I talked to a suspension shop and they can take a fox dhx2 (8.5x2.5) and use spacers to reduce eye to eye to 210mm and can update stroke As follows: No spacer - 63.5mm stroke and 161.6mm rear wheel travel One 2.5mm spacer - 61mm stroke and 155mm rear wheel travel Two 2.5mm spacers - 58.5mm...

jimsantos, thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! I have the same exact bike (XL Frame), I weigh the same as you, I ride similar terrain in SoCal, did a 203mm rotor on the front, put heavier duty 2.4 / 2.5 tires on, installed a oneUp 210mm dropper, kept the stock 50mm stem...

Curious if you ever tried out the 29'r with 160mm of travel. If so, how did it work out? Would be great to have 150mm-160mm of travel out back of the Rise.

Have an Orbea Rise and decided to join to stay up to date on the latest. Had a YT Decoy before. Thanks!
