    YT Decoy thread part 2

    That gap is as designed. The part fastened to the battery acts as a mudguard and by putting a positive gap there it stops dirt collecting and in fact makes a more positive visual join compared to trying to get a really tight gap. It also ensures that the battery is a good fit in the connector...

    2.8 change to 2.6 Rear Tyre

    Not enough space.

    2.8 change to 2.6 Rear Tyre

    2.6 is fine. If you set the chip to high with a 2.6 it is the same as low with a 2.8 as far as geometry is concerned.

    I seem to have got past the bad pedal strike phase (still hit sometimes) but am getting a lot of chainring hits now.

    Anybody know why they dropped 160mm travel forks on the spectral on?

    I don't think anyone outside Canyon will know. It is not very significant however as the Fox 36 can have its travel changed up to 170mm very simply.

    That didn’t take long

    Motor still under warranty so no real issue. All the motor manufacturers seem to have issues but Shimano less than some of the others like Brose. 10 mins to put a new motor in.

    2.8 change to 2.6 Rear Tyre

    All sorts of terrain. Downhill tracks Rocky and Rooty Trail center stuff. Steep natural trails. Just think full Enduro ;)

    2.8 change to 2.6 Rear Tyre

    I have the Gum-X. Can you get Magic-X for rear, I have one on the front of my Jefsy. I switched the bike into the high chip setting but it is not a big difference anyway.

    2.8 change to 2.6 Rear Tyre

    I got it at tredz online £40. It is working fine . I live at Inners so ride here all the time and no punctures (yet).

    First ride...shock setup questions

    Sorry for trying to help. Good luck with your wieght =psi method Im sure 60% sag is perfect.

    First ride...shock setup questions

    I did not mean during the actual process of adding the tokens (which you do know ;)).

    One last comment. Why do you remove pressure when adding tokens to maintain sag ?

    First ride...shock setup questions

    Fine if that is what you think, don't bother trying it. You have 2 alternatives then: 1. More pressure. Max of 300 is a safe limit so being at or very close should not cause a problem. If FOX put out a shock that blew at 301 they would soon get in a lot of legal bother. 2. Lose some weight :D

    First ride...shock setup questions

    The tokens change the spring rate through the whole stroke (apart from at the no load point) as they change the ramp up in spring rate, not just at the end part. For the same static pressure you will get more spring load at the sag point with more tokens. It is all about percentage change in...

    I would add some tokens to the rear shock to reduce that sag as you are already at a high pressure. You want approx 25-30 % so half of your current numbers.

    Yep, Direct mount does not fit SRAM. My Decoy and My wifes Canyon are both Direct Mount XT. Glad someone spotted this. NB: I edited this post after I looked at my Decoy.

    I have dropped to a 2.6 and it is much better without to much lowering of the BB. I ran the 2.8 in low and the 2.6 in high. ~It is the 29/27 combination that gives the Decoy its character NOT the fat rear tire ;)

    YES. Lyrik is a much better fork. The Lyrik on my Enduro Race bike is better than the Fox 36 Performance Elite on the Decoy.
