    Fox 36 Float Factory FIT4 calibration?

    I use them as a base and adjust based on ride feel and how much travel I'm using. My personal experience is that Fox (38 for me) seem to work better with a touch less sag than Rockshox. For my riding at least. There are tons of good youtube videos on suspension set up. The Dialled ones from...

    Urge to buy a non ebike !!! Am I crazy anyone still regularly use a non ebike

    I ride my regular bike at the weekend with my friends (unless my legs are destroyed!) and the e-bike for quick blasts during the week. If I could only have one I'd keep the regular bike for sure. The eeb just lets me get more riding in.

    Hi there from Bath UK! (and any suggestions for small-sized E-MTBs?)

    A key thing for me is the relationship between seat post height and dropper insertion depth. The medium YT can take a 180mm post slammed to the collar, whereas a Kenevo SL which has better clearance on paper, has rubbish insertion depth. Also, YT have a place in Surrey (The YT Mill) where you...

    Hi there from Bath UK! (and any suggestions for small-sized E-MTBs?)

    it's a mullet. The Decoy is conservatively sized, so the medium is closer to a small on many other brands. They do a small as well if you wanted less reach.

    Rear wheel lock up... could not see reason why

    Must have been something that lodged in wheel or rotor but fell out during crash.

    Hi there from Bath UK! (and any suggestions for small-sized E-MTBs?)

    My other half is also 160cm. She is very comfortable (and fast!) on a Medium YT Decoy Shred. It's a great bike.

    Answered Sun Glasses Advice Please

    I use Sun Gods. They've been great. Never steam up and the lens has absolutely zero distortion.

    2 pot R 4 pot F

    Running hope brakes might leave you underpowered. ;) A better question might be, what is the advantage to 2 pot on the rear? Personally I wouldn't, but it's steep round here so I am on the brakes a lot!

    Full Fat or New Gen Lites

    For the kind of riding I do I think I'd stick with full power. My e bike is in addition to my normal bike and used for getting the maximum amount of riding done in the shortest time. Also, I want 160/170 travel and progressive geo. The only lightweight bike (that I know of) that offers that is...

    Motorcycle stand style for eMTB

    I just got one of these - LifeLine Pro Park it Wheel Stand | Chain Reaction Works perfectly with the Decoy.

    Newbie in Scotland

    Shimano bikes are absolutely everywhere. They can't be that bad surely!? So far my Decoy has behaved itself. Unfortunately, with supply the way it is, you might end up choosing on availability.

    Cushcore + New Tire Installation?

    No need to do anything different. Just put on the Cushcore, put on tyre, add sealant and job done. This is the best video I've ever watched for Cushcore installation. It's made it pretty straightforward. The other good thing about inserts is that the tyre will seat with a track pump no...

    Best brakes for E bike?

    I run RSCs with 220mm rotors on the ebike. They work brilliantly but need bled a bit more often than I would like. I have MT5 with 223mm rotors on my other bike which are fantastic. I am sure they would be just as good on the ebike.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    Not sure what point you're trying to make or why.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    I have no opinion on him as a human, but he's pretty handy on a bike! A 13th and a 24th so far this year, not too bad I'd say.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    TBF, Phil Atwill could probably ride the world cup tracks on a gravel bike. Not really comparable to us mortals.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    From his behaviour online and speaking to people who have met him directly, it would appear he's not a very cool person. I am choosing my words carefully.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    I've seen a few in real life (the Pole marketing guy lives in my town) and they do look better than the pictures tbf. I am sure if I had one I'd love it, despite my various reservations!
