2020 R Spec in XL
Out of the box to this day, only major upgrade: Fender on the fork. Was thinking about to replace the Yari with a Zeb Ultimate or at least to update the Motion Control with the RC2.1 damper, but not done yet.

 

[Ushtang]

Yeah that was the first thing I changed out. I was getting some pretty annoying brake dive from the Yari which I was able to tune out a bit by adding a click or 2 of low speed compression. But switched to the Zeb which I am able to run LSC wide open without any brake dive.

21 Heckler MX CC XT. Has a Cascade link and a 150mm air spring to make it a bit better suited to jumping, overall I've been quite happy with it.

2021 MX CC S build up Mount Keen (Scottish Munro). Upgraded levers to code RSC and fitted Cushcore
Now waiting for the Heckler 9's to arrive in the UK...

Which Zeb did you choose? The Ultimate with 160mm of travel? The brake dive is exactly what‘s annoying me the most.

I got the Zeb ultimate, 160mm. But it think with the design of the air spring that makes the fork sit higher in the travel and the extra air volume of the 38mm stanchion, any of the Zebs won’t have brake dive.

If any of you find yourself in Santa Cruz, send me a message I ride every week and would be happy to show you around! Demo Forest in the Santa Cruz mountains is pretty damn fun!

I have two solid rides on this now. Loving it so far. The thick ZEB pairs well with the Heckler’s massive down tube.

Hey Jason, what do you think of the industry 9 hubs? Have you had to change your bearings yet? - and if so, how long did they last?

 

[Heckler Sb130]

Anyone here upgrade their Shimano display and have the original SC-E7000 sitting in the toolbox collecting dust? If so, Im interested in buying it. Im liking my '22 Heckler but fighting small bump compliance and arm/shoulder fatigue/soreness. Upgraded to a OneUP bar and fatter grips but those Reserve rims are stiff mothers !

 

[VWsurfbum]

What forks are you using?
Front tyre pressure?
Terrain?

160 Lyrik Ultimate...setup properly
20-22 psi on a 2.5 Maxxis EXO w/ SC Reserve rim
Rocky

One day I rode my buddies bullit and was pain free for the first 20 till I hoped back on my bike for the final 6 and the soreness came by the end of the 6 miles. Same bars on the bike at the time with the biggest difference being the wheel. He has 3.0 and aluminum rims on his rig.

 

[VWsurfbum]

Could you ask a wheel builder to build in some more compliance?
Or put a 2.6 on? (marginal difference i know)
