What do you think about using a DT shock with DT remote... and leave the RS fork lockout cable some 1-2 mm of slack?
That shouldn't be enough slack to make the cable housing sliding out of the stoppers...
In a german forum, i read that an intermediate shifting position should not impair a SID RaceDay.

My friend using RS Sid with DT remote with DT rear shock on his SC Blur. He is happy with it.
I use DT Remote with Fox SC 34 fork. Also there is top cup kit for Fox forks that will convert from Push-to-unlock to traditional Push-to-lock.

And with the remote in the middle position is the Sid unlocked?

I’ve found a remote shock solution if any one is interested. It might be too expensive for some people but it’s an option non the less and it took a lot of searching to find it so thought I’d share it here.

I’ve just ordered a modified Fox Factory Float DPS 165x40 Trunnion mount shock from Aiden at https://cyclinic.com.au/ in Australia. He will mod a non remote 165x40 shock to have a remote that works in unison with a Sid ultimate shock (normally the fox shock would open/lock with opposite remote lever movements). So this will let me operate front and rear with the Rockshox Twostloc remote.

What is the price for that ?

It adds a little compression but mostly works like open

Finally reсived my frame today. 1 month since I send payment. It is quite fast before Xmas and New year.
Package was very good. Spent 15 minutes getting frame out of it.
Normal frame size L BSA without hardware is 2040g. I think it is very good for the price.

I've got an SL large coming. Curious to see how the weight compares to albar's frame.

Local mechanic made an axle with thread to mount normal 165x38 shock into trunion mount.
I disassembled the frame, put a grease into bearings, locktited all bolts and tightened them  with torque wrench by specification. It was no grease in bearings and the bolts were not tightened.

Now I have a question. A seatpost clamp is not fully fit the frame. Is it ok or I should look for another clamp?

I would start by figuring out why it doesn't go down all the way.  Is there paint buildup on the seat tube?
