Metal Frames / Re: Fastwork NEW Enduro Frame (167 rear Travel)

I've been riding the B2 now for about 8mths in size large.
It's very good, running it with a manitou mara comp gen2 (self-equalising Aircon)
Dnm tru-3 shock is comes with is garbage unless you grind out the main piston.
Same issue as the rcp3 shock, where there is no rebound shim oil flow path.
Back to the B2.... Tyres it comfortably fits schwalbe eddy current 29*2.5 on 30mm Id rims.
Mud guard clearance is a bit tight, so I prefer Nobby nic or hans dampf 2.35s.
Cable routing out of the head tube is painful when building/replacing but doesn't actually rattle around much.
Paintwork is good, and durability is very good pivot bolts have reasonable coverage to stop the worst dirt ingress on the bearings.
Seat post depth allows a 210mm one-up post to be inserted with only 10mm shaft showing.
My other transx 200mm post has to have 30mm exposed.
Very playful bike to ride, with active suspension.
No complaints at all here.
