    I moved to high position after numerous strikes on trails I am very familiar with. Strikes are way down and will be even moreso once I go 160 front.

    XTR chain is worth the spend. Less wear, less rust.

    I have been running XR4's for years. Working fine on the ebike. Bad thing is they have been replaced by Bonty with a heavier tire. Argh.

    Likely not, but the RS thst came stock on my 9.8 beat my hands and shoulders up. Pulled it and sold it after the first ride. But, I am partial to Fox anyway. Know the product better and how I like it set up. That is a bridge you can cross later.

    A used 36 will work fine if that is familiar to you.

    My ride from this last weekend. I don't think you will need a full fat.

    Been using the light action Wolf Tooth for a few yrs. My shifter/brake is together. Would love to convert baxk to bar for each. Limited to rotation and distance in/out as is, XT.

    Seatpost is the larger 34.9, FYI. I picked up a Cane Creek adaptor and the old style 200mm Fox dropper on sale for $100 and rolled.

    I run 2.4's on mine, XR4 for now. Nothing wrong with upgrading as needed. I rode with a youth, 25 years younger than me ( I am 55), and he was on a reg bike. I wanted the natural feel and to be able to ride with my normal bike buds since I am the only one on an ebike right now. This has...

    Sound slike you just need a little assist, which I was after. Keeping it on Eco, it allows you to ride longer and not get so drained. Range is extended out to 60-80 miles. I can ride 2 to 3 times on a charge depending on length. Did 19.5 miles this weekend, starting with 67%. Rode most on...

    The problem is the color comes from the tint in the clear. It can vary and changes with the light. I'd say Slik is as likely as anyone to have something close.

    Rode the integrated bar/stem once. Hands and wrists were sore, sold them and put my set up that I have ran on very bike for the last 8 years. I don't understand that as a stock item for a mass produced bike. On a race xc bike, I get it, but not this bike. On another note, took mine to the...

    I am running their lower shock bushing kit. I did not notice any play when I installed my X2, but I will check again.

    May be true, but until a call is made to McMaster Carr, its an assumption. If they sell military grade, would think it at least would be worth a call. I may do that this week.

    Mcmaster Carr has bolts to fit, but have the longer threads. I wonder if a longer bolt can be bought, and then cut, and tapped with a new shorter 1.25 pitch thread? Idk if the bolt siamter is on point, but may be worth a try.
