How much stanchion should be exposed on a Fox 38 180mm travel fork? I measured my Fox 38 exposed stanchion length at exactly 180mm which doesn't sound right, as I'd heard it should be longer... maybe 185mm - 190mm for a 180mm travel fork?

Where's the Norco Range VLT thread? Anyhow, I mulleted mine. Loving the Manitou Mezzer Pro, and 220mm rotors...

So does this mean a 215mm eye to eye shock will fit? Or is that too long?

Does the stock 27.5 front fork work with a 29" wheel/tire? What would be the widest 29 tire that would fit? Also another question... is a 15x110mm QR hub different from a 15x110mm Thru-Axle hub? I tried fitting a Specialized Levo front wheel onto my Giant and it seems the hub is...

I can't connect to my bike after the update on IOS... When I connect, I get "CONTACT DEALER" and hitting "OK" just closes the app. Tried a bunch of times, including remove bike from app and re-searching. Once it connects, "CONTACT DEALER"...and closes. Anyone experience this? Thank you! Sam

A local youtuber posted his ride and impressions.

For me its a trade-off. I can't manual this bike yet and it does feel sluggish through turns, but I enjoy the plush ride and straight line stability that the longer CS and Longer wheelbase provides. An ideal eBike would be one where CS and even head-tube angle are adjustable. On-the-fly...

Did you change out the stock spring? What did you go with?

Thanks everyone, I ordered an inexpensive 35mm riser bar with 31.8mm clamp and cheap short stem 35mm long to see if that helps with both the low bars and heavy front. At least I know manual is doable somehow. ?

I have not... but I've only had the bike like 2 weeks LOL. Do you charge on the bike or take out the battery and charge it by itself? I usually charge the battery by itself off the bike...

I have been trying but cannot get the front-end up high enough to manual. Are others able to manual this bike?
