The Shiny New AM831 Group Buy (A) Thread!

[zilcho]

Also size M didn't have the issue with fork hitting the frame so the larger sizes should be ok.

This was my holdup on the first group buy.  Hopefully this is true once we see some of the finished builds on M, L, XL frames.

[Confused]

My L should ship any day and I will post a pic with a Lyrik fork for downtube clearance comparison.

I am not able to find a 30mm bushing for font mount of the rear shock. Can someone provide me a link please?

[esoin]

Would a Fox X2, Float X2, or DPX2 fit this frame?

[Nekross32]

Anyone tried to install the santa cruz downtube protector and chainstay protector?

[darius72]

Can somebody finally clarify the rear shock hardware size? 8x30 and 8x22.8 or 8x22 ?
If you search for fox hardware you can find it around the web, not extremely cheap, around 25$ each. If we use the suggested RS discounted amno the hardware could cost 60% the price of it.

Hi everyone, Eddy has contacted me to confirm the shipping address, my frame (size L in raw carbon) is finished and ready to ship. Greetings

[darius72]

only dpx2.

About 40 GBP for the set plus they say you need their special tool, ouch!! Did you order 8x22 ?
The 8x30 is available on aliexpress for approx 5 USD, not the 8x22 or 8x22.8, still we don't know for sure which one we need of the two.
I also got notification of frame (size M) shipped.
Urrah!!!

[Confused]

8x22 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002467008737.html (stainless) - poor reviews on seller, similar busing from some other vendors

another 8x22 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32949680664.html (Aluminum)

third 8x22 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000784299529.html at $20 it is steep for an AliX bushing

?.. It's only 26 gbp for the front and rear bushing in total. And as confused has linked, you can get the tool elsewhere. Maybe you should post the link for 8x30 on aliexpress since others were asking for a place to purchase it.

No I did not order a 8x22 as I hopefully won't need it.

[Confused]

Can someone who has received the frame post a picture of the derailleur side of the thru axle?  Does it stick out a little, sit flush, or short a little bit?

[slowpoke]

flush

[Thrill21]

only dpx2.

Why do you say only the dpx?
