Looks great!
Did you use a custom color code, or is that one of Slik's standard colors?

It’s a custom colour. I emailed them as I was going to order Neon Red, but they told me just to put Specialized Rocked Red and they would match it. The match is very good, see picture post install. The other colour is the standard Dark Grey.
First ride on coil, RC2 damper, and Mudhugger rear fender.
First ride on a new DT-Swiss 350 Hybrid Arc40 27.5/29 wheelset, Cushcore with a rear 27.5 x 3.0 Purgatory Grid and a front 29 x 3.0 Bontrager SE4.
Forgot to mention in last post that fork is now a Lyrik Ultimate 160 mm...
So far, love the mullet and the 3.0 tires better than my 2.8’s.

Upgraded RE brakes to Code RSC, put on a smaller Mudhugger rear fender, switched the Front fender to a Mudhugger FRX quick release (barely fits with a 29 x 3.0 tire).

I rode the horse for the first time this season. Still too cold, better keep skiing 
Just installed a new set of Saint brakes and Wow is all that I can say. Firstly I am not a code hater but after trying to convince myself that they were enough brake, the illusion faded away after a real downhill day. I never "cooked" them, they just simply lacked the umphh I needed even with trickstuff pads which really helped. I know the 220 rotors are supposed to help but....
The saints have all the power I need on the 200 rotors for now. 220s still on the way in anyway cause why not!

Yes I absolutely agree with you, I moved to the Saints and never looked back!

Ordered to Marzogghi Z1 Bomber the Runt dual chamber air spring cartridge.

Swapped out the rear 180mm icetech for a 203mm. They were on the wheels from my old bike and I just don't like the look of the sram discs so never used them.
The sram adaptor threw me. I was expecting to need 1.5mm washers to space the caliper up like I did on my boxxers, but these needed 3mm. Can't work that out.
Bought a cheap cassette tool from eBay to check the tokens in the lyriks.1 as standard, added another. My main cassette tool has a prong so is no use for the forks.
But the greatest success was going tubeless! This wheel tyre combo beat me comprehensively last year but I guess having a tube in for 5 months has stretched the tyre to fit. Popped straight on this time.?

This week's unessesary spend due to not actually being able to ride is hope cranks at 155mm with a 34 to replace the stock 32. I did have some Miranda at 150mm but they were just a stopgap so see if shorter suited me. Q factor seems about 10mm wider each side.
Also a fox spring 550x2.8 I ordered from Germany as even with postage was cheaper than the UK for just the spring alone. Replaced the 650 it came with which only sagged at most 20%. Should be ideal once I get down to 95kg.
Removal was a nighmare needing ratchet straps whilst bouncing on the bike to tighten them enough to be able to remove the retainer. Removal of the straps involved jacking and lowering my van onto the spring to compress it enough to loosen the straps. Lucky the new one was a bit shorter and fitted with no hassle!

I’m interested to see how you get on with this , looks a good product ! I’ve heard of the mrp cartridge but that only ramps up the end stroke (last 3rd) !

I have rode a few times. The fork is definitely more sensitive and driving higher. Better mid stroke and can keep to air pressure low. Riding weight about 82 kilos and pressure Low 60 and High 120. Even over 1 m drops, no bottoming.
Well.. thanks to you I got some installed on my Kenevo too!
Loving them..

Switched the last part shifter and derailleur. My Kenovo is full Shimano now, except the cranks and chain ring
