Hmmm, I don't know why but that makes me want to try it out even more…they seem pretty anal about getting the bike in for testing when they're building out a new platform. Will have to see if they will even sell me one without having the bike in house.

I did a needle bearing on my xc bike but not this one. May need to rethink that as it did make the pivot way smoother. I used a RWC Needle Bearing and really liked how it felt.

Guess I now know what I will be spending more money on in the future… The challenge I had was deciding whether to go with the Push Eleven6 of the EXT e-Storia?! I looked at both and initially I couldn't really decide except to note that Cascade offers EXTs which is interesting given their...

Ha Hahaha happy to help! Was originally going the coil route but Troydon talked me out of going that direction.

The brake levers are from Freedom Coast and were an impulse buy. They’re definitely nicer than stock with a better feel but are totally unnecessary LOL 😆. I’ve only got a single ride in on the new Crestline so I wouldn't say that I have any of the suspension dialed in just yet. I run the MRP...

Finally got Sweet 16 (of 35) out for a ride — thankfully the lockout was in the open position when the knob came off. The ride was crazy...definitely feel like I got what I paid for. Only had time for a quick 8 mile gravel loop but I was grinning like a fool the whole time.

I continue to be floored by how amazing Crestline’s customer service is…literally sent the above note to Troydon via email just after I posted the above and he called me on my mobile in less than 15 minutes (I didn’t even ask for a call just advice on how to get it fixed) and is sending me a...

Argh! Unfortunately, that NBD glow was crushed last night…literally ran one lap of my neighborhood street, plugged in the bike for the ride I planned to do in the morning and then took a look at the rear shock settings…all looked good so I sat on the bike to get a feel for where the lockout...

The money pit finally made it home today! Can’t wait to take it out for more than just a spin around the block (even though that was super fun in Race mode). Big shoutout to First Mile Cycle Works for taking a lot of boxes and turning it into 55lbs of fun.

I have not been lucky enough to find a set of tires I haven't struggles to get on and/or off my rims. The inserts definitely add a pain in the ass factor (and weight) but I like the insurance and extra bit of damping. I know a bunch of folks just run them in the rear…you might want to start...

I use the Shadow Conspiracy shin guards when needed and sometimes just throw on the Ion padded socks if its just light stuff/pedal strike worries

I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get the second 750wh battery for a backup

I can see the logic and at 2/3 the cost of a full 750wh battery its not hard to just pass on one when I can get a full-size 750wh for $850 - Just wish the full-size battery wasn't so full size 😆

Anyone using the PowerMore 250 with your Crestline?

The build is honestly a little over the top but I blame the wait for the frameset (and then the wheelset when I didn’t see that there was a 3-week build time) as it gave me way too much time to order bling-bling Ti bolts and other replacement Gucci parts…but it is gonna be pretty. 🤩 As far...

Stoked that the RS180 build out is almost finished...just stopped by the LBS to see how things were coming along and was surprised to see that it's nearly done when they've only had the big box of bits for a day...great shop! Here's the components I pulled together for the build: Wheels...

Thanks! The engraving is super hard to see with old man eyes.

Guys, for the flipchip which way is LT vs ST? Can someone share a picture of yours in Long Travel?

Anyone? What's your headset set to?

Looks like you need a quarter-turn female like this but you seem to be missing the outside holes to attach the adapter.
