    New Bike Day 🎉

    Finally got Sweet 16 (of 35) out for a ride — thankfully the lockout was in the open position when the knob came off. The ride was crazy...definitely feel like I got what I paid for. Only had time for a quick 8 mile gravel loop but I was grinning like a fool the whole time.

    New Bike Day 🎉

    I continue to be floored by how amazing Crestline’s customer service is…literally sent the above note to Troydon via email just after I posted the above and he called me on my mobile in less than 15 minutes (I didn’t even ask for a call just advice on how to get it fixed) and is sending me a...

    New Bike Day 🎉

    Argh! Unfortunately, that NBD glow was crushed last night…literally ran one lap of my neighborhood street, plugged in the bike for the ride I planned to do in the morning and then took a look at the rear shock settings…all looked good so I sat on the bike to get a feel for where the lockout...

    New Bike Day 🎉

    The money pit finally made it home today! Can’t wait to take it out for more than just a spin around the block (even though that was super fun in Race mode). Big shoutout to First Mile Cycle Works for taking a lot of boxes and turning it into 55lbs of fun.

    (Almost) New Bike Day - RS180 Build

    I have not been lucky enough to find a set of tires I haven't struggles to get on and/or off my rims. The inserts definitely add a pain in the ass factor (and weight) but I like the insurance and extra bit of damping. I know a bunch of folks just run them in the rear…you might want to start...

    Getting "bushwhacked", shin guard recommendations?

    I use the Shadow Conspiracy shin guards when needed and sometimes just throw on the Ion padded socks if its just light stuff/pedal strike worries

    Crestline + PowerMore 250

    I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get the second 750wh battery for a backup

    Crestline + PowerMore 250

    I can see the logic and at 2/3 the cost of a full 750wh battery its not hard to just pass on one when I can get a full-size 750wh for $850 - Just wish the full-size battery wasn't so full size 😆

    Anyone using the PowerMore 250 with your Crestline?

    (Almost) New Bike Day - RS180 Build

    The build is honestly a little over the top but I blame the wait for the frameset (and then the wheelset when I didn’t see that there was a 3-week build time) as it gave me way too much time to order bling-bling Ti bolts and other replacement Gucci parts…but it is gonna be pretty. 🤩 As far...

    (Almost) New Bike Day - RS180 Build

    Stoked that the RS180 build out is almost finished...just stopped by the LBS to see how things were coming along and was surprised to see that it's nearly done when they've only had the big box of bits for a day...great shop! Here's the components I pulled together for the build: Wheels...

    Crestline RS180 Flipchip

    Thanks! The engraving is super hard to see with old man eyes.

    Guys, for the flipchip which way is LT vs ST? Can someone share a picture of yours in Long Travel?

    Anyone? What's your headset set to?

    Garmin or phone mounting on Silverback bike

    Looks like you need a quarter-turn female like this but you seem to be missing the outside holes to attach the adapter.

    Reach Adjust Headset Setting

    What are you guys running your Reach Adjust Headsets at? What size frame? I’m trying to decide on which way to go -5mm or +5mm for my RH3 — 5’10” and the graphic is saying go -5mm. Thoughts?

    Crestline RS180 Skid Plate?

    So for you something that hinges down (Internal hinge - probably a set pin) from the front, secured by a single "locking" bolt in the rear (where the back bolt is currently) would be better for quick switches? Maybe even some sort of captured screw/latch combo so you wouldn't even have to remove...

    Crestline RS180 Skid Plate?

    I had considered doing a complete replacement of the plastic lower but it seemed easier to go the skid plate route which actually makes replacing the battery worse. Not sure how to make that issue better…how would you want it to work? When I was looking at the full replacement approach I was...

    Crestline RS180 Skid Plate?

    Wasn’t super impressed with what they offered and I’m in the US which makes it super difficult to just being my bike by for a measurement but yeah, something like that combined with what these guys are doing plus something that deflects rocks away from the cooling fins. I’ll have a kydex/alu...

    Crestline RS180 Skid Plate?

    I’m still in the early stages of CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) on a prototype but would anyone else be interested in something like this? First versions will be heat-formed 1/4" Kydex possibly skinned with an aluminum plate bonded to the outside for extra protection. If others are interested...
