Looking good, but that's some seriously light rubber on that bike

« on: April 02, 2024, 02:20:45 PM »Waiting for you feedback on this.I don't think it's available to buy with the progressive air can. You have to purchase the shock with the linear air can and buy the progressive air can and install it yourself (very easy btw)
I saw small air can as aftermarket component, but never a Super Deluxe with small can out-of-the box. However, this is on of most promising shock without the need to modify it.

« on: April 01, 2024, 04:53:08 AM »I found the megneg on the rockshox deluxe made a huge difference. It naturally makes the shock more progressive and gives much more mid stroke support. Surprised that they didn't include this as stock on these bikesThe 2023+ Deluxe and Super Deluxe shocks don't use the old Megneg air can. You now have the choice of a linear or a progressive air can and the Detrail uses the progressive one.
I now got myself a new Super Deluxe with the progressive air can and Hydraulic Bottom Out, mainly because I wanted the separate HSC and LSC adjustments also thinking about getting it custom tuned for the 1001. I'll write something about it when I got some rides on it.

Another hint for everyone unhappy with the shock bolt. I really disliked the silver screws so I got myself a Titanium axle that came with black bolts but they were too small in diameter and I couldn't find ones that fit better.
I have now ordered the shock bolt kit for a YT Capra and while the axle itself is too long it comes with 2 bolts that can be used with the titanium axle. These bolts perfectly fit the openings on the 1001 rocker link.
Can be ordered here:

What's the opinion on 140mm vs 150mm fork on this frame? I'm thinking about getting a new fork and I'm not sure which route to go? Fox 34/Pike for 140mm or 36/Lyrik for 150mm.
How is your experience with longer forks on this bike?

Two small changes that I have made.
I've removed my Zefal downtube armor today because it didn't really stick at the edges and started to leave black marks on the paint. Replaced it with a Nukeproof Mega Alloy Downtube protector I got from wiggle, fits really well, upper part of downtube got some clear frame protection installed.
https://abload.de/img/20230909_15042756c78.jpg
Modelled and 3D printed a small flap for the main pivot gap between main and rear triangle. Had a small rock stuck in there and quite some mud on some rides that's now solved. If anyone wants to print that one as well I can provide the STL file.

Great, have fun with your new bike! Really love mine, still fiddling a bit with suspension settings but on a good way to get that set up

« on: May 02, 2023, 03:54:14 PM »That's a nice colour. I like that grey. I presume no cracking on your bike near the join of the seat stays?I have no complaints at all.
Regarding toe overlap, on my size large there is some small overlap with my size 46/47 shoes, but I didn't experience any issues so far. Nothing that would be annoying

That's the one. Fits almost perfectly, just two small adaptations have to be made at the front.

Finally first ride today, some minor adjustments to be made (brake lever angle, saddle position, one more volume spacer for the fork) but that's it. Bike feels great, size is perfect for me. Suspension also feels very good.
If anyone's interested in final specs, I can add those.

Which size is it? I'm trying to figure out if I can mount an half frame bag on a size L frame with two bottles.Frame is a size L
