Are you asking if we get the post inserted further?

Yes. Earlier in the thread many if us had this problem where it was catching on a lip in the seat tube. I had to file mine down. It took some work but I finally got it in all the way.

Yes, i meant seat post. Gotcha thanks.

After around 50 trail miles I have had to park the 831 , The movement of the bearings in the seat stays has become excessive so for fear of making the bearing housing oval or enlarged I've stopped riding it until JJJ's bolts are ready or the replacement rear triangle turns up.
The few miles I have done so far have been very impressive , Once the rear shock was set up the rear gives that endless travel feeling and the ride is fantastic , Its definitely more at home at speed and descending , Really stable over jumps and high speed corners but not so good in slow twisty single track where it feels a bit big and clumsy . I have fitted the Meg neg air chamber to the Rockshox super delux shock that I'm using and whilst it transforms the ride performance on the back it has made pedal bob worse when climbing so for long climbs I use the lock out
Just thought I would leave a quik   update on my impressions of the frame so far

What are JJJ bolts? mind sending a link?

If your start reading on page 9 you will get your answers your looking for. I ended up using dpx 210x51 the body fits perfectly, I believe the frame does not accommodate a spring shock. 29x2.4 max tire width or you do start getting tire rub on the rear.  You'll need a Crown race spacer pr your fork will rub the down tube. but, again all information if you read through this forum.

Thank you, I have been asking around about the tire width and thanks for the info about the spacer.

what size are your rear tires? how's the clearance? looking into building 27.5 as well instead of the 29er

Exactly what I’m looking for, looking at the possible tyre, bb, headset and rear shock options. Thanks!

It actually looks like a Revel Rail.
