Hey!
I’m moving to Malaga next month and looking to take a couple of bikes in the back of my car. Car is a BMW M3 Touring and the bikes are a Trek Rail 9 and Whyte e-160. I’m looking for a couple of bags to stick the bikes in, the Evoc ones look great but too expensive considering I’m just...
I went through the same thing, ended up getting her a Trek Rail 7 for £3700, was a great deal!
I don't think wheel size makes a big difference for how fast (or slow) she is going.
Also make sure the magnet is close enough, some people put a spacer behind it to get it closer to the sensor. It didn’t work for me but worth a shot for a quick fix.
Thanks everyone, will drop to 55psi and remove the tokens. She’s using half the travel currently so definitely needs adjustment!
On the rear, should I just use Trek recommendations?
Hey Everyone!
I bought my wife a Gen 2 Trek Rail 9, she's very new to mountain biking, been out on it a couple of times, but I think the setup too harsh for her. Currently running 64psi, 5 clicks from open on compression and can't remember the rebound, think 5 clicks from closed. She weighs...
I was looking in to the SQLabs bar but thought I’d try the Deity first, it has 9 degrees back sweep so a little more than normal. I would definitely recommend the Mobius X8, I physically would not be able to ride at the moment without it, it’s a life saver.
Ended up going for a 50mm 31.8 Deity bar with some ODI Reflex grips. Will report back if they manage to help with the wrist pain. They won’t completely cure it as it was a bad injury, but anything to help take some pressure off whilst it’s healing.
Spank bars don’t seem to be in stock anywhere unfortunately. Would changing to a Deity 50mm riser with a 31.8 bore, from my whyte 30mm riser with a 35mm bore, make a lot of difference.
Sorry to jack the thread!
It was my first ride back to today since surgery but the pain was mainly from hits, wasn’t so bad going up, but coming down over the rocky stuff was extremely painful. I’ll try the Spank bars and see if they help, if not I’ll try the SQLabs I guess.
Also keen to try the SQLabs 12, just out of wrist surgery for 2 breaks and a dislocation and need something to alleviate the pain, using a Mobius X8 wrist brace but keen to try these in a 45mm rise.
Also looking at the Spank Vibrocore, but the SQLabs may be a better option? Has anyone used...
