Hello and hi. I'm new and I've just bought a Morewood Shova 5.2 frame. There is limited information out there on this frame and first things first I was going to have the frame resprayed (currently sand) and buy bearings etc for when they are required- where would I get them from?

 

On the frame - is there a common place where they fail? (if they fail)

 

What size shock is it? I've got a Kashima 200x51 shock going spare that I can use..

 

Thoughts on the frame? I can only see 3/4 reviews on MTBR for the frame.

 

 

I love single pivot frames and the industrial-look :D

They don't.

Perfect size.

An old design - climbs like a bit of a pig, but descends like a beast. Best run with a 140mm fork, but if you're up for a bit more you can shoehorn a 210x60 DHX Air in the back and run a 160mm 36 up front too.

Then you have found the right machine. Happy trails.
