Yes I tried quite a few springs, the one I wanted to use was the Cane creek progressive coils 450-550 but it rubbed the coating on the spring on the underside of the frame. Not massively I could have rubbed all the coating off and it would have been ok but I wanted the white spring to match the...

For reference purposes, the 160mm fox 36 exceeds the specified max a2c height of the rise.

I would just like to make sure that everyone is aware that different forks have different A2C heights, so just saying “160mm is ok” doesn’t include the A2C , make sure to check before deciding on what size fork travel.

Have you tried changing your bars/stem? As I’m 5’6” on a med and have zero issues with my butt (apart from the farts according to the wife)

No, personally I don’t like the Fox36 or 38, I have found that the Rockshox air spring/damper to be much more consistent, probably why fox find the need to put a bleed port/equalisation channel in the newer forks.

I was considering a lot of the info when deciding what fork to put on my m20, one of the reasons I stuck with the 150mm Zeb was the extra 10mm a2c vs the 36.

1- 210x55 2- nope, but it’s not very heavy. 3- no offset bushing as std stroke shock 4- nope as above its full 29er 5- I don’t have any issue with bottoming out etc, I ride everything on it from massive XC loops over Dartmoor (80-90km) to flat out runs at the local DH tracks and the odd bikepark...

I’m running it upside down to keep the weakest point closes to the frame, had zero issues so far and I’m 6 months in, I did try a dhx Rc4 that I shortened to fit but couldn’t quite get it setup, think I needed lighter weight oil as it felt overly damped.

Whatever you calculate, go up to the next spring rate. I have tried 3 different coil shocks on the rise and I had to go up 50llb on the spring in every case. FWIW 78kg and using a fox sls 500 on a dbinline coil.

I’m 170 and I have tried a few springs before settling on a 500llb fox sls, but spring rates are quite personal, I like the Rise to ride quite firm as it’s still a trail bike. So I would start with a 450 if I were you.

4600km since April 2021, std ep8rs and I do have an occasional glitch where the motor switches off for half a second, E01022 is the error code, but it only happens in the first 5 mins of any ride and then it’s fine???

Fully rigid hardtail 😂

You’ll never get the plushness of the lyrik, the fox is a lot firmer in its characteristics, one reason I’m swapping my 36s on my 5010 back to Rockshox.

Yeah I have a 230x60 for a Rallon 11/6 and when I saw that they now supported the Rise I enquired about getting it reconfigured but they won’t do it with the v1 11/6 :(

Is that a 11/6 specifically for the rise?

I’ve tried quite a few springs and the fox metric sls ones are the only ones that clear my Med frame.

It’s not about the travel, the Zeb has a greater axle to crown distance than the 36s, therefore you can’t just state that 160 travel shouldn’t be an issue.

The rise and I have been some pretty spectacular places, living next to Dartmoor is pretty special and allows me to ride some amazing stuff, however my local bike park is 10mins away riding and I hit it up at every opportunity and still can’t believe how fast the rise is there, I’ve set all my...

Thanks Rod, I left it in penetrating oil for an hour and they then came out quite easily. I do have a bearing puller kit, but they don’t grab very well on the smaller bearings (sub 20mm (13/16th)) I may have to invest in something better.

I would just be careful running a zeb at 160, the a2c is already above the maximum specified for the rise even in the shortest 150mm travel option.
