Did you customize the BB height too when choosing to go for a custom geo? If not, what is your experience with the quite high BB of this bike?

Yes. There is a long discussion about that problem on all Shimano brakes at a German forum (MTB-News.de). Lot's of people solved the problem with Putoline HPX 2.5. The problem is viscosity related I guesss.

Try Putoline HPX 2.5 as break fluid instead of Shimano mineral oil. It mostly solves the problem.

Hey folks, I am a long time reader of Vital MTB and due this topic I am now doing my first post. I am riding for more than 20years and do like for sure more the way down than up. I am not a sceptical person - I do ride 29" for several years now for enduro use which is/was quite unusual for here. Vital MTB is one of my favorit sites but this audio made me feel angry and alone. So, why? 1) It is not like 29er Many people say that a eMTB is theoretically the same change...

Ok, that's a no-go for doing bike & hike (carrying the bike on the shoulders).

What happens when you turn the bike head around? Do you have to press the bleed-button afterwards?

Good and extensive review, but one of the best posts is missing: Vecnum Moveloc. It weights 560 grams with hardware and has 200 mm of extension, simple construction, full mechanical, no bleeding, ecc. My personal 1st place. :-D

You could try the Vecnum Moveloc 200. I have the same frame, same size and the Moveloc dropper post is fantastic! What's your HA with the fork set at 160 mm and the offset head set?

Yes, indeed :-/ Maybe it's simple not profitable for such a small company. In the meanwhile there are lot of similar bikes from other brands available.
