BaGearA Posted January 30 Posted January 30 55 minutes ago, Robbie Stewart said: That makes sense. I think I'm a victim of marketing schpieel because as I think about it, my 36 Rhythm isn't bad and I'm a big chap. It really takes the knocks I throw it's way in stride and makes my rides feel super fun. I haven't managed to bottom it out as yet. Can't say the same for the Float X though. I've had my issues with airshocks and never really settled in , my all time favourite was a float x tho 🤣 Invest in having the shock tuned for your weight and style during the next rebuild , will be far less than 10k and likely provide more value than you think Robbie Stewart 1

Objectively and widely considered one of the worst abominations to ever come out of the fox factory. There are 3 types of X2 owners: - ones that have blown theirs in 5 rides and are on their 3rd warranty replacement, - ones that have a working X2 but live off social grants due to maintenance costs, and then ones that are Jon Snow…. 😅 Edited January 30 by MORNE

Seriously I had one in 2018 and the performance was mind-blowing.....back then. X2 is built for one very specific reason and it does that very well ....but not for us laymen's The whole thing fox went through is a big blemish but it was properly sorted.
ewep Posted January 31 Posted January 31 It is here! Crank based power meter. It is not like the spider based power, so no left/right balance, but I don't care. Now the torque wrench just needs to arrive then I can install! Riaan H, SilverRider and Boktiet82 3

Place arms of sunnies over helmet straps. There is also an aerodynamic advantage to not having straps flap in the wind. 2. Neatly tuck in the strap under your chin for a smoove look out there. 3. Either totally unzip your jersey when your radiator needs more air intake and look like you worked very hard out there or keep it zipped right to the top. Eksê keep on going.
