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!

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.

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.

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.
