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...

If it was the bike I really wanted, then I'd go for it, never crossed my mind when I bought my Decoy, got Stunlocker for the US speed limiter and it's nice, but wouldn't sway me if I bought a Bosch bike. That said, I live in the bottom of a valley so most of my riding is 10-15kmh uphill :D

I always use C, even if I need to remove the wheels.......

If it's Serre Chevalier, I'm in!

Sram 220mm rear disc for my Decoy, I know maybe 220 is perhaps overkill for the rear (already have 220 on front) but needed a new disc anyway and run Hope V4 brakes, which while bombproof, aren't the most powerful out there, first ride this morning and really happy!

I try to avoid running the 11t on my 11 speed if poss for this reason........

Try track standing with a Yamaha motor ?

Sweet!

At least that had a purpose..........

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...

Or go for the Oneup carbon bars with flex/damping built in, really worked for me (y)

I bought a spare SLX derailleur a few weeks back, took me half a day to find one on the 'net.........

Yes, pretty lucky with all that on our doorstep! MTB is awesome, full-on bike park and limitless trails to shred :cool:

Pretty much wear my Proframe only in the park, don't uplift tho (€€€) so clip it to my backpack on the way up. There are a couple of faster rides I do round here where I'll wear it too.......

I've got around 1500km on my Eddy Current rear, much more worn than yours but mostly hard rocky trails here.... It's worn totally even though, centre and side knobs same both sides. The tyre isn't directional so you could flip it and get another 1200km from it no problem :)

Totally acceptable! Unlike wearing helmet plus sunnies for skiing.........:geek:

Totally agree, my Decoy (not a Rise, I know!) was transformed firstly with a coil shock (Marzocchi Bomber) and again with a Vorsprung Smashpot coil fork conversion, so much more supple everywhere, using all the travel and still plenty of support (y)

I've been riding for over 30 years with my phone screen side in in my zippered shorts pocket with zero issues.......

Surely you don't need to remove the bushings, just mask the bores?
