I count 122 links on my S2's chain.

hmmm I would expect best results at whatever sag you are running. I forget their suggestion, usually it's high around 35% the lower part of the travel has a lot of rearward growth, so being at 10 vs 35% could make a significant difference

I understand the frustration but to me it's just an unavoidable part of the design. T-Type 12 speed spacing is super tight, and adding a bunch of chainstay growth for the high pivot adds more complexity. in my experience, if the derailleur is setup at sag, then the shifting is good. to me...

I have not recently tested the eDread shifting in the stand, so I'm not sure ... but I wouldn't be surprised if the shifting in the stand was subpar. on the trail, weighted, it seems good. on my analog DreadV1, a couple years ago, I learned that rasping noises could be improved by setting the...

I also have a coil shock and I have done a satisfactory-enough job by using a yoga strap looped thru the rim and the back rails of the seat, and cinching that down while sitting on the bike. then tightening the derailleur. another time I was on a trip and didn't have the strap, and I managed to...

I was wondering the same thing, as I have been scoping the Supernought for a DH bike. I ended up purchasing one recently - I figure the SN is solid enough and I wanted a DH bike. but it does have slightly weird optics to publicize the (non)eDread test mule. then axle path is substantially...

did you set the derailleur b-position (I know it's TType and they don't call it that, but I forget what they call it) while sitting on the bike / at sag? I have found this to be an issue on every Forbidden I've owned - chain tension at sag is very different from in the stand. I don't even try...

perhaps y'all have seen the Laurie Greenland test mule video - I asked Cascade Components about their interest in making a custom link. I just got a DH38 for my DreadE and with 200mm up front, the 170mm rear travel seems mildly short. their reply: I'm local to them and offered to let them...

could you share the math behind the calculation? seems like a handy thing to know! also curious if you assumed a 1:1 gear ratio for this? part of my avoidance of hub-based PK devices is that the gear ratio causes the crank float to increase in big cogs and decrease in small cogs. in a middle...

AIUI, the issue with low engagement hubs is that you get inconsistent degrees of freedom at the hub. sometimes it kicks, other times not. better but not a full solution. also, chain whipping could be worse with the ability for the cassette to rotate forwards and "feed slack to be whipped". this...

yes @slickrock I agree that PK isn't necessary to achieve anti-squat. but it seems for the Forbidden frames (and other popular eMTB frames in the current moment), they do indeed have PK in proportion to their AS. as far as how much it matters to the ride experience, I personally don't notice...

yes, essentially the same thing, but Ochain confirmed to me here that they would not make a model for Avinox

yeah, I had similar feelings but wrote some stuff about it a little while ago: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/anyone-use-anti-pedal-kickback-tech-on-emtb.40916/post-656877 my understanding is that anti-squat (and thus pedal kickback) are necessary on these bikes, and so the idler is placed...

https://www.rimpactmtb.com/product-page/rimpact-chain-damper-e-bike imo this is the best rattle-reducer option. I have a M1 (Druid CorE) and M2S (DreadE) and the former definitely rattles from the kickback/anti-squat engaging the chainring and motor. the latter might rattle less, but I just...

someone recently reported in another thread that they got an XX DH derailleur working on Amflow https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/amflow-carbon-gx-eagle-axs-%E2%80%94-can-i-add-a-cable-for-avinox-smooth-shift.46651/post-685942 I also approve of the hacking but would prefer an official...

oh, I have finally been convinced that the purple and red are too much. the visual stacking is very apparent in video. going to swap the purple for silver accents

I have a Druid CorE and just got a DreadE. almost 800mi on the former and just over 50 on the latter. DreadE has worse suspension currently and I also haven't gotten the clickers dialed in. I'm also trying Schwalbe radial tires (Mary Gravity Ultra Soft front, Tacky Chan Gravity Soft rear) on...

I think these lads are meaning to say that if you like the high front bar position on the PX, an equivalent cockpit should be easily achievable on the Druid if you so desire. could be worth trying spacers under the stem and a higher rise handlebar then again, if you're sharing bikes between...

nice, good luck w the build! 48lbs would be nice. I'm likely to diverge in the other direction and make the eDread heavier with a dual crown 😅 just curious - what locations are you finding your weight savings in?

hmm that's interesting, I just checked my CorE and I don't see lateral lines
