Big AZZ format.
could be some tight clearance on the top shock mount with larger shocks
the top of the shock/bottom, will get destroyed

Holy Mother Nature, how did you manage to get that? If there are any other high-res pictures on your disks, please don't hide them from us

It seems, they used every 2nd spoke hole for mounting the secondary sprocket carrier to the hub shell.

I wonder if you could mount the shock upside down. Would give a bit more room between link and spring seat collar and would put the reservoir in a saver place.
You could mount it upside down, but then reservoir would not allow the suspension to go into full travel. The reservoir would be hitting the downtube.
Remote reservoir would be by far the best option.
yeah, if you look at how the suspension compresses, the reservoir would hit the downtube as mentioned..
only one person making those

But would it though, as there is already the cut out/wishbone hole for the reservoir in the downtube as it is??
im guessing the shock will also move forward while getting close to the top of the hole. under full compression the reservoir would seem awful close. maybe thats why the shock is in the position its in
Yeah I know what you're saying, I'm just wondering if the recess will be enough to clear it in that way. Bit too hard to tell from the pics so far.
@IH8Rice: Is Fox DHX RC4 a dual port shock?
NO!! Say it isn't so! REAL engineers that know what they're doing?? This could put all the E-Engineers out of business! Grab your guns folks!!
dunno. why?
Its pretty easy to mod a shock towards a remote reservoir - Push did it for DHXes AFAIK.
did geometry, measurements, frame sizes etc. ever come out on this frame?
I don't know, but when they do, you can bet one or two people will question them and three people from new zealand will defend them as being THE BEST IN THE WORLD ZOMG and then suggest that we're all a bunch of idiots for questioning what the gods/two dudes from NZ have created...
bwahahaa
Straight outta facebook:
specs stack like this-
Head angle 65
Seat tube angle 57.3
Top tube length 23
Chain stays 16.25
BB height 14"
Head tube dia 1.5
Seat tube dia 30.9
Travel 9.15"
Wheel spacing 150mm
hahaha and then we'll have another 15 pages of arguments about moar shimz, root beer and god knows what else
thanks!
i'm also dumb and would want to know...
I was told...
TT for the large is 610mm, small is 565mm
73* effective seat tube angle
64.5* HA
WB lengths change throughout the travel. Short when static and sag point is normal
Geo is Rad IMO, exactly what I'd want. Maybe a touch slacker, but a headset can do that.
Well done fellas. Now they just have to last, and have no other issues.
Design seems great. Floater option would have been nice, but a bit of brake squat works well, especially with the short stays.
Can't wait to get a ride on one.
and I'm defiantly no Kiwi.
Right is right. Although I don't endorse the use of aluminum.

Is it 83 mm or 73 mm BB shell?
Presuming they left the main pivot and gearbox at the very similiar locations as Lahar has had and they didn't modify Alfine hub, which is 135mm wide, to make it narrower I doubt 73mm BB crankset has wide enough q-factor to make space for such a wide part.
reasonable conjecture. the lahar uses a low profile mounting flange / nut for the rohloff that involves cutting the axle ends, and still needs an 83mm bb to clear the frame.
oh, and: OMG, THE H/A IS TOO STEEP & BB TOO HIGH!!!!!
i do like the stubby chainstays however. the only thing i'd change on the lahar.
You forgot about the fact it needs a fenduuur aswell. Zerode=failure.
It's got an 83 mm bb shell.
And at least it doesn't look like a bong . BOOM
(I'm in no ways serious and not starting a lahar fight .just rip returning)

I'm sorry, you are wrong.
Serious or joking? Zerode has 14" high BB, what's the Lahar number?
seriously joking

But what the heck? Jammed chain? I thought the whole point was to get away from drivetrain issues.

maybe hopped off the plastic guide up by the gearboxx?
maybe a chain tensioner issue? unfortunately it isn't a concentric pivot, there is still some chian growths thus the need for a tensioner.
What does "jammed chain" mean? It slipped off the sprocket, or got stuck in that plastic chainguide, or got stuck between gearhub and frame?
indeed. not much to go wrong there. i've not had a single glitch in 4 yrs. failed tensioner or bad chain perhaps.
zomg teething issues. needs more yaw/torx/shimz/patentz/fendarz to succeed.
it is funny to me how much pressure is on this frame. somebody farts on it in NZ and it gets posted here on RM.
