Hey. You can see the tire clearance in the first two pictures I sent .. the seatstays looks like they would be ready for 29 inch. The chainstays offer less room, but enough for a little mud.

hmm i wonder how close it will be with a 2.6 Schwalbe Albert.
 
Does anyone know if it will be possible to fit a oneup v3 210 completely into the s2 chassis?
 
It seems that the 170mm stock dropper leaves lots of room from collar to seattube (if that’s the right wording).
I am going for the 210 OneUp - it’s the post with the shortest insert length and it seemed that there is no limitation in the seattube for the 210. I will let you guys know when the bikes ready.
 
Thank you very much... I will definitely remove the 170 immediately, if it is possible to insert the 210 completely it will definitely be my choice possibly reduced to 200 or 190.

One of my buddies back in the US got the podium to test a few months before it was released. He was sent 3 different forks, every single one of them leaked.

I wouldn't be putting my hard earned into a first gen USD fox fork tbh. Other options for high end forks that would be having my money over a Fox product

Can't believe you've still not ridden it 😭

I'm desperately waiting on mine haha
 
Has anyone reported motor rattling with the E-Druid? There's a developing story on the Crestline thread about motor rattling that may be due to it's rear suspension design having heavier chain growth and kickback. As high-pivot idler designs like the Forbidden specifically address this aspect, it would be interesting to get some anecdotal input here, understanding of course that this bike is hardly in the hands of reviewers or buyers at this point.

that's a no. the s3 I think has a 290mm insertion length, so it won't even fully take a 210mm one up dropper. looks like that dropper is 305mm up to the collar

They say you can fully slam a 180 on s1… that is why im asking for the 210 on s2…

Interesting, I'm part of the "july release" batch of bikes and was told by WWC today that they don't have any updates from Forbidden so they're sticking with the September release date.

I cannot believe how bad this fork seems to be made. I have been hearing the same from different sources. I have an Intend fork on one of my bikes and it is flawless. And for a rather boutique brand the fork is lighter, looks proper made and is even cheaper....
Seems to me they just build a fork "upside down" and removed the link between the stanchions... There is so much wrong with it.... jeeezzz.

I’ve ridden 2 different Amflows now and they both rattled, one wasn’t terrible but the other was worse than my old EP8
