Price difference shouldn't be too different between 26 and 27. 5 parts. If it is, 27.5 would only cost slightly more, so why not wait a slight bit longer and go for that right off the bat, save yourself a couple thousand dollars in the long run.

That's no problem, seeing that i already have all the 26" parts that have come out of my previous rig.

Ah I see now. Hub is still 150. What kind of help are you looking for?

Ehm, what the best settings are like bottom bracket heigt,. I know the 2015 doesnt changed much compared to the 2014 apart from the 27.5 wheel compatibility. The bike will be raced and will see bikeparks regularly.

It's all personal, try the different settings and see how you like it. I personally run low bb and short cs, but I'll change it for certain race courses. For really fast tracks I'll go long cs. and for some tight tracks I'll go high bb.

Thanks a lot for the advice, but have you already heard something about when the frame will be available?

Guys, need help!
My '09 Gambler FR 20 makes a creaking sound while pedaling, but it's not like the one in the video posted a few pages ago, where it makes the sound when pushed down stopped, this noise is only noticeable when riding and pedaling.

Next ride i'll try to film it so that you guys can understand what i'm saying but if you have any suggestions, i'm all ears!

Best regards!

Sounds like bottom bracket to me, strip it out and regrease the threads, if it still does it then new bb time.

Make sure the bolts to the shock is torqued correctly as loose bolts cause movement which in turn causes creaking, whilst your there you may as well take the bolts out and grease them up as dry bolts cause a slight binding which also causes creaks, very common on a multi pivot full suss frame

Nice shout guys!
Gonna check it out asap, as I'm gonna paint the frame so will use that time to get everything serviced and properly greased!
If it is the bottom bracket, it'll have to wait, although i thought they where far more expensive!!
