hi everyone,
I'm new on this forum and want to share a few info about this frame. Ordered in on december 23. recieved last week with DPD shipping or XDB whatever you call it - no tax had to be paid.
I had all the components (bar wheelsets) waiting at home so i could start assembly asap... but - they speciffy 190*50 or 160*50 rear shock - i went for 190*50. My frame is L size. I installed the shock and let all the pressure out to see where it stops - shocker... when rear triangle allready hit the seatpost the shock still had 10-12mm of travel left... So i fiddled around with caliper/measure tape and figgured it out that min length after the shock is compressed is 160mm and max is 210mm - so the only shock that is suitable in my opinion is 210*50mm - with that you have exactly 150mm of travel on the rear wheel. So the info they give out on the aliexpress seems to be wrong or the old design of the shock fork. anyways, i now ordered 210*50 shock.
The frame is really well made - of course i ordered all the oem items swus231 posted in #31 post - thanks! i did a hack paintjob and now waiting for the proper shock and wheels to check the ride. There are minor surface (I hope) dents/holes which the black paint hides really well so consider that when chosing your color choice.
Frame weighs 2190g painted - without seatpost clamp and chainguide.
Edit: i forgot to add, the headtube angle with 210mm shock and 160mm fork is around 65°
Do you think there's enough clearance to run a 210mmx55mm stroke shock?
