So I picked up a cheap 27.5" ZTTO rear wheel just to test it.
Bike park day comes around, I swap the rear wheel, leave everything else basically the same...
Completely different bike.
Not the neatest job but right now not really worried (first time doing a carbon repair)
. Bit devo guys!
Basically, you tilt the bike 90 degrees or more forward (leaning on the front wheel) and then even further back, almost upside down. This usually causes any water in the frame or stays to come out of the pivots on the stays or on the rocker arm.
Since your rear triangle is solid, it may be a different story there but hopefully this helps. Let us know if you do find any way to drain the water other than removing the BB, whether it’s this or something else….
Just got the initial paint proofs back from Katie at Carbonda. Zooky, I appreciate you taking the plunge first. At 100 kg, I should be able to give you some idea of durability though am really just getting started with local enduro runs and tend to shy away from huge drops and jumps. I went with pastel orange. Maybe a little lighter in color than I was envisioning but I think it'll look good with some dirt on it. Will keep you posted.
Dood, is that a 180mm shred sled?
There’s a somewhat similar issue with the FM1002 (and I assume 1001) where if you rinse off the bike, you have to tilt it really far both forward and backward to drain water out of the linkage and frame from the pivot points. I wonder if it’s possible to get water out of the FM1003 the same way or the only option really is to remove the BB (which is obviously not great).
