AllAboutRides Posted November 18, 2021 Share Mirrag Hubbers! Enige van julle wat al 'n nuwe Spark het of gery het? Wil graag uit vind oor die suspensie agter, by LBS gehoor dat daar pivot issues is, so nou moet jy elke keer die shock aflblaas , oop maak onder die frame (glo die nuwe tegnologie) en dan pivot vas draai en dan weer shock opblaas? Klink na moeite en ek oorweeg dalk in toekoms een. Neem kennis ek is geen bike mechanic nie en het nog nooit kennis gehad oor die tipe goed nie so ek hoop ek verduidelik reg ???? Julle terugvoering oor die suspensie en general review van die spark sal nice wees. Dankie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted November 18, 2021 Share I’ll watch this one closely as I was thinking of dumping my scalpel princess for something less “touchy” Scott was one and Norco option B???????? AllAboutRides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sywurm Posted November 18, 2021 Share If I had the money, I don't think I would buy the new Scott Spark. I don't have any experience with the bike, but the access to the shock is my only concern. Probably not as bad as I think it is (this is my personal preference). Oh, and the looks. There is prettier bikes on the market.???????? AllAboutRides and Herschel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan gaan dit mos nie weer los draai nie? My Genius se pivot bolts moes na die eerste paar rides weer vasgetrek word. Die lbs het als afgehaal, grease en loctite opgesit waar nodig, en 'n jaar later het ek nog nie weer 'n bout moes vastrek nie.

Het ook nog nie die fiets nie, maar dit is goed om te weet en jou voorstel maak sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted November 18, 2021 Share If you dont have the same 150k you'll spend on the bike to give to your mechanic over the next two years then don't buy this bike. OP this doesn't relate to what you're asking but I would follow the manufacturer instructions to the dot on that bike DieselnDust and AllAboutRides 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebob Posted November 18, 2021 Share Getting access to the shock is a small pain if you want to remove it. Cranks must be removed, rear wheel as well. But it is so well protected in there it would only really be necessary when you want to do a shock service, change a volume spacer or if you submerge the bike and want to clean it off. As for adding or removing air, pop off the cover and the air valve is right there. Easy peasy. For me the more annoying issue is the limited dropper insertion. As for looks, go see one in the flesh, it looks like it's from 10 years in the future.

Dankie The issue was a lack of grease on one of the shock bolts and the shock bolt being under torqued from the factory with one of the runs of frames. All that has to happen is that the shop should remove that bolt, grease the shaft, put some loctite on the thread, and torque to spec. Only once… not every ride. It’s a 5min job for a shop.

But the biggest one is the hidden shock. It’s gimmicky at best, ugly and an unnecessarily complicated design - how that affects suspension performance I can’t say, but each design has its compromises. I suppose everyone needs something to distinguish their product and there’ll be plenty of folk that fall for this thinking it’s the future. That, and Scott is just a bit of an ou ballie brand.
