Ernst Kromhout Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Yeah its great but cleaning the shock and the frame where the shock mounts are will be a pain ChrisF 1

The shock is completely enclosed so cleaning the frame will be pretty easy. No mud etc should be getting into the shock compartment. Simple wipe the frame while running the hose... voila

DieselnDust Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 11 hours ago, FrancoisdeVille said: So the shock position is closed in front with a removable cover, but open in the back (correct me if Im wrong). How much mud and dirt is going to get stuck there with no place to fall out of and ad to the weight of the bike? Its in the Seat Tube and closed off completely. To remove the shock you remove the access hatch at the bottom of the downtube, deflate the shock, lift the rear sus swing arm so that the top bolt aligns with the seatube access hatch and undo the bolts. The head of the shock is trunnion mount so the bolts are external so just undo those and the shock drops out. More especially I mean this bike has kept the winning vertical shock 11 hours ago, Baron said: Wrong, shock is completely closed in the downtube. seat tube dude NickGM 1
JCA12 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Interesting looking at the specs it seems that both the RC and the normal Spark come with angle adjust headsets of +-0.6 degrees which is quite cool DieselnDust 1

SRAM is backlogged for months they should just stop making them altogether haha...or maybe buy out a company that actually knows how to make brakes☺️ BrentCGP, DieselnDust, ivan888 and 3 others 6

Don't think the bike mechanics will love it so much but tough cookie ???? No, they will LOVE it. They'll get to tell you that a shock service will now cost 4x as much due to the perceived increase in difficulty to access it lol. Skoffel and Me rida my bicycle 2
Mawbs Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 i see you only start getting dropper post on RC from PRO model upwards
