This chart is from the Specrtre listing, different than other 181 listings but seems the most spot on from what I use and read others ending up with:
Yeah it’s the chart troydon also sent me to go off. But your posting here is likely more spot on for those interested. Maybe troydon would be interested in seeing those numbers vs what the chart has to change it up.
Outward facing hex might be spinning on the T25, which is fine if the two halves hold together. Step 7 onward might explain things.

Beautiful ride. Best of luck with it.
That's a good point. I had my initial ride yesterday, mainly to dial in the suspension and make adjustments to my saddle and brake levers. I didn't encounter any issues, but didn't hit a lot of features. I will definitely pay attention and see if needs more slack. I have a little extra cable on the brake lever end if I need to adjust and have an extra brake cable just in case. Appreciate the information!
Damn, I probably should have bought a 500 or 525 instead of 550…getting a Slacker (hope it is worth the money).
The thing that measures sag?
Yes, it's a pretty cool device. Can measure fork and rear shock travel in mm's and percentage.
So, I put a zip tie on the end of the cable and ran my bike through it's complete rear travel and no issues with brake hose being stressed. Looks like it stays in place as rear end goes up and down.
Yes…waiting for it and my bike too…it is almost done…hope to ride it this weekend.
As a former car audio installer, I have pulled a lot of wire through tight firewall grommets. If you can’t hook the fish line and the cable together; you’ll need to tape them together for a distance (~6”?) after making sure they both are clean. You dont want the tape losing hold. I suggest electrical tape, stretched tightly. I’d also suggest adding a lubricant to the outside so it slips past corners and tight spots. Many use silicone spray, but I always liked using hand moisturizer since cleanup was better. Good luck.
+1 this works for me too. I tried different things and it took my whole night…. The routing def needs an improvement!
May have to try using some sort of lubricant to help it move along, we tried using shipping and electrical tape but would keep pulling apart when trying to pull it through, so maybe not enough tape. Going to try using some twine tomorrow and tying a knot on the power cable so I can pull on it decently hard without it breaking apart. This cable routing is such a nightmare for how short it has to go!
Think I’m gonna throw in the towel and give up on auto shift, going to give it one last attempt and then I’m done. Even with electrical tape and heat shrink tubing, I have to pull on it so hard that it just breaks away before pulling through. Even my LBS mechanic is at a loss for words at how bad the cable routing is, even tried putting slick honey ontop of the electrical tape and heat shrink tubing and it’s still getting horribly jammed up in the last chainstay bend
Can you do that? Not sure if it will route cleanly to the motor given how it has to be plugged in. Just hope I didn’t damage it too much trying to pull it through
Nice score! I like how Crestline reserves some bike for brick and mortar stores. I got my S180 from Worldwide as well. Drove all the way from San Diego to Newbury Park. Scored my RS181.2 from Fanatik.Everyone - I'm so excited!!
I got lucky enough to score an RH2 Team Shop Edition 181.2 through Worldwide Cyclery. I couldn't believe they had it in stock and pulled the trigger without even thinking twice.
It Showed up Friday.
Took it out for its inaugural run today on some fun enduro singletrack near me, and… my god. This bike RIPS. It's somehow agile AND plush at the same time, which I'm pretty sure violates some law of physics. I kept giggling on the trail like an idiot.
Here's the problem: it's now sitting in my garage and I can't stop staring at it. I've walked past it maybe fifteen times today for no reason. My spouse thinks I've lost it. I've considered pulling up a chair. This is genuinely my dream bike and I've never been this happy about a purchase in my life.
So, Troydon in case you're reading - THANK YOU — you've built an absolute weapon. I'm a Crestline fan for life

I've used previous model Zeb's and new model is a marked improvement. Try running less psi than recommended and open up the ABO a couple clicks. I did this on my new Zeb and it worked better. I would set sag with HSC and LSC fully open, then adjust back to neutral settings making small incremental changes.
