But seriously the bike needs more range . Im getting about the same range and time . The decoy is great as a DH bike and replacing car shuttles but a 2 - 2.5 HR trail ride is a bit short .
The rear shock comes with 3 spacers, its extremely progressive. Adding more bands will make the shock more progressive especially in the mid stroke , internal spacers add mid stock progression and increase the mid stroke platform on the progression curve. The spacer dont effect just the...
How have you got the rear shock set up ?
What sag are you running ?
Are you running spacers in the rear shock ? .
I run 2.6 DHF wide trails DH casing on the LOW setting and not had a pedal strike .
It could be you may not have enough mid stock compression or too much sag .
Are you working on your bike in a bike stand wheels off the ground ? If the bike is off the ground the weight from the wheels if still attached can be loading up the axels making axels tight . Same applies if your working on the bike upside down with the wheels attached .
If you dont have a...
Maxxis minion DHF front and rear both DH casing Wide trail 2. 5 setup tubeless .
At half the price of the Ebike spec tires and with very little chance of punchers plus added rim protection its a no brainer .
For this combo weight penalty , rotational weight penalty is negligible over...
Best bet is purchase a cheep track pump with no gauge and buy a digital tire pressure gauge. Monitor air pressure for performance , adjust and check tire pressure every ride.
Looks amazing, they ride unreal , my bike is a rocket ship . I put the spare spacer on top of the stem under the stem and lifted the bars slightly , I think it rides better .
Get the bottle and some stash tools !.
Let me know if you find a decent mudguard for the back , the lower axels and...
Reach is the most important . im 5'8, and with shoes 5'9 I ride a large , feels perfect . Its slightly longer than a large DH bike but its not a boat .
I think I could ride the XL no worries . Its a very agile bike ,but with the 29er front its nice to be able to get big weight shift/ input...
I think the Elite is the Pro Race its basically the same bike same price for a newer/ slightly stiffer fork , different branded wheel set and the rear shocks had a yearly refresh from fox .I think the elite is making way for the new pro race with a new Shimano motor and longer range...
Ok , so you can handle a bike .
I look at it like this ,
If you do a frame the bike has to go back and it will take weeks to sort out no matter what brand .
If you do a motor it might take longer , specialized may have some reconditioned motors available but who knows , I think the shimano...
Received a pro race last week. Amazing bike .Rides amazing very fast bike and really responsive ,,, planted . Power delivery is really good but the cut out at 28 KPH is something you just have to adjust to but I only noticed it on stand still flat features not momentum riding
Upgraded the...
