    Clik Valves

    I seem to recall some issues with the presta big bores that supposedly the new design would remedy. I've used the Hybrid version (Schrader head/ Presta shank) the whole time with flawless performance, and the Hybrids have even more air flow than the Presta version.

    Avinox M2s rattle

    I would suggest claiming this right away as a warranty issue with Crestline (assuming that's your bike). The more these claims hit Avinox, the more they can't sweep it under the rug.

    Avinox M2s rattle

    With no kickback and no chain whipping, there would effectively be no rattle, assuming it's final drive gear slop at issue.

    What's the final weight, with/without pedals?

    Avinox M2s rattle

    I feel this question should be asked under the assumption if these occurrences are a sample defects under warranty replacement (i.e. a fraction of all M2S motors in the wild) or an actual design flow that warrants a recall. Both require good faith action from Avinox. If instead Avinox blows this...

    Avinox M2s rattle

    Technically, suspension-activated pedal kickback is only a function of chain growth during activation, not anti-squat. You can achieve high anti-squat without pedal kickback with a high single concentric pivot design that locks in the instant center. But this would require either a...

    Clik Valves

    Another vote for the Big Bores. Especially the the Hybrid version which is basically a coreless schrader valve that fits presta rims. Compatible with everything and the air volume it passes is insane and no way you could ever clog it. Yes, and it will happen just once. It's funny how the...

    4th derailleur in 14 month

    Fortune teller says: "then many more broken drivetrains in your future and must suck it up". Then fortune teller says: "It won't be Bosch."

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Dude, that's harsh. You should save it for something like this: Sorry Astro, just sayin.

    Everybody likes a good rumour.

    Nice MGU rendering, if you like Orange. I was really hoping for MGU version of their HP downhill rig: That Pinion MGU belt tensioner leaves a lot to be desired. Was hoping to see Zerode's own tensioner design:

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Can anyone with a medium or small (preferred) Rogue measure the actual seat tube length (roughly the distance between the BB and seat tube collar) and provide it? Only the "effective" seat tube length is specified on the site and I need the detail to properly calculate max dropper travel.

    Never did get the axle path kinematics graph for all the setting combinations from Teewing. My guess is axle path for mixed mode may be exaggerated, just by looking at the swingarm length. Were they testing mixed wheels on the mixed setting?

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    For starters and for those who aren't familiar with Manitou, checkout the weight of this enduro 180mm fork, which will be even lighter than this when I remove 40mm worth of spacers: That saves over a pound right there.

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Agree that Rogue is clearly a cat-5 enduro offering built for durability under heavy aggressive riding. The Vandal may be to better play to take advantage of a lightweight build, but that's far off. But I've been locked into a Rogue frame purchase for awhile now (because at the time it was the...

    Avinox M2s rattle

    Please provide more details on your friend's Forbidden M2S. These bikes are HP and so have less inherent kickback. Float is in the equation for sure, but really need to know how quick was the onset M2S rattle on the Forbidden. If it was there all along, that would point to setup/installation issue.

    Velduro M1 Owners: Anyone else chasing an upgrade?

    Aus/NZ folks are on opposite seasons from the rest of NA/EU and after all Velduro is a NZ company, so market access to bike was more readily accessible earlier in the Rogue's product cycle for regional folks when the M1 reigned. NA/EU OTOH, have been mostly on a waiting game (or ostensible shut...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    I'm working on lighter all-mountain edition, but keeping the travel long to keep the ride plush. Mezzer Pro and custom wheel build will be part of the secret sauce.

    Avinox M2s rattle

    That it's a PX is huge, as it's straight from the horse's mouth and Amflow will be forced to deal with this head-on. It will be a PR nightmare for them if they don't consider it a warranty issue, as the M2S has mechanic tech to specifically address motor rattle (i.e. mesh gear), whereas the M2...

    Avinox M2s rattle

    A thousand klicks in just 4 weeks is a lot usage and the kind of use case that could foreshadow long-term M2S behavior: How many klicks did you start to notice the rattle? How many total klicks on the motor (i.e. any miles put on before the last 4 weeks)? Was it sudden onset or realization? Has...
