That depends quite a lot on frame choice and component selection. For most bikes we are probably looking at early to mid July currently. If in doubt please email about specific bike and build options you would like and we can give you a more precise timeline.

Thanks!

The Flaanimal frame is extremely strong. You can safely use up to 6nm with no issues if your clamp supports it.

Ted,

It may not be entirely possible to removed chain grease stains from Cerakote. Cerakote is ceramic particles suspended in a polymer and may have more poreosity than other coatings – meaning that if you get chain grease in it and it soaks into the pores it may embed beyond a detergent’s ability to penetrate and remove it.

Areas such as chainstays that are subject to grease would be better to protect with a 3M clear vinyl such as ClearBra, or any mainstream chainstay protector.

It is also a useful idea to wipe down the bike when cleaning with Bike Lust or even a spray on car wax as a protective layer. That will help seal pores in the coating and provide a sacrificial layer for dirt and contamination to stick to and then wash off.

The Duo will only fit if you buy or manufacture small offset mounting hardware for it. There isn’t enough clearance for everything at the lower eyelets as-is.

Thanks for the response Steve.I missed this point and now reading the Flanimal tech paper again, I see it. Looking at the image in the link you posted, that looks to be a flat mount brake, so with the adaptor I would assume a post mount brake would be rotated even further around (clockwise) the center of the wheel? I am understanding the mounting set-up correctly. Any chance there is an image of a Flanimal with a post mount brake available to view?

You will need our off the back slider + your adapter in order to properly run post mount brakes on Flaanimal:

The White Industries split is perfectly fine to use.

Naked Flaanimal have a black ED (anti rust coating) and a single layer of satin clear coat.

Naked Traildonkey have visible carbon weave with some sections smoked opaque black, and all covered with gloss clear coat.
