I own a 18" EPX complete with terrashark swing arm. After two rides in the trail, I find the 18" EPX virtual horizontal top tupe is too long (almost 60cm) for me that I have to stretch out both arms to reach the handle bar. To have a tighter "cockpit", I am thinking of swapping the terrashark swing arm to a 16" T-Bolt frame (as called in Malaysia). Has any bike mechanic or someone you knoe of done this before in Malaysia? Thanks in advance.

Hi Lam, You could try some the below tweaks before removing the terrashark swing arm. It might help! Lowering your seat or adjusting it forward... Alternatively change to a shorter stem 80mm or less. Shorter stem does help reduce the stretch.

Lam, u could view Malaysia Bicycle Buy N Sell, there's a guy named Azrool offering 16" frame c/w spring DNM shock. I'm staying in Rawang, and if you insist to let go your existing carbon swing arm, I am willing to swap it with you.
