    Smashpot fork coil conversion on 2019 Decoy Base

    You need to go up a weight on the spring due to the extra weight of the E-bike........

    Smashpot fork coil conversion on 2019 Decoy Base

    Just got back from riding my favourite test trail, I set the compression to 6 clicks in from open and dialled in a bit more rebound, I "think" it was better over chattery bumps, the difference between 6 clicks and 7 is massive, way too firm on 7, so I see the need for a damper with proper...

    Smashpot fork coil conversion on 2019 Decoy Base

    Doomanic, the smoothness and lack of stiction from the Smashpot knocks the airshaft out of the park! Worth every penny, it's as big a change to the bike as the Bomber coil was........

    Smashpot fork coil conversion on 2019 Decoy Base

    At the moment, yes I tend to ride with the compression fully open on all my bikes, just adjusting the rebound. I'll go out today and have a play with the compression, but don't have any diving issues, maybe a bit of compression would help with chatter over repeated roots/stones? Looking at...

    Smashpot fork coil conversion on 2019 Decoy Base

    Since I fitted a Bomber coil to the rear, I've really noticed the lack of smoothness/compliance at the front compared to the plush feel from the rear..... Tried lower leg service along with a 170mm airshaft, better, but still not what I was looking for... Bit the bullet and ordered a Vorsprung...

    Progressive Coil spring on Decoy

    I'm the same 73kg kitted as you Mike and same sag (around 31%), I don't do the 4ft drops, so can run the compression pretty much open and benefit from the plush ride without bottoming..... In fact the rear is so plush, I've ordered a Smashpot fork coil conversion from TFTuned as the front now...

    hope brake mounts HELP NEEDED

    I've swapped my Hope V4's to 3 different bikes now , each time I've had to "ease" the adaptor a mm or so as the Hope caliper seems to sit a little lower than the Shimano/Sram calipers, 2 minute job with a 1/2 round file, may be worth pointing out to your LBS........ I'm sure the pukka Hope...

    Progressive Coil spring on Decoy

    For sure you'll get less sag, maybe a price to pay if you're bottoming out a lot? Looking at the TFTuned spring calculator you'll probably get 5-10% less sag, maybe speak to the guys in the workshop there, very helpful! Or, more compression damping? I considered a progressive spring on my Decoy...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    OneUp Carbon bar, 10mm lower (20mm rise) coz the Decoy's pretty high and now super plush on the bars, does a really good job of dampening the ripples/stones etc (y)

    Post Up your Decoy Upgrades with Reviews

    First "upgrade" was to fit a set of Hope V4 brakes that I've had on 2 previous bikes, not sure if it's an upgrade or not over the Codes that came with the bike as i never used them! Hope stem to make the brakes, natch! Metal end caps on the cranks so they don't fall off (colour coded to the...

    Decoy Flip Chip High Setting

    Forgot to add, I installed the 170mm airshaft in the fork, so the geometry is pretty much the same as flip-chip-low.........

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    NOOOOOO Surely it was better being able to change mode settings every time you used the dropper post??????

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    A oneup carbon bar 10mm lower for my Decoy (20mm instead of 30mm), should be even more plush at the front (rear's fine, coil shock), still waiting as it's bank holiday tomorrow here in France......
