thebob Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 What Eddy said, cycle it around 30% of travel 20 times every 50 PSI. If that doesn't work it needs some professional attention
MORNE Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) just an opinion and i have no clue about the spec of the frame (i have meanwhile educated myself- see below)...but from the pics it looks like the headset can be flipped in either or direction to adjust reach? if so....i'd flip it around and make the bike longer ...it will be more-betterer and wont look so odd either...also...if you are aiming to get the bars at seat hight that means you might get away with one less spacer under the stem as well if it is the longer guise. just an opinion nice bike though edit:see pic...red vs green line. looks like you have it set in position red at the moment.

Pieter1 Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks Morne. I have it set up according to the recommendations from GG for my riding style. On the site you’ll find this at size configurator. I’ll play around and see what fit I like best. Same story with the hight of the bars. MORNE 1

Matchstix Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I'm guessing he doesn't want the 'above the stem' spacers. There are some who would suggest that having anything more than a 5mm spacer above the stem is a bigger cycling No No than wearing secret socks AND using a camelback while having a saddle bag at a road race............Why are you shaming me?

"GeoAdjust Headset - allowing you to quickly adjust your frame's reach and wheelbase by 10 mm" Yes but adding reach will steepen the head angle wouldn't it ?
BaGearA Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 No , it wouldn't sorry I see how it works now
Pieter1 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 So been just over or under a month now. Loving this bike so much. I’ve done some longish rides and I feel really comfortable. Riding stairs and drops is really fun, Kuwait has not got any other real gravity on offer, there is Mutla ridge but it is a mission to get to for me so I have not really put the bike through it’s paces. But my skills have improved quite quickly, maybe it is new bike stoke or something but I can finally bunnyhop properly and I’m damn close to staying in a manual for a bit. The steering is snappy and on point and the bike just runs so quietly, I wish my hubs were silent. I would buy the same bike again and again. Going to do these rides, sure it is not what it is meant for but I’m sure I will be fine. Eddy Gordo 1
Eddy Gordo Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 Now you know what I have been on about. Cant wait until you hit a proper trail man. Maybe do a weekend trip to Turkey if you really have an urge. I think its nearest to you.https://www.google.com/search?q=mtb+trails+turkey&rlz=1C2CHZL_enZA849ZA849&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiF--7YovbnAhWQ2hQKHesxDlAQ_AUoAnoECAwQBA&biw=1280&bih=616 https://www.singletracks.com/mountain-bike/best_trails.php?new_state_id=473 Pieter1 1

Our school has closed for two weeks so we are coming home for a bit. Will phone the airline and see if I can take my bike.Edit: The bike is not coming Edited February 29, 2020 by Pieter1 Eddy Gordo and Hairy 2
