That's why I've been looking at an SL S-Works frame built up to what I want. I almost bought a 2021 SL Comp carbon for $6500(great deal, I thought), but by the time I replace all the parts to my liking with DPX2, I will be around $9500 with Lyrik fork is my choice. I can build an S-Works SL...
For me, the SL I demoed felt like riding a motorcycle compared to my 27# Ripley on all my familiar trails/climbs. It left a big grin on my face knowing I was easing the strain(just enough) on my ailing knees that kept me off my bike for 30 days and left me discouraged recently. It's pretty clear...
That’s about as minor as it will get in an expected spot for paint chips. OCD or not, you will quickly forget about it. Ask for the Pantone color and go from there. Or, someone mentioned, go nail polish shopping and you should be able to get pretty close with all the red color selections.
Isn’t the sprocket/ star that the 94 BCH chainring bolts to that has the offset? Now if the chainring is a direct mount, yes a boost will probably be needed.
I’m new to Ebikes but they all come with specific cranks unlike analog bikes don’t they, so why buy the Dub cranks with the complete kit? Go to Pinkbike.com and the XX1 upgrade kit is new for $824. A new X01 cassette and chain is $400. All for $1250-1300 max with fees and shipped. I do have a...
You don't need the full group set that comes with the cranks. Buy an Eagle cassette/ chain separate, then buy an AXS upgrade kit, which is the shifter/ derailleur, battery charger. $200 won't get you near and X01 cassette unless you buy a well used one.
I’m looking at buying an SL coming from an analog bike I would go with the shorter offset. I’m looking at a 160 Lyrik with 42 offset just because it wI’ll shorten the WB and give a quicker turn in (I think)
I weigh 185-190 geared up and demoed an SL Expert 21, and did a 25.5/2633' 2:21 moving time on my normal trails and I was down to the last red bar with about 4 miles flat back to the car. All the climbing was done back to the car and it was my first ever Ebike ride, so I didn't know what to...
My first post here after trying my first Emtb ride yesterday. I demoed a 2021 SL Expert (brand new demo bike) and I wouldn’t want a 50# Levo. Why not consider the 21 Expert SL that comes with the Fox 36/DPX2 over the S Works if you go the SL route. The 21 expert weighs 40.5# with Oneup pedals...
