mmmmn, I set the b screw with the bike on the stand up off the ground. Now I'm curious to see how sag effects it. It's working a treat for now.

No tokens installed. It came with 2 stock and I took them out while tweaking. That also made a big difference on getting close to using full travel.

If I had 80psi in mine it would feel like a shock filled with rocks instead of rockshox. I've found bliss finally. 57psi with slow speed compression 11 clicks out from closed and rebound 2 clicks out from closed. I can sail over medium roots/rocks and barely feel it through the fork. I'm finally...

I adjusted the b-screw so that the jockey is 3 to 4mm closer to the cassette than spec and it's made a world of difference vs chain slip. I can still get into 1st no problem without rubbing. 12th is much improved with little to no slip so far. It seems just getting a little more chain wrapped...

So the 10t sprocket is out of stock everywhere : ( Also the Rail is a 34T front chainring max. I don't want to switch out an entire cassette after ~400 miles. This sucks.

This isn't a case of being in the wrong gear. This is pedaling at 20mph with normal cadence and a slight headwind causes slipping. The XT setup shifts like a dream vs the X01. The slipping after 30 miles is the only gripe. For the record it looks like you can just replace the 10T and 12T...

Yeah top gear as in the smallest one. I read b screw adjustment is a classic tell tale since if that's off you don't get max wrap surface area contact on 12th gear. However, this really does just sound like wear. The cassette has 300 miles and the chain maybe 200 or less. I don't use turbo that...

So bike has about 300 miles on it and I'm starting to experience significant chain slip in top gear. It's only happening in turbo mode. It's not changing gear, it's slipping teeth in top gear only under heavy torque. I just double checked the b screw and its perfect. The alignment of the...

I'm working my way back down into 57 ish psi to get it smooth. It does feel like a small change in pressure has a big effect. I can't imaging running this thing at the recommended 80psi. Looking at the ultimate RC2 damper as an upgrade option...it looks like you get 19 clicks of rebound and 19...

I don't adjust mine while riding. I'm still fighting the zeb and have the compression set full open. It still feels quite harsh but not as bad as it was before the lower leg service. I'm 200lbs with gear and have removed all tokens (it came with two installed) and am running 68psi. I can ride...

I'm also 5' 10" and the large is just right if that helps.

I did the lower and upper service today. The upper seals were bone dry. In the lower there was some oil in the damper side. Barely any oil in the lower air spring side. I gave everything a good clean with IPA then greased it all lightly. Following the manual I added 20ml 0W-30 to each lower...

Yeah I spent ages trying to remove mine thinking it was magnetic then realized that its screwed down.

Thanks guys, doing the lower leg service this morning and will report back. Appreciate all the advice.

In my opinion the XT shifting is 5 to 10 years ahead of SRAM. I have three bikes. Two with X01 SRAM and one with XT. After experiencing the XT difference I'll never go back to SRAM shifting. XT is bulletproof. Never miss a shift no matter whether you're under load or pulling out of a slow...

I have a 2021 Rail 9.8XT that came with the Zeb 160mm Select +. I've been trying to tune this mofo for a month now with mixed success. I still have constant wrist pain during/after long rides. I'm 200 lbs with gear. My shockwiz matches my sag with comp ratio 2.7 using two spacer tokens. I get...

Grew up in Bellshill so familiar with Chatlerhault and Dalziel. Now in Austin, Texas. Bike trails here are awesome. Check out spider mountain downhill park a short drive away from Austin. Not much hills in Austin but tons of trails. Hamilton brings back fond memories.

One time I blamed the wife for losing one of our car keys. Two years later I went golfing again and found it in my golf bag. I never told her it showed up.

Driving home last night on 2021 Rail 9.8XT I'm having a blast. Pop the bike from emtb to turbo mode and got a 603 error about 5 minutes in. The battery was at about 60% charge. Error 603, please contact your dealer. So the bike is in limp mode. I pull the battery and reseat, reboot and we're...
