I’m 5’6 with 29 or 30 inseam. I tried to do the math the best I could and it seemed like a 180 fully slammed might be right on the edge of being too high for me. I wondered if I ran a super low profile seat like an sq lab 611 it might fit perfectly

I have an SQ Lab 612R going on mine. 👍🏼 Just put in my 180, slammed without cable. 26” from center of crank spindle to back edge of seatpost seat clamp. Which is the exact distance as I was running on my old ebike. 🤘🏻😎

My tracking went live with FedEx. Got a notification that they have picked up my package and they estimate delivery by end of day tomorrow, which I doubt is true. I wouldn't expect those to be shipped next day air.

Mine went live today as well and claimed a delivery by end of today. In CO, so doubt that’s the case.

I think they are calculating from the date the label was created. Because I'm expecting it next Monday. So if it went out on the 9th, tomorrow delivery would be on point.
 
My tracking also went live. I wonder if my fork is included because my package still says 35lbs. I did order the fork separately
 
Pretty sure it’s label date because these can’t be shipped by plane. It should update soon.

On my current bike that measurement is 25.5 but I have a volt on it that’s like an inch taller than a 611. Putting the cable on doesn’t add anything?

Though I’m still dealing with ACL reconstruction recovery. Been a long year.

Delivered yesterday

Ordered with a rockshox vivid air but came with the rockshox coil spring instead 🤷🏽‍♂️ not sure if that's all that was available or my order got mixed up 😬 think I’ll march on with the coil though

These mix ups are concerning. Didn’t someone get the wrong dropout?
 
you have to specifically buy a red spring.

The better question is, what is the spring rate and is it gonna be good for you?
 
What color Fox fork comes with the bike? Thanks!

Mine set to arrive tomorrow !

It will at least a little bit I’m sure, but hopefully not too much. I haven’t put the cable in yet. I installed my rear brake and cable yesterday from my previous bike and once I installed it, I realized the old cable is too short on this bike, so I had to order some new rear brake cable. I’m still waiting on my wheels which are currently being rebuilt at Berd, so it will be a couple weeks before until I get them back to finish it. So I’m not in a hurry at this point.

Update 180 one up slammed with cable installed is 26 5/8 from center of crank spindle to back edge of seat clamp, fully extended. So you lose about 5/8 with cable installed. It’s also a bit of a pita to install and adjust, but I’m sure it will be amazing when it’s finished!

If you ordered the fork it’s supposed to be factory orange and the zeb is supposed to be electric red

A dude on the Facebook group got a black Zeb, but I’m not sure if he specifically asked for one or not.
