Can anyone please confirm the headset specs for this frame? Is it upper IS42/28.6 lower IS47/33? Carbonda are being a little slow with replies.

Found this on page 12 of this thread:

Here's a 40 set that works for tapered headsets, 110 will have the same numbers:
Cane Creek 40.IS52 Bottom Headset - Lower Part 1.5 Inches - IS52/40
Cane Creek 40.IS42 Top Headset - Upper Part 1 1/8 Inches - IS42/28.6

Thank you. This is now a little confusing though. Carbonda's specs don't specify exact headset spec. I already have a 42/52 headset but the specs for the NS Synonym (same front triangle?) list FSA NO.42/47/ACB, which made me think I might need a 47 lower bearing assembly like this one https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/ritchey-comp-drop-in-headset-underpart-is47-33-691978. Hmm. Hoping one of the forum members who have already built one up will confirm which is it!

OK, I got the cheap headset from Carbonda with the frame (usually do this with China direct frames to have a reference) and just went out and made sure the bearings fit the frame and then measured them.

The specs that were posted on page 12 are correct:
IS52/40
IS42/28.6

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts If you search in this forum 'Fox DPS' '42.5' , '45' you'll see the answers. I run a giant anthem fox 42.5 dps and the tune is perfect.

General question, would someone be able to make a short video of the left right frame flex when standing/moving on one pedal? just trying to see if mine if normal. Thanks!

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts If you're ordering a new Fox DPS, you could order one direct from Fox and have them tune it at the warehouse, will save on some money.

Despite popular opinions, Fox does like two tunes per shock to cover 90% of bikes out there. I'm guessing the base aftermarket tune will be totally fine and should you wish for something different you can spread the cost out by getting it done a season later or so. OR if you're paying for a service anyway, get a used shock and send it in for a tune/service to bring it back to "like new" with the tune you like.
