Where do you ride locally? You can have a sit on mine if you're close by.Thanks bud. South Wales I'm based
Don't worry you'll be in and out in a weekend .Some more experience to share, that may be of interest to those that were between sizes and went up a size. I went up from a L to XL, as the L was slightly short on reach and too short on seat stay length (I hit min insertion depth for the dropper post with the 165 cranks when I tested it). So I went for the XL, but always felt it was perhaps 10mm too long in the reach. So, I saw these ethirteen plus 35 stems in the 40mm length, on offer on the ethirteen UK website at £36 down from £90 rrp. The stem that came with the bike is 50mm length and also around 15-20mm rise (I always felt that rise was excessive and not needed). Anyway, I’ve fitted the new stem and, apart from the colours being a great match to the carbon/gold bike scheme, it‘s made the bike ride exactly how I’d hoped. I now feel fully balanced on it and it has‘t moved weight off the front wheel, as the rise drop has more than counteracted the loss of 10mm in reach length; I actually feel I have slightly more weight over the front now.
In summary, if you were on the size fence and went up, I’d highly recommend giving this mod a go (especially whilst ethirteen are nearly giving these stems away).

Now for the sucky news, I’m in for a right knee ACL reconstruction op this week, so this was my last ride until next spring. An old injury that really needs fixing before my knee completely destroys itself, so it is what it is.

Straight to dons then to get them wrapped hopefully get out the week after.
Kiox 400C dimensions are 45 x 86 x 20 mm, and system controler: 28 x 88 x 27, so adapters are different.Looks like the standard adapter what’s already fitted on the cubes?
I've read somewhere that yes it makes the Kiox 400 redundant so on that basis I'm sticking with the 400 and not getting the 400c. The bar mounted one works well enough for me.I take it this makes the bar mounted display redundant? Does that need unplugging and disconnecting from wherever it’s plugged into?
have funNew pedals to further support offsetting the low BB.
I'm off to the French Alps in a couple of weeks so I'm very excited about taking it on some proper long Alpine trails.
I did try and fit a Fidloc 750ml compact bottle but it didn't fit on my medium frame, pretty gutted about that.

Mine was like that, I needed to reseat it thats all.I think I've asked this before but my headset "cover" doesn't fit flush or "level". I've just switched to the slacker setting ahead of my alps trip and couldn't get it flush when I clamped it back together.

How you guys feel on the slx vs tm version?
Most def how you feel the xt brakes compare to the mt 7
I look forward to the results! Keep us updated.Just purchased a DHX coil for my cube. It’s going to be interesting to compare my air shock to this. It’s my first ever coil so I’ve got some learning to do.
FFS, I can’t get it to seat properly. There’s no movement in the headset, all runs smoothly, just won’t seat. Grr.Mine was like that, I needed to reseat it thats all.
