Just leaving this here for future buyers... So I have been in communication with Airwolf regarding the poor Quality of their bolts that they use. They wanted to get out of sending me new bolts since they see it as Consumables, and the warranty only covers the frame, even though I only received the Frame in November and the bolts are already worn out. So in my opinion they will use anything to try and get out of warranty claim. I love the Stumpjumper frame itself but I do think you will need to think twice before ordering from Airwolf. Perhaps another manufacturer that has better service would be a better option, else I would recommend going for another frame as I doubt if anything should go wrong with this frame that you will get assistance from Airwolf. I needed to threaten them with registering the transaction as fraudulent with my credit card company due to the frame being unusable without the bolts. They have agreed to send new bolts now, for me it was about the principle of the matter of supply poor quality bolts, I will be opting for the Specialized bolts kit and letting something machine the other bolt for me that needs Right hand thread as well.

1) You can use a latheman neighbor to make all new bolts.
2) You can buy original kit and use a latheman neighbor to make only right main pivot bolt.
3) ...more expensive methods...

Thank you very much for those drawings of the Main pivot bolt, I will try and get a hold of someone with a lathe that can cut me the bolt. I will be purchasing the full kit to replace the other bolts as well.

So overall how are ye finding this frame? What where the major issues?

My first ride with it will be this weekend, will report back then.

For me the build went quite easily. I went with the bushings as suggested in page 11 of the forum for the rearshock, I have the flip chip but opted for the fixed bushing rather. It did seem like the spacing for the flip chip was to narrow on my frame so I would have needed to file of the edges of the flip chip in order for it to fit in, the holes currently doesn't line up properly.

As stated in the previous messages the front bolt of the rear shock that comes with the frame is extremely low quality, the head of my bolt broke of while I was just setting the sag. Routing of the cables went quite easily using the cheap routing kit from AliExpress. It can probably go easier if you remove the rear triangle, I kept it on while routing the cables so that was the hardest corner to make.

I did receive everything that was indicated by Airwolf. Seatpost clamp is very large as other members have stated, I will be replacing this in the future, stock in south africa is just very scarce, would most like need to import it as well.

Hi Everyone,

To those who have built it up what torque specs did you use for the frame bolts, linkage etc?

Thank is advance

Hello everyone

Found this forum when I started looking up building my own my from a Chinese Carbon frame. So far I have found lots of great info on here, decided on my first build is going to be with the Stumpjumper clone

Looking forward to contributing and getting further advise on the forum as well.
