Hi Guys Anyone know the rider height recommendations for the STF/R? Would someone 196cm tall fit on the large frame? Thanks

howzit chaps Looking for some advice from the suspension gurus on this group. I bought a second hand 120mm Reba for my stf. In order to get 25% sag i am pumping it to 40psi. Seems very low as the gauge on the side says I should be at 120psi. I seem to be using most of the travel without bottoming out unless taking a huge knock. However when riding a steeper trail the fork is almost fully compressed. Is this low pressure normal or might there be something wrong with the fork? Would some bottomless tokens perhaps be the solution (currently has none)?

Hi Guys Just looking for some info on this frame I recently purchased. Any idea of its age, value etc? Its been built up with very basic parts for now. Going to use it as a commuter for now. Might look at converting it into a groad bike in the future. Would it be any good for that? Thanks

So ive completed my build for now. Most of the parts came off my BMC FS02 frame. I decided to go with a bike more suited to the riding I do. I live on the Cascades forest in PMB so its steep climbs followed by awesome trails down. The BMC was just to sharp on the geometry. Great going up but just no fun going down. I went with the STF so there are less parts to adjust or wear. Hopefully it will last many years of abuse. The build consists of a Reba 120mm boost, currently has SLX brakes soon to be upgraded to XT with 180mm rotors, WTB Frequency wheels, Sram X1 with an 11-46 XT cassette and a Race Face Aeffect 32T crank. The tyres are 2.25 Maxxis Ardent and Crossmark 2 combo. The bars are the Lyne Amp 780mm. Upgrades for the future will include a 150mm dropper post and possibly a wider front rim with a 2.4 tyre. Maybe something a bit more aggresive too. I had to make an adapter for the current front hub to run it as boost so I will need to get a new hub too. I will have to save up some some more bucks first.

interested to know your decision? I’m also between a medium and a large. I’m 178 tall. Planning on building with a wide bar/ short stem.

Thanks guys. Definitely not going belt drive. Actually keen to keep it simple as possible. Only have the frame for now so its gonna be a long build process. Super excited and I will let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks guys And to throw a curve ball what about a rigid fork, drop bars and some long gears as a comfortable road/gravel bike?

Hi Hubbers I been looking at building up a 29er steely for the local trails. I have come across a Niner MCR9 frame. Want to know your opinions on this frame? Does anyone know if I can run a tapered fork? Whats the geometry like for trail riding/ climbing? Thanks

No its just a solo air. Might be due for a full service. I normally do the lowers myself. Maybe must replace the rest of the seals.

It is a 2014 model so should be similar to the 2013 Its a 2014 model so should be the same thing as a 2013. I will try release pressure. It actually does make sense. It bottomed out have the other day so maybe pushed some air through the seals.

Hi All Does anyone know how my RockShox Reba would be losing travel? It came with 100mm travel but now has 80mm. Even without any weight on it. The fork has been serviced every 6 months and is currently running 100psi. Would appreciate any advise on how to rectify the problem. Thanks

Hi All Does anyone know off hand if i can run a XT 11-46 cassette with a Sram X1 11 speed derailleur? Thanks

Hi Does anyone successfully run Fox remote lock out? My bike came with front and rear on one remote. I find I have to strip,clean, oil and resemble every third ride to keep them smooth. And I still find I have to bend down and assist them to release. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or maybe there is a trick I don't know about. Thanks
