Yeah I wanted playfulness/maneuverability & knew the large would of been less so.
Plus I had an Orbea Rise which felt horrible when I jumped back on it after riding the Bronson(2022 mullet) so I knew I wanted something similar geometry wise & a mullet,which I thought was another gimmick before I...
I'm 6ft & went with the Medium, glad I did,the numbers are very similar to my Large Bronson so switching between the 2 of them isn't to noticeable, apart from the battery,motor & weight difference 😅
I'm bang on 6ft & went with the medium, fits like a glove,for me the large would definitely of been to big,& with an emtb being heavier i Didn’t want it to feel to big as well.
I'm coming from a slightly different point of view as mine has a zeb up front & rockshox at the back,but I've found very little issues with my set up,it's certainly a very plush ride,way more planted & forgiving than either the Rise or Bronson.
I'm running 30% in the shock most rides,I'm 80kgs...
Ha ha,it looks worse/better than it is,although that is about £32k worth in that picture.
The Strive & the Gold Bronson are mine,& the grey Bronson is my wife's,plus I have donated my Orbea rise to her after the Strive arrived,so technically 2 each,plus she has a road bike
She was adamant she...
Mine just about clears the shock,but it's close.
Must admit I was surprised how basic it was when it arrived, but it does the job & looks better than most I've seen,it's a relatively clean aesthetic.
You should try the Granite Rt stash multi tool,got one on my Bronson & it's very good,no need to tap the steerer, quick & easy to fit.
Also have their tyre plug & worm tool in both bikes,fits in the end of your handlebar & your grip fits over the top,very neat solution.
I know,don't ever use it as a lube,just didn't have the time to strip,clean & re grease every possible bolt & contact point,I'm fairly sure it was the seatpost though,as you suggested.
Thanks mate, my creak seems like it was the seat post, gave it a good dose of grease & no more noise,although I did Wd40 the crap out of anything else that might of been responsible,so time will tell.
Mine did it,third ride in,after about 100m,so I removed the battery then set off again,same thing happened, so I removed the battery again & when I reconnected it I realised that I wasn't fully pushing the latch as far as it would go,so as soon as I rode off the battery was moving &...
Same for me,always large in every other bike,even went Xl on a 2019 Bronson,which was an error,never felt quite right,went for large with my 2023 Bronson & that feels the same as my medium Strive,the numbers back that up as well.
