These non tuned Kashima 38s are quite something. First ride out last night on settings I was using with the 170mm Elites that came with the Levo Expert and they were ridiculous. Never had forks that float over chunder the way these do. Plenty of tuning to do but right out the box they are so so...
Thanks that would be helpful. its s4
I'm set on a fox transfer if I'm honest
I know Will Greenfield on YT has a Pro with a 175 dropper and it goes in this much in the photo which is plenty low enough. The 200mm transfer is obviously quite a bit taller. I'll be honest the 175 xfusion manic is...
10 clicks from clockwise/closed?
I've now got it set to the specialized calculator. Had LSC set to 0 (slowest). Now on about 11. Not sure I want a load of LSC dialled in.
Found my 38s to be choked at anything under 3 clicks of HSR. Felt good at 4 clicks
My X2 sounds like this at 4 min 55 in. Maybe difficult to pick up on a phone but there's a strange noise. Almost like a rubbing plastic friction sort of noise. Has plenty of stiction and feels like the bearings...
How does yours feel and sound? I get a strange rubbing noise on mine. Hard to describe.
I came from and still have a Superdeluxe ultimate with and without a meg neg. Going to fit it soon and send that X2 off
TFT have just fixed up my 38's. Posted in another thread but the bearings were too...
I hate the matte red otherwise I would have
Dropper on mine now needs a service. owned since Oct.1st.2021. Not long until it stops working now I think
The x2 on the expert is garbage. Going to send it off to TF Tuned to see if they can make it better. It'll give me a chance to try out the...
38s back from TF Tuned. Issues with bearings excessive play one side and I think too tight the other
Buttery smooth. The difference actually made me laugh. You could breathe on the handlebars and they would break away. No noises. 4 clicks of HSR seemed to open up the damper and allow it to soak...
Did anyone replace the shock mounting hardware yet
Is it the same as a 2019 stumpjumper 803-03-244
Just thinking about fitting this superdeluxe like the other people have. I can press the old one out just rather leave the x2 alone and out a new mounting kit in the superdeluxe.
Tried this and its significantly improved it thanks. I almost don't notice it now.
May pull it all out and make more of an effort
Forks are out for a service at TFT, specifically asked them to get a 38 die in there and burnish the bushings. If they don't do it it'll be off to Jim's Bikes in...
Ive got one to try on mine with the meg. Not sure what the setup was though, on my old stumpy I had to keep the rebound very low and with the meg it sank well into its travel. Hard to get 25% sag at 300psi ha
Dont think much to the X2. Handles bigger hits reasonably well. doesnt have the small...
probably not. I've got a 170mm fork up front now but it doesn't need it really, does soak up the chunder well, though. Rear end feels unmatched now thats all
I do like the geo it has with the 170mm (63.5 HTA with the shorter rear end by my calculations)
So having had a chance to look at 3 other people's 38's I can conclude that knocking is normal
I've tried a kenevo SL with elites like mine and they feel the same. Tried a factory 38 and the same noises and feeling to mine.
Reading the thread they need to be set 10 psi under what Spesh...
