DPX2 rebound slows with the first few clicks but then seems like the adjuster doesn’t do anything after that. Full slow is maybe a click shy of where I’d like it and isn’t nearly as slow as other shocks I’ve had. Am I missing something?
Do you know what the tune ID is?Quote:

I'm going back to Wheels Mfg with their angular contact bearings, but given my track record at destroying bearings, I'll re-press the CC and keep it as a spare. And I should probably learn to repack headset and BB bearings.Quote:

What do I need to know for buying a new RaceFace Cinch chainring for a non boost bike?
Cinch refers to the attachment system for installing a direct mount ring to Race Face cranks. Available from many different brands, Race Face, OneUp Chromag, Absolute Black etc.Quote:

When they are designed for Boost they have a 3mm offset. You do not want one of them.
Thanks Dee.
Talk me through this: purchase probably t-6 weeks. Looking for a short travel 29er.
I have an sb165 I use for lapping Bellingham, tiger, raging, etc (areas with big tech but lappable), non adventure riding so to speak.)
And a steel HT 27.5+ with 130 fork I use for foul weather, winter, mud and just fooling around.
Looking for to complement those with something for long days in the saddle, adventure high alpine type stuff (not bike packing), maybe a couple 25-30 mile races a year
Epic evo
New Hei Hei
Revel Ranger
Spur
Ripley
The two currently speaking to me are the hei hei and epic evo and both seem somewhat available-ish,
Then probably tie between Spur and ranger - both seem unobtainable right now
Then the ripley- not sure where ibis is at with production
The Spur I like in theory, and it’s damn sexy but it seems a little long and low and less playful which doesn’t seem like the right complement to my big bike which despite the small wheels is still more towards the brute force and straight line type fun
The ripley seems well loved but also kind of vanilla?
Ranger is a touch heavier, but that might not matter, also some have said the complexity and amount of pivots is asking for trouble?
Anyway, I’m just thinking out loud, has anyone rode multiple of these and can compare? Or maybe even 3-4?!
Thx
If you end up looking for a Ranger, I’ve got a large X01 kit in the shop.
Can only speak to the Rascal, but with about 800 rugged miles on one since late last summer, I haven’t had any issues whatsoever with pivots/hardware. The assembly quality of the frames is top notch.

I have a spur, great bike. Probably would have bought a Ripley prior to spur's release if it had been obtainable. I did demo one and liked it. Both bikes felt similar to me. Haven't ridden a Ranger but demo'd a Rail and Rascal last year and liked both. I was able to pick up a spur pretty quickly calling around to shops that carry transition. Transition has been fulfilling shop orders over direct customer orders so sometimes shops get bikes in that are not spoken for.
I don't think you could go wrong with any of those options. FWIW I plan to use the spur for light-ish duty bikepacking in addition to the high alpine/adventure ride type stuff. It's already proven itself great for those days. Only issue I've had is this bike can and wants to go fast so I end up blowing myself up on rides. On the old Mojo and hard tail I'd just plug/spin along at slower pace all day.
Based on my experience with a Ripmo, I'd strongly recommend the Ripley.
However, based on my experience with Canfield's suspension, I'd strongly recommend the Revel.
Banshee Phantom built light would be a perfect long day bike for Western WA if your not afraid of alloy. Available locally.

Add the new all-carbon GG Trail Pistol to the mix.... and it will actually be available in the next 6 weeks (5-7 according to their website).Quote:

I haven't ridden the Ranger, but I've ridden the Revel Rascal and absolutely loved the CPF suspension design... so I'd assume the Ranger is a lighter, smaller version of that bike. Which is awesome.
In 6 weeks will you be wishing you bought a bike 4 weeks ago? [emoji12]
What do people think of 11 sp YBN chains? I saw an article that looked legit claiming they had some of the highest longevity for both elongation and roller wear ...
GG is pulling parts from existing stock. The wait is for them to build the frame.Quote:

Haven't ridden any Revel bikes but what I read about the CBF platform sounded good enough to take a flyer on it. Didn't consider the Epic Evo because it has an S on the front and I'm one of those guys. Building it with the SID suspension for starters but will probably throw the 130 fork from my hardtail on it to see how it behaves with that.
Same as you I've got a 27.5+ hardtail and a V2 Bronson so this was a bike to compliment the current stable.
Anyone know if there’s a difference in the m8100 and m8120 non-drive side crank arms, or is the difference all in the drive side?
The M8100/8120/8130 crankset can interchange the left side arms.Quote:

Rebound cap on Fox 38... does it screw or come straight off?
