Decoy Shred

[Singletrackmind]

I'm 6ft even and ride a large. Actually prefer the slightly smaller size. Think reach and stack do have validity but not the end all. Absolutely love the nimbleness and ride quality of my Decoy. Although mine is the Elite model, I upgraded to a Push ELEVENSIX coil shock and installed a DSD RUNT on the Fox 38 fork and they transcended the bike.

Has anyone found an alternative to the Thirstmaster 2000 that will fit the Decoy? I just object to 50euro for an effing bottle!

Think the DHX2 has shat the bed

I have just seen that this morning, might be an option ?

Polar Bottle Session Muck Bottle carries more water on Small Full Suspension Bikes

Can't find a water bottle small enough to fit your mountain bike frame? The compact 15oz Session Muck from Polar Bottle may do the trick.

Thanks! I'll measure it up and see if it'll work. Bike is off the road now anyway as DHX2 has died and been sent to Fox for warranty.

I will measure as well when I have the opportunity. I have this expensive Thirstmaster but I am not super happy with it: it looks really used now and not completely sealed...

Dhx2 back from fixed. Fixed under warranty no questions asked. Very happy to have it back, I love this bike! Took 2 of the three tokens out of the fork and it's so much better now for the stuff I ride.

Did some experimenting with a couple of different cages. Unfortunately I don't think any regular diameter cage will fit under the coil. Think I will just buy the stupid YT one.

It's really annoying I don't like that bottle at all and it's too small for a regular ride... I have removed it and I take a regular bottle in a fanny pack for now

I really wish there was a better alternative. However, my e-bike rides are from my door, so I prefer to carry the absolute minimum and generally I don't ride the e-bike more than 2 hours, so I don't need too much water. I'm just going to buy it and hopefully it's not junk!

It works fine but you will see the quality is on par with a £5 bottle. I cannot believe the price they charge for a small plastic bottle it is the same price as the full replacement bearing kit !! Unbelievable

It is absolutely ridiculous. Guess they know that nothing else will fit!

Appreciate It! Wasn't so sure of the color when I ordered it but I love it in person! On the other side of the bike I have a OneUp EDC pump and tool kit combo that I have mounted to the bottle cage, tucks against the frame very nicely, doesn't rattle or rub anything and has everything I need for me not to wear a pack. Was looking into the Tubolito S Tubo and put it in a thin pouch where I have my current tube, but it won't work for a 27.5 and 29, whereas I can use the 29 tube I carry for any size! I do like the look of a clean pouch instead of just my ugly tube out in the open though. Still some work to do but very happy so far! View attachment 45900

How did you fit the oneup pump bracket under there?
