How are you liking the Fox 40 upfront? Did you reduce the travel to 180mm?
There’s a plastic tube in the frame to guide the brake line through.
Is there one for the derailleur cable as well?

In the first need for replacement, it is easier to replace only the wire
Yes there is
Awesome, thanks!!
I've also been thinking about this. Geometry-wise it would take the HA from 64 to 63, SA from 77 to 76, decrease reach by about 11mm, increase wheelbase by about 11mm (plus the longer offset of a 29 fork), BB height raised from -14mm drop to about -6mm. Luckily the BB is pretty low to begin with so it makes this change plausible. For example, the Norco Range has a BB drop of -5mm.
Anyone have an idea as to how I can reduce high speed chatter? I have yet to mess with volume spacers but would this help?
When riding at high speed say above 25kmh the fork feels rough over braking bumps and fire roads. It does feel great on chunky stuff its the small stuff that does not feel smooth. Hope that made any sense at all!

1. It looks like you lost the rubber guard (See attached photo of my bike). You could put some 3M sealing tape or a piece of inner tube or any plastic high impact frame protection.
2.- On the other hand your chain looks slack. Check the derrailleur tension and chain length.

In summer I replaced the Butchers rear tire by 2,6 Eliminator Black Diamond, stronger carcass and better rolling resistance and cornering. In winter / mud, 2,6 Hillbilly black diamond all days.
The rubber guard is still attached if you look closely. Rear wheel was off that's why the chain looks slack. But you might be right, I'll see if the derailer need tension

Comp owners: what is the x fusion dropper length that comes on the s4? For the life of me, I can’t seem to find that info via searching.
I should have measured when I saw one in the shop the other day. Apologies if this has been asked before!

150mm drop
Isn’t it 160mm?
I don’t believe XFusion offer the Manic dropper in anything over 150mm.
On the expert is 160 mm , and I'm not able to find the total length either ( thinking about changing it for a 175 mm)
Are you sure? I know the official Specialized spec list reads ‘Command Post IRcc S: 130mm, M/L/XL: 160mm of travel’ but I’ve always considered this to be incorrect because they use the old sizing format and all bikes (including my own Expert) actually come with the X Fusion Manic dropper, which is only available up to 150mm drop.
I was considering an upgrade to a 170mm+ post because I find the stock one a bit short on travel but if it’s only a 10mm increase it’s probably not worth it.
I’ll have to measure when i’m home...

Hey all Kenovo Comp owners. Marzocchi made a new coil fork and you can also upgrade an existing one with a new coil.
Bomber Z1 Coil
Bomber Z1 Coil
A coil upgrade without breaking the warranty? How cool is that? ?
My Smashpot coil conversion feels great and takes the Bomber to the next level. The added weight doesn’t mean much on an e-bike.
This Marzocchi kit is much more affordable also..
