Raine's "Super Nice" 2018 Meta Power 29

[raine]

Here's my 2018 Commencal Meta Power 29, I've only had it for a couple months but I've made a lot of changes/mods including a 160mm fork travel upgrade, E-6000 slim switch, custom carbon fiber motor covers, components from Ergon / Deity / Continental / e*Thirteen / HT / Race Face / OneUp / Wolftooth, lots of titanium hardware, and more. Pretty proud that she got a "Super Nice!" from the crew at EMBN (in the "Bike Vault" segment, May 29, 2019 episode #74).

EDIT: I'll add more pics in this thread for the benefit of everyone in this forum =)

How come you swapped the dropper?

How come you swapped the dropper?

Because I've gone through 3 KS LEV's over the last 4 years. Like clockwork all 3 developed some twist and all 3 started slipping down about 10-15mm after about a year of use. Also, to service one of my old KS LEVs I had to ship it to them, pay $95 + shipping costs, and then wait 2 weeks before I got it back.

I've had this OneUp dropper for a year now (swapped it over from my other bike) and it's still as good as new with no play, no sag, and no twist. And when it's time for service it's $80 for a new cartridge and the OneUp was designed to be end-user serviceable.

Technically... you can't

I have a close friend who works at JPL, she took my stock motor covers to their workshop and the guys there whipped up the one-off covers for me

Is that THE JPL ? If so you should see what they can do for your motor ?

Yea and no.

If by "THE JPL" you mean the one in La Canada Flintridge, then yes...
...and no, because I'm sure they could easily void my Shimano warranty haha

 

[tedturbine]

That's the one. Covers look ace by the way.
