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

Perfect, thank you!

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.

Great dude! hope you enjoy it! Carbonzza - did you get your BSA yet? - this lad has one!

Never seen one in the wood crate before! did anyone get theirs like this?

Be sure that when I get it, I'll let you know 
The wood crate is a first here!

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

[Risckys]

Hi Risckys,
Could you post a pic of your bike, please?

Sorry for the delay!

[albar]

Sorry for the delay!

Good looking bike! Rocker link is carbon or alu?

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?
