Hi all! Been getting more miles on my Rail 7 and really enjoying it! I “upgraded” from a Haibike xduro that was honestly very similar but had the older Bosch motor and I wanted more power and better clearance from the trek. I hit too many rocks and my wife was kicking my butt up hills lol.
After fixing my brake the only issues I’ve had with the rail are:
1. The dropper seat is a little sticky and harder to actuate than my old haibike
2. It does not feel nearly as planted and stable at high speed during descents.
The second is the one I’m posting about today. I’ve so far tried reducing the tire pressures and the air pressure in the shocks. That didn’t seem to make a huge difference. It still feels a bit shaky.
Im thinking it might have to do with the difference in tires-the Haibike was a 27.5 x 2.8 60 tpi with tubes. This is (obviously) 29x 2.6 120 tpi tubeless
Would CushCores or procores make a bug difference? Is there something I’m overlooking on setup? I have the Monolink set to the low position.
I would describe the ride as “skittish” or “shaky” at high speeds.
Perhaps I’m nitpicking and the improvement in clearance and climbs is exactly what I was hoping for. I just didn’t expect to feel less confident at higher speeds.
Thanks I’m advance for any insight or suggestions!!
