Can you help me with the initial setup of RS Monarch Plus MegNeg? How many tokens for given pressure do you use?

I had one token in mine and seemed to be ideal.

I think you have to try it out. I run max tokens and one band in the megneg and 30% sag.

I understand that eventually I'll have to try it out, but now without lift assisted bike parks that sounds like a very long process

Just picked up a 2021 Commencal meta AM frame and got a pretty good deal as the bearings need doing and it was a bit tatty around the old invisiframe.

Anyway, I’ve got everything stripped down apart from the main Chainstay pivot, I’ve not gonna too hard at it yet for fear of tightening it if I turn it the wrong way, but I believe the smaller part comes out of the brake (non-drive side) is it a standard (lefty loosey) thread?

Any secret tips for taking this part of the frame apart?

I haven’t done a tear down in a minute, but I believe you need to wrench it from both sides simultaneously (loosening lefty, yes). This post has the schematic. https://www.reddit.com/r/commencal/comments/pb4fds/2021_commencal_meta_am_tear_down_and_findings/

Sorry when I said one token, I meant band. Also had the max tokens in my shock also. That set out seems ideal. I’m 190lbs though so may differ

Got it sorted now, it was ‘lefty loosey’ it was just bloody tight, not far off being seized!

Selling my AM29 in L in Austria if anyone is interested. Can probably ship in europe if I find a big enough box.

Does anyone in the UK happen to have some spare 'internal routing frame plugs' they'd be willing to sell? Ideally one without a hole and one with 2 holes?

Cheers!

FYI

A 200mm PNW Rainer or Loam dropper post will fit a size Large 2022 Meta TR.

There still seems to be room as well, so other longer droppers may also fit.

Rainer has insertion length of 300mm, Loam is 290mm.

One up 240mm dropper is 337mm. I cant confirm this would fit, but it looks likely.

There were a couple of other comments elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything definitive when I was looking, so figured this was a good place to put it.

Don't have a spare, but you can purchase them from Commencal

https://www.commencal-store.co.uk/internal-routing-seal-no-hole-c2x25918767

Alternatively, you could use a generic grommet.

I found then on the Commencal website, but 27€ shipping for a 2€ part is a bit too excessive haha!

I did see those generic ones, I’ll have a measure up and see what fits, cheers!
