Mateo Cuesta what do you mean by "running stealthy" dont understand

Mateo Cuesta he fixed the chain slapping noises

+yeti lover I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one of those. How are you getting along that chain slapping the guys were referring to?.. The chain is right on top of the chainstay..

+skypiratez im running a 30 on the front as its hilly where i live (luckily) so yes the chain is VERY close in top gear. Its only really in that gear on road transitions. However id say the noise is more to do with it being a holo carbon frame. Though its less noisy than other carbon bikes I've had. Now as for pulling the trigger? BANG!!

+skypiratez I'm using a 34t chainring, and just bought a thick chain stay protector(lezyne) and also added some lizard skins carbon frame protector sticker on the down part of the seat stay! NO CHAIN SLAP AT ALL! At least I don't hear any noise, but made those adjustments because of all these comments on reviews and the fact that the chain does run very close to the chain stay on the hardest gear. Hope this helps! GET ONE

I just bought a 2018 insurgent from wrenchscience.com. It should arrive here on monday. Did you ever get one?

Is the frame durable planning on getting the same model... but second hand

+tom rafter Haha no, but it kinda looks like him. Contrary to the way they play it though Dan actually started on mountain bikes so if it was him I wouldn't have been too surprised.

Agree with James. When you purchase upgraded wheels along with the bike, they're usually discounted. Plus, lets take into account that it's on top of at around $1k worth of wheelset that's on the bike configured at $6700. In regards to "impressively light" ... well, it's a Large ... very stiff, DH tailored bike that's good for a bike park. Needless to say, stiffer frame means more material hence more weight. Given the fact that it is FULL enduro/all mountain bike geared more so towards gnarly descends, @ 29lbs (with pedales), it's "impressively light" :) ... I think they make this comment considering what the bike is geared towards. I think they're comparing the bike to a DH/bike park bike. I have found several sub 27 to 27.5lb small size Evil insurgents out there. I would compare this bike full Enduro bikes ... I don't think you're going to find too many full enduro bikes under 28-29lb (that's assuming you're looking at a size small/med).

Pukki34 what

my carbon renthal bars have taken several crashes and still remain true and strong without any damage. Carbon is the way to go it's a lot stronger than you think

windsurfer912 oh i know its strong much stronger than steel but its also susceptible to damage easier than aluminum or steel if it gets dinged then it needs mending or replacement asap

+tasteegold7772 I see where your concern is. But for instance the Renthal bars have this special military glue paint job that basically protects the carbon from most damage. Heck if Riche Rude uses these bars without failure I'll use em to haha!

warranty.

tasteegold7772 Carbon is stronger, stiffer, and vibration reducing.

Must like Fox new, there both propaganda.
