Does this mean shipments to North America will cease?
Who knows, euro too since CRC/Wiggle is the main bike shop for the UK and europe. Maybe they don't have an exclusive license.

I hope not, this was a serious contender for my 2022 project!

What a beautiful color !!! What color is?

reddi

I called it "dark candy red" and sent Adam this picture as reference. After two days, he sent me a picture of a test piece to confirm.
Yes, the result is a bit lighter as expected, but i'm totally fine with it.

Nice looking bike!
How do you like DT shock ?

reddi

Can't tell about it so far, as i didn't even ride enough to find the right pressure. And it is my first full suspension bike, so i might need some time to get used to it.
I'll post a review in a few weeks :)

Hey Guys, anyone have a link to the shock hardware? I bent mine.

You can meassure it and go to your local hardwarestore...or send adam/carbonda a massage (which will take a while due to Chinese newyear).

Ps how did you manage that?

That must have been a hard hit/landing?  Nothing else damaged on the shock or frame?

I'd contact Adam at Carbonda and try to get a replacement, he got me new lower pivot hardware anyway.

Would be nice to be able to source some of this stuff local though.

Uh, I think I ride this a bit harder than most intended use is what it comes down to. I treat it as a little trail bike rather than an xc weapon. As far as measuring it, and local hardware store sourcing, I have yet to find that male/female combo. Likely just need to look harder. Adam hasn't gotten back to me about it.

And nothing else damaged :) I've gone through a rear wheel, smashed a derailleur, and pinched a few tires but the frame itself is still rock solid!!

This shouldn't bent by riding hard with a working shock/linkage!
I presume you dailed in your shock as it should? You did not blown through your shock wright?
If not, I would check the bearings...
