Did you confront the seller and demand for a refund?

Actually, for our terrain here and trails here, it is very rare that we need 220mm rotors unless you are riding your eMTB DH. If you are heading to Chiang Mai and riding down Doi Suthep and are a bit heavier set and tend to brake a lot, then yes, these 220mm rotors would help especially with brake fade.

actually with this new standard release, the fork manufacture sure will try to adapt and make compatible for DH fork. There is nothing we can do nor we can ignore. This is business trend.

I don't get what you are trying to explain here. "Fork manufacture sure will try to adapt and make compatible for DH fork" ?????

After it become main stream will change accordingly. Like boost standard.

What becomes mainstream? DH forks? What are you referring to the fork manufacturers that it will become mainstream?

you see.. now DH fork you want buy non boost also not available anymore. You get it or not?

So if 220mm become main steam, direct mount for DH fork do you think still will make 203mm standard anymore?

Oh, you are referring to standards. I think you got the standards confused right? Because boost is the sizing in terms of the gap. But even with forks, with boost and non-boost you have fork travels from 100mm all the way to 220mm.

The same with rotor sizes, from small all the way to large size. From thickness differences (thicker for ebike standards) but at the end of the day, the standards by which the rotors are usually used when mounted is either you use a 6 screw or a center lock.

So again, how do you take rotor sizes going mainstream in comparison to the boost standard? Because whether it is non-boost, boost and super boost, the fork travel will have different varying sizes based on the style of riding. Similar for rotor size, different people will have different uses for it. Nothing wrong with choosing the one that suits you the most.

that mean it is business talk. They force you to change.

imagine you use previous DH fork non boost. Now you want replace but no more brand new for non boost now.

Imagine in future one day brand new DH fork come with 220 direct mounting hole, but you got brand new 203mm rotor, how your feeling? I believe this gonna happen in future.

So what I mean is when a new standard release, when it become main stream, those manufacture will do something change on their product.

Of course, they are a business not a fcking charity. They want you to change but you as the consumer have the right not to change. But first and foremost let me tell you a secret, you don't mount the rotor to the fork.

p.s. no one is forcing you to change, I know a lot of riders who are using non-boost standard equipment and now they enjoy getting bargains on equipment that are non-boost in nature. Also that allows for a good 2nd hand market for the non-boost standard bikes to be cheaper which gives a good lower barrier of entry for many folks.

now spare part less and less for old standard. Especially those common brand which many people like to use.

need to resist a change also not so easy.

Sorry for you bro, btw SuperBoost is already on its way. The new Evil bikes already sport SuperBoost standards especially for the rear

this is why my wheelset still OOS. Chase supplier almost 1 month already.

It's been a long time since my last input, how's every dai-gor and si-fu?

A little bit of update for my bike hunt.
I'm going to get a Polygon T7 (Closed some sales, got a bit extra on the commission), deposit paid now waiting for stock to come, seller said estimated it will arrive by Feb 2022.

In the mean time, I had got myself a 24" fat bike, it is for getting myself into shape before the new T7 reach. It's a China made fat bike that not really fit my geometry, but that's what a RM800 bike get you, right?
After getting the bike, I had changed some component, e.g. stem, handlebar, F & R derailleur & shifter (although still China made, but a length better then the one comes with the bike), saddle and a dropper post (Short legs ).

After 20years, I can say that I'm totally out of shape, my 1st ride doesn't even last for 15mins....

Well that's warps up my updates.

Happy riding!!

Good luck have fun.

Normally year end buy bike same like year end buy car. Got discount on old model. But how come you need wait so long till Feb 2022?

What i understand is shortage....

Yeah it is a global supply issue, my friends who work at the bike shop also constantly waiting for stocks to arrive.

Ya, the seller told me the same thing, not only bikes, but bike components and accessories also the same situation.
