Got classical BB fail of glued in BSA caps... Frame from Airwolf. Lets see what will they say about this situation.

You should go size down, or a couple of sizes down to get a reasonable long stem. With short stem(shorter than 60mm), you will get terrible bike handling(very nervous) on a narrow dropbars.

And try to get a frame with the max chainstay length as possible. It will help with chaincross issue.

You can buy a boost cranks and/or chainrings with 0 offstet to not rub the chainstays.

It looks like all of the airwolf frames have an "evo link". I haven't been able to figure out quite what that means. I'm also seeing some reports of 190x40mm shocks and 190x45. What is the consensus there?

If you have 190x40mm Sidluxe, then you can simply change its travel to 45mm. It can be done by just removing a travel spacer.   I've done that(volume token is also removed), and it rides better for me.

I think, that for leverage below 2 (this frame) biger aircan volume is better. Otherwise it's almost impossible to get full travel without excessive amunt of sag.

Anyone tried to use true to size 2.6" 29er tyres (65mm width or more)? What is the clearance?

My cables doesn't rattle at all without any foam.

For this (Airwolf) frame can we use the Rockshox Deluxe Select+ 190x40mm rear shock with the EVO link?

I have seen some 190mm rear shocks available with 42.5 or 45mm stroke, will those not work or can you wiggle on that somehow?

They all will work fine. I have both 190x40 SIDLuxe and  190x45 DNM (for winter use).

I think they are from the same factory. And Spanish forum shows the old version of this frame.

Hope new version does not have this problem. At least, mine after about 2k km is going stong. Some XC races and marathons with rocky descents and uphills included
