I have no complaints with mine, aside from brakes. Code R’s are garbage, immediately swapped them for slx, been performing great. Mine had a Fox transfer on it but it was 150 so I swapped it for a oneup 180 dropper. I have no problem with functionality just wanted a longer dropper. Personally I...
For what it’s worth people who are still curious about sizing, a buddy just picked up a medium and I was able to hop on it, def feels med, I would 100% go large. I’m 5’10 pretty much always ride large, currently on a large sc bullit.
Just went back to a full fat, the problem with the majority of lightweights is they’re primarily geared as a trail bike. Companies need to put out more enduro/aggressive lightweight bikes, the transition relay looks about right! But who knows when that will actually hit the market ..
+1 for lyrik, I have one on my rise, no issues runs great. I’d probably go 2-4 more psi than a regular bike, it’s pretty easy to dial in quickly. Mines at 160 and I believe 1 token
The code r is particularly annoying, every few rides I would have to reset the pistons to get a decent lever feel back. Sram uses 2 different pressures one in the hose/caliper and a second in the master cylinder, eventually they equilibrate and need to be reset. That gives the weak bite. Shimano...
+1 for shimano by far my brake of choice, I tend to prefer xt but I find minimal if any difference between slx and deore. Definitely a good bleed mitigates the wandering bite point, and I’ve never had the brake not grab, it may just grab a little closer to the bar.
I’ve had/used sram guide...
Really curious to hear more of your thoughts on the sizing, it sounds like you normally ride a large? I do too and the sizing has me thinking a medium would be better, anymore feedback would be appreciated!
Was really looking forward to this review Rob! I have the rise and just haven’t got along with it, it’s a great bike I just don’t get in with the suspension platform. Been really wanting a lightweight that is a solid all mtn/enduro
I get the impression most people here stick to pretty much E-bikes exclusively. Maybe that’s just down to a lot of people in Europe where ebikes aren’t such a taboo. In America it’s a bit different, you see them a lot but still get leering looks and snarky comments all the time!
Personally I...
Wrapped mine a week or so ago, I removed that piece. Like kamill said it’s basically the same thing you’re putting back on. If you want extra protection there put something like ams frame guards overtop the ridewrap.
I’ve got a m20 and find the range pretty much the same that I got on a full fat heckler. I ride exclusively in profile 2 eco set to ~35-40ish nm assist 4, trail and boost at 60nm with assist at 5 and 10. I’m about 160-165 kitted
Just did a pretty big ride the other day, 20miles, 4700ft of...
I have a large m20, stock was 42lbs with tubes and pedals. I have it setup with a coil and exo Assegai up front, moved the dissector to the rear, nobl wheels, lyrik up front, it’s just under 42lb with pedals.
A buddy just got a medium h15, stock with pedals was 47lbs, he upgraded to xt brakes...
Here’s a great comparison from enduro mag that compares stack heights of some popular droppers, helped me figure out how to maximize the drop I could get!
It is a bit taller than I like, especially coming off a heckler which felt lower. However I found running a oneup v2 dropper was about as ideal as I could get, the stack height is 2.5cm lower than the stock orbea dropper, I can get away with running a 180mm dropper just about slammed, but the...
I wasn’t sure whether to add weight for the ebike or not, I saw some one else say they didn’t, given the bike weighs only 4-5kg more than a regular bike. I weigh about 155 and put weight all the way to 175 and still got about 430 on spring weight. Currently I’m using 415 weight with a spindex...
I used the tf tuned calculator and was somewhere between 390ish to 428ish depending on sag and playing a bit with weight, basically if I’m trying to compensate for a little extra weight of the bike or not
im about 155, I’d say 160 maybe a little over geared up and have been running around a 400lb spring, using a sprindex spring the range I have to play with is 380-430.
