Yup :) same here I just unplugged the E8000 one and plugged E7000 in.
I have no idea why they even bothered with that (reused Di2 Front mech) switch in the first place
it rides like a dream :) i do love the big 29 wheels!!! i am quite tall and they feel oh so right
i was thinking of waiting for 2020 but I actually don't want more travel :)
Here is my 2018 Power Meta 29 :) got it 3 days ago with some very good discount
Changed:
EX1 Group to XO1 Eagle (red makes you faster Duuh)
Dropper Fox Transfer 170mm
Nukeproof horizon carbon 800mm bars and horizon Stem
Death grips
Ergon saddle
Magped pedals
and i LOVE IT !!!
i see :) we are located and the trail entrance so we don't really have that many adventure riders.
i understand the offset dilemma :D as i also have a good fork laying around but i decided to sell the fork and go for the RS. Lyric is an amazing fork and having better tires just adds to the value.
i will know for sure on Monday when everyone is back from vacations but as far as i understand i will have mine by the 8th
i don't really understand why they only stock the cheaper version.
i do think that RS makes way more sense with the upgraded damper and better brakes
we are almost not...
not toot my own horn but that is the reason i like bikes like Whyte where they put a lot of attention on bearings and bushings and give you a lifetime warranty on them. it seems very silly to me that they made you pay for it.
the reach numbers quite easy to find on the manufacturer's website.
Canyon Reach: 475mm Mondraker: 505mm
if you have Mondraker dealer around you i would recommend to go try one out.
I see what you mean :) it seems like you ride in some very demanding conditions (rock on btw)
I would be more worried about frame damage than cable damage :D
I have my 150rs ordered already and I also can't wait to throw the thing around. also as a Whyte dealer i am lucky enough to get it very...
I am 198cm myself and I would go for mondraker any day over the canyon.
the reach on the Canyon is quite short so you would have to run a 50mm+ stem
the reach on the Neuron XL is smaller than size L mondraker :)
but how do you crush it ? do you just hit the bb on a rock or something?
also, I feel like changing cable 2 times in 3 years is normal :) but that might be just me
Hmmm.. I work in a MTB specific bike shop and I see a lot of bikes coming in and out of the workshop. Surprisingly there is a lot of bikes that have similar cable routing and I have yet to see a single instance of someone actually damaging the cables that way or having them stuck on anything...
