very excited to see all your comparison videos! Great that you actually share the weight of your builds. thanks!

Yea I have brand biasses but I also have no problem criticizing the products. At the end of the day a bike shop is only useful to a customer if they can give information and opinions about products. Other wise customers are better off just ordering online.

How did you manage to install a 3pos remote? Is it the standard Sidluxe Ultimate A1 with the 3pos remote upgrade from the Sidluxe A2 (2024+)? I have the same exact frame but 2 Pos remote. Also looking for an upgrade without buying a completely new shock

Would highly recommend dropping chainring size and change tire choice. personally will be rocking maxxis aspen 29x2.4 and a 32t chainring. i live in the area and have been rocking that setup for three seasons flat and has been flawless. running a ibis exie usa, type t transmission, previous generation sid ult/sid lux ult. ed from doom can get you in touch with me if you have specific questions, or if you wanna drop a preride with a local week of the race.
@bicyclestation 11 ай бұрын
I’m confused about the aspen choice. I figured you’d want something with more tread. I’m going drop the chain ring after everyone’s said something
@user-me9lq2pw8o 11 ай бұрын
it all comes down to handling skills. personally knowing how it rides in mqt I prefer it, but if not that I’d do a rekon race or ikon.
@michiganstate149 11 ай бұрын
Aspens absolutely suffice there. Unless it's an absolute mud fest or raining super hard the day of or before, they are great.

Love the build - That color is super cool. What saddle is that? Also, apparently the Sram level ultimate stealth 4piston brakes are supposed to be 10grams lighter than the 2piston setup. Trek claims that, and was one of the reasons the new supercaliber comes with them. Have you guys weighed them? Seems like there is no real downside to getting the 4piston setup
@bicyclestation 11 ай бұрын
I didn’t weigh them myself but I agree there’s zero downside. The last gen breaks we’re barely heavier for the extra positions. It’s a Bontrager Aeolus RSL 145

Excellent build I'm tryign to put together something similar...I wanted twist lock for both frnot and rear shock so in an effort to change the rear shock that came w/frame to this H140904-04 but it does not have cable attachment mech....how did you go about it?
@OSR_1 9 ай бұрын
Nice looking build. FYI Specialized specifically state that the Control SL should not be used with a cushcore or insert. Running that will cause problems or cracks in your rim, and you’d have no warranty as it’s invalid if you use them.
@bicyclestation 9 ай бұрын
Thoes wheels have a no questions asked warranty. If your claim got denied its because the bike shop you took ratted you out.

Way to crush that race. You crossed the line 22 seconds after me....but I did the 50. Would you have changed anything about the bike? I saw at least a handful of punctures out there. The cushcore was probably a good call.

Nice build. I ride an Epic Evo Comp in XL and thinking of upgrading to a Pro in size large. I'm 6'2" and the XL feels fine but thinking a large would be more nimble. Do you think I could ride a large at 6'2"?

I think transforms the bike into the best XC bike on the market. The open mode is really active and adding a middle compression to the bike really gives it amazing range in an XC race. You can have a really open suspension and a racing mode as well as a lockout

The reach on a large bumps up from 436 to 460 and the stack 597 to 611. I’d have to run a 50 or 60mm stem with like a crazy negative angle. I’m running the medium slammed with an 80 -12 degree stem currently. I’d have to look at your fit numbers but I’d personally never buy a large. My center of crank to saddle rail measurement is 69cm.
