YT’s Enduro bike’s like the Capra tend to start very high like 3.4 or 3.5:1. I would assume the Decoy could be similar.
Anyways I’m running a DVO coil right now and it looks like you don’t want to go past 170mm out back on a size L frame with the dropper all the way slammed as the tire will...
he’s not changing the 230mm eye to eye, he wants to long stroke it to 70mm instead of of 65 to give it a bit more travel. Not sure where 178mm came from or what the leverage curve of the bike is to make this assumption
I have a DVO 230x65 but the stroke is actually 70mm. The bumper is 15mm thick and will not compress to zero so it’s impossible to use all 70mm of stroke
Or you simply ran one fork with slightly more pressure than the other. Or you pumped them the same but one day was warmer than the other. These factors affects the forks dynamic ride height which in turn affect the almighty “trail” figure that is affecting the turn in you are describing. So a...
I found when I tried to seal the battery with clear tape all around, there was water condensation You can see inside the tape and that screwed up the electronics inside. I removed the clear tape and left the battery outside overnight to dry it out completely and now it works
Crash and a sharp rock cut through the protective tape and scratched the frame pretty deep. The matte black paint scratches and scuffs very easily!!
I know its a mountain bike and it will get beat up no matter what.
I was just wondering if I should i use some touch up paint here or use some...
I am running a 180mm Vorsprung coiled Fork on my Acoustic bike and running a 180mm air Fork on my Decoy. On a freshly serviced fork, they are pretty close performance wise. However after just 2 weeks on the air fork I can feel the performance begins to suffer a bit as stiction gets worse and...
I haven't confirmed it works but one of the members here states that it would.
Vorsprung has understood the benefit of a large negative air chamber for years and now Fox and Rockshox are finally playing catchup. Rockshox’s Debonair air springs have a much larger negative air chamber than...
I am running a Yari that i’ve converted to a 180mm Lyrik Ultimate and have removed all the 4 tokens that came with it. The Air springs negative chamber is so large that the fork sags 7-8mm under its own weight and you can only get full extension of the fork when you lift the front wheel off the...
You’re right. Nobody really has complained too much about the fork. I agree Dave88 should take the fork apart and reassemble. Cushcore and 15psi on the front should make it even more supple!!
Fox 36 has larger neg and pos air chambers. More volume is generally a plusher ride although not as progressive. If you think a fox 34 doesn't affect harshness, why not use Fox 32 air shafts and make the fork with even thicker side walls?
Also with more volume and more travel, generally your...
What is your weight and what spring rate did you end up with?
My weight is 160lbs geared up and was originally on a 400lb spring (31% sag). The bike felt good but drops and jumps felt harsh as it blew through the travel and bottomed out pretty easily. I am now on a 450lb spring (27% sag) and...
The Rail’s suspension design (and Trek’s other Full Suspension Mtn bikes) is extremely Active with low anti squat figures. On their acoustic bikes, you need to use a climb switch or Trek’s Re-Active shocks to give you a better pedalling platform.
On an Emtb application, the suspension is...
What is your HSC set at? Can you feel it bottom out at all? How Do the drops feel on the ebike vs regular bike? My ebike feels harsher for sure like as if my legs need to work harder to resist the impact.
