Re: New Lexon spirit
I just purchased a 2023 Spark RC Team Black. I can post any info anyone might need for a comparison with the Lexon Spirit. Don't worry, I fully acknowledge buying this OEM bike at OEM prices and then upgrading almost everything on it was a dumb decision and I should have just built a FM936 or FM909. And I'm not being sarcastic about that... The price for these Scott Sparks is insane. Basically it was $5k for the bike. I ordered the following: LightBicycle XC925 Recon Pros with CXRay and Onyx Vesper hubs X01 Crankset X01 Cassette GX AXS Carbon Handlebar Transfer SL post XT 180mm rotors Take-off parts will sell for maybe $800-900. Maybe. So basically I paid $4200 for a frame/shock/fork/stem/Twin-lock... The value proposition is hard to see. But I'll see how it rides. The internal cable routing, while cool, seems like a pain in the ass. It arrived with a kinked rear brake line that impacted performance (had to pump the lever to get power even after a bleed). I'm working with the shop to get it replaced under warranty. The twin-lock seems great (haven't ridden it yet). The lock-out is full lock front, nearly locked rear. The 'traction' mode limits travel and bike rides high (low amount of sag). The full unlock mode lowers the bike into it's full sag setting. It's neat to feel the difference. (I haven't lost my way, about to order a Chinese titanium hardtail for an SS build soon.) December 23, 2022, 09:09:52 PM |

Re: Epic Evo Clone
My frame is coming Who did you order from? Both Airwolf and AWST should be sending the new lighter, revised yoke design. What they explained was shock hardware is included. We will see about that… I am awaiting someone to share their seller and their take on the build quality, but I will probably pick from one of the two! June 27, 2023, 11:44:08 AM |
