He definitely said he was on a small in most recent vid on the new bike. Started medium then I presume sized down again to match old bike more closely since his old Large was like 447mm reach after his mods. Seems to have given up for now and gone back.

jaro.kopec Started a new thread lyrik from 150mm to 170mm
12/8/2021 4:07am Hello, I think I know the answer but I want to make sure if anyone has experience. I found second hand lyrik with 150mm travel, there are markings on stanchions 150/160mm for messuring sag. So my question is if it is possible to change it to 170mm. Are upper legs same length on 150/160 and 170/180 lyrik or there is...

I’m ~64 kg. I ran 450lbs spring which was more supportive but now I’m running 400lbs and I feel like I have more comfort and grip for technical and steeper trails, but if Im riding destroyed downhill track all weekend Id probably switch to 450. Honestly if you can buy two springs and try what you like better. I was riding with 450 frist and I was really happy but after trying 400 I feel it suits me bettee. Just for info 400 give me ~27% sag and 450 is ~23-24%

jaro.kopec Started a new thread is more expensive stuff worth it ?
10/21/2020 7:23pm Hello, I want to ask is more expensive stuff worth it? I know high end frames, shocks, forks etc. are worth the price, usually. I´m talking about drivetrains, rims and stuff what is more keen to destroying. Let me explain. I read and watched a lot of reviews saying NX groupsets is working great, SLX groupsets bank for the buck...

4/15/2020 11:47am solid points. I guess after reading all post from you guys, I will go for mid range gx/xt stuff and I will buy some proper wheels for sure once I destroy my current ones. Fun fuct: Today I bent SLX mech to the point of no return, It is not possible anymore to bent it to the shape where it...

4/13/2020 3:05am well, as I mentioned in first post, I ride pretty light and clean I'm not muscular beast so I can't just charge everything and I have to pick my lines, of course there are few moments when I smash and huck to flat but in day to day riding I ride pretty smooth. I get your point guys about being...

4/12/2020 12:30pm well, thank you for your opinion. But I dont get your pick two thing. I mean there is no component which is cheap and strong. I dont care about weight, but NX and SLX stuff is anything but strong, and its cheap, so? And cheap and light doesnt even exist so I dont get your point sorry. And I wont...

I've not really had any problems with any parts of the GX drivetrains and they've taken some serious hits. However I do think a good quality rim is really important. Aluminium differs greatly in strength and other mechanical properties from different types of alloys. Rims should (in my opinion) be one of the last places to save money on. I've broken 5 rims the last 3 seasons, all of whom came specced stock from the manufacturers, but I have a set of ex511's that are laced to hope pro 4's that are 3 seasons in and still going strong.
