Not sure if you have been reading the EXE mega thread robrides set up. But someone in there brought to peoples attention that trek have been putting the NON carbon cranks on the XT model here is AUS even though its meant to have the carbon cranks and is specd with carbon cranks and priced...
Hi All,
thought i would do a little bike check update. Been a while since i did last.
A couple of changes since last update:
- Now running a BLACK spring on the DHX2, went with the DVO 425-500lb spring (the 450-550lb cane creek one felt too stiff, plus i wanted black spring anyway. I lost...
ive noticed similar with mine. setting the sag has required a lower pressure then before, significantly lower. To the point where ive left the pressure too high to get the sag i was after because it just doesnt seem right that the pressure would be that low. Going to ride it with the sag firmer...
DHX2 Coil now on. Haven't had a chance to go for ride yet, so will see how that goes tomorrow :)
Posted about the upgrade properly here:

DHX2 just installed on my rail 7 at 65mm stroke. have just posted over in the DHX2 on trek rail forum. cheers
Ok, So i just mounted my DHX2 at 65mm stroke on my 2021 Rail 7 (Large).
Some things to note:
- Used the stock trek mounting hardware, but had to chuck some standard DU bushings in the Fox shock first
- To achieve 65mm stroke (169mm travel) i had to put rear frame Mono Link in HIGH setting (i...
I think you could probably actually go a little more on the stroke. Although it looks close, if you were to measure in a straight line directly down from the bottom corner of the resevoir you've probably another 10mm there. Food for thought...
i just mounted my shock at 65mm stroke. Will post...
Went with the Cammo. looks a bit more custom i think.... May go to the plain teal at some point in the future for a bit more of an OEM look. But otherwise stoked with the stickers. Definitely recommend Slik Graphics for custom stickers.
well.... Just had a knock at my door and guess what just arrived. All the way from SWEDEN!
Ordered 8 days ago, printed custom colours, delivered to my door just now.
Website was super easy to use, stickers are super high quality, VERY impressed!
Cost $30 Australian each plus $15 shipping...
Nice one, keen to see how you go. The photos in this thread of the float X2 seem to show its pretty close to the seat tube so hopefully works out ok with the medium.
I have just ordered the exact same spring. Wanted the DVO ProRate spring (as its Black) but they dont have stock of the one i...
I have ordered my lyrik stickers off of Shop and customise mountain bike decals // Slik Graphics where you can custom choose colours or patterns to make the perfect sticker (they can even colour match bikes). They were $30/set for the custom colour ones i chose. reasonable if you ask me.
i...
Funny thing is i havent had a chance to ride the bike yet (properly) with the fork upgrade and handlebars/stem.... As the bike was in the LBS getting the work done, i ended up with some leg issues from my morning runs which put me out of action. Then a week later i got the old wuhan flu and am...
considering the age of your original post, this probably wasnt available at time of posting. But DVO do have the progressive lightweight springs now. Could be worth the upgrade if still running this shock.
cheers for the great write up. I was nearly going to get myself one of these shocks, but...
Thanks to everyone for the great advice and tips in this thread.
Just got myself a 2021 DHX2 230x65 which i should be fitting up to my rail 7 (size L) in the next week or so once it arrives and i get the spring. will be ordering a progressive spring as i really want to get the nice plush feel...
