Chinese Santa Cruz/AM831

Wait, it's 150mm rear now? I thought it was 140mm.

The Cruz' produced 140mm out back with 52.5mm of stroke. These are supposed to use 55mm of stroke, so they'll make more, right?

I read somewhere the v2 hightower is 147mm if you run a 55mm shock, guess well know when the frames arrive .

fyi. there are issues with the lower link bolts.
Where tightening the bolts would seize the link.
Waiting for T-F to resolve the issue.
Perhaps it could be only my unit.

What type of bolts are they? I have a couple of SC frames that will do the same thing and it's normal. You tighten the big through bolt up as tight as you can without causing too much drag on the link. Then you tighten up to locking collet / bolt. Just wondering if they are using the same style bolts as SC.

That's weird, S only? Why go there first? I'm curious if that is a true to size S or if that is a Santa Cruz medium.

What merchant had S available? The others said M (actually large) was coming first.

Either way, that might be the size I'm after. We'll see.

This size S according to geometry is SantaCruz size M..
Merchant is from link above on Alibaba..

Yeah, I found that since I commended. Too bad they haven't replied past the initial contact in like 5 days.

Nope there aint no collet at the other end. It aint SC.

They are probably, trying to iron out some production issue.

Do you have any news for us ?

I'm sure all the factories are slammed with OEM business. With all the hot new bikes out of stock, you know there are big orders for more.

Don't remember which bike executive it was, but he said they had no idea how long the surge would last, but they intended to ride it to the end. Said they were struggling to meet demand bcause of supply constraints across the board.

No reason to spend the resources on the AM831 when you're fully booked with OEM production.

Still waiting for ratification. No conclusion yet.
Anyone else received thier frame yet?

Nope i need a size M. If it would be available, i would order it instantly. But still only s is available...

[Jotegr]

Im after a small and they won't get back to me. Perhaps they are solving an issue with the original run that BBR had?
