification,  I did get an answer out of them re the different options, no difference between the 27.5 and the 29 option.

Hello again. Can you please tell me what the difference between the 27.5 148 x 12 and 29er 148 x 12 frame actually is?  I want to run 27.5 plus tyres. Are they actually the same frame, does the 27.5 frame take plus tyres or do I need to order the 29er version?  Thank you.

Good morning, if you want to use 27.5 plus tyres, then you need to choose 27.5er frame
27.5er 148X12mm = 27.5er boost
15:19


So what dimensions are different from the 29er frame?
16:03

27.5*2.4 /27.5*2.6/37.5*2.8
29*2.35 tire
16:09

27.5*2.4 /27.5*2.6/27.5*2.8
16:54


Yes I know that. You list for sale both a 29 frame and 27.5 frame. I am asking you what dimensions on the two frames are different? Are chain stay or seat stay lengths different? Is the BB drop different? If they are identical frames why do you give both a 27.5 and 29 option?
17:07

The difference is that 142X12mm and 148X12mmaxle and tires can be installed in different sizes

Yes but you list both a 148mm x 12 27.5 AND a 148mm x 12 29er. What is the actual difference between these two frames?  Will a 29er wheel fit in the 27.5 plus frame?
17:17

27.5er frame can use 27.5er*2.4/2.6/2.8 tires
29er frame can only use 29er*2.35 tire
29er wheels are not suitable for 27.5 plus frame


So that must mean that the two frames have different dimensions. What dimensions are different?
17:24

I have asked my boss and he said that the size is universal
Therefore, the tire sizes of the 27.5er and 29er frames are both 27.5*2.4 /2.6/2.8 & 29*2.35

If you choose a 27.5er 148*12mm frame, you can use up to 27.5er*2.8 tires
If you choose 29er 148*12mm, you can use up to 29er*2.35 tires
29er wheels are  fit in the 27.5 plus frame


Thank you. I thought that was the case as it is with many of the big brand frames. I was just confused with the two listings. Thank you for checking.

My last frame was a FS27, which was identical to the fs29 except it came in boost spacing, while the FS29 was standard 12x142.  Perhaps something similar here?  Looking at my frame with the 27.5x3 stuffed in there, it sure looks like it would fit 29er wheels as long as you didnt go too big on the tire.

Thanks!  Its the DNM AOY-36RC 200mm.

How do you find that shock performs? Compared to a a rockshox?

And pardon my ignorance, bit if I already have a Rockshox Deluxe 205x55 can I limit it to 200 so it fits?

I wanted to clarify because my intention is to run 27.5 plus but I wanted the choice to run 29er if I don't like the plus.

What 3.0s are you running and do you have much clearance to the stays?

I'm running 2.8 nobby nics on nextie jungle fox 52 rims (45mm inner width) and the tires measure out at 2.980" when fully stretched at 18 psi.  There is just shy of 1/4 inch clearance to the stays.  Slightly more than my previous frame.

Can anyone confirm if a 185x55 trunnion Rockshox will fit and not cause problems?

The 55mm might be a problem. I measured 54mm on the frame. You might be able to mount it, as it is a bit wider at the area where screws go thru... but I wasn't able to measure it there.
I bought a 52.5mm DVO Suspension Topaz T3Air Trunnion, and this one fits perfectly with two distance washers. Maybe it was the better choice size wise...

Chinerrider the way I read your post it sounds like you think 55mm is the width of the shock at the mount. 55mm refers to the useable shaft length or stroke.
