my shop advised me to avoid the app altogether and just ride the bike. use the up and down to adjust the desired power output. i've taken that advice and it's been great and i'm not worried about any of the electronic details and settings. i love the power it has and the delivery and i've got...
whatever one they gave me (same thing, threw in a shop bottle and cage) has slots to position it up or down. tight fit, but easy enough to get the bottle in and out and avoid contact with the shock.
wow, lots of LSR and full on LSC! doesn't make the rear end feel too firm or harsh? i guess this twin tube technology is supposed to isolate the circuits so you can get the exact response from the sus that you want at both high and low speed.
hey Kyzo. what are you running for pressure in the rear shock? how about low speed compression, do you use much? the bike is so low i'd like to make sure i have enough support to keep the BB from hitting and i don't have it quite dialed yet.
i do like the idea of monitoring the battery. is there anything else you use it for? do you alter the power settings or are the 5 standard settings adequate for how you ride? what else does the app do?
i'll be reading this thread with some interest. the bike shop i purchased from advised me to skip the app altogether. he said it causes all kinds of problems and the best thing is simply to use the button up or down the 5 power settings.
between the new car i've got and this bike, i've added...
194 or 6 5 with 37 inch inseam. also, many of the newer bikes have extremely short seat tubes. this one is 475mm for a size XL, so it's a lot of seatpost sticking out. the Marin eeb i had originally ordered was 460, the shortest i've ever heard of. i'm not sure of the rationale to go so short...
it can slide in lower than this but probably not balls deep. stand over is great, look how low the top tube is. but with my inseam, that's never been an issue with any bike.
well alright, alright, alright.
so first ride today, could hardly sleep last night, like a high school boy who knows he's getting lucky after the big dance on the weekend....
conditions, pure coastal, 6° wet, slick as snails, endless roots and downed trees, pure xc grinder, shit trails that...
question: the shock rocker link is off center, asymmetric as it were. is this a design feature for the shock, or do i have a huge misalignment? i have no trail time as of yet so it's not like i can detect anything. looking down you can see it here:
one up 210 dropper, spesh power arc saddle, nukeproof 50mm stem, spank vibrocore bars 780mm, 50mm rise, diety supracush grips, wolftooth spacer kit w wraparound topcap. maxxxxis shorty in maxxxx grippp, double down front tire.
it's never ever going to look like this again living in the...
picked up my XL yesterday. spent much of today replacing cockpit and setting the bike up, fiddling with suspension, etc. first eeb, couldn't be
more excited.
picked mine up yesterday. working on set up and the usual cockpit changes. pictures to follow. took out the brake pads, expecting them to be resin, but they were finned metal pads. i'm very impressed with the spec of this bike.
