Peach. Posted March 30, 2016 Share Gamut not stock blue bits? Looks good Peach. This one is only made red although I'm sure I could send it for anodizing if it really bugs you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 1, 2016 Share Yo Peach So how are you faring with your Spitty? Noticed you are running in the mid geo setting with the rear chips ... have you run it in low yet, and what are your feelings RE flipping them around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach. Posted August 1, 2016 Share Yo Peach So how are you faring with your Spitty? Noticed you are running in the mid geo setting with the rear chips ... have you run it in low yet, and what are your feelings RE flipping them around? Hey, I'm still Loving it, feeling really good at the moment.I'v never actually tried it on the slackest setting, we dont really have super steep stuff in SA so no real need for it. I'm keen to try it the next time I'm in KZN or CT, JHB is flat.I have tried it in the upper setting, so the steeper head angle. Bike definitely felt like it pedaled better and felt better on flat trails, it was very slightly less playful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 1, 2016 Share Shotto, the previous owner also ran his in the middle setting. ...... nothing to do but play with it I reckon. Have you ever considered putting the debonair can on? Peach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach. Posted August 1, 2016 Share Shotto, the previous owner also ran his in the middle setting. ...... nothing to do but play with it I reckon. Have you ever considered putting the debonair can on? Agreed, Try all 3 for yourself and see what works for you, its pretty easy and quick to change. I have the low volume can ramps up to quick, high volume can feels great.
