Velduro HO confirmed by email that some frames had 203mm posts and offered to provide a 203mm disk and new pads for those affected. Dear Velduro Rogue Frameset Customer, We have recently been made aware of an issue regarding the rear brake post mounts on some of the Rogue frame sets...

Mine is a very early XL - 203mm post mounts. No option for 200mm disks.

124 links - shifts great. Not sure how saving a few grammes on a direct mount chainring on a 24kg bike makes sense? I went from an alloy Lekkie 34t direct mount to a Praxis 104bcd steel 36t and really didnt notice the weight increae ;)

Guess Ill just wait for the MG - there is some suggestion it may use the same mounts - can't see how, but we should know by this time next year. Still pretty (very) happy with my M1 TBH.

Standard. I just did the same - now have 3 black and one silver ;)

32T chain ring is probably too small. Standard is 34 and 36 works well for me. Still rarely use the larger rear cogs. Alloy will also wear really fast - this bike has a lot of power.

I run a 210 dropper on my XL. Very rarely run it fully up or down. Not sure a 240 would "better" but I guess I would then have the choice.

No bashguard. Dont ride too many rocks and the steel chainring will deal with anything else ;)

Local DH with a parallel and similar uphill. Both 1.53k. 3:43 down, 4:10 up.

No - none that I can see. Local Velduro dealer says he fits them to most bikes he assembles.

1st ride with the Praxis 36t chainring. Seemed a lot quieter - at times the idler gear noise seemed non existent, at other times it was there but only just. Did 2 PBs on Strava but couldnt say these were due to the chainring - more likely that the trails were damp and therefore grippier.

550lb spring seems perfect for my 100kg weight on a DVO Jade X Prime.

Ill let you know in a week or so ;)

Fix from Velduro was to use some 3M UHB tape - looked a bit rough and not really that great on a near $20k bike....

Watching a couple of videos of my rides, its surprising how much bike noise there is - but I dont really notice it during the ride. I can hear the freewheel while riding, the occasional brake squeal, and the rebound 'swish' of the DVO fork, but other than a bit of motor 'whir' the Velduro bits...
