Hello,
I don't like much the Yari on my 9.7 Rail and I am going to order a ZEB Ultimate in the next few days. I am not sure if I should get a 160 or 170mm. I have read all the threads on the forum and I would tend to the 170mm but my main concern is having the bike too slack. I already have...
the bar height doesn’t change the angle of the bike at all. Removing spacers under the bar just affect your riding position relative to the bike, it doesn’t affect your bike geometry at all. Having à longer fork affects the geometry, it highers BB and lowers head angle. Well I already explained..
Yours could be different best way to check is to look on the side
ok cool let us know if it makes a difference.
I wanted to put the ZEB but I am afraid about the fact it’s 8mm longer on top of the added travel. I might go with Fox 38 for that reason but it’s quite a bit more expensive where I...
it does. Adding a ZEB 170mm raises your front end 18mm (10mm travel and the Zeb is also taller). What it does is it slackens your bike and can make it worst for climbing. Did you do any steep climb with it without the front end feeling too light / lifting?
The problem is not the bb, But the bike will be way slacker than stock even with the Mino in high. Also, the 2021 comes with Zeb 170 but they changed other specs too because the slack angle is the exact same as the 2020 with Yari 160mm.
As I explained going with the Zeb 170mm would be equivalent...
Be careful with the Zeb. Not only 170mm makes the bike already slacker (which you can counter with the Mino Link) but the Zeb 170mm is also 8mm taller than a 170mm Lyric giving you again more slack per this site: RockShox Zeb: first ride on 38mm stanchion 160-190mm suspension fork - MBR

What’s the mounting difference between a 7 and 9.7?
I still don’t understand what mounting hardware I need to get for a 9.7 XL.
Also if anybody can confirm a 230x62.5mm DHX2 will fit that would be great.
My biggest problem is how harsh the fork is on small fast bumps. The chatter that go in my arms is huge even though I have a carbon bar. I have also tried the Levo and a Moustache and didn’t have these issues even with basic suspensions (fox rhythm on the moustache I think).
It seems that adding 10mm of fork travel change the slack angle 0.5 degrees. So does that mean that running 160mm front + low position for the mino link is the same geometry as running 170mm with high position?
I am debating between a Fox Factory 36 160 or a 38 170. I am unhappy with the Yari...
I fully unmounted the rear Super Deluxe and adjusted tokens and bands and it’s better now. However I checked and the front stock Yari has the stock tokens, and I couldn’t remove it. I tried a bit lower PSI but it’s still not plush. Maybe the Yari just sucks and I am used to a better fork from my...
Hi Everybody!
Thanks to the many feedbacks from people on the forum I decided to look for a Rail and I just got a used one in like new condition. I did a 11 mile trail today and the bike is fantastic except for one issue. Suspensions are SUPER stiff. I almost feel like I have no suspensions at...
