I was referring to the DT Swiss hub having 24 points of engagement with its pawl system. This creates a dead zone between the points of engagement in the hub allowing for 15 degrees of rotation before engaging the pawls and can create a clunky feeling, especially in technical climbing terrain...
Still running the stock shock. I find I can tune it satisfactorily so I’m in no rush to upgrade. I pretty much always run it in the medium LSC setting and use either the largest or 2nd to the largest volume spacer. This works well with the more linear, steeper ride nine settings that I use.

Aged 30. Have ridden mostly BMX for the past 20+ years. On/off MTB for about 10 years. Emtb just this season. Fulfills the fantasy of MTB for me where it is all fun instead of just the 10% where you’re headed downhill.
I have the Riddance Mids and am not a fan. They aren’t particularly grippy, certainly nothing like a five ten. They are quite stiff providing limited pedal feel and lastly are a bit heavy. I just bought Five Ten Freerider Pros yesterday and they are a lot better in all regards, though there is...
In short: none of them.
I agonized over my emtb purchase for months before deciding on the Rocky Mountain Altitude earlier this year. I originally ordered the YT Decoy but later cancelled my purchase.
I bought the bike before a lot of the 2020s were released and was a bit apprehensive that...
Interesting. I focused on the reach measurements (among other geo aspects) of the bikes I was looking at and thought the large RM was actually slightly longer than the large Levo. Does that not transfer to the smaller sizes?
Great write up and contribution! I would imagine the differences extend beyond wheel size. The RM has an inch shorter rear end which I would posit is the most significant factor for the difference in handling that you feel.
The only true complaint I have with my RM at this point is that I find...
Rocky Mountain Altitude Review
Hi all, I just thought I should share my impressions after owning a Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay A70 for several weeks now. I know I scoured the internet for all the info I could get on it prior to purchasing so I thought I should contribute for others’...
Do you suspect the LSS -2019 DT/TL would fit other DT Swiss hubs and Sram rotors? I would like to try to make one work on a Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay with the DT Swiss 370 hub.
