Kind of disappointing. Looks like the same bike. 27.5 160 bikes arent the current market. At the very least they should be mullet bikes. Wonder if they tweaked the geo? Probably not but i guess everything is gping to sell these anyway . Sell the leftover frames you have in stock with new paint...
Before the new offset forks became a thing 65.5 was my happy place but i could cope with a 65 despite starting to feel i had dipped over the threshold for happy all around handling. I think that spot is 64-64.5 now or a touch less because im totally fine with my 63.7.
Another cost effective...
Thanks, thats too bad. The reason i wanted the enduro is because i thought itd be as solidly built as the regular 4.0 and just have a removeable chin bar. That liner is a deal breaker. I want a liner like the regular 4.0 and removeable. 2 liners would be preferable. I have 2 liners and 2 sets of...
My meta am enduro bike with the 44offset has a 63.7 stock head angle and theres no problem with wheel flop, even on steep climbs. The extra reach and steep seat angle play a part but its still fine when im standing and clombing.
Maybe a -1 degree headset and 64 degree head angle?
Later if...
Right on! Havent ridden with him in a few years. He must be 80 or close to it now. One inspiring indivudual
edit: just saw a fb "memories" notification and it was 10 yrs ago today we last rode. A group of 5 of us rode Sale mt/martha creek . Vic and Christine were both flying
I tried to get some. No stock at the canadian distributor. I havent found any online dhops with them either. Commencal canada had a few options but nothing that i was looking for. The vee rubber site lists a bunch of options for the flow snaps. A variety of casings and compounds and 2.35 or 2.6...
Im not sure how wide the verdicts measure. I have bb 2.6 f and 2.4 rear. The 2.4 is wider than a michelin or maxxis 2.4. Nice tires. Bike park killed the soft compound pretty quick. Soft front still looks new
Good point. The shorter top tube on the decoy also gets the body over the front to control that too.
N3ed the steep seat angle to winch that heavy steam powered bike up the mt. I like a more reasonable 75 or 76 degree seat angle on the emtb. More active on the bike looking for fun lines on the...
Just a question. In the past ive liked somewhere between 65 and 65.5. With the new fork offset offerings it seems like im not having the wheel flop i had , on a trail bike, when the head angle was less than 65. I guess tge steeper seat angles help control wheel flop on slacker head angles. My...
Youll know more on that. Like you mentioned, i just saw it on Mike's build. I sent a pm to you. First pm i forgot about the coil fork thing so the 2nd pm is a repeat with the coil fork thing added. Im not super up to date on current coil fork mods. Curious though
Great! I was wondering the casing. Are they dh casing, double down or exo+? I guess you dont have inserts/tire liners in them , by your response.
That info will give a better idea of the weight. For instance, if the maxxis dhf/dhr are exo casing and no inserts in the tires and someone likes...
