I’m about 5’9” and running the RH2. I’m always in-between sizes and usually get the smaller size, which nowadays falls to about 450mm on most bikes (same as the RH2). I thought about getting the RH3 but 475mm reach would’ve been larger than anything I’d ridden before and I didn’t want to take...
I just spent a week in Lake Tahoe and put ~140 miles on the 75/50 version of the bike. It took me a while to dial it in but am really enjoying it also. Like you said, the motor noise is the only thing that's disappointing. I'll also switch over to Transmission at some point since I find myself...
I recently bought a RH2 7550 and finally rode it this week. It's taken me a while to dial in the fork, but I'm close. I put ~12psi more air in the main chamber and ~30psi more air in the ramp up chamber than Ohlins recommended, but it feels really good now, at least on the trails I rode today. I...
Hmm, I just did this measurement and got 24” as well, even though I’m only 5’9” and ordered the RH2. It has a 450mm reach, which is what I’m used to, but I’ve never gone any bigger. I wonder if got the wrong size??
Sweet! Looks like you have a different drivetrain and brakes than what's on their website now. Did you swap those out or did come with different parts before?
Is the frame for the 75/50 and the 50/75 the same? I know they have different colors and a couple of different components, but if one were to put a 160 fork and 150 shock on the 75/50 and flip the chip, would you essentially have the 50/75?
If so, I assume you can just lower the 180 fork on the...
Good choice! Don't the 350s come with the 36t star ratchet? If so, you'd have 10d of engagement.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that it's "350 with Ratchet System 24." I guess the 24 is the degrees of engagement you were referring to.
In the Loam Wolf review (the one that reviewed the Timp Peak only, not the roundup video), they mentioned that the front end of the bike was pretty stiff. The reviewers actually put a One Up bar on there to increase compliance. I mentioned this to a Fezzari rep and he conceded the point. This...
My guess is that the EP8 motor is not as bad as some have made it out to be. This isn't based on any personal experience, but what my shop has said, as well as Loam Wolf. Supposedly the rattle is pretty minimal on this bike. Also, I spoke with the Fezzari folks and their customer service was...
Thanks for the feedback. I’m in Glendale. The bike weighs 50.5lbs without pedals for the Pro edition.
The Shimano motor is a bit concerning but I’m guessing they’re not as unreliable as the internet makes it out to be, and it’s likely one of the reasons why it’s cheaper than similarly spec’d...
Does anyone have experience with the newly released Timp Peak? If so, how are you liking it? It's getting good reviews and the price is very competitive.
It's at the top of my list to replace my Trance emtb but I haven't pulled the trigger yet as I'm still deciding between that and a couple of...
So Transition's website says that the PNW XO version of the bike weighs 45.5lbs (20.64kg). What do you all think the PNW GX version will weigh? The only difference I see is that the higher-end one has a carbon frame with XO Transmission and the lower-end one is an alloy frame with cable GX...
Thanks all. I bought a regular Fox 34 air shaft and it looks a little different than the one that came with the e-optimized Fox 36 and the part numbers are different. Looking on Fox's website, I'm supposed to get part 820-02-579-KIT. But I can't find anyone selling it in the US for some reason...
Thanks for your response. So I guess you don't have any fit issues with the longer stroke shock? Does that mean that the travel on your Trance was ~147mm?
Is there a place you've posted the DVO shock or should I PM you for more info?
I have a 2021 performance elite 36E with 150mm of travel, which means that I have to get a 34mm air shaft.
Yes, it slackens the bike by 2d. It’s a works components headset. I like it a lot actually.
Has anyone swapped the 150mm piston on the Trance with a 160mm one? If so, how did it go and how do you like it?
I’m contemplating doing this on my 2021 Trance. I’ve already slackened it out with a -2d headset and raised the bars, but wanted to put myself further back on the bike. Thoughts?
I got a longer dropper post (210mm from OneUp), some high rise bars, a -2d Angleset from works components, and some ODI grips. I also put DD tires in the rear. Most of these upgrades are because I’m riding pretty steep and rocky trails and I feel that the bike is a bit front heavy. Depending on...
