Anyone having an issue with the OneUp chain guide? Mine is rubbing my chain and for the life of me, the only way I see to resolve this is to remove the mount, sand it down, and reinstall so the guide moves closer to the frame. It barely rubs now but it still rubs and is super annoying. I...

I’m a civil engineer. I work for a multi family development partnership, so that’s not a question in my wheelhouse. An industrial or mechanical engineer would be better suited for that question. Molds due wear out the more they are used though, and I would assume that it happens faster in a...

I was more referring to the jump from 3% industry standard to 10%.

Well Troydon has said they use prototype molds in several interviews. This allows him to design faster and it’s cheaper. Down side is the molds get out of spec quickly. An industry insider told me that they have a higher than average failure rate due to the molds. Either way, even if it’s 10%...

I’d try weedeater trimmer wire. It’s stiff enough to push but flexible enough to work.

Ive heard that Crestline has a much higher failure rate compared to other brands due to them using prototype molds. Most brands are like 3% failure rate, and Ive heard that Crestline is closer to 10%. So on a run like the Specter that has 300 frames, ~30 failures can be expected. Have you...

Granted I don’t really ride my Ripmo super hard at the park, and it has the OG version of spokes, I still haven’t felt that sensation. And I’m 250lbs. The Crestline has the PolyX spokes, so the thicker version, and I’ve been super happy up to now. I’m not a super playful rider either. I’m...

“Stiffness” is such a subjective feel though. At 6’+ 250lbs, I’m not sure I’ve ever truly felt a super stiff wheel. The carbon rims I have (Reserve and Hawk30X) are known to be “stiff” but to me they feel amazing. I think rider weight plays the biggest part in this. A rider at 140lbs will...

I’m not a wheel builder, nor have I ever tried. It’s the only part on my bike I don’t personally mess with. Having said that, like previously mentioned, my 1st set was built by a local builder. He took a week. I haven’t had any issues with that set. 2nd set was Berd Built. No issues as of...

There is no initial maintenance other than not being able to ride them for a few days once laced and tensioned. You just have to re tension a few times while building them. Once ready, they are gtg.

I disagree. Berd spokes are compatible with every rim on the market. Pi is not. Berd spokes are compatible with most hubs on the market. Pi is not. Berd is an American company using dynema fabric. The same stuff that synthetic winch cables are made from on every off road race team...

I’m running the classic hub from onyx. A couple of things to note: 1. Onyx redesigned the classic hub and it now looks like the vesper, but it still retains the x2 sprag clutches on the inside for strength. 2. I went with hook flange for a more secure connection. My Ripmo has the original...

I run Berd spokes on both my bikes. Ripmo and Crestline. Both run onyx hubs, the Ripmo has reserve carbon rims and the Crestline has Berd hawk x carbon rims. The Crestline is also running the larger thicker spokes. I’ll never run a different spoke unless something better comes out. They...

Went to a DH park yesterday, Ride Rock Creek, and noticed that my motor would spin up at certain angles. Like it was about to coast shift. As far as I can tell it never shifted, but in a 5ish min DH run it would do it a handful of times. Anyone know what setting is causing this? I played a...

Use weed-eater wire or a section of cable housing. Tape the power cable butt to butt with the weed-eater wire or cable housing. Go slow and easy.

Nice. Thanks.

Does anyone know what size seat clamp the 181.2 uses? I know the seat post size, but I’d like to add a little color with a different seat collar clamp. Just don’t know what size to get.

I just scooped up the last one according to the site. Fingers crossed it comes. I did email ridewrap and they said they would send me a new piece free of charge to cover the spot if I wanted. I may still do that depending on how the guard mounts.

No. This was starting in eco. It definitely felt like the motor was giving resistance. I did mess with the assistant level and kicked it up higher. The drag went away. But it still shouldn’t feel like drag when the assistance level is lower. My trad bike is 36t as well so I’m used to the...

What do you mean it’s due to the 36t?
