Re: List of Full Suspension MTB Frames Despite the FS27 being marketed as a 120mm bike, it is effectively limited to 100mm travel since no 45mm stroke shock exists for the bike.  The shock mount provisions are 50mm wide, which will not fit a 54mm wide trunnion, not to mention the frame would need to be drilled for 10mm bolts.  Additionally, the trunnion body would interfere with the down tube.  Unfortunately that limits us to 165 length conventional shocks, of which 38mm stroke is the most youll find.

Re: New 150mm 29er frame - Lexon Spark Yep, it has a front triangle and a rear triangle. They're practically the same.   ;D 8)

Re: Is this a Transition clone? I enquired about ordering one. Frames are not available to purchase from the manufacturer until March 2021.

Re: Ican S3 XC Frame I like the linkage style - if it was 120mm I'd jump on it.

The specs say this frame uses a 165X40 mm shock at 122 mm of travel.  Something is amiss here.  165X40  is about 105 mm of travel.  Most of the 120 mm travel frames of this style use a 165X45 trunnion shock.

I think you're getting it lost translation literally. The 122mm quoted is we assume the minimum compressed length of the shock, they call it stroke. So based on a 165 i2t this equates to a 42.5mm stroke. Ben is saying a 45mm looks feasible. So theoretically if 40mm shock strike equates to 100mm rear suspension travel then 45mm will equate to 112mm suspension travel.

Tbh I was also confused by the 122mm stroke statement in the specs but Ben's explanation makes sense and I pretty sure Ican don't use professional translators, hence lost in translation  :D

Re: Looking For A Chiner Road Bike Frame - SWORKS Tarmac I have never had my seat post slip at all, I guess it's due to it being fully home and is the correct height for me!
The best way to stop a seat post from moving, cut a bit of the Rubbery clear plastic packaging that sheet sets come in, it's a little stretchy and it grips really well :-)

Re: LTWOO ER9 & ERX - Electronic groepsets

Groupsets and wheels are the two things you really should not skimp on. Basically any moving or electronic components.

Framesets, handlebars/stem, saddles, and any other static parts can be had for cheap without really posing any risks to safety or reliability.

For me, it's the lack of availability to me that proposes the biggest risk.

If a Shimano/SRAM/Campagnolo component on my bicycle fails, I can generally get a replacement same or next day, and in any event, it's unlikely to take longer than a week. For LTwoo/Sensah mechanical parts, the fact that they can be swapped out for SRAM/Shimano equivalents where required makes it a less scary proposition - a rear derailleur failure just means replacing it with a part from another brand.

With LTwoo electronic it's a very different story though - a failure is going to leave you waiting weeks for a replacement from China with no local alternative.
