Tire size clearance 2x
Looking at the 4.2 frame but moving most of my current build over. It is 105 11 speed hydraulic 2x. Wondering if when running a 2x will that limit tire size max? Thx
Howdy!
The front derailleur won’t decrease your tire clearance. You’re good to go with this groupset, and the frameset fully supports it.
Thanks!

Bibs
Good afternoon. I bought a pair of the 3.0 bibs. I have a few pairs of Rodeo bibs. It is clear my usual large might not be right in these. Suggestions on going to the next size up? Do I need to go up 2? I have not worn these….would I be able to return them for a larger size (even if I need to pay upfront for the larger size?
Thanks. AlexAlex,
You can exchange any bibs that have been tried on and have not been ridden in. Just send them back to us with a note requesting an exchange for another size:

internal storage
hello,
I was wondering if I can remove a small plastic piece on the inside bottom of the downtube underneath the cargo door securement post. I believe this small plastic piece is interfering with trying to slide a storage bag into the downtube. Does that make sense? I can email a picture the plastic piece if needed.
Either way, I am loving my Donkey. Keep up the good work!
Please advise.
Thanks,
RandyRandy,
You can remove that. That is just a cable tie down which helps prevent cable rattle. If you are storing things in the downtube, the items themselves may provide the compression needed to prevent rattling.

Flaanimal 5.0 Rear Eyelet Weight Limit
Hi, Can you tell me the weight limit that the two eyelets on the bottom part of the seat stays can support for a rear rack?
You’ll want to keep in mind terrain for evaluating how much weight to put on the eyelets. The bolts can shear in rough terrain above 20kg. It is difficult to know the exact conditions that become “too much”, so playing it safe and distributing the load well across the bike is a good idea. The eyelets themselves are stronger than the bolts.

Spork 3.0 paint options/ custom paint
Hi,
I am interested in getting a Spork 3.0 to replace the fork on my Standert Erdgeschoss 2026 (white rabbit colorway). I’m pretty sure the Spork is compatible but I was wondering if there was a custom paint option as I would like to match it to the bike colorway as best as possible.
Thanks and all the best,
TravisTravis,
Yes the Erdgeschoss is compatible with our tapered steer tube forks.
You would have two options for paint to match. Since your frame is white, the match with white Cerakote would be easy (in Storm Trooper White). If you wanted a gloss paint / clearcoat coating instead of our in-house Cerakote, we could send out to have that done, but the cost would be about 50% higher than our in-house coating. If you’d like to learn more about the differences between paint and Cerakote, please review this page:

Flaanimal 6.0 steel base colours
Good Morning,
I write you to know what’s the base color on the new flaanimal 6.0 steel and if it’s possible to have it without decals.
Kind regards
Filippo6.0 is currently available in two base colors with no decals.
- Black
- Sand
On our configuration page each option can be selected. Decals are optional while configuring and can also be removed at any time that you own the bike.

Spork 4.0 1 1/8 straight + qr
I’m wondering if the spork 4.0 will have a straight option with QR like the spork 3.3. Want to make sure I don’t miss out on getting one that’d be compatible with my bike
There will be no straight steer tube Spork 4.0. The 3.3 will remain our only straight steer tube fork option. Thankfully it’s massively capable.

Spork QR retention?
I was wondering if for the straight steerer QR version of the spork, I saw on the product page you mentioned you need a longer skewer. I was wondering if there’s any other stuff that is special with the QR? Like is there a lawyer lip type thing? Or is there any sort of extra security for the skewer?
Also, what does the watching qr thing that you mentioned do?The QR Spork is supplied with a specific QR axle / lever and “dropout” hardware when configured as a QR fork at the time of purchase. Our QR system is compatibile with QR hubs, but is not a true “dropout”, because the QR axle has to be completely removed from the fork in order to pull the hub and wheel out of the fork.
You can see in the image below that the parts in red that the hub nubs engage with behave like a traditional dropout, but the fork endcaps themselves don’t have a dropout feature. Because of this there is no need for extra “lawyer tabs” or extra safety features for wheel retention. Simply thread in the QR axle, tighten the cam snugly, and go riding.

Touch-up paint?
Hi there,
My brother let me borrow his Flaanimal to ride Unbound (fun story, it was featured on your Instagram!) this year. With all the mud it’s gotten a few little scratches on the steel portion of the bike. I’m wondering if there’s any touch-up paint that perhaps either you have to sell, or would recommend? I’m thinking both type of paint and color. The scratched bits are black and the bike is not custom finished. And while I’ve got ya, the Rodeo Labs lettering is beginning to flake off, is it possible to order some new decals? Thanks so much!
SeanSean,
Congrats on riding Unbound. This year looked like an absolute doozy.
The main thing you want to do with scratches is to clean them and cover them before corrosion sets in. You’ll want to clean the area very with with something like Isopropyl alcohol. If you see any rust has formed, you would want to clean the area even more with a red scotchbrite pad to get the rust off. After that, a Rust-O-leum paint and primer in black would cover the area well. Consider masking just the area that you want to cover with painters tape so that the overspray doesn’t hit the rest of the frame and the repair looks tidy.
