It will feel wooden after riding s coil for a week. I also got me a coil a few weeks ago. fox DHX. I Up/downgraded from a Fox Factory X2 (how ever you want to look at it lol). And i can honestly say it transformed my bike for the way I ride it. i really feel that for larger folk (90kg+), having to run an airshock at its upper limits ito psi doesnt make for nice riding bikes in the rear at least. My X2 on my bike just always felt too progressive, pogo’ey. Im not too sendy…and just plow through things most of the time due to lack if skill ☺️. The coil literally just deletes rocks from the trail. Magic carpet ride…🎶a whole new world!🎶 Haha im lucky my frame geo with the single pivot means it climbs pretty good with almost no bob even without locking the shock out, but even if it did…the extra half kilo it adds is totally worth it. Since it went on an enduro bike i just paired it with a 30T chainring too. Not like you ever use 30/10T going down a trail.

Me rida my bicycle Posted August 4, 2023 Share I got the adult version of Lego 🤣 To think this all started because I had to many tyres 🤣 Been hiding parts all over the house till I had everything 🤞🏻 Zebra, M L, dasilvarsa and 13 others 9 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted August 6, 2023 Share Well she came out better than expected. There's just something about a raw frame especially in the sun light ☀ 👌🏻 Surprises : the DebonAir spring feels so much better than older Rockshox, nice plush feeling without just running through all the travel 👌🏻 The budget friendly Deore shifts as good as the much more expensive XT. 👍🏻 All and all quite happy now for the next project 🤣😂 TyronLab, Boktiet82, Prince Albert Cycles and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garage tends to get s bit humid with the dryer in there and all this rain. Next thing I knew the stem grew some bars, levers and a frame. I came back the next week and it had grown wheels and a groupset too. I have a fully grown Banshee now, kind of annoying i know 🤷🏻♂️ ChrisF, Red Bird, Scary Rider and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no choice but to put it together so I don't lose any small bits 😄 MORNE , Mtree, Red Bird and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclayford Posted August 7, 2023 Share Finally finished my 2018 Santa Cruz Chameleon build on Saturday So stoked on how well it turned out. Decided to go the 27.5+ route.

So far the bike feels amazing Why Those Tyres in Particular ? Maybe I can Learn Something Here. I had Ardents on my Merida Big 9 300 Hardtail and it Was Pig Slow. Put In the Original Ikons that came with it and it made a big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing here, but that bike doesn't strike me as caring about going fast. It looks more like it wants to do a full frontal assault on as much tech as it can gobble up during a ride. To me resembles the kind of bike that wants to get rowdy, party bike style. Mtree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
