Looking forward to more time on this rig. @KSL I think when a pedal up gets steep and sustained, the plush initial stroke (that feels so good when descending or not climbing) I might think about using the switch. I climbed about 300 meters today without the climb switch and was fine, but it...

Good news! I have a RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate Coil installed on my KSL. Fluid Function in Squamish (between Vancouver & Whistler) put a smaller reservoir on for me. Not much smaller really. I got a quick lap today when I got back to town. (I have a MRP progressive spring on it too)...

I actually really like the sleeper look. The decals look cool but for me, I’m really happy with the somewhat blank canvas. ? I added a few small decals of some of our local component companies I have on the bike. Thanks for sharing though. Cheers

I want to specify that having a backup shock (why not coal coil, right? ? ) is huge, when doing road trips and bike park days. + I've been a good human all year.. Why not treat myself?

I'll field that question @jcmonty ;) I'm dropping off the bike Monday. "Should be a day or two". So let's say by next weekend, I'll hopefully have had a ride on it.

Sounds like it's a pretty small difference (~ 3mm) but should solve the super tight clearance issue. (They say). I'm taking the bike to them this time.. less stress for sure. :cool:

I just chatted with my local shop / service centre. Sending it back because they can put a shorter reservoir on it!! :cool: ... "so you're saying there's a chance?" :LOL:

I did measure the shock clearance and with callipers. It seemed it would fit, even though the RS reservoir is longer. It’s just a few mm (like 2-3mm) too long and only at a very specific part of the travel. The reservoir touches the frame but slid past - scuffing the RideWrap. Nope! The...

Totally, I was checking for clearance on the coil with the shock tunnel / linkage. Leaning my chest on the saddle. You’re right, I should have mounted without coil first. Like you, I’m also glad I didn’t cause frame or shock damage. ?

Sad news. A RockShox Super Deluxe Coil does not fit the KSL. The reservoir is just a few mm too long for the top of the shock tunnel during deep compression. Lucky I added RideWrap there. I also tried it the other way around but the LSC knob hits the linkage plate. Oh well. Now we know...

@KSL - For me, high setting is needed for the climbing around here. If I'm in the bike park or riding trails accessed off of fire roads.. low setting all day long. (y) Sick profile image btw ?

Got the RockShox SDU Coil in the mail yesterday. Going to install it soon and see what it's like. I also have my 27.5 rear wheel ready to go.. but I'm really not convinced it's a good idea. The bike is so good and I feel a mixed wheel setup would not make this bike feel any better. + I have yet...

@KSL - My inseam is more like 29 3/4” :ROFLMAO:Sounds like the dropper you bought will work out really well. The 180 would have been great (shimmed down) but the total insert length was too similar to the stock dropper. Enjoy!

I’m 5’9” (175cm) - The stock dropper just didn’t get out of the way enough for me on the steep / slow / technical descents. The OneUp 150 dropper now gets well out of the way, which I’m really happy with. Now the game is raising it up a tiny bit more to get the right full extension height while...

I won't receive the new coil shock for another week or two. (Custom tuned for bike and rider - not just set factory spec) (y) I also ordered a progressive MRP spring.. Looking forward to see how that feels from standard spring.

@jcmonty - I’m also happy with the “middle” + “high” geo setting. I made this change mainly for climbing clearance, which it has improved. “slack” + “high” - can’t wait to hear what you think of that change. Cheers

General reminder to check the tightness or torque on your swat headset (under fork crown/steer tube) I started noticing a slight creak but not any noticeable play in the headset. sure enough, the bolt that tensions the headset / swat system had backed out a bit. cheers ?

@dragonsback79 - This little beauty has been very handy, especially in tight e-mtb applications. IR-1.2 Internal Cable Routing Kit | Park Tool How is your extended pedaling height now with the OneUp?

I went with the same. 150mm I have a 180mm OneUp as well but found insertion length ended up not much different from the XFusion 150mm on the S3 the OneUp 150mm is so close to perfection for me. I can get the saddle out of the way when slammed, can still pedal from that lowest height and when...
