Craigwt Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 And? AND? AND?!!!!!!? I had no problems while climbing, gear ratio felt disgustingly easy after taking the reign up contermans for the last few weeks, I did half the climb in the big ring . The trance is much quicker than the reign, accelerates like crazy. I cant really comment on the descending just yet, it was quite a lot change, and I was interrupted... What I did notice:Need to cut the 785mm bars down (didn't have time)2.25 Hans Dampfs on narrow rims are going to take some getting used to. (flow ex's for xmas? )The CTD rear shock works WAY better than the previous one I had. The fork doesn't feel great. It may be setup related but it feels a little like the previous fox 32 I had on my trance, you either have excessive diving when braking or pedalling hard out the saddle, or you pump it up and bit and never use the last 25-30% of travel. The lyrics LS comp on full would keep the fork rock solid when braking, pedalling, in berms etc, but utilise all travel on a big hit. Ok, now on to the embarrassing part. I hit the first jump of the day and my rear brake pads come flying past me in to the bushes... enough said

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Yeah. That CTD system is kaaaaaaaak! They should have stuck with propedal. It's a well known problem in the Fox line up, one that they were supposed to fox but clearly haven't And the rear would probably have been a function of the type of shock that was on there. The rp 23 has a much firmer lockout / propedal platform than the vivid does. The vivid is a really burly ass shock not really designed with much pedalling efficiency in mind AFAIK.
