Anyone know how long offset bushings.com take to deliver. It's all I need to get my meta on the trails. Ordered a week ago now
Took me less then a week to get them to holland. Might take a couple of days longer to get them to italy.

Commencal still not deliviring the bushings with frame only?

Surely it would be unreasonable to expect them to supply bushings given that eyelet hole sizes vary from shock to shock? Someone correct me if I'm wrong of course.

If commencal choses to run a non standard bushung size they should atleast sell them or be able to deliver them. Everyone that buys frame only has to get them custom made.

Dh has adjustable dropouts

Indeed but the width is still 150mm and the hanger is identical (well slight diff curves to FH but that makes no difference).

Ive got a DH hanger here and indeed its slightly longer then the FR one so thats why the axle is longer but from what I can see the DH rear axle will fit the FR model, just stick out slightly more.

Here is FR hanger

http://www.probikeshop.com/en/gb/commencal-supreme-fr-12mm-13530001-deraileur-hanger/85080.html

and here is DH hanger

http://www.probikeshop.com/en/gb/commencal-derailleur-hanger-supreme-dh-v3-12530003/85074.html

The Fr one has slightly diff flange on it, I believe the DH will fit but not as snug but should be ok when tightened up, I just hapened to see a DH one on ebay for a few quid so bought it as an emergency spare for my FR.

BUT it does look like Ill end up buying the commencal DH axle as cant really see any reasonably priced alternative QR/Maxle type ones.

We usually have around a 2-3 day machining period. Every set is made to order.

Postage is then around 3 days to Italy. I can look into it if they haven't arrived. Just PM me your order number or send us an email through the site (probably faster!).

Hope that helps,

Jeron

Meta's drive side pivot bolt for the chainstay keeps coming loose, I hear it's a common problem. What should I do? I have no loctite.

My was coming loose when new after few rides and few tightens all good
Just keep an eye and tighten bolt after each ride. Alternatively buy loctite its good to have one at home.

It's a bit of a headache for me to get to, with the 36t ring I was running I'd have to remove the cranks and the chainguide in order to get to it. Less bother with my 32t, though it's still fiddly. I guess I hould probably get some locktite if it doesn't settle...

hello bikers! im planning on investing in a 2015 commencal meta sx 650b frame, and id like to build it as a tough decender, fast bike. im looking forward to race it as well next season hopefully. im 178 cm tall and because of that i cant decide between size M or L frame. website says from 168-178 i should get myself a M and from 178-188 a L. my idea is to put a 35 mm stem on the large sized one, but cant really decide. can anyone provide some tips in getting the right size?

Hello everyone, I've been reading the specs of the Meta AM V4 and I can't finally get it if it's able or unable to mount a front mech...
Your answers are welcome
Thanks.

Pretty much sure it isn't. No where to mount one.
