Hey All
Well I am now riding the "Big S" after buying a 2022 Levo Turbo Pro. Previously spent 2 years on a YT Decoy that "had" significant DH capabilities over the Levo .. until now .. the tables have turned. :unsure:
After the first couple rides on the new Levo, all I can say is WOW, this...
In all my years of riding, I have never seen a chain guide so poor as the stock version on the Decoy.
I have gone through 3 of them:
1. When the bolts backed out (as per YT notice) the PLASTIC mounts broke (ordered replacement)
2. I snapped a chain last season and the PLASTIC mounts broke...
Hey Everybody
Shimano finally released a set of 160mm E-Bike cranks (** note: for the EP8 motor .. keep reading)
Background (why I wanted shorter cranks)
I have a 2019 Decoy Pro race, and decided to finally install a 2.6 rear tire .. BUT .. did NOT want to run the flip chip in high position (...
Hey all
Can anybody provide for me (measure as close as possible) the STACK HEIGHT for the YT Postman ? (or the base to the seat rail measurement when slammed down .. see the 33mm measurement below)
I have a new YT on the way (likely Jan) and I want the flexibility to slam the seat as LOW as...
Does anybody know the specs or where to source replacement bearings for the Acros AZX-260 headset ?
Even the Acros webpage does not offer replacement bearings for this model ??
Cheers
Hey all (updated to include option #5)
Its almost that time of year where drivetrain replacements are set to take place (*its almost WINTER here in Canada).
My bike is the 2019 Decoy with Di-shifting ... AND the ever so cranky/clunky E13 cassette. I am happy thus far with the rims and hub...
From the YT Canada site ..

Hey All
I am using the RideControl APP for my wife 2020 Giant Liv Intrigue E that I had the updated EVO display screen added (ride control control removed)
It is "supposed" to allow for email and text messaging to be displayed on the EVO screen, however the option to enable this in the...
Ok .. I'll get it started . Curious to see what upgrades or changes you have done to your Decoy and the REVIEWS that go with it.
I bought the Pro Race model as I liked the specs .. so did not change a whole lot
Change #1 - Upsized to Galfer 223mm rotors front and back
Comments: IMO the best...
Hey All
I am VERY experienced using both Carbon and Aluminum bars, but have a question for those who have made the switch on an E-Bike.
I know all the pros and cons in terms of vibration dampening, etc., but the ONE single area that has me a bit concerned about making the switch is compliancy...
Hey all
I am in the process of pulling the trigger on a Garmin 830 very soon and have a question for those who own one or have also looked into this.
You can buy just the unit itself OR purchase the "mtb bundle" that includes a remote, silicone case and speed sensor. The issue is that the...
Well being from Canada, our riding season is coming to an end, so I'll be winterizing the Decoy very soon. The white evil flakes are on the way soon.
Will be storing for approximately 4-5 months :(
The question is how to properly store the battery. I have done some research and the general...
Has anybody fitted a bash guard to their Decoy since the upper 2 ISCG mounts are being used by the E13 chainguide ?
The other challenge is finding one that works, given the Decoy is unique in requiring the e13 chain guide alone.
I was thinking of some king of "triangular wedge" epoxied to the...
I have had my Decoy for a couple weeks now and am absolutely loving it!:love:
The only area I am concerned about (albeit have adapted in the last few rides) is the very low BB. In fact I just replaced a 4 month old set of pedals that were almost new when installed yesterday because I have...
Does anybody have any "insider info" on the arrival of the 2020 Giant E-Bike offerings?
Either via a connection or based on historically when they arrive in the shops (ie based on last year).
I have a deposit on one for my wife, and it would be cool to be able to ride it this year.
Cheers
Hey All
Went out for a ride tonight and just after lifting by bike by the seatstay to carry across a creek, I noticed that my Di2 derailleur was no longer registering on the display unit Just shows "M" rather than the gear the bike is in. Will also no longer shift either.
I did pull some of...
Hey all
New YT Decoy has been running flawless, but I am wanting to pick up a spare chain to keep "on hand".
What are your recommendations based and why ?? E-bike specific ? Brand ? Reasoning …. etc?
( Side note : Anybody know what the stock Shimano is on the CF Pro model)
Cheers
I understand that most e-bikes have an "IP Rating" (ingress progression) code that protect against the ingress of dirt and water, however was wondering what "extra" strategies people take to ensure no water gets into their battery and motor units.
Not too concerned about washing the bike (easy...
Hey All
Just received my new e-bike (YT Decoy) and I have NO Bluetooth LE option appearing on the display menu ?? Scrolling through the menu, Bluetooth is NOT an option.
My other e-bike has the option to select (commencal), but my new bike does not .. so its not a newbie oversight :)
Any...
Greetings all (1st post).
Well my YT Decoy is set to arrive some day now (delay, after delay .. and seemingly non existent customer service but that's another story), but I am curious from a rider who has always run the same wheel sizes, how much difference most are running between the 2.8 rear...
