I'm 240ish and i have a 700 and 750 but I've swapped the 750 for a 650. The 700 was only giving me 25% sag. Been using telemetry to do testing and I'm swapping to the 650. All though I'm not using the long shock kit just the added progression linkage
I ran mine other day in full 29 but there was to much mud. You can hear it buzzing the rubber guard, i would only do it in the dry but i generally liked it.
I had a trek rail for a over a year and the reason the battery disconnects is due to the plastic wearing away on the bottom of the RIB battery casing due to crap getting in there and rubbing itself. I had to put mastic tape in there to keep it connected. Fyi i weigh 105kg and did a EWSE on it...
Just to be clear you don't have 31 mirco adjusts per gear it's across the spread. I've had axs for 2 years and it can be hit and miss sometimes it works flawless others like at the minute it skips one gear everytime and it's on a brand new chain cassette and UDH.
I understand what your saying but a full bike or a chain guide, invisframe and some huck norris inserts come on.....
99% of folk won't ever race their bike so they won't need the race mode which i imagine sometime this year might be a aftermarket tune that can be applied to CX motors.
