It’s not for me, but in support of the guy asking, which one of the four sizes mentioned in that shot of the manual is it?

Good shout, didn’t even read what was on picture of the manual :D

I don’t have a gauge to accurately measure it but it looks like 30.9mm to me. Difficult to pull it out to measure accurately given the internal cable routing.

Oh so the 13mm spanner doesn’t come in the box?

It comes with all the Allen Keys and the Spanner so your all good.

And to the earlier question, a 6a High Speed Bosch charger which is the most expensive one they do...

I also have a long body, shorter legs and I am also used to medium traditional frames so you should be all good.
That describes me perfectly, I am 5ft 9 but only have 29 inch legs. I went for the large. It is perfect, the reach if spot on, yes the stand
OK, so guys, for those who have taken delivery already, what does the bike come with then? Charger, obviously, adapter... sometimes? What about shock pump and/or else?
pretty much only comes with a charger, adapter is a bonus as is a bell ??

Could start a new poll on here....WHATS IN THE BOX......OR.......HOW GREASY WAS YOUR BIKE ..........on that last note mine looked like the guy assembling the bike wiped it down with the same rag he wiped his hands with when greasing up the bearings...?????

It’s easy to check . You just undo the seat collar and then pull the seat post up until you see the marking that says the size on back of the seat post . If you need more slack the just pull push cable Sle in from the front , it’s easy , this is how you take it out too .
Can’t get my head asking why people think this is a hard job to do .
This is an actual deal breaker for me as my missis don’t want it if her seat post won’t fit .

There is a few owners and not one real answer !

frustrating . Will have To see what rob says when he gets his .

Ok thanks mate much appreciated. Now it’s up to the missis if she still wants the bike or wait for something else .

Personally, I wouldn’t be basing a whole bike purchase around whether a dropper you already own would fit?!

Her Wolf Tooth lever can be moved to the new bike, and it’d be better to sell the old 31.6 dropper on.

My wife’s dropper is 31.6 .. it won’t fit the tube . Seatpost diameter on the bike is to small .

she has her Own Fox factory with wolf tooth lever to go into her next bike .
Sell the Fox Factory Transfer 31.6 dropper and the KS Rage 30.9 dropper with lever that comes with the bike and buy a brand new Fox Factory Transfer 30.9. Job done. ?

What's everyone replacing the saddle with...not the most comfortable in the world, I know it's all down to body shape........i can send in a picture of my arse if this helps ?????????
Is this the Selle Italia X1? I'd be looking to change to the emtb specific Ergon SM E-Mountain Sport Saddle. RRP £79.99 but on Tredz for £66.99 plus an extra £5 off with voucher code.

NOT sure what it is.... Some sort of French revenge for the whole brexit fiasco.

How’s the other saddle on your wife’s? Any better?

I went for the Ergon SM E-Mountain saddle as I mention in my review. Not convinced though, better than the stock one for sure but not perfect if there is such a thing. I think it’s a love it or hate it thing.

Ergon just released an updated version of this saddle which sounds pretty impressive but it’s double the price at 150 euros I think and without trying it I’m not sure I want to take a punt on it.

Some people went for the Selle SMP Trk Geo saddle which you can see on Amazon, looks comfortable but not tried it though.

I think i can honestly say i have never waited so long with so much anticipation as i am for this bike. Due date is still Monday. The wait feels like forever though.

Yep likewise. I’ve checked on my order today and today it shows as shipped and still due to be delivered in store on 14th. Hopefully it might be sooner ?
