Ok thanks a Lot for your response and i am looking forward to more testing Reviews of you.
Did you find it hard to mount the rear Suspension ? And which mountin Kits of Fox Are you using?
Best regards
I don't have a fox shock but a SideLuxe Ultimate and used this hardware.

As stated before the inner diameter of this hardware kit is 8mm and the bolt is 7.6mm.

I like the rear suspension a lot. I have a Float DPS. The rear suspension works almost as well as RM Element´s. I ride with the setting in the middle position most of the time because the suspension is so active and soft.

What I don't understand is how a factory like Tantán, which is a manufacturer of other brands, can't see that where the shock goes it has a diameter of 8mm and puts a 7.6 stem in it...

It's not going to be a stem of exactly 8mm, there's always a small margin, but 7.6 seems like too much margin to me and more so where it has to work... more than anything, because you can notice the "clack" of the play it has.

As I said, I made a cover for it and I "solved" it but it shouldn't be like that.

Ah ok thank you.
And which length 35?

I also meant which Mountin Kit for the sid Lux because you also Need one so the Suspension does Not move left or Right

From that link I used 22mm kit. The mounting bolt that came with the frame is 34mm in length.

Good evening everyone.
I finally solved or rather almost solved the issue of my frame that no longer arrives.
finally the shipping company admitted to having lost the package and issued a refund procedure towards tantan.
Vivian who has just returned from the Chinese New Year holidays has agreed to follow the matter.
now the proposal was to have another frame but the delivery times to have it the same were another 2 months only because of the painting.
I decided to have an unpainted, raw one sent to me immediately, also the handlebars were no longer available in the size I had requested.
to speed up the shipment I gave up with a refund, which will be given to me upon delivery of the package, the painting and the handlebars.
they sent the raw frame on the same day, now I hope to receive it within 2 weeks..
It was really a bad experience, I had ordered it in mid-November, I can't tell you about the messages and the endless exchange of emails.
Now I hope it gets to me asap, I still have the problem of having to find someone to paint it for me, and I certainly won't spend 110 dollars.
and then I have to find a handlebar, then I'll finally assemble it...

I also need to buy the bushings now, I also ride a fox, vivian from tantan confirmed 22.2mm but I didn't understand if it's the front or rear link, could you tell me the measurements of the 2 bushings? 22 rear and 35 front? I'll post a photo for example.

I asked you about the cable routing in the handlebars, well the handlebars now don't arrive and I have to buy one on aliexpres, but I would like to get one with only partial cable routing because I think that with shimano brakes the tubes are less forced.
I would like the syncros like the one on the scott spark but I noticed that the base of the headset is very wide and I'm afraid that it will then protrude laterally from the frame and be aesthetically ugly.
Could someone tell me the measurement of the upper part of the head tube? the external measurement.
or of the first conical spacer in this photo.

thanks

The size of the shock absorber where the valve goes is 22.20*8

The stem part is sent in the frame package.

Hi guys.

Rose from Tantan told me that they are going to make new bolts in about 15-20 days to correct the 7.6 mm measurement.

He told me to remind him within that time frame. They are going to correct the problem, apparently.

Regards

thanks a lot for the answer, but 56.5mm is the measurement of the wide part of the black spacer or the outside of the carbon frame? thanks again.

michael_pappas

The black spacer. They're essentially the same measurement though.

good morning everyone after exactly 3 months from the order, I finally received a frame to replace the one that the shipping company lost. this new frame arrived in about 10 days from shipping, but I had to give up the handlebars and the painting otherwise another month and a half would have passed. now I accept advice for the painting. I'm posting some photos of the raw frame the shock absorber pin that they sent me with the frame measures 7.9mm
