Only the frame,battery, seatpost and brakes are original on my Esommet (and front caliper is a Magura) so what have you changed on yours ?

Did the new air spring make a noticeable difference? My forks will need a service soon and I'm thinking of dropping the travel back to 170mm

Yes it made a difference because the old spring was somehow defective. The new one sits higher in the travel and doesn't have travel loss

I basically had everything for full build minus frame so when bike came straight in stand, wheeels, bar, stem & grips & shifter came off had a 10speed Saint shifter as my Vitus is base model
Put own wheels on as build all my own
Joystick stem & bar
Deathgrips
Removed forks put on some custom devilles so could ride whilst I did a Smashpot conversion on forks
After year riding have now gone 11speed & mullet with manitou Mezzer fork
brakes are MT5 with Fabio levers
