    How to check total mileage on a Shimano Display

    I’m assuming you can check the total mileage on a Shimano display? A quick how-to would be appreciated. Looking to sell my 19’ Decoy

    Any chance a coil shock will work?

    Yeah I bet you’re right. It didn’t even say the year. It was on sale last December. I didn’t even know 11/6 made one for e-bike now. That’s awesome though. I’m assuming for any coil on an e-bike you need to run a higher Spring weight then normal? I’m having trouble narrowing that down right now.

    Any chance a coil shock will work?

    Yeah I agree. I was just about to purchase an 11/6 when I found it for sale for $780 as opposed to the normal $1200. Not sure why it was on sale b/c they never are at ProBikeSupply. But anyway, I too was worried I wouldn’t have a clue what high v low end feels never using a coil. I just bought a...

    Direct purchase any regrets?

    Yeah I honestly thought I’d like the steeper seat angle b/c I have a jacked up back. And your right, it feels perfect on descents, when I don’t even notice the cramped feel. I think I got so used to and developed bad habits on my other ebike which has a 72.5 STA, 180m F/R. I can ride with the...

    Any chance a coil shock will work?

    Ok I cut myself off. Anyway, on the TF tuned website, the spring calculator is asking for the wheel travel on the Decoy. Anyone happen to know number. Thx!

    Any chance a coil shock will work?

    Yeah I’m still fairly new to this forum. I get message in my box and assume it’s for me lol. I was wondering why you mentioned Finland. I found a couple in the states where you can ship it too, but seems TF Tuned/Vorsprung seem to get mentioned constantly so I’d

    Direct purchase any regrets?

    I wasn’t really paying attention to the date. And regardless, if someone else comes across it I was just throwing out my experience. I’m guessing that’s part of why you also responded to a 10 months old post as well? Oh and I was being rhetorical about them exchanging my bike.. I know on the...

    I’m assuming they ship worldwide? But I’ll definitely look into it. Thx!

    Trek rail fork upgrades / extra thick crown

    I would definitely consider doing a mullet set up. That is the Decoy’s saving grace for me anyway. Definitely update when you do. I may even have a Rail by then. Good luck!

    Direct purchase any regrets?

    Definitely look at the geo numbers and know your size. It was recommended I buy a size Large Decoy and based on that I’m now considering selling it. I thought it was me that needed to adjust to the bike. But I’ve never ridden a bike where my knees and wrist immediately hurt. I don’t know why YT...

    Any chance a coil shock will work?

    Damn that’s probably one of the best looking Decoy’s I’ve every seen! The coil really does look right at home on it.

    Trek rail fork upgrades / extra thick crown

    Yes!! That’s exactly what I was trying to spit out in my long post about the way it feels lol. I actually planned on getting a medium, but was told by YT that it would be way too small for me. After getting the large I assumed a medium would be even worse. I have never ridden a bike that’s...

    Trek rail fork upgrades / extra thick crown

    I live in the states and can’t even find one within a reasonable distance. I can order one online, but made that mistake with the Decoy. But that does help knowing the size/height. I’m guessing I’ll need at least a large. Thanks again for the info!

    Trek rail fork upgrades / extra thick crown

    That’s definitely good to hear! I was getting worried this bike was not worth the price tag. The geometry is a big factor for me. I’m a bit lost on some of Treks sizes. I’m seeing M/L on some bikes, but not the rail? I’m about 5’9-5’10, and go between medium and large. The Decoy is a great...
