Ok I pressed buy and need to order a few bits so I can get it built at the weekend - just the bits that are a different fit to my current bike the main stuff is coming off. So:
Headset says Zero stack 44 top and Zero stack 56 bottom. I already have a pretty new Hope ZS44 in my outgoing frame so I’m assuming no issue to use that and just buy a new ZS56 bottom cup?
Rear brake mount says Post 160 and it looks like this is via a custom mount that comes on the frame. Presumably I can fit a post to post 160-180 front mount that Hope sell (think it is mount L) to this adapter? Or do I need a spacer kit of some kind?
The only other diff is the seat tube which is 31.6 v my current 30.9, but was just gonna get a USE shim until this dropper dies, for the sake of £6.
Cheers for any pointers.
I’ve got one of these so can help a bit.
Headset yes you’re right.
The rear brake does use a custom mount supplied with the frame and yes you can just fit an adaptor, no spacers needed.
The shim will be fine, I’ve also done this and had no problems so far.
It’s a great bike, you’ll love it.
Just the kind of reply I was hoping for Squealer!
Cheers pal
I forgot to mention that the stock monarch doesn’t do the bike justice and is well worth upgrading at some point.
It will do for now! No further funds

Definietly this - the Monarch is shit. Mine feels way better with a coil shock - they're brilliant bikes and lots of fun.

I’m using a cane creek in-line coil now, the back end was ok with the monarch but now it’s loads better.
Make sure you give enough cable length under the B.B. so it doesn’t rub when the suspension compresses.
