Been offered a bargain on a 230x62.5mm rear shock. The standard Decoy has a 65mm stroke. Has anyone tried this, I’m happy to sacrifice the approx 5-7mm of rear travel as I don’t need all 165mm. I know the 29er comes with a 230x60 shock but will take a 230x65 to increase the travel with no...

No that YT have gone tits up, does anyone know if it’s possible to replace the cells in the YT battery when the time comes? Hopefully I have a while yet as ours are less than 6 months old, but I know absolutely nothing about battery tech. A friend who’s an engineer reckons that it should be...

It seems like YT has well and truly died this week. Hopefully all our frames remain intact and fault free. I’m hoping suspension and motors will be covered by the manufacturers. I also hope anyone with an order in gets what they paid for.

So I went for a ride this morning and everything was fine. But after putting the bike in the garage I walked past it and my sleeve caught the edge of the button and ripped the button face plate off (new one on order). But now the bike won’t switch on. It’s a YT Decoy MX with an EP801 motor and...

Has anyone got a Marzocchi Bomber Air on their e-bike? I want to replace the basic RS Deluxe coil shock on my YT Decoy with an air and looking at my options. I’d love something fancier like a Vivid Ultimate but haven’t got the funds. Any advice on the Bomber Air or other reasonably priced...

Has anyone managed to run an angler set like the Superstar Slackerizer or Works one in their Decoy? I’m tempted to run my Decoy MX in the high setting but counteract to steepening of the head angle with either an Angleset and/or a Reverse -0.5 angle steerer race or Niner Slacker Puck. The...

My Decoy currently has a 2025 RS Deluxe Coil which is a very basic fork with only LSR adjustment. A friend has given me an old Vivid 5.1 (same length and stroke) from 2010 which was the top end RS shock from back then with LSR, HSR and LSC adjustments. Before I spend the time, effort and small...

Has anyone upgraded their Motion Control fork to the new Isolator damper? I have accepted that I cannot afford to replace the Domain on my ebike, a Charger 2.1 is impossible to find and a Charger 3.1, Fast damper is too expensive. But at £89 the Isolator upgrade is pretty well priced. I know...

New toy. It’s a Core 3, but the wife nicked the Fox suspension and wheels for her Core 1 (which is fair as she both this bike for me after I bought her the Core 1). Front rotor replaced with a 223mm Galfer Wave for increased stopping (bent it on first ride this morning 😡), trusty Burgtec pedals...

Has anyone tried these out and if so what are your thoughts? I notice that at £89 they’re not that expensive compared to Luftkappe and other ‘upgrades’. Also would they work in a more basic fork with a Grip or MoCo damper?

I always wonder if the reason there is more hate for e-bikes in the US compared to UK and Europe is because in the UK/EU they’re limited to about 15.5mph compared to 20mph in the US. Honestly if people were blasting around our local trail centres at 20mph I’d probably be more keen to restrict...

Has anyone managed to upgrade their Domain R? People have fitted the MoCo damper upgrade but that seems to be impossible to find, and others have swapped in a Charger 2.1, but again they’re like gold dust. Lost Co seem to think that a Charger 3 should fit and I just wondered if anyone has...

Does anyone know if Codes and DB8s can take thicker rotors than the standard Centerline ones? I’ve heard great things about thicker rotors and wondered if any of them fitted. Also can anyone recommend any if they do? Ta

Just moved back to Devon and bought a YT Decoy, it’s been 18 years since I last lived here and looking for recommendations on where to ride, I know Haldon pretty well and have explored Dartmoor extensively but wondered where else people would recommend
