Polished aluminum raw. It forms a native oxide. Officially, all my bikes are now this finish (except the DH bike... that got chromed). I have a problem.

My remote died so I figured I'd do a full rebuild. Stripped all the parts and electronics off. Stripped paint. 320, 600, 1000 grit and then buffing wheel. Finished product. Stuffing the harnesses was the HARDEST task.

Do you know if a regular 130 would work? And how exactly does the Ebike field work? I download the app on my desktop and "flash" the Garmin?

Pleasanton ridge?

Lol! Sounds like you know the "fun" trails. Are you on Turbo Thursday rides too? =P

Lemme guess... Joaquin Miller? =P

Oh, one action shot:

Hopefully the LAST upgrades on this previously base-model bike (so far, RS Lyrik Ultimate fork at 170mm travel, Fox Float X2 rear shock at 185X55mm, X01 drivetrain, Amazon special cassette, Shimano Zee brakes, Magura 220mm front rotor, Maxxis DHF and HR2 tires):

This is for the 2020 Giant Trance with the speed sensor magnet bolted on the rear rotor. I moved the sensor and placed it on the left chainstay. Orientation is important for the sensor to pick up the signal (see picture). Mounted the magnet to the tip of my left crank (again, see photos). So...

Mine after a wash too.... hoping that I am done with the mods, which include: 1) Cane Creek 1.5 deg angleset 2) Lyrik Ultimate 170 mm travel fork 3) Fox DPX2 (185X55) 4) Shimano Zee brakes 5) Magura MDRP 220 mm front rotor Curious, what tire pressures are people running on their bikes? I'm 160...

I've ran coil and air on different bikes. Most coil shocks are wound to be linear rate (but there are progressive ones out there now) which means very litte ramp up to the end of travel. Coil shocks are also stiction free since they don't need air seals. Air shocks have inherent ramp (more...

I followed the original poster's route with the front fork and now it's at 170mm (I have a Lyrik Ultimate with some moderate offset to it.. I forget). FOR SURE it feels more stable at speed and confidence inspiring on the steeps. I also opted to stick with 27.5 because a big front wheel just...

Welp, I've done two rides on the DPX2 (base Performance... no LSC). The parking lot test suggested that the rebound tune was pretty light... I could still see one oscillation even after I had the rebound adjuster at fully closed. This was a bit concerning because my worst fear is getting...

Have you tested yours yet? I installed my DPX2 and the rebound tune feels pretty light even at fully closed... not sure if it's just valved so it still feels relatively open at low speed. The DPS feels considerably slower (rebound).

I just bought the DPX2 shock and can't wait to see the difference vs the regular DPS shock. Hoping to get more small bump compliance from it. Your rig looks great!

Both Giant Trance, but the rides are distinctly different (and I mean downhill).

I want to do this on my 2020 Trance (looks like it has the updated software and sensors). Will there be issues when I do this? There are jumps that I need to hit at a faster speed and it's unnerving having the motor cut out at 20 mph. Thanks.

So I did this (used the same shock and removed 2.5mm aluminum spacer), and I did not even remove the shock from the mounts. Here's the procedure if you want to perform it (applies to Fox shocks only): 1) release air from your shock (make sure you check psi prior so you can use it for baseline)...

Hmm... just did some googling and in terms of bottom bracket height (center of axle), and most modern enduro bikes sit at 350mm.... exactly the same as my BB height at this point. It's just that my bike has a motor belly. LOL

Thanks for the feedback and yes, if you have the time to measure, it'd be great. In reality, I actually want more BB clearance anyway. I've only "hurt" this bike once, and it was on a rock strike to the skid plate that crushed the speed sensor wire (which created an error and put an abrupt...
