Thanks for posting ... looks like the saddle sits about 10mm-15mm higher (in the dropped position) than the new Fox dropper, which may be ok. (y)

Clutch lever in proper position on derailleur ?? Good luck and let us know what you find (y)

Hey all Can anybody provide for me (measure as close as possible) the STACK HEIGHT for the YT Postman ? (or the base to the seat rail measurement when slammed down .. see the 33mm measurement below) I have a new YT on the way (likely Jan) and I want the flexibility to slam the seat as LOW as...

The problem with the 2.8 Maxxis is not really the tire width but the flimsy sidewall support (feels like riding on a squirmy balloon). Not too mention how easy it is to tear a sidewall .. insert or not. If you install a Michelin 2.8 e-bike model, that squirming feeling is negated. I agree...

YT Canada ?? is no longer ... all service is apparently going to be directed to their California facility.?? Sounds like this may be a good thing given the high praise YT USA receives (y)

Does anybody know the specs or where to source replacement bearings for the Acros AZX-260 headset ? Even the Acros webpage does not offer replacement bearings for this model ?? Cheers

Actually just remembered this from another discussion :cool: I am not truly against the 51mm offset option, but my frustration stems ... in this instance from what I believe its an interim "band aid" to putting a 170mm fork on the front of the Decoy (up from a 160mm). The competition has...

Best to abandon idea .. I also ditched my plans of converting the 29 Capra based on the fact I could not alter the chain stay length in the end. A ahorter chainstay is what gives a 27.5 bike a more “flickable” feel Than a 29’er. Plus Every time you make a geometry change, it needs to be...

I am going through the same contemplation with the Capra 29 Shred (still waiting to receive it). You will have some considerations .... I believe the geometry of the front triangles are identical and the 2 major changes you need to consider would be the rear triangle and the effect of the...

Thanks for the feedback all (y) I think I will go #5 if I can get a freehub body for the e13 wheelset. Wonder why nobody recommended the e13 :unsure: ?? (said with sarcasm x1000) :LOL: The good news is that 11 speed drivetrain cassettes are quite cheap now since 12 speed is all the rage...

Hey all (updated to include option #5) Its almost that time of year where drivetrain replacements are set to take place (*its almost WINTER here in Canada). My bike is the 2019 Decoy with Di-shifting ... AND the ever so cranky/clunky E13 cassette. I am happy thus far with the rims and hub...

Google "ride wrap" and they make custom wraps for all models of bikes. https://www.ridewrap.ca/products/yt-frame-protection-kit-tailored/ There are others as well. Also you can buy 3M Paint Protection film in large rolls off Amazon (been wrapping bikes for 10 years using this stuff) .. you'll...

Did you check the resistance across the Shimano DI2 E-Tube wires that connect the display ? May have a faulty one? One other person had this problem and used 2 decoys to trace it. Swapped everything back and forth and it turned out to be a faulty cable. They are fairly cheap to buy .. but...

I have a concern if the Decoy is spec'd with 51mm offset forks (the recently launched Elite was ... for whatever unknown reason)?? Even Commencal finally got onboard for 2021 and got rid of the 51mm offset and went to a slacker headtube with a more modern geo (63.5) and industry accepted 44 mm...

My only complaint with the E8000 motor is the LAG time for the power applied to the cranks to "kick in". Try a slow rolling wheelie drop off a rock with last second crank spin to lift the front wheel and see (OK .. do NOT do this as bad things WILL happen :oops: ... I lost over 2 months of...

If you need to lower the front more .. remember a 1 degree angleset headset will lower it the same amount reducing travel10 mm. So if you can get your fox 40 to 180 mm and run a 1 degree angleset (64 HA) you will have the same front end height as stock. Looks incredible .. I may follow suit on...

None yet .. and I have washed my bike lots as well (with a pressure washer at that .. carefully aimed) FWIW I have the Di2 system and have them on both ends of the bars. Never heard of anybody having problems (knocking on wood) :)

The 2.8 tire spec'd on the Decoy out back is to allow for a larger wheel circumference (close to 29 tires) to maintain a higher BB in the low setting. My experiences using the Maxxis 2.8 EXO+ has been a love/hate relationship. Love :love:: A smooth "dampened" ride .. like riding a couch down...

Great news with the turnaround .. smaller companies are always excellent on service. I researched the wheels and see they do make an "e-specific" wheel that is slightly different than their other offerings .. so perhaps this is a a great fit

I am hoping that wheelset proves to be reliable .. hubs are proven .. rims ??? :unsure: Albeit the reviews thus far are VERY positive on CB's approach to carbon wheels. Lifetime warranty is nice but I would like to see a claim of "turnaround time" by all manufacturers (ie .. you will have a...
