Here is that picture of my shock mounting for reference; for some reason the forum isn't completing posts with the bearing pictures attached but I'll keep trying.

Is that 230x60 topaz on a FM1002?
If so, do you have any idea how much higher your bb is now?

Looks interesting! Seems like people are pretty happy with the FM1002. My setup will have a 327mm bb height, that will probably work ok.

With my fork, the BB height would be 325mm, 4mm higher than the am831 according to bike-stats.de.

I would like a BB height that is at least 330mm.

Thanks for the link though, I think it is the best Chinese frame available for my setup.

I'm gonna look for a used frame in my region and hope I can find something that works better.

My canyon spectral 27.5 rear triangle is bent and I'm looking for a new frame.

I had my eye on the AM831 but after reading Snacks his topic and FullCarbonAlchemist's suggestions, on that frame the bottom bracket will probably be too low.



Does someone know a fully trail frame that would work better with 27.5 wheels and a 160mm 27.5 fork?
