Looked really good. How much weight for the whole bike without paddles?

really nice bike,
love the clean look,

not a fan of the cable routing beside the rear shock,
but most of the frames, don't have a better solution

I thought the same thing but after 500 miles there isn't a single scuff mark on the shock. There is very little movement due to the nature of the trunnion mount and full length housing.

Total weight without paddles: 10,50kg !

Any recommendations where to find a 165x42.5 shock for this frame? I see a bunch of 45mm in the market.

I assume 45mm is not recommended?

Also, will I need to source additional spacers and bushings for fit?

Thanks!

Go with the 40. 42.5 gets nothing more than a risk to the warranty. I wonder if the cracks referenced to the rear triangle are due to running a 42.5.

I think this is bs...lots of us use the 42.5 without any issues!
Same frame is used by several other resellers also with 42.5/110mm travel.

So would go with 42.5. rs deluxe can somethimes be found for nice price.

Hi guys - I've just received my standard size M to New Zealand took 10 days from payment to delivery. Communication was with Wing and everything went very smoothly, frame was well packed and all items were received in good condition. I have noticed that the seat tube seems to be shorter than other frames I haven't seen this anywhere including the Carbonda/Flybike websites... has anyone else noticed this?

My medium seat tube measures about 17.25 inches from center of BB to top of seat tube - which is right about the 440mm I've seen in the geo charts for the medium 936?

Yep measures 440mm or 17.3 inches...

Thought I had better check for some of the issues that have been discussed on the forum and sure enough the lower pivot bolt is nearly 82mm - one clean cut with a hacksaw will fix that! Any other 'niggles' I should be looking for?
