Recent pic in the local hills / So. Cal

Recent pic in the local hills of So.Cal (my enduro beast)

Have the same 2019 Trance 2 w/the Speedbox installed since new. No battery issues at this point. How wet has this battery gotten just out of curiosity? I dont ride in the wet, as i dont like the lack of water proving this bike has shown me.

Its a 2019 Trance 2. 160mm is certainly stretching it, but maybe its Ok? I certainly dont know that. Ive only heard the max is 20mm above the designed rake. Certainly not a downhill spec as the head angle is not really close to a downhill nor this the rear suspension potential anywhere near...

No doubt the 20mm added front end changes the geometry. Its more Enduro set now. Totally love both the rear & front Marzocci coil setup This pic was taken on Friday out in the hills

Sure, 20mm is the max upswing allowed on most frames from what ive been told. I too have gone from 150 to 170 & what a positive change. Went with the Marzocchi Z1 coil as im sure you can appreciate?

Nice job w/that wireless upgrade(y) Ive got a 2019 E-Trance & youre right about the derailleur cable rub on the lower swing arm. But for some reason these wireless derailleurs bother me in regards to another complexity i prefer not to change over to yet Cheers, Joe

Im on the 170mm Bomber front & 140mm rear. Love it! Super buttery off the top of the stroke.

That Norco looks like its got the old school straight 1 1/8" stem vs the tapered stem on the Giant. The swap would not work if that is the case!

Thanks for the update. Curious if that lip will fall into the spider chain ring hole? or will sit on top of the mounting hole?

One of my riding partners rides a 2017 Trance w/5000 miles (8046kms) on the OE motor (never changed & still going today) Ive only got 1500 miles (2414kms)

My 2019 Trance runs the FSA head set. See attached image which should help

That Spank 350 Rim has only a 30.5mm internal width. If it were me, id stick w/the wider 35mm internal width. Also, not a fan of the 29'r thing. Maybe its just the look of these super large wheels, but unlikely i will ever convert to them.

The Beast ,after a proper wash, taken this week

See attached image of our Praxis. Just taking a crack at your issue as your ring type may not need this level of detail Cheers, Joe
