So, I've had my Decoy for 5 years now, time flies eh! Done loads of mods, coil fork and shock, Hope brakes, One-Up bars etc etc.
The main reason I'm toying with a change is the (non) availability and price (€1000!!!) of a 720wh battery, also the entire bike is now coming into its 6th season and...
Fitted a Cushcore to the rear today, nothing like the ball ache a lot of people say, but trickier than a normal tyre swap for sure, the secret is to really use the rim well to give everything a chance to fit.....
The reason for fitting one was we're pretty rocky round here, so I've been using DH...
Just fitted a new chain and unless I'm missing something, the chainring is symmetrical, ie it doesn't matter for the placement of the chain as on a narrow/wide chainring?
After 5 years of DH and 4 years emtb using DH casings (with hd tubes) I picked up just 1 puncture, that was what appeared to be an upholstery nail which would've killed anything........
Round here is dry and stony, not many thorns, but lots of sharp-edged rocks, I seem to be good at not getting...

Review: After fitting a Marzocchi Bomber coil rear shock to my Decoy Base and being blown away by how much better the bike feels, I started playing around with the Yari fork.
It's always...
Since I fitted a Bomber coil to the rear, I've really noticed the lack of smoothness/compliance at the front compared to the plush feel from the rear.....
Tried lower leg service along with a 170mm airshaft, better, but still not what I was looking for...
Bit the bullet and ordered a Vorsprung...
Not a recall as such, more an alert.......(via email today)

Description: Just fitted a 170mm airshaft to my 3 month old 2019 Yari, so the original is surplus! Easy to fit at the same time as a lower fork service, easy/cheap way to...
Can't see a thread on this so thought I'd start one!
Me, 63, in the Alps, been riding MTB for 31 years, e-bike for 3 years now, still got a clockwork bike for the park and road rides!
Out here (Serre Chevalier, France) seems like all ages are on e-bikes, from 10-80 years old! At first I thought...
Haven't tried it yet, but if I set trail mode to 300%, will it work the same as the Bosch emtb mode?
In boost, it seems to deliver all the power immediately which as opposed to trail where the harder you pedal, the more power it delivers which is like the Bosch and feels more natural.....
Or...
Love to fit a coil shock on the Base Decoy, but concerned that the frame kinematics designed around a progressive air shock probably won't work with a linear coil shock? The deluxe shock works "ok", and is only a cheap part so wouldn't pain me to change it out, but coming from a DH bike, miss...
