Hi Anyone that can help me with a right side or set of geometry flip chips for a 2014 Scott Spark 940 Aluminum please?

I have also experienced the fibre tape (almost like duct tape) lift when the tyre debeads. And if you are not careful when using a tyre lever to take off the tyre, the lever pokes though the tape.

I might be able to help. Send me a dm.

It is not a deal breaker at all. You can always change that setup to a 1x11 with most of the existing components. Plus- the specs says a deore rear derailleur, but I have seen a few closer up picks from these bikes actually coming out with a Shimano Deore XT derailleur

@hansi06I would personally go for a Merida. The Big Nine 500 is a very good deal with all Shimano components. With Merida, you get a lifetime warranty on the frame if you are the original owner. Try and stay away from Sram 12 speed SX and NX drivetrains. The Silverback Stride has problems with the brakes leaking/ feeling spongy and rims cracking way to easily. The components like the wheels and brakes are just bad quality.

It's a nice bike with decent components. The 2X drivetrain is a bit old fashioned, but that is not a breaking point. Only negative I see is that this is a 27,5/650B Plus wheel size. Which means that tires and rims are a bit harder to find.

A new set of pads and good quality rotors should do the trick. Those calipers use the lower end shimano brake pads B01S or B05S. There is not a lot of other higher end pad options available for those calipers. Bedding in the brakes properly also affects the performance

It will be very nice to have a look at the behind the scenes (or a Documentary) of Alan and especially Candice's efforts bulding up to World Champs.

It looks really nice for the price. I am sure it will be able to take gpx files. I am just curious to know how the interface looks and how it works

We broke a vice and our work bench trying to get that ring out. Sent it away to get stoked , who were the agents for dt swiss at the time if I remember correctly to remove and replace. They ended up cutting it out with a dremel.

The Silverback Stride has a max rating of 120KG with the bike. I would not go with Silverback. On these stride bikes the rims and hubs are problematic. I haven't heard a lot had good things from the service of Silverback in the last 2/3 years. Merida has a max rider weight of 135KG. Not sure if that includes the bike or not. So between the two you mentioned I would choose the merida. Their service is good and the build quality is decent for the price. I would have to do some research on what other bikes has a weight rating in your range.
