    Fork upgrade, how to remove block lock fork race?

    so looked at it with fork off and tried a punch but thought better of it before I went to ham fisted!! I called yt and the said just use the bars to reset it. So once I re mounted the fork I just slammed ( not too hard) the bars until it was centered again.. really easy actually. So don’t...

    YT Decoy vs YT Decoy 29

    just a personal opinion... that’s why I said it doesn’t suck it’s just my opinion. I don’t like running different wheel sizes, for one practical reason I like to swap tires alot and don’t want to have to buy different sizes.. also better tire selection in 29er vs 27.5 2.8 and I just feel like...

    YT Decoy vs YT Decoy 29

    wow your brain has truly been taken over by The marketing dept. Lots of reasons more travel is not always better. Same goes for chainstay lengths! On an ebike especially. Also and most importantly it’s the rider not the bike, go watch skills with Phil video of him launching crab Apple hits...

    Fork upgrade, how to remove block lock fork race?

    I just noticed this today on my decoy.. turning bars left they hit the block sooner than turning right.. can the race move in a crash? wonder if it happened last crash I had.. wonder easiest way to recenter it? Any ideas?

    First ride 2020 decoy base 29

    Good point. This is definitely true! Had a couple good crashes before getting used to the weight coming into corners... also if it’s super steep tech once you lock your wheel you are moving, gotta go with the flow! Lol One thing that helped with this for me was cutting my bars down to 760mm I...

    First ride 2020 decoy base 29

    Have not felt like it matters at all! In fact feels super planted and suspension works amazing with extra weight. I would worry about it tbh. In fact I’ll be adding more weight with coils! It’s just not as big a deal as a pedal bike. Even then I was never a weight weenie.. lightest my bike ever...

    First ride 2020 decoy base 29

    Haven’t done anything yet but I’ve done debonair spring in another fork, it’s easy. I’m running this one for a while because it’s fresh and probably do seals at same time since I think the seals on yari are not as good as lyrik. Lyrik uses lower friction seal.. at least I’ve been told. This is...

    First ride 2020 decoy base 29

    I bought the base knowing I’d upgrade... I always buy base models, I’m cheap and I’d rather customize to my liking. Along the way you discover some cheap base level stuff is bomb proof and you really don’t need to upgrade. Usually if something breaks then I’ll replace it with next tier up etc...

    I didn’t like them.. I swapped to xt 8020 which are saint calipers and xt levers.. 100% better. Probably cheaper to sell codes and go xt

    First ride 2020 decoy base 29

    the yari is a lyrik with different internals.. easy to make it into a lyrik and you can go up to 180mm of travel. I’m going to bump mine to 160mm and add a coil conversion, looking at the one from vospring Smashpot - Fork Coil Conversion System I run mine in low, haven’t tried high yet. Going...

    yeah you will be good, I could have sized up as well. The one issue you may have is that you may have to run a lower dropper if you have short inseam. I’m 510.5 and run a 150mm all the way slammed on the large. I ran a 170mm on previous bike, couldn’t do that on decoy.
