Awesome! Thanks for the link.

I need something a bit quicker (USA)

Would this work too?

Hello,

I have a Fox DPS 165x42.5 on the way. Is there any hardware, bolts, or bushings I need to purchase to fit this shock to the FM936?

Many thanks!

I can't speak to whether it is safe or not to do this but I ran mine like this for a good few months and it seemed ok. Some of my di2 components may have been squished but they also seem to be ok now.

When I attempted to take out the seat post to cut it shorter for minimal weight savings, it was a bit hard to get out initially but not too difficult in the end.

Thank you for the info.

I noticed the seat post begins to bind the deeper you insert into the seat tube.

Is it safe to insert the seatpost until it bottoms out? Or should I cut the seatpost a few cm so that it doesn't bottom out into the seat tube?

Is there a min/max insertion point?

Thanks kindly

I can't comment on the parts, however for the bolt you may be able to use:

I have measured the bolt itself and it's an M5 x 18mm with washer, and has 17mm of threads. I haven't measured the threaded nut unfortunately however I'm pretty confident the Risk option above will work.

Hi all, I'm new to the build. Excited to begin!

Are these the correct headset parts? Is this gap normal? I also have this other compression ring which seems to fit better with the silver spacers. I may have mixed up parts with another frame build. Oops!

Last question - Can I source this handlebar bolt assembly anywhere? Long story short, my toddler was playing around with it and stripped the threads :(

Thanks for checking!

Would a Fox X2, Float X2, or DPX2 fit this frame?

Any recommendations where to find a 165x42.5 shock for this frame? I see a bunch of 45mm in the market.

I assume 45mm is not recommended?

Also, will I need to source additional spacers and bushings for fit?

Thanks!
