Upgraded to 65mm stroke on the rear recently. All cushty until today when the derailleur snapped (Deore). Wondering if I needed to lengthen the chain when increasing rear travel? Anyone else done this?

Any suggestions for a rear shock upgrade? Would like something with HSC and LSC damping if possible. Preferably anything discounted😁

That's a very good point and might be the easiest answer!👏

Have now burned through a Maxxis DHR and DHF (the stickier of the two). Been running 2.6 front 2.5 rear as I was sharing the wheels with my hardtail. Thinking of a 2.4 now having read posts on here. But I fancy a more trail style tyre now that isn't so draggy. Not xc or anything but something...

I seem to have worn my chain after 900km, according to my chain checker. Looking at a cheap discounted xt 12 speee replacement. Can't be bothered counting the links, does anyone know how many there are on the stock chain? TIA

Thanks. They look real nice but cost more than I wanted to spend. I'm finding that I have to really pump the brakes hard to get them to stop me sometimes. Does adding alternative levers help with power here? Wondering if I'm wasting money on levers when I should just save instead for some...

Interested in changing brake levers on the TRP Slate Evos that came with my bike. Can anyone point me to a 'how to' the help me do this? I see SLX levers seem popular. Thanks.

Wow. Literally the same paint job as the Mondraker Dune😅

Would be happy with a more energy dense range extender that could be used with the current system

Crumbs. 9.5 coming in a few days. 1st eeb, hoping it's not a disaster!

Some great deals about right now on SL ebikes. Trek, some Mondraker, even Whyte beginning to discount the E Lyte. Is it time to buy or is there further gold down the road? News reports around yesterday that the bike industry is still in the toilet, so maybe better deals later? Still have my...

Thanks. Silly me, just saw the frame size, need a medium.

What does this build weigh? I assume you have receipts etc to help with any warranty issues on the different kit?

Not an uphill crash per se but I was trying a demo emtb when I got off line on a run and had to stop to avoid a massive stump. Motor overrun then launched me into it when I let go of the brakes and I folded over the bars. Overrun overrated in my view😅

Lots of detail there, thank you for sharing. Some say the bb is quite high which makes the handling good in chunky stuff but sub optimal on flow trails. Is that well founded?
