Awesome! What’s your shock hardware situation like?


Sid lux attached pic of parts, had to shave them down with an angle grinder.

Well, shoot, he just shared photos of my frame with me… Could you share exactly what he said? Did he share this by whatsapp? I hope i’m not getting the last of a problematic batch. Here’s mine:


he wrote:

"Has been updated
Arranging production
Please be patient and wait
Thank you for understanding"

My frame from All Star Cycling (AWST) has arrived!

I also had them send their 0 offset seatpost, i’m going to try that for some time.

Photos attached. Paint finish is pretty good! 2 knocks, first is that the paint is too high up for my seatpost clamp. I’ll have to sand/shave that down. Second downside I see is the rear rotor is SCARY close to my rear brake mount. Like, less than a mm. Frame weight with hardware attached is 1920 grams. For the color and finish, I can’t complain! unfortunately, shock hardware is pretty irrelevant to what I need. I’ll follow up with the correct size and where to procure.

I did also order an Epic Evo chainstay protector, headtube cable port rubber grommet, and the mylar tape for the down tube from my local Specialized dealer.

Take a closer look. Yoke of epic and epic Evo are different!!


yes they changed the yoke for the 2021 EVO but the 2020 EVO yolk is very similar to the EPIC

its weird when you look at the linkage and how the rear shock connection to the seat stays is a straight line to the shock for both the 2020 evo and the 2021 epic.

the epic running a 52.5mm stroke getting 100mm stated travel

the evo running a 51mm stroke shock getting 110mm travel

how is this possible?  I'm guessing the longer chainstay 433 vs 438 increases the leverage ratio?

could anyone verify the actual chain stay length on this frame stated length appears to be 438.


thanks for the tip about making a 190mm x 40mm lux into a 45mm thats nice since thats the shock i ordered :)

so i stumbled across this ad on pink bike https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3631594/#PBModalBox

looks like the 2020 evo but the changed the yolk to this by the looks of it: https://www.bikeyoke.de/en/bikeyokes/epic/

running a 190x45mm shock and claiming 110 mm of travel.

I don't know how leverage ratios are calculated but it looks very similar in design to this bike.

im guessing the math goes 110mm divided by 51mm(stock stroke shock) = leverage ratio of 2.157   

so 40mm stroke gives 86mm travel and 45mm stroke gives 97mm?

that looks very nice! (i ordered my frame from all stars a few days ago)

does it feel like a 100mm bike on the rear? you have a 190x40mm shock? do you think a 200x51 will fit?

thank you!

well my ti aliexpress spindle snapped off about 7mm from the threads. ran it for a couple summers. weight 175lbs currently. snapped right after I converted the bike to single speed. couldn't handle the torque I think.

I fit in a 38t with pretty decent chainline inline with the 4th cog from the 11t on a 10 speed cassette.

On a M009 frame ?
Do you know the distance between the ring and the center of the frame ?
Did you use a spacer ? If so how wide it is ?

here are a couple pics. I'll try to get the other measurement you asked for. I flipped the spider for the chainring as well as the chainring. made custom spacers with a drill and headset spacers

here's mine with a 38t. can't get ring any closer for better chainline because of the crank arms anyways
