    Fair! I think I’ve set my mind on the 27 now. It’s just deciding between race with the Zebs and rear coil, or paying extra for the blingy signature with the Fox 38’s. I can’t stand code R’s which the race has but they can always be changed. Availability on both bikes is June 2021. Madness.

    Love it. Are you happy with your choice of the 29er? I’m eyeing up a 27 signature (would be happy with a race too) but can’t help but keep considering a 29. I didn’t quite gel with my Decoy 29 so that might have answered my own question, although being an XL it felt too big for me in any case!

    2021 Husqvarna Extreme Cross

    Looks like a beast. Won’t be coming to the UK any time soon though.. which is bizarre and disappointing.

    Bike racks

    If you can, but as the bike doesn’t physically come into contact with the car it’s fine to just install as it is If it’s dirty.

    YT Decoy 29 - Tyres

    so far I’d say the Eddy is the perfect all-rounder on almost all surfaces. Its Pretty much a downhill casing so it’s heavy but takes a battering, and the tread is almost identical to the Magic Mary’s which were similar to typical motorcross Tyres for grip in mud and soft stuff. It does drag...

    Bike racks

    I was in a similar situation.. I have no rails or bars on my car. Solution : So far It’s been solid and I’ve tested it up to 70mph with no drama at all.

    Roof rack transportation options

    It looks like it does have fix points, but looking at the cost of rails, and then a rack of some form it quickly added up. So my resolution turned up today, and fitted it up just for a trial fit (pardon my garage int he background, my garden is having some work done so its a total mess!)...

    Roof rack transportation options

    Bumping a pretty old thread so apologies! My car has no option for a tow bar due to the rear diffuser, and the roof racks are out of the question due a glass roof. The only option i can really see is using a Sea Sucker Bomber. Its a 3 bike carrier, but i would be using it for two EMTBs at...

    Decoy 29er Owners, sizing concerns

    ..Me too. Im 6ft and sized 'up' to an XL following the sizing guide on the YT site. 4 months later with a big mix of riding (im not an expert at anything!) and i wished i had an L instead. On more technical, twisty and slower trails, the XL Decoy 29 feels like the Titanic. I certainly dont...

    YT Decoy Shimano Steps E8000 Speed Sensor Wire

    All, thanks for your input. We dropped the motor and removed the speed sensor cable. I purchased the SM-DUE10 sensor as suggested above, but it turns out its actually a DUE11 cable thats used on these (for future ref) as the sensor is slightly different. I managed to salvage the existing cable...

    YT Decoy Shimano Steps E8000 Speed Sensor Wire

    Hi All had a bit of a nightmare tonight, long story short my pedal caught the speed sensor cable which was very slack as the clip h holding the cable had come off the inside of the swing arm. Ive spilt the cable in half just before it enters the frame. It all powers on fine, but the WO11...

    YT Decoy 29 - Tyres

    i forgot about this thread - i did indeed change the rear for an Eddy Current in 2.6. The front minion is still doing fine but when that's ready to change il get an Eddy up front too. much prefer the Eddy. i ran it at 25psi first off and a tyre burp on my local DH track gave me another flat and...

    YT Decoy 29 - Tyres

    Hi guys second time I’ve had a puncture on my base 29 on the rear, this time denting my rim. I’m running the standard Minion DHR II 2.4 that came with the bike. I don’t rate it. Looking at a new tyre for the rear, and il now purchase a cushcore. do any of you guys have any recommendations for...

    Bike rack.

    Defo agree with the lack of security with the SS. When out on a ride i suppose you have to remember to put the SS in your car as someone could steal that when your out on a ride let alone the bike attached to it at the services etc. Nature of the beast with the sea sucker i think. i dont...

    Bike rack.

    to be fair the Sea Sucker is a tried and tested rack - i see what your saying but if they are installed correctly i see no issue with paint (assuming common sense is used by putting the sucker on a clean non dirty / gritty surface) and the other suckers on the rear glass or boot / trunk lid...

    Bike rack.

    have any of you guys used a Sea Sucker with your E Bikes? im considering one for my Decoy. 20kg limit on the sea sucker means a battery off job i think though.
