Magura Caliper adapter needed upgrading from 160 PM on Orbea Vibe I know the Vibe isn't an mtb, but hopefully some of you folks with Magura experience might know the answer. The Vibe is Orbea's urban bike and comes with a post-mount caliper and 160mm Magura rotor. A little weak for my mass...

Anyone know the # of chain links for 2020 Decoy 29? Rear mech got ripped off clean during my last ride (ouch!). I tried to run single-speed cutting my chain on trail but there wasn't enough tension and pretty much just pushed my 52 lb ebike through and out of the woods, coasting downhill...

Other than @BiGJZ74, who of you Rise owners out there are 250lbs+ riders? I'd love to hear from you if you feel the 60Nm EP8RS is up to task for you on steep punchy climbs. Especially if you have FF motor experience. I'm not worried about range and I'm typically carrying around 25-30% extra...

Anyone with the Rise M10: Do the E*13 cranks already come with the crank-arm protector 'boots'? E*13's page shows pics with and without boots....a bit indeterminate. That would be swell if E*13 cranks already ship with booty. <queue Sir Mixalot>

Can anyone with a Levo SL (Small) provide some physical measurements of their standover? Maybe at the seat-tube junction and front of the saddle horn? Hearing some differences of opinion on this number. No LBS has a small in stock for IRL measurements. Spesh's website spec of 787mm...

Everyone laughs about "E-bike" rated lube, seats, grips, valve-caps and tire levers.....who doesn't enjoy a good chuckle at eMTB Marketing Gone Wild?? I've been conversing with a *very* helpful and patient Tech Support rep from Fox, but no matter what fork I seem to discuss, they seem to have a...

I have a Decoy29 with stock Fox 36E+ (34 internals) w/ 150mm travel and looking for something a bit more supple. Seems like the 36E is a dead-end for upgrading. The Z1 Coil is a sweet deal at $780 and *in stock* now. I already have a Fox 38 (non-E) on order/backordered indefinitely, may be...

I'm thinking of upgrading my Fox36E - 150mm to Fox38 (160 or 170mm). Rear travel is stock 145mm (Current stock 230x60 DPX2, to be replaced with Bomber CR 230x60mm). Not planning to change rear travel. Who out there is running 160mm vs. 170mm F / stock 145mm R on the lower-travel Decoy29? I...

How many of you are running air forks with rear coil shocks? My suspension shop cautions against leaving the front as an air-spring. Are you happy with your setup, or do you feel that it's out of balance? (natural frequency, F/R pop, etc.) Is coil on one end only as much a mistake as I'm led...

I've read/re-read the tuning sticky...watch all the videos, but need some help for a heavy rider. I borrowed my (generous) friend's Shockwiz and went down a tuning rabbit hole for the past 2 weeks and have uncovered that I'm likely too heavy for this bike frame to be running an air shock. I'm...

Can you eyeball this cassette and tell if it's needing replacement? It's got about 750 miles / 49,000 climb ft. on it from new; mixed conditions. With Shimano's gear machining it's hard to tell "Sharktooth" wear vs. Shimano's normal ramping profiles. No chain slipping (yet) and chain...

I just ran across this very helpful site a week ago when trying to compare my old and 2 new prospective bikes. I hope you find it as helpful as I did! https://geometrygeeks.bike/

I just discovered this site a week ago and find it incredibly helpful. https://geometrygeeks.bike/

Any riders out there on an Orbea Rise size Small? If so, what's your height (or "RAD" if you have it)? How do you feel on the bike? My wife is 5-foot (152cm) and rides an XS Giant Anthem X1W from a decade ago. The Rise has +24mm longer TT and +69mm longer reach. Her "RAD" calculation...

As some of you read, I had wrecked my shoulder a few weeks ago and off the bike since. During that ride however, even before the wreck, I experienced issues up-shifting (harder) from 7th to 8th gear, or downshifting (easier) from 8th to 7th. Nothing would happen either direction just a...

Sadly - Just 10 minutes into my 2nd Decoy ride I took a bad spill at speed (either a pedal strike or bar end nicked a tree) and I went down hard on my R shoulder. Honestly, I can't even remember how it happened it was really quick. I shook it off and got to a safer portion of the trail....not...

The Decoy29 finally landed yesterday after a 35 day gestation... Unboxed, converted to tubeless, 220 mm rotor upgrade up front and in a few hours she was ready to go (would have been faster if I had the right length post-mount bolts). Did some neighborhood rides just to dial-in the cockpit and...

For those of you with a Decoy 29 Pro and DT Swiss 1700 wheelset. Do they come pre-taped from YT all ready for running tubeless?

I'm a 10.5 EE-EEEE in dress shoes depending on the brand. I've had good luck with Sidi Dominator Mega for the a cleated road shoe, but having little luck with platform mtb shoes. Currently wearing FiveTen Freeriders as the 'least uncomfortable', but they're not ideal. That thick tongue drives...

Ordered my 29 Pro and impatiently waiting. In the meantime, trying to get everything I need to hit the dirt ASAP after delivery. Unlike my previous Jeffsy, YT says the new Decoy29 Pro does not ship with tubeless valves. YT doesn't recommend any in particular for the DT Swiss H 1700 rim. What...
