Thanks for ther reply. I am not sure how that would be for the medium size. Would the seat post be inserted further on a medium? Or is the minimum distance to top of dropper post the same for both? Hopefully somebody has a medium to measure. Thanks.

The M has 35mm less insertion length than the L.

I can measure a 120mm oneupv2 on a M if that would help. Personally would not go with a 150mm dropper on the M. I do mostly uplift downhill stuff and with the 120 the seat is just barely enough out of the way for me. I feel like the extra 3cm for the 150 would be too tall. But if you do more pedaling it might be worth it. I'm 172cm tall for reference. Maybe a low profile saddle would make it work? I just have a cheapo ztto one at the moment haha.

I am looking for a bike to build. I hate going much less than 160mm dropper. So I assume that a 150mm dropper on a medium frame will have a minimum height that will place the seat too tall for medium riders many to use. That is my fear with this frame. Probably best for a taller longer legged rider who prefers a somewhat smaller frame. Otherwise it seems like a great mtb design.

Hey guys, no one ever answered the previous guys question, can you run 150 front and rear suspension? i got a marzzochi bomber z2 im trying to save. or am i wasting my time.

thanks!

The suspension/shock sizes are listed on the website... Shorter travel in the front is going to change the geometry a bit.

Hello,

i receive my frame last week and i would like to know wich rear derailleur 12V is it possible to use.
shimano? sram? both?
thanks for your help

Looks like a standard straight hanger, so it can take SRAM derailleurs directly or Shimano ones with the horizontal extender link that Shimano includes.

Hy,

My frame and all parts have arrived. Now I would like to start with the assembly. What hardware do I need to install the Rock Shox Super Deluxe Ultimate in the rear. The Light Carbon page says (30x10). But I can't find anything suitable or I'm overwhelmed with the choice.Does anyone have a link for me? At best a shop in Europe.

Thanks
:)

I am running a 160mm bike yoke revive on a large frame and it fits perfect
What's your saddle height?
I want to mount 160 revive on L frame. My height is 755mm

RYTHM website put new picture ;)

One thing I don't get is that they list the $6k model as having a Bomber CR shock.

Given that the only person here to use one had to grind down the spring and adjuster collar in a sketchy-looking (but probably safe enough) way to get it to fit, I wonder how they pull that off. Limited to certain spring rates they can add a narrow spacer to maybe?

I wait to see some video with setup, perhaps they have a solution
