Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame My large frame arrived today in perfect condition, nicely packaged. I’ll start my own build thread soon but will have a few questions for the general thread first.

Starting with: I’d been planning to start with a solid post to get my height dialed before installing a dropper but am hesitant to remove the dropper cable guide.

Any suggestions on how to handle that? I was thinking about leaving it in place and placing the far end of the guide inside the solid post for now.

I won’t really be doing any real rides like that, just pedaling in the driveway to dial in the height —
And even that probably won’t happen for weeks, we’re pretty snowbound in Maine right now.

Re: FM1002 / FM1166 - 150mm frame So, as promised, I tested out different shock strokes and I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to over-stroke the FM1002 at all safely…65mm (163mm travel) definitely doesn’t work, the seatstay bridge hits the seat tube.

62.5 might technically be possible but the bridge is so close at 60mm that I didn’t want to chance it. Even if it worked, there would probably be issues with the rear tire buzzing the saddle/rider on a full 29er setup with a long dropper.
