Yep it is and comes with the stop. Note you will need to run the flip chip in the longer position.

I dont mind spending money on quality items but I hate spending money two or three times to figure things out. My bike came with Deore HG 11 sp groupset. Before even riding it I put my hybrid Sram NX/X01 12 spd groupset on. Kind of to the point of one of the earlier comments I dont see a need...

Been running a DHX2 with a Sprindex coil on my 22 Alloy and just gobbles up fast chunky stuff. Currently running a Z1 Coil fork and its better than the domain which the bike came with but I think ultimately I will run a 38 with a vorsprung kit or go all Ohlins coil front and rear.

Wobble from deformation of the bead during install. I never bothered to look it up for myself but the urban legend around here from several LSB's is I have been told no less than 3 times that Maxxis flat out says not to use levers on their tires. The only experience I have had installing...

I guess dish soap works too but I also suggest using some sort of bead lube when working with really difficult insert/tire combinations. FWIW I have used CushCore, ProCore and Tanus inserts. CushCore obviously provides the most protection but also the heaviest and the most difficult to...

Seeing you are in Portland I must disregard your observation of the number of shredders on Aluminum bikes. After living in the PNW for 30 years Portland's DNA is to be retro for the sake of being retro. If one more hipster tries to convince me that scratchy LP's sound better than digitally...

Ideally for my situation I'd like to see a full power bike with a removable battery and motor. Something along the lines of the Forza that Trek uses in their cross country ebikes but in a more enduro/light DH package such as a Kenevo. Reason? Id like one bike that I can use to self shuttle in...

This must be one of those topics that gets tossed out every so often when folks just want to churn up debate lol. The OP's original statement painted carbon and being ill suited for use in MTB frames. I think that has been solidly debunked as a general statement. Materials Application...

Well I didnt think they were available yet but it appears they are starting to hit the colonies.

Not very happy with current drivetrain options for eMTB. I tend to favor SRAM Eagle however the chainline at the upper and lower extremes on my Altitude PP just look wrong. FWIW I was running a 12spd GX with an X01 shifter. I reinstalled the 11spd Deore the bike came with last night and...

How many wraps of tape are you doing? I dont find much difference in tape and usually just buy whatever brand is available in the width I need. After my first foray into installing inserts and damaging the tape as you did I decided tape is cheap enough in the grand scheme of things to simply go...

I currently own 3 bikes, a Kona Shonky Chromo DJ bike, A carbon RM Slayer and an Alloy RM Altitude PP. You are in Scotland...think of it like golf clubs, different materials for different uses. I prefer Chromoly for hardtails as they do feel a bit less harsh (more supple is often used to...

Yes but after he won did specialize replace it under warranty or did he have to buy a new one :unsure:

Rocky Mountain 5 year on frames regardless of material. Intense 5 year on carbon they no longer offer Aluminum but 3 year on the carbon DH frames. Specialized and Giant are lifetime on either material. Kona lifetime for non carbon and 3 year on carbon. Santa Cruz is lifetime on all frames. The...

Thanks for doing that I thought about it after the fact. There's very little info out there on this outside of this forum so I think you will save people a lot of frustration. Now what are the details on that tool roll with the T-hex wrenches...I need that set!

Way to many factors to account for to simply say one material is better than another. "Carbon Fiber" is used as a very generic term much like saying "Metal". When we discuss bike frames we typically assume aluminum 90% of the time and the other 10% we may introduce Ti or ChroMo into the...

Big fan of Hope but they are not as common in the US so I havent tried those yet. Personally I am a big fan of the "Shigura" system and run them on my eMTB and Park/DH bike. 220 rotors will spoil you.

I should be GTG then as I use position 3. Much appreciated!

OK that got my brain spinning a bit. So the RM has two flip chips, the 4 position ride 4 which makes the bike more or less slack on the bottom positions and the top positions which makes the suspension more or less progressive. The other is on the rear axle and changes the wheelbase (chain stay...

Yeah its only 2.5mm at the shock going from 230x62.5 to 230x65 so it really doesn't seem like much. Ideally since my acoustic Slayer is 170/170 it would be nice if my Altitude were the same vs being 170/160.
