awesome build and great info.

out of interest, any reason you went with the M9007 vs the M7007, looks like the brake mounting is the only difference on these bikes.... or am I missing something?

the (M7007) has the brake mounted in the chainstay and looks to be an an FM058

Does this help?

Here are two you could use, the stroke is over 40mm though.... could end up with a damaged frame, or extra travel but I think you can adjust the pressure to correct that possibly?

really awesome frame, but damn its hard to find 165X40 and 165X45 trunnion shocks.

it seems like only the OEMs have access to them?

I imagine compatible with shimano cranks and hubs? ie. not the XD cassette driver body

This seems really interesting...

So any chance we can run this with a 32t or 34t?

are you guys running cranks with boost compatibility? I think it moves the chainring out 3mm, but I have no idea if that would help?

raphsp3ak5, keep up updated about the fix for the pivot. I am keen to get either one of these or the FM058

Hoping the boost rear will run something bigger

looks like this guy...

personally, this looks better

mmm... I didnt see those differences but I would still choose the 27.5+ with the longer wheel base and I am sure it could run 29" tyres.

someone has to bite the bullet

lets try get Lisa online to explain

I think the dual shock stuff is a mistake in the marketing material, I dont know how it can fit both.

TanTan didnt say you can use both wheels on the same frame, but the only difference between the two models appears to be the rear triangle width. In this case it makes sense going with the boost and running both 27.5 and 29er on a wider hub.

I really like the frame....

maybe run a 120mm front suspension and you will get a slacker HA? that is what I was planning. Aliexpress rep for TanTan cycling said 1 month for this frame.

It comes with a boost and non boost triangle.

I am worried which cranks to run with the boost triangle, but keen to run a bike which can have 27.5+ and 29er tyres.
