I’m guessing you are an aggressive rider to have bent so many cranks. I’m fairly aggressive and 200lbs. No bent cranks yet, but I’m worried about it. I sure wish someone made a good crankset for this bike. I have Dev5 cranks on my analog bike. They are strong and a work of art. I asked and they...
I had a 2020 X2 230x65 that was a take off from another bike. I sent it to Fluid Focus for a custom tune and they shortened the stroke to 62.5 as well. It fits on my S3 easily. I have 3 or 4 rides on it with no issues.
That is how I measured mine, not parallel to the seat tube. You‘re inseam appears to be shorter than mine. I would think you could get away with a 180mm dropper. The OneUp website has all the measurements on their droppers for you to be able to determine which dropper would fit. In addition...
I meant the seat post is is inserted as far as it can go into the seat tube. I couldn’t run any longer of a seat post. If you measure from the top of the pedal to the center of the seat rails on your current bike and it is more than 895mm then you would have to use a OneUp 180mm dropper rather...
The stock dropper is very long. I’m 178cm and ride an S3. I am able to run a 200mm OneUp dropper. It is fully Inserted into the sea tube, but it does fit. For reference, I ride flat pedals and I’m 895mm from the top of the pedal to the center of the seat rails if that helps you determine what...
I agree with Jcmonty. I hated the motor drag on my previous shimano motor bike. The KSL has almost zero drag. The adjustable geometry is great. I run it fully slack at the bike park and fully steep on my somewhat tame local trails and it works excellently at both.
I’m wondering the same thing. There is enough bad press on Praxis cranks that I don’t really trust them. I would like to try some 155mm cranks as well if anyone knows if you they are available to fit the Brose motor.
He revalved the compression circuit for my weight, ability and bike. The stock rebound was good so he didn’t do anything there. I’m assuming the new valving has more support than stock because I had to lower the air pressure 15 lbs to get 30% sag. I went from 235psi to 220psi. The lower air...
I have 3 rides on the tuned shock. A significant improvement. I am running the settings Ryan recommended and they are really good. All of the harshness and tendency for the stock shock to kick and swap side to side is gone. The new shock tracks so straight and is plush without wallowing or...
Thank you for providing the correct torque values.
This is what my manual shows. FF is the top shock mount bolt. Fortunately I’ve done my own bike work for many years so I knew that 200 Nm was way off. Unfortunately, a newer rider may not know and would create some serious damage following this...
I think this has been discussed before, but not sure. I’m replacing the shock on my Expert build with a custom tuned Float X2. The manual says the lower shock bolt torque is 220 Nm, and the upper shock bolt is 200 Nm. This can’t be correct. I think you would crack the frame at those numbers and...
I just sent a Float X2 Factory to Fluid Focus to be tuned for this bike and my weight and riding style. Hopefully it will be a significant improvement over the X2 Performance with its limited tune ability. The stock Performance level X2 is ok but limited in how good you can make it work.
I can confirm this. I torqued as per the manual and snapped the bolt. Specialized stood behind it an sent me an entire linkage/shock bolt package for free. I know people like to rag on Specialized, but I have had nothing but positive results when dealing with them.
I ordered an Ext for another bike that had an X2. I did not order bushings and hardware. It was a mistake. The Fox bushings/hardware were not compatible. As much as these shocks cost, I’d order the bushings/hardware so you know it’s right. Also, I would order that new 3D printed clicker...
I want to try some shorter cranks on my S3. Does anyone know if you can run any brand of crank, or do you need a specific brand? I would like try 155 but there are limited brands in this size.
I am all for a group of people that are willing to stand together to beat the shit out of these guys. But, you better be sure you significantly outnumber the punks and are ready to have at it. There was more than one thief involved, and it would be quite foolish to jump in yourself unless you...
