Hey Evan! Instead of using chemical removers or your finger on sticky removal, you can buy a rubber buffer for a drill and it works a charm! They use them in the automotive industry and they won’t destroy your paint if you get a good one! No nasty chemicals and no finger blisters

There is a simple solution for this, not the best but a straightforward one. Since RockShox (RS) uses Axis on their dropper, why not lock up both suspensions when the dropper is at full extension, and open up both suspensions when the dropper is down? Think about it; it makes sense. You pedal when your dropper is up, and before entering a gnarly section, you drop the seat. So all they have to do is sync the dropper and the shocks.

Sick video. But those foam rings that go under the wiper seals when servicing the fork lowers. You are supposed to soak in fork oil, whatever weight goes in the lowers. This will keep the stanchions lubricated. For the press fit bottom bracket, don’t use grease, that can cause a lot of creaking, as press fits are known for. Instead use the park tool retaining compound and adhesive primer. Put the primer on the inside surface of the bike and then apply the retaining compound to the bottom bracket and press it in. This will create a much stronger bond than just grease and will prevent any creaking.

They were soaked. The new oil Rockshox recommends is clear. And I've yet to find a BB that can withstand riding in the rain, so I've had to replace bottom brackets several times a year. No point in using green loctite to basically glue it in when I know I'll have to remove it in 3 months

I tried flight attendant on a giant trance x and the suspension blew me away. It worked so good that it felt like the best of having a hardtail and a full suspension bike because it was supportive when it needed to and opened up immediately during the rough stuff and a big landings. It was very intuitive and it was pretty much invisible in operation for the most part. I know what it's doing and I can feel what it's doing when it's doing it but it responds so fast that it just feels amazing.

I jut saw an AXS dropper new ranging from 389 to 449 the other day, so 400 might be a tough sell. The ones I saw didn't have much drop though just 50-75mm of drop. Oh, and yes to a part 2 of this rebuild.

How dose the suspension approach drops? Im guessing fully open?
@EvansMTBSaga
@EvansMTBSaga 16 күн бұрын
It can adjust within 5 milliseconds. So if it's a smooth take off, the suspension will be a little more stiff. But it can tell you're floating through the air and fully opens to prepare for the landing

Evan, I would love to see something like the hardtail quest again, but with dual suspension, mtb's.

It’s kind of the season for mountain bike so I could see that bike selling for 4500 and if it doesn’t then part it out but it’s a cool bike it doesn’t need to be taken apart yet

Frame has undersized bottom bracket, poor spin test. Sram BB tolerates 40.95-41mm. Can be fixed by hooning the BB frame shell with a driller and a special tool. Hambini has some vids about bike issues, if youre in engineering behind.

Great video. I love YT. I just got a Decoy for less than 5k with ohlins suspension. The bike is literally half the price of my non ebike stumpy Evo. I plan on only buying YT moving forward

I used clear Shoe Goo to glue mine back on my Tues. A little goes a long way so don't go crazy.

I ended up using E6000 adhesive, I bet its similar to Shoe Goo. I used a ton, like half the tube haha. But I wrapped it tight with an inner tube to get it to stick. There was a little bit of squeeze out but that was easy to remove. Follow up video dropping tomorrow!

@@EvansMTBSaga yeah for sure man you’d be fine I ride a V2 megatower there and I’m plenty comfortable and my other buddy rides his Hightower there comfortably. From watching your videos as far as skill level Im sure you’d have an absolute blast man that place is wicked! There’s a reason majority of U.S Pro DH riders ride there. A blue trail there is borderline double black anywhere else I’ve rode and Windrock has to have the steepest trails stateside. Be sure to bring your full face and some pads haha
