A little background. I've always had trouble keeping the housing end on the housing and seated in the stop on the dropper when inserting my post in the seat tube. Never had the issue on my other frames, just the bullit. The stop on my oneup dropper is very shallow so that doesn't help.
The...
I want to say its at least 11 or 12 that have failed last I heard...
I'd love to run them but I'm not convinced I should with my weight and riding style. The folks at 5dev said they'd take them back so I'm thinking thats probably the best thing to do.

Any issues with your cranks so far? I bought a set, put them on then promptly took them off after reading about all the failures.
I was assured by 5dev that the e cranks are burlier than the standard ones that have been snapping but I don't know if I want to take the chance... I'm 265 fully...
I was wondering what the difference between the race and normal builds was. Axles look beef compared to the holy stockers for sure.
Is there also a difference between the regular motor and race motor? Maybe I'm making things up but I thought I saw "race" script on one of the motots on their...
Even though I should probably use a full face I went with a dropframe and a poc Kortal for the warmer days.
The dropframe has plenty of vents and is comfortable for what it is. I think the new one has a ratchet mechanism to fine tune fit that my older one doesn't which would be a bonus.

I get it l, I feel the same about the old man poo brownze bullit. If I had the option of choosing a color it sure as fuck wouldn't have been either of the ones offered. The new 23 colors aren't much better. It would be cool if, for the money you spend, you could pick your own.
The only bonus is...
After 3 good rides in the last week I can confirm that all the changes were for the better and the bike still rips.
It's only 3mm but the shorter stem steers perfectly and feels pretty mint overall. The Dominions do dominion things (work amazingly well) just in purple. The 23 Zeb uses all its...
Whelp, after seeing several failures I will be taking the 5dev cranks off the bike.
If you want more info check out @mylittlebikeshop on insta, he's got a video of his breaking while riding on pavement...

Coils work very well on the bullits, I put an ext e-storia on mine half way through last summer and fell in love.
If you don't mind the bit of harshness that comes with the air shock you may as well rebuild. The coil will be plusher and will erase trail chatter in comparison.
I kept my air...
Thats what I thought too but my buddy at the bike shop thinks the new sram chain isn't compatible. Doing more digging I see sram does make a 104 bcd ring but if I dont need it... I was hoping to just buy the cassette, chain, derailleur and shifter.

I'm wondering if the new sram chain will work with the front chainring the bike came with.. If not is there anyone making a ring yet that will work with a 104 bcd spider?
Thanks in advance.
