    Official Merida eOne-Sixty thread

    That's the sort of diagram I'm after, but mine's a 2018 model. They must have changed slightly over the years as the diagrams for the 2021 models don't appear to have the spacers that I'm referring to. My spacers are in between the two #11 bearings on these diagrams, sitting between the bearing...

    Official Merida eOne-Sixty thread

    I've not managed to find a manual or parts diagram for this bike yet - does anyone have one? Specifically, I'm trying to confirm which way round the tapered spacers go between the suspension rocker arm and the frame. Does the taper point outwards or inwards? Unfortunately I didn't realise they...

    Levo Gen 2 Are you running a FOX X2 on a Levo? then read this

    I had a Specialized Enduro (2015) which came with a Cane Creek DBInline shock. Over the years I had lots of issues with it (I won't go into the full saga), and as TF Tuned have stated, it's due to the way the Specialized suspension design puts forces through the shock - there's an element of...

    Stumpjumper V Enduro V Status - Which one will win - The video is comin people ?

    Not overly familiar with the Status, but neither the Enduro or the Stumpy look like current models. How old are they, and without wishing to be disrespectful to your upcoming video, what are you hoping to achieve by comparing previous versions of two models with (I'm assuming) a new version of...

    BHF - London to Brighton

    I don't ride a Specialized myself, but I thought their 'Mission Control' app had a feature where you could plug in the end point of your ride and it would regulate the assistance given to ensure that you got there on the charge available. Obviously there must be a limit to how far you can go -...

    Unanswered Suspension tuning - suss my bike

    Yes, of course I can do that - and of course I can feel the difference. What seems to be being totally missed here is the fact that I'm not saying I can't feel the difference between settings riding up and down the road, but that's not where I go mountain biking (and hopefully nor do you) So I...

    Unanswered Suspension tuning - suss my bike

    Ah that sticky, where the second post is someone offering Shockwiz to help with setup :) As I've already said, I struggle to feel this stuff - you can tell me all day to add (for example) a little LSC if the bike is doing "something", but if I'm not sure whether it's doing the "something" or...

    You needed to do what with the PSI?

    Unanswered Suspension tuning - suss my bike

    About 85kg / 187lb Like I said, I'm not great at 'feeling' what's going on - but I can't say I noticed any really bad feedback.

    I started with 10psi less than I have now. Although thinking about it, If I'm trying to slow down the rebound damping, should I have gone the other way and removed pressure from the fork, not added it?

    I'm actually talking about the fork, not the shock. But as the principles should be the same, what would you try next to make the rebound slower?

    Unanswered Suspension tuning - suss my bike

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that's not going to be the issue here - the app is reporting that I'm using 95% + of travel. The trails I'm riding are petty steep with hucks, a few jumps, a few fast sections, so really giving the suspension a full workout. I'm also making sure that the app...

    Unanswered Suspension tuning - suss my bike

    I recently purchased a suss my bike (SMB) device to try and tune my suspension. Whilst I've got a reasonable understanding of what high /low rebound and compression do, I'm not so good at feeling it - so I've always tended to just use the manufacturer's baseline settings and leave it at that...

    Opinions on Fox 34 Performance forks

    My experience with the 'Performance' level of Fox fork is from a few years back (I think it was the 2013 Fox 34). The fork always felt horrible and harsh, so I decided to spend some money and get it upgraded. However, talking to a few suspension shops, they all said that there was nothing they...

    E160 - 2.8s too flimsy?

    No idea if it's classed as one or not. But I've just done a rough measure of a 2.6 Maxxis DHF on the E160, a 2.8 Maxxis DHF on the E160 and a 2.6 Butcher Grid on the Enduro. All 3 are close (around 720mm) but if anything the Butcher is the tallest - possibly because it's mounted on a 30mm rim...

    E160 - 2.8s too flimsy?

    Where did you get those figures from? I'll have a measure when I'm at home, but I'd be surprised if the difference between the two really was an inch.

    E160 - 2.8s too flimsy?

    Good to hear that I'm not the only one thinking this! I tried some 2.6s the other day - borrowed a mates wheels who's running a Maxxis Minion DHF up front and a Dissector on the rear, set to 20psi front, 24 rear. Can't say that I noticed the 'transformation' in handling that other's have...

    What was terrible about it? And how did an insert change it?

    E160 - 2.8s too flimsy?

    What sort of pressures are you running in the new setup compared with the 2.8s?

    E160 - 2.8s too flimsy?

    I'm running 18/20psi in the standard Maxxis Minion 2.8 tyres (tubeless). I'm about 85KG kitted up. Over the last few months I've had several punctures, and have ended up with a few tyres that now can't run tubeless because the sidewall is split right on the bead line. I thought the idea of...
