    Decoy Hacks??!!

    cheap to buy .. 3M clear plastic and 100% watertight ^^ the 3M foam idea looks good too. Do both and you can ride in a monsoon with no issues Well around the battery anyway .. don't have any motor tricks (y)

    Help –Decoy partly starts but won't turn off?

    Maybe a suggestion for those who note water and dirt behind their batteries. I am not sure why more people don't do this .. especially the bike washing people (like me :)) Just buy some 3m clear plastic film and seal off the seam between the battery and the frame interface. I took my battery...

    with or without mudguards?

    I have one installed BUT its not for MUD .. even though its a mudguard :cool: Its not for looks either but rather to keep ROCKS from jamming in the pivot area (arch) behind the chainstay bridge. Giant Maestro suspension is quite similar where a rock can get trapped in that area and cause a lot...

    Stay In, Make Your Own Accessories!

    This was my work over the last week. Put a new Stans DART tool in the small space above the upper shock mount. Used 3M plastic and epoxied a spare handpump bracket into place. Then used a couple O-rings top and bottom to keep it from sliding. Figure Ill never forget it in the event of a flat (y)

    YT Decoy vs YT Decoy 29

    Ultimately it comes down to your riding style. I demo'd 2 ebikes at the same time for an entire day …. they were Commencal e-bikes and one was a 29'er and the other was a 27.5. In essence I was trying to decide what wheel size to go for an e-bike (never having ridden one) Prior to this I...

    Decoy 29 Charging

    Just the display should turn on ( the Shimano Steps logo). Once charged the light will turn green on the charger and the display will shut off. (y)

    Comp or Pro 29

    Ooops…. your right … was confusing the COMP with the base Agree 100% … your either a mullet man or not (y). Tires OFF the ground are generally mullet men ... tires ON the ground are generally 29'er guys. **A very general statement, but I find it to be fairly accurate. I am a mullet man as I...

    Comp or Pro 29

    I don't think you will notice the climbing ability of one over the other. It will be in how the bike handles. So to add to my points above ……. First consideration : A lighter wheelset will allow for every so slightly more precision in your steering and handling. Its actually quite...

    Comp or Pro 29

    I would go PRO .. reasoning (4 main reasons .. in order) 1. Much better suspension front and back (Fox 36 vs Yari) 2. Wheelset (DT Swiss 1700 vs 1900) .. 1700 is higher quality and lighter 3. Brakes (Code RSC vs R ... not huge but nice) 4. Tires - Maxxis 3C compound vs dual compound If...

    How do you fix Scratches/ Gouges on the paint?

    Yikes Maybe some CLEAR nail polish … once dry very very lightly sand .. use a sharpie to make black and then re-apply a piece of 3M clear plastic film over the top. Let us know what you end up doing and the results. Interested to hear other ideas as well (y)

    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    I would agree with this as Fox is notorious for assembly issues (I doubt the workers on the assembly lines in Taiwan are factory trained technicians). Almost every Fox fork I have owned comes back a completely different fork after servicing by a suspension expert. I also did a Push Coil...

    YT DECOY - The loam wolf shredder winner

    Wow this has sure turned into a Specialized bashing thread :eek: I have owned lots of Specialized bikes over the years and still own one (not a Levo .. it was not the right choice for where and how I ride). I love the design and the engineering Specialized puts into their bikes … top notch ...

    YT DECOY - The loam wolf shredder winner

    Except the Levo design is based on the Stumpjumper frame and for all intensive purposes is a TRAIL bike … not an enduro bike. The Decoy uses the Capra frame and geo. Two completely different bikes. The Specialized Kenevo is built off the Enduro bike platform, making it the best "apples to...

    YT DECOY - The loam wolf shredder winner

    My suspicion is it was 100% entirely due to Suspension setup. I am sure others can lend their own stories .. but lets admit that the QC at Fox during the assembly process is questionable at best (putting it mildly). How many stories of excessive grease being used at the factory in the negative...

    Decoy: 2019 CF Pro vs 2020 CF Comp

    Had the HSC circuit re-valved on the 36 fork. ** Ill try to find my invoice to provide specific details of what was done. Since its still winter where I am (2 more weeks I hope till riding) I am just going off riding down the street and bouncing around like a kid on a BMX -lol … but the front...

    Decoy: 2019 CF Pro vs 2020 CF Comp

    ^^ Thanks for the confirmation and validating the rumour of the Fox38 appearing next year. Great work (y). I'll keep an eye out for a Fox 38 as well since 2021 usually means June 2020 for aftermarket goods :p FWIW .. I did have my HSC circuit revalved over the winter … suspension tuner said...
