Nice build. How does the front end feel with the factory 36? Did you consider going to a 160 mm or do you think sticking with 150 mm is a better option? What offset is it? I'm thinking of doing a fox 36 160mm fork and a 210 x 55 rear shock also. I find the SL with the 150mm fork almost...

Did you go thru Fremont Older then up Montebello to the Gap and then down the new trail to sanborn park? How did you get from sanborn to the creek trail in Los Gatos?

Only 35 lbs...that's fantastic. Can't wait to see the details.

Thank you so much for the photo and fit check of the range extender and shock. Please elaborate on the performance of the DPX2 when you get a chance as this seems like an excellent upgrade.

Nice job! What position is your flip chip in on the lower mount of your rear shock? Do you feel or notice any compromises in steering or handling from the 160 mm fork compared to the 150 mm?

80,000 people killed worldwide in the first two months of 2020 from the influenza flu virus. This COVID 19 scare is mostly media hype. The vast majority of people affected most seriously have medical problems to begin with like COPD heart disease, diabetes. I'm not saying that it is not to be...

Please let us know about the handling with the 160 travel fork. Is the offset on your new lyric the same as the fox 34?

I have turned the power off and rode it silently by some park rangers at a local park (Fremont Older) that has a "No Motorized Vehicles" sign. They didn't even notice it was an ebike.

Please take a photo from the side when you fit the new rear shock as there are a ton of folks wanting to know if you can fit a DPX2 or similar on the SL and still fit the range extender.

31.8 mm enve bar and 31.8 mm stem I bought three years ago...not sure the exact model. looks like the M6 stem in 40mm. I think the bar is close to 25mm rise like the M6 bar they offer now.

XT's offer much better performance, modulation, much better stopping power with less finger force and les arm pump. It is night and day between the SRAM brakes on the carbon comp and the new Shimano XT 8120 4 pistons I installed. The actual work of swapping the brakes over is not "massive" if...

I put a 0 degree rise enve stem and bar from my acoustic bike on the SL and removed the spacers to get the bar lower so it climbs great.

Swapping the front and rear brakes from SRAM to Shimano XT was a massive upgrade. You would need to get the following: - two new shimano olive and barb insert kits. - Shimano brakes of your choice. - Shimano mineral Oil and Bleed kit. - New 6 bolt rotors of your choice (203mm front and 180mm...

I just replaced the stock sram brakes on my SL with the Shimano 4 piston XT 8120's brakes front and rear. I also replaced the SRAM rotors with the Shimano 203 mm and 180 mm 6 bolt ice tech rotors. I did not weigh them first unfortunately. They are much better with stopping power and...

Thanks. I think the enhanced performance and torsional rigidity provided by the 36mm stanchions on the 36 would add a little more stability as I do find the SL to be rather twitchy (downhill) already in stock form.

Rob...wouldn't a longer travel fork on the SL like the 160mm Fox factory result in a LESS twitchy handling/steering response for the SL than the shorter travel 150mm fork? You increase the wheelbase as the hypotenuse of the triangle gets longer.

Hi nappa what size is this?

Only way to know for sure is to test ride one. I think it meets your requirements but it may be slower up hill but if you take a lift then no big deal.

It will be better than the s works once I put on a factory 36 and new rear shock or something else coming out in about a month....;)

I got the carbon comp and doing upgrades to AXS rear derailleur and seatpost. Upgrading the cockpit to carbon bars and stem, XTR brakes, maybe even a lightweight cassette, as that would drop half a pound or more.
