I moved to a 160mm front fork from day 1 and don't know any different so I can't tell you how different it feels to 150 but I can say I have no complaints about 160 - very little con to 160, apart from maybe a taller stack and more wandering on the front on climbs requiring less rise on the...

Super nice, especially managing to get SRAM T type transmission on it. Can I ask how you managed the chainring? are you using the 104 BCD spider with a SRAM chainring?

There's a whole thread devoted to 9.5 modifications: Fuel EXe - Trek Fuel EXe 9.5 Build I agree with your list of what is "not junk" on the stock 9.5 apart from perhaps the seatpost - have heard from my Trek LBS that while functional, they are a bit of a ticking time bomb as to when they...

Nice! Well even at 20% off the e-thirteens Helix cranks are still about $100 Australian dollars cheaper. Its all moot of course as I've already got the e-thirteens, just haven't installed them yet. I'll keep the FORX in mind if it doesn't work out with e-thirteen (y) The 5Dev cranks are also...

Yes, I hear good things about the Forx cranks... the e-thirteen helix cranks however are just as short at 155 and seem to be cheaper!

Nice one. I've also had success with this on my EX-e: Full Face Fender, Black By the way, how is the new e-thirteen Helix crank going? Is the q factor wider than the stock e-thirteen alloy crank? I bought a 155mm one in an effort to stop pedal strikes now that I have mulleted my Ex-e but I...

I used the full tailored ridewrap for our ex-e's in satin finish - seemed to work best with the 9.5 dinister black. https://www.ridewrap.com/au/en/?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3_uL_vW1gQMVXSSDAx2w0AxsEAAYASAAEgKihPD_BwE

Assuming when you say you want to convert to a "full" 27.5, you mean that you already have mullet'ed it (ie put a 27.5 wheel at the back) and now you want to put a 27.5 wheel in the front AND back - I would say you would an absolutely unride-ably low bottom bracket and have massive pedal strike...

Yeah heard good things about the Marzochi air, simple and robust. I managed to pick up my Super Deluxe from a chap who upgraded his Specialized Enduro and from one ride without the MegNeg it already seemed more supportive and supple than the stock shock. We will see what the Megneg does. And...

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes major pedal strike issue on my mullet’d 9.5 as well. I’m hoping the super deluxe with megneg will help and give me a bit more mid strike support but I may have to switch to 155mm cranks - I don’t think the Era comes in 155. I love reading about the Push...

Thankyou - yours looks spectacular. Particularly the Push suspension you have installed/will install. I'd be interested in a review / impression of them once you've had them dialed in.

Amen brother! Fellow back o' the queue member as well! Your build looks great. the wheels and front fork on our 9.5's are trash so like almost everyone on this thread, they were the first to go. Brakes and likely dropper post next items due for replacement! I put on some Code RSCs and I've...

Hey mate, I didn't realise you were based in Perth as well. Yep, Kalamunda Camel farm / Pickering Brook trails normally for me although I haven't been able to get out very much this winter as work/family commitments keep me grounded unfortunately. When I'm able to get out, I find that the EX-e...

Yes, although I find the K-edge versions are overpriced and don't have the higher "kink" which allows you to fit them above a positive rise stem.

Yes, it looks clean. Nukeproof make it... I purchased it from Chain Reaction Cycles: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/nukeproof-horizon-over-stem-garmin-mount?color=blue&sizeStandard=One+Size
