    Sam2 - 180mm Travel Upgrade?

    Just an update, I've installed the 180mm Debonair air spring (with newer C1 Seal Head) into the Yari. Quick and cheap enough to do. A few observations after two laps of the local loop (~24km, mixed riding with some technical ups, burly downhill sections and fire trail/roads). 1. The fork...

    Sam2 - 180mm Travel Upgrade?

    Need...maybe not, but if I can have it why not? I've always thought having more than you need in the front end might help save me should I screw things up (a high likelihood). They're just about to open a new local trail with some nice jump lines, so I'm thinking more merrier. The Kenevo and...

    Sam2 - 180mm Travel Upgrade?

    Hi, I've got a Sam2 with a 170mm Yari, and am going to upgrade to the Debonair Air Spring. Question is, do I up the travel to 180mm whilst there? Has anyone done this? I'll likely upgrade to the Charger 2.1 RC2 damper whilst there I think. Thanks, Damien

    I've no idea sorry, though I bought the SD50 one and it worked.

    Di2 Any Good. Who has it

    Installation is pretty strain forward as per description @Zimmerframe. For a Large Sam2, I used a 750mm cable from mech to motor (hub) and 200mm from rHS shifter to display (installed RHS of stem). Note however that I'm running a non-di2 Renthal bar and just ziptied cable under the bar. If you...

    Di2 Any Good. Who has it

    I installed xt d12 on my sam2 a week ago. Great upgrade for focus bikes as I think that gear cable routing above the motor makes it an absolute pain to change gear cable outer and the bends are aggressive. My right gear shifter was faulty and sticking but I’ve replaced that now, seems good...

    Upgrade to Di2 shifting

    Hi, I installed XT Di2 shifting on my Focus Sam2, and and ST Unlocker already which allowed me to change the system to 'electronic shifting'. Simple and easy thanks to the information on this post. Whilst shifting down (to bigger cogs) is super crisp, I do find that shifting up gears (to...
