nice is that to keep mud away from the motor/bearings? I think ill give the ductape prototype a roll. reminds of the old duct tape walletsView attachment 139283
Just added a prototype mudstop made of duct tape for this morning's ride. There is slack in the center, with reversed duct tape under it so it moves freely.
Exactly! Works great so far..nice is that to keep mud away from the motor/bearings? I think ill give the ductape prototype a roll. reminds of the old duct tape wallets
Your seat seems higher than your bars, Glad I'm not the only oneExchanged the Rockshox Reverb AXS 170mm for an KS LEV Circuit 200mm dropper.
Nice. I've been mulling doing this but didn't have a suitable fork to keep the geometry reasonable.Been musing about de-mulleting my bike since I got it, I just never gelled with what felt like a bloody huge wheel way out in front of me and I found it particularly irritating in slow twisty techy stuff. Finally (over 2 years later lol) picked up a used 27.5" wheel in excellent condition and got a new DHF. I never thought it would make a huge difference but it's really noticeable and I love it. Running 180's instead of the stock 160's keeps geo similar too. Maybe I just spent too many years on 26ers or I'm simply a heathen and don't get on with this new fangled 29" malarky

I only went for 180 Domains cos my general MTB ineptitude was smashing through the 160 Lyrics in Morzine. But of course the 180/29" setup only made the whole front end feel even bigger. It's also not helped by the frame being an XL which is right on the cusp of being too big for my height. So the whole bike in general just felt 'big' but especially out front. The 27.5 has really tamed down the size, I was sceptical don't get me wrong, it's only 1.5" and is why it took me so long to get round to doing it but it's deffo easier to manage especially on tight stuff and I can't see me ever changing back. Horses for courses though, if my bike was on the cusp of being too small and/or I only wanted 160's then I prob wouldn't have done it.Nice. I've been mulling doing this but didn't have a suitable fork to keep the geometry reasonable.
Be very interested to hear how it rides. Be curious if the extra travel is actually more beneficial than the bigger wheel.
