So anyone that has bought and installed the new rear triangle, and if so does it fix the issues?

[Brian Neary]

I'd like to get in on the hardware fix also.

Ride it its not that bad, The mane issue is the bearings moving in and out of the seat stays when that is fixed its just the flex in the seat stays.
I had a Foes AM frame that flexed the same and I didn't notice until I followed a buddy who was riding my bike , I checked it over thinking the bearing had worn out and found it to be flex in the rear triangle, I rode that bike for years and it was never a problem

Thank you!  I don't believe many others understand, or are aware of, the two distinct issues.

Any one else running a rock shox super deluxe rear shock on there 831 and having trouble setting it up, I tried every setting and it still felt dead and unresponsive so I fitted the Meg Neg air can and the difference is night and day , Now it holds up in berms , pumps through undulating terrain and jumps.
I can still play with the set up but it feels great with 2 bands in the negative chamber and 1 bottomless token in the positive full open on comp and 8 clicks from closed on the rebound, Small bump is good , mid stroke support is great and ive not bottomed it out but it does get full travel.
hope this helps some one if there struggling with set up of there deluxe or super deluxe

What's the tune of your shock?

Hi Snacks, Forgot to say its a medium tune and I'm a 165 pounds and the shock is fitted with needle bearings instead of bushes

Not really. A quick look shows shipping didn't start until at least page 20.  Didn't keep going to see when the first one was received but it would have to have been after that.  Then there is the page after page with discussions of the problems with the frame when they started to be received.

Snacks did his in the 27.5 forum - http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3414.0.html
This is my build - http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3445.0.html

I'll update it when I get around to painting the new rear triangle.  Trails are either snow covered or in bad shape so it may be even longer before I get a ride in.

I don't think anyone else made dedicated build posts.

[colboy]

Exactly what I'm looking for, looking at the possible tyre, bb, headset and rear shock options. Thanks!
