Which size would you recommend for 170cm, size small or Medium?

I will use as trailbike 120/120mm...

Medium + short stem.

Today I cut the axle to 80.5mm and the problem has been solved, there is no more play.

Just finished my build. Target weight was under 11kg and landed on 10,8 total with pedals.
I hope I can come out on a suspension tuning ride tomorrow.

Looks amazing! Wow, fantastic weight. Are you using carbon bars?

Thank you! Yes I'm using a New Ultimate carbon bar.

Your jeffsey, needed headset bearing cups.  The chinese frame has built in integrated cups,  the bearing sits direct in the frame.

I payed 350€ for them on sale half a year ago. It's non boost carbon wheel set that I drive with problem solvers adapters. Can't find a link sorry.

6 months old, so they are cheap, light and (somewhat) durable. Nice work.

Hey guys,
anyone checked the rear travel when using a 165x42.5 instead of 165x40mm?
Also the tyre clearance when fully compressed with 29x2.35 or 29x2.4 tyres?

Yes. This topic has been discussed over and over in this 100+ page thread. 165x42.5 works fine, but 165x40 is the maximum official spec from Carbonda. I am currently running 165x42.5 Fox DPS with a Maxxis Aggressor 2.4 rear, and there are no clerance issues.

Running 42.5 with a Maxxis Ardent 2.4 and no issues.

Hey guys I just saw that Vitus is using this frame for their new Cross Country bike. https://vitusbikes.com/collections/rapide-fs
