    Vertical play on new frame???

    Thank you for explaining, that was very helpful. It's the upper shock mount that has play, the holes in the mounting flanges are 0.2 mm larger than inside diameter of the axle bush. On the lower shockmount there's no play and the mounting holes are the same diameter as the axle bush.

    Vertical play on new frame???

    What if they're already tightened? Is it possible to tighten them too much? My previous bikes never had play in the shock even when the bolts were not fully tightened...

    minimum inner rim width for a 3" tire ?

    Thank you, then I'll probably stick with what I have. It's Halo Contra and I don't have any practical reason for using a 3 inch tire, I just wanted to :)

    minimum inner rim width for a 3" tire ?

    Thank you. Can you recommend a 24 inch rim that has 40mm inner width? The widest rim from Halo is 35mm i think.

    minimum inner rim width for a 3" tire ?

    So 3" on 26mm would be a recipe for disaster?

    minimum inner rim width for a 3" tire ?

    What is the minimum inner width for a 3" inch tire? In this article it says your rim width should be between 32% to 70% of the tire width. 32-70% of 3"(76.2mm) is between 24.384 mm and 53.34 mm. : https://bikerumor.com/2016/08/12/tech-story-match-bicycle-tire-width-rim-width-best-results/

    Buying a 8000w E-bike?

    A guy here on the forum said that his enduro/aliexpresss bike started to twist when he leaned into corners. They don't make the fastenings on the swingarm correctly and then when they assemble it, they apparently just bend the them towards the bearing, which means the fastenings arent straight...

    Manufacturers and dealers to avoid

    I see that Aliexpress has already been mentioned on page 14, and I totally agree. I bought a frame from them over a year ago.The only thing I had bought from china before was an android TV box that actually turned out to be very good. That wasnt the case with aliexpress. The tabs on the...

    Halo wheels

    A set of Halo T2 wheels from Triton Cycles UK, what the heck are these cuts in the rims? I guess they are weld seams? One of them is pretty deep. Will this be okay?

    VECTOR frames; Good or crappy, like China frames ?

    Thank you. Good to hear, I talked to a guy some time ago, who said the same as you, that's how its should be. The china frame however didnt have that. Good to hear that the Vector frames are made properly :)

    VECTOR frames; Good or crappy, like China frames ?

    Addy, could you describe what it was like to put the swing arm on? Does it have shims on both sides of the "tabs" on the swing arm or just on the outside?
