no i have not unfortunately.
Also, you'll need some torx security bits for some of the bolts on the rail. T25 and T40 i know for sure. Just buy a set and it'll have the right sizes.
oh and a nice easy cheap upgrade is the bontrager hub poe upgrade. some pawls and spring is all you need.
Keep on top of Bolt checks.
be aware if knock block breaks, fork crown may contact frame. People have added a CC +3 or +6 crown race with positive results.
The difference the compound of sides knobs between maxxterra and max grip is only 2a durometer.
The difference between the center knobs is 8a.
Is the 8a you’re giving up in rolling resistance worth the trade off for an extra 2a in cornering grip? Unless it’s a DH or enduro bike, I’ll stick...
I have a xl rail. The large rail was way too small for me. I thought the xl would be big before I got it but it’s great.
I am 188cm.
do u ride downhill much? A longer bike will feelmore stable downhill and at speed. I feel much more centeredon a xl frame than a large. Feels like I’d be otb...
XL with 50mm rise bars and 35mm length stem (all my bikes have 35-40mm stems) for me at 188cm. I could do with less rise bars but i like more of a freeride setup.
Large was way too small for me.
I'm using the 150 dropper from my 9.7. I have it slammed and the 150mm is just about perfect for me...
My previous x2 had to be serviced/fixed 4 or so times due to it having issues. Fox was without the parts for a few months on some occasions.
I had a ccdb air before that and it blew up 4 or so times as well.
Running a stronger or as strong casing in the rear instead of the front makes more sense. The rear gets loaded up more than the front, so the extra stiffness is warranted there. I’d recommend a dd dhr2 maxxterra 2.4 for the rear. Assuming you’re not using inserts...
