Is this an OE fork or did you upgrade? There's still a lot of steer tube left for the stack height. Looks to me that if it was factory cut that 10mm from the bottom wouldn't leave that much steer tube left up top.
+1 for the Boxxer. I think it compliments the Vivid perfectly. Not sure what "service" you're looking for off the bat but RS is super easy to work on for usual maintenance. If you're looking for a personal tune the few companies mentioned can help with any major brand. Fluid Focus has their own...
Good eye, I have. Without the bike in front of me it's a guess at the moment but for my preferred geometry I'd like to essentially keep the original stack height then +15mm, which may mean a new steer tube or CSU. Small price to pay to feel comfortable
The Acros AZX-260 that's likely spec'd has a plastic compression ring and is the source of problems for the many manufacturers who use their headsets. I have a Canyon (soon to have Decoy 29) and it's a known problem for them too. I'm replacing my headset out of the box.
IF that is your problem...
Hey all! New to the emtb world with the Decoy 29 I just picked up. I've been suffering pedaling up hills for waaaay too long :-) ... Unfortunately I have to wait until Oct for it to ship so I have plenty of time to buy upgrades!
I'm looking to lose the block lock too, found this 15mm bottom cup...
