Run variant by variant through the mountain bike builder’s own engine. Every sentence below is the checker’s, unedited. Nothing here says this part fits your bike; it says what it does and does not fit among the parts we hold.

Checked against 5916 verified mountain bike parts in this catalog. 3003 produced no finding of any kind; that is Spur Carbon (2025). Spur Carbon (2026) clears 2989. Each variant produces 248 to 261 distinct errors and 10 distinct warnings.

Checked against

The checker ran this model against every verified part below that it has a slot for, the same way it checks a build in the builder. What follows is the verdict it actually produced for that specific pairing — not a recommendation, and not a guarantee any of these parts fits your own bike.

6 of 1701 counterparts with a page of their own that the checker actually probed this model against, in alphabetical order by brand and model — never by price, popularity or the verdict itself.
