hope this helps..not the easiest to take a pic of...you can see where the seal has flattened a bit...doing its job?

Yeah thanks it helps a lot

can you get the 210mm one up dropper all the way down to the collar on your xl?

No. I’m about 5mm away from as far as it will go inside frame. I must point out that I am in a large frame, not XL

Any chance you can measure from the center of your BB to ur seatrails w/ the 210 dropper fully inserted?

How is it doing that Fox DPX2?

How is it doing that Fox DPX2?

DPX2 feels better than the stock RS deluxe...more adjustable too. longer stroke has just enough clearance on the seatstay bridge. Resi has a lot of room. Added travel pairs well with the 170 fork.

 

[BiGJZ74]

DPX2 was great but the DHX2 is so much better, Loving the Fox 38 as well. Finally had the Magura's installed and updated my earlier upgrade list.....unfortunately dinged the seat stay in a crash.....build complete....I think

@BiGJZ74 - could you please specify the exact size of your coil/spring? I remember you have 750 for 280lbs (like me) but what size (or link to shop item)?

@PetrD I have a 700lb x 2.65" (67mm) Fox SLS Spring. theLostCo.com has one left, I couldn't find one anywhere else. I checked 20+ sites It's a great shop based in Bellingham, WA, Fox SLS Spring , but if ur in Europe/UK...check TFTuned or the EU Fox distributors

I started with the Rail 7 XL

Upgrades:
Kiox display
Fox 38 Factory Grip 2
Fox Float X2
Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR2 tires
Ergon GA2 Grips (big hands)

Planned:
Better brakes. Not sure yet which. The stock brakes feel spongy to me no matter how well I bleed them.
AXS shifters

Overall I LOVE the bike. Haven't had this much fun on MTB in a long time. I'm not getting any younger (55) so the eMTB gives me what I used to enjoy when I was younger (longer rides) but I still get in the effort level by using Eco mode whenever possible.
