How much?

As much as people hate it, the whole bike industry is moving to BOOST. That is the new standard until manufacturers invent the new "thing." Some of the benefits are stiffer wheels, shorter chain stays, beefier bottom brackets... It's a way to future-proof your purchase. BOOST gives you the ability to run 27.5 BOOST wheels (2.8 -3.0 tires) or 29er wheels (2.2 - 2.35 tires) 27.5 Boost & 29er wheels are almost the same size, so you could have 2 bikes with 1 frame. Use the 27.5 Boost when looking for traction & fun, use 29er wheels when looking for speed & rollover ability. Of course, it all depends on your idea of "fun"

Also hope he was being conservative. Don't see why a 2.3 wouldn't fit in there, it this is a 2017 Scott Spark 700 Plus replica.

Paying attention to your build, as this frame caught my attention.

Per Peter, this frame clears 29er x 2.2'' max wheel.

Will you be using SCOTT Twinlock Remote Lever to tighten fork & shock?


Regards.

You may have longer or shorter legs than someone else who has 170cm
Here is what I do when someone ask me for a build.

If you know your ideal saddle height. Good.
If not. Measure your inseam.
Multiply it by 0.883
This will be the length of the line between the crank axle and the top of your saddle.
Or any other method to get your saddle height as described here http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/how-to-get-your-seat-height-right-14608/


Thank you carbonazza, I will check this method. I have a 29'' inseam, so short legs, long torso. I usually fall towards the end of Small, beginning of Medium for most bike manufacturers. Checking Scott's sizing guide puts me on the same spot.

I will ask for the "not-so-tall" group...

Height 1.70 cm, 17.5'' or 15.5''?

This is a great build, great-looking bike.

Where did you get the idea of using paint scheme Pantone 431c?

How much did Dengfu charge you for the paint job?


Regards.

Hey Klaster_1,

"...One RWC needle kit in 22.2mm for rocker arm shock eyelet. Didn't decide about frame one, but probably something Fox-style."

Very interested in the rear shock you select/purchase for this frame.

I asked Peter & he said yes.

I assume this is the same 120mm. frame used for the 29er Spark, with longer fork to correct geometry (pedal strikes) Did parking test ride on the 2017 Scott Spark 950 M (aluminum) & was impressed. Bike felt pretty snappy, it retained a cross-country feel with some "trail" playfulness. Super low stand-over height made it feel like a 27.5. Left suspension "open" the whole time (dislike the twinloc system) & could not feel excessive pedal bob. But this is NO racer.

Does anyone know exact rear shock that would go with this frame? My Scott dealer called to ask availability of the shock that comes stock with the 2017 Scott Spark Plus. You can order it but there is a 4 week wait time on it.

Just wondering if that is the rear shock to get here.

29er / Standover Height on CS-036 frame
« on: November 28, 2015, 09:59:57 AM »
Trying to decide between a 15.5 or 17.5. The 17.5 is closer to my current bike. But I want to be certain before ordering. Looked at all the geometry charts but can't find the standover height for these sizes. Does anyone know or has measured this?

Thank you in advance

Hey CD, what exact Fox rear shock model did you purchase? What reducer hardware/bushings did you buy to fit it to the frame?

036 rear travel specs say 110-120 mm. rear travel for the frame.

What is your rear shock travel on Climb, Trail, and Descend mode?


Regards.
