Problem: It is unclear how to mount the trunnion shock into frame:

Frame itself has ~ 58.4mm between bearings.
But trunnion inner bolt shims came with the frame is 2.4mm wide. 58.4 - 2x2.4 => 53.6mm, but trunnion shock is 54mm => it does not fit between the shims

The part of the frame is not flexible at all to compensate the 0.4mm.

Q: Anyone can measure the length between bearings?

JFI: the transportation bar is not 54mm, but a bit smaller

@carbonazza Thank you. will go into the direction too.


Can I continue with bunch of stupid questions?

1) do you know the link to the right bushings on bike24? I know it is 8x22.2. I found 2-3 of them on b24, but cannot understand if it is for sidluxe or not.
2) how many sets of them I need for trunnion? I found that standard shock needs 2x sets of bushing. Is it applicable for trunnion or just one is enough?
3) anything else I need to buy to setup the shock? Any mounts? Ah, probably shock-pump

Thank you,

Could someone recommend fork? Unfortunately I am far away from MTB to understand anything about it

RS/FOX. RS is cheaper, and I do not know if fox much better because it has 2x price
If RS, Do I need remote (for XC races)? I heard that Deluxe is fine for climbing without lock, but sidluxe is more DC shock that is why remote is necessary for uphill. Probably RT3 can solve it? What the f* is MegNeg? About SIDLuxe - not clear if trunnion has remote


My short list:

RockShox Deluxe RT3 Debon Air 165x42.5mm   268.9
RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate RL Solo Air   285.71
RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT   286.9811939
Fox Suspension Float DPS Factory 3Pos-Adj SV   488.49
Fox Racing Shox Float DPS EVOL SV 3POS Factory Trunnion Rear Shock - 2022 Model   528.57
Fox Float DPS Kashima Factory Series 3Pos-Adj Trunnion Evol SV   569.5218394

Thank you,

@ilyamaksimov, @carbonazza Thank you. I am going to L.

My calculations are here:

If I summarize all the basic math:

1) most of the droppers does not have offset => saddle moves forward even a bit more
2) The main diff for the frame makes seat-angle and Saddle-BB distance is ~8cm diff from old geometry => it is the ~same diff like Road and TT bike saddle

^^^ all the things are the ~same on M and L frames, so the only important diff is Reach

I do not care about stack in terms of saddle-height - it is just 1.5cm diff. But in terms of handle-bar height, sometimes lower stack helps to lower the handlebar without slam it down too much.

And looks like the main diff is really only top-tube length, which is 61 or 64cm, and to compensate your saddle-handlebar distance all you need is stem which is 3cm longer or shorter. So, frame M+10cm stem = L+7cm stem or M+6cm = L+3cm. Looks simple - all I need is to decide stem length.

Small point that L frame adds 0.5cm _back_ to the saddle => to hold the same top-tube you should substract the 0.5cm from stem too.

If I go M => it is not very aggressive position compared to L, I can compensate it with stem, but, probably it is not idea on descend. and 3cm shorter wheelbase, which, probably makes it a bit more nimble, which is a plus for the long bike
If I go L => stem is shorter, and body position is a bit lower too, the only negative thing that stack increased, which prevents you from going lower with handlebar

I am 181cm and 81cm inseam.

What size do you think?  Background: road and a bit XC races

Very primitive calcs:

Top-tube thoughts:
  On my old cannondale flash 29er L-size: 62cm top-tube and ~10cm stem + -2cm offset, so, total saddle-handlebar is ~74cm
  FM936 can have the same 74cm on M (61cm TT) + 2cm off + 11cm stem or L (64cm TT) + 2cm off + 8cm stem

Reach thoughts:
  Cannondale has 42.5cm reach, so looks like FM936 is very long M is 47.5cm and L is 50cm.
  Probably seat-tube angle eats about ~3cm (maybe I am wrong here) and if I remove seatback offset another 2cm, total 5 => 42.5cm or 45cm

Sounds like I have to go for M with long stem, but absolutely not sure, because I am non experienced technical XC racer

Thank you for any advice

Looks like I calculated tt wrong and fixed it, but still not sure which is better
