I ended up swapping the blacked out Ohlins decals for the brushed aluminum.
Also swapped out the Hayes Dominion A4 braks for the Magura MT7's and much happier. The Magura MDR-P rotors where just an
experiment and will stick the Magura Storm rotors.
Stoked to finally have the bike set up...
I have to use Loctite on all of my SRAM AXS b-tension screws. I used to have to adjust them every 4-5 rides but have been good since using the Loctite.
Stoked I was able to fix my ghost shifting issues with my SRAM AXS Transmission today. I adjusted the micro-tune on the trail vs bike stand and had zero issues on todays ride. It does shift like crap on the bike stand but perfect on the trail. The old school AXS still shifts faster though, lol...
Had a few a rides on the new bike and love having 29in/29in wheels with the 180mm/180mm travel. This is a home run in the Lake Tahoe area.
Not a fan of the SRAM AXS Transmission. Will be swapping that out for the old style SRAM AXS drivetrain. The ghost shifting sucks. Sometimes everything is...
I prefer the full 29/29 with the rocky Lake Tahoe terrain. If I lived in Santa Cruz with the smoother tight/twisty trails I would go mullet. My current mullet get's hung up on the rocks. Hit me up any time if you want to check out the bikes.
New bike days are the best! This is my 3rd Crestline bike. My white one is set up 29er/29er with 160mm/150mm travel, my black one is set up mullet with 180mm/175mm travel and my new silver one is set up 29er/29er with 180mm/180mm travel. Ordered the Crestline RS 180 Silver Edition Frameset and...
Can't wait to build up my new Crestline RS 180! Going with Ohlins air suspension, SRAM GX AXS Transmission drivetrain, SRAM AXS dropper post, Hayes Dominion A4 brake/rotors, NOBL wheels, Onyx Classic hubs, One Up bar, stem and pedals. Hoping to have it completed in the next 2 weeks.
Agree on the Silver 180! Stoked that I have one on order!
My current 50/75 is set up with full 29in wheels and 160mm front/150mm rear. In 100% stock form the bike handled much better than anything I've ever ridden. Handled on rails! I ended up adding 5mm reach headset and it does not handle as...
I just want to mention that I've received the best customer service from Crestline. I wouldn't have any concerns with Crestline's support. Also think they have the best riding bikes around.
I've owned 5 bikes with Shimano motors and every single one of them rattled along with all of my Bosch bikes. The only full powered motor that does not rattle is the Brose. The Shimano and Bosch motors are much more quiet that the Brose climbing though.
