So, I put a zip tie on the end of the cable and ran my bike through it's complete rear travel and no issues with brake hose being stressed. Looks like it stays in place as rear end goes up and down.

Yes, it's a pretty cool device. Can measure fork and rear shock travel in mm's and percentage.

That's a good point. I had my initial ride yesterday, mainly to dial in the suspension and make adjustments to my saddle and brake levers. I didn't encounter any issues, but didn't hit a lot of features. I will definitely pay attention and see if needs more slack. I have a little extra cable on...

Finally finished installing upgrades on my new Crestline! It's truly an International Speed Shop Team Edition with components from all over the world. Here's the complete spec list: Frame and Suspension Components • Frame: Crestline RS181.2 Size RH3 • Frame Material: Carbon • Wheel Size...

Not sure if the resolution on the pics shows what you are asking? I am just wrapping up my custom install and upgraded SRAM XO cranks that came stock on my Team Build with Pinnd 155mm cranks and they fit perfect! I can try taking additional pics when I finish installing components.

It took me a little longer than usual to dial in my 2027 Zeb versus the previous model. Running much higher psi in new model. I ended up buying the Slacker to adjust my sag on fork and shock, doing so with compression fully open and cycling through the travel in 25psi increments. Was able to...

#17 has arrived! Will post full specs and pics once I complete the custom install.

So, I was lucky enough to ride Whistler and Squamish last week and needed to rent bikes since it wasn't practical to ship my bike from the US to Canada taking into consideration battery shipping restrictions. Rented an Amish bike at Whistler like I do each year and it's the only time I ride...

That's the strategy I'm taking. Will ride my M2S powered bikes for next ~2 years while they work the kinks out.

I believe @jbodnar was referring to Crestline's Forged Series frame only option they sold a limited quantity of 50 frames.

Been running Shirgura brakes (MT7 Calipers/Saint Levers) for over 7 years and the MT7 Calipers don't play nice unless you use the Royal Blood mineral oil.

That blows man! Think they would have stepped up. Hope you get to ride this weekend.

Has anyone with the Speed Shop Team Edition removed the One Up Dropper? I plan on swapping it for a SRAM AXS Wireless Dropper and wondering if I have to drop the motor to allow the wire to be pulled from seat tube?

Just got my tracking info on Speed Shop Team Edition! Will assemble and set-up after I return from holiday trip to Whistler and Squamish. What a nice little something to have waiting for me😉

I was very intrigued to see how these 2 bikes rated since they are the 2 I debated purchasing to compliment my soon to arrive Crestline RS181.2. Fortunately both were available but sadly I could only ride them for short rides on city streets and couldn't see how they handled on the trails...
