Can you unscrew the big axle and take a picture of the internal space between the bearings? Check if there is a spacer there?
In such manner :
Can anyone confirm that a piggyback air shock like the Super Deluxe will fit in this frame?
In my correspondence with BXT, the rep claims that piggyback air shock won't fit in this frame. It looks like the piggyback might fit similar to the hightower as long as the air can fits in the ~50mm width of the shock tunnel. I've attached the images the BXT rep sent me.
The rep said:
The dimensions of the shock seem wrong, and maybe the rep is just trying to sell me the deluxe inline shock they carry.
ok, I read that they work with mineral oil, what type of oil do you use? overheating problems? Thank you.
What's not right? It looks pretty good to me.
Cables through the headset: yes, it's a bit of a pain when you're building it, but worth it for the clean lines
People are talking about the seat tube length: it's shorter than a Genius, Epic Evo and Anthem Advanced. 10mm longer than a Top Fuel
Chainstays are shorter than all of the above. That's a good thing in my mind
Wheelbase is in the shorter end of modern 'normal'. So it won't feel like too much of a tank
BB drop is the same as a Spark
He said:
So, they accept custom molds production (I bet not cheap) and advices for this mold (already done), not changing the mold.
Yes, we have completed 3D printing and mold development. So the geometric parameters will not change. thank you
So you want a short travel trail bike not a lightweight xc race bike?
Anyone else running this frame?
Seems like the best value chinese carbon frame at the moment - $1150 AUD delivered off aliexpress.
Can a 180mm dropper be used on a large frame?
