Put a layer of plummers pipe dope (not the putty) or wrap the taper washer with a little bit of plumers teflon tape. This technique works great to remove creaks from the BB area of bikes.
One of these days I will try this 2.6 fun, but I don't know how the bike will handle in the high geo positon. I like the low. Easy to manual, jumping, and just ripping through a rocky line going straight and letting off the brakes.
Here's mine: 30.5 miles and 5147 ft on the ascent. This did require continual battery management and smart use of the motor. There really was very little that needed boost mode.
Eco mode was set to high
Trail mode was set to low with torque limited to 50 nm.
Boost mode was set to low with...
About ride wrap.
How did they handle the weld bumps in seat and chain stays? I can't really tell by the pics and RideWrap seems to be ignoring my info requests.
What this guy said. Bleed them. Then, do the piston rebalancing act shown here.
look at 5:30 in to skip the intro and tools needed.
SRAM ARE HIGH MAINTENANCE !!!!!
When I feel inspired, I may switch to TRP for the great modulation and little maintenance
I've had my Decoy since Jan 2020. I've put 1500+ miles on it. In April (I think) I used StUnlocker to check things and it said battery health at 99% (0 Cycles). I thought with limited daylight, winter weather and other factors I had not ridden that much.
Fast forward to Sept 1st. It...
Fox "decided" to do a 36 with thicker parts and use 34 internals. They say it's better, but I could not tell. It also makes any kind of upgrade much more tricky.
don't buy those rings. They are RaceFace knockoffs from China. They did not even bother to disguise it by changing the name much. LOL. In my experience, you'll buy 3 or 4 of those knockoffs before one RaceFace wears out. Those knockoffs will start wearing out and skipping right at the bottom...
I think the Decoy comes with the shock a bit under tuned for mid-stroke support. This leads to pedal strikes or a harsh ride. Once I replaced my shock with a DVO Topaz, things were much much better. Since the Decoy has a progressive suspension, setting up the shock with a more linear spring...
I too have had no issues driving in pouring rain with my Decoy on a hitch rack. I do take the battery off and clean the contacts after a long drive in the rain
at your weight, take all but one of the tokens (volume reducers) out of the right leg. I'd open up the high speed and low speed all the way open (towards the minus sign on the dial). Put your rebounds at their fastest. Then, see how it rides with 55 lbs of air.
Cool, just the answer I was looking for. I wanted to partially charge my decoy when I'm at my car taking a lunch break. The local bike park I'm at right now is hot. An hour lunch in the AC cooled car while charging should give me an extra 20% and allow me to use boost when I'm tired.
I can expand here.
The smashpot WILL NOT work on the E36 because of the internals.
If you want to go coil (I highly recommend it. I have on my Decoy), you can go with the Mazocchi Z1 coil also. It's $750 USD.
