jasbushey Added a reply to SRAM Eagle chain longevity is impressive

So a little bit of research on the sites shows nope, Wolftooth and Oneup don't make anything for 12 speed, yet. I'd like to think they would soon, or that Sram would offer replacement cogs, which currently I do not see. Here's hoping they actually figure a way out for the consumers to not go broke. At $195 for GX...

Hey @dstucki. Good responses. I don't have eagle, but going to upgrade to a bike with one in the spring. I have a few questions. One the X01 or GX Eagle cassettes, can you swap the 50t out for a replacement ring, similar to what you can do with with a Wolftooth or Oneup cog on the 11 speed X01...

I am saying to stay away from 26" wheels because most manufacturers do not make 26" anymore. Basically its dead and has switched to 27.5. Sounds like that is a better option for you. The stance seems like a better option. Its almost 7 years newer, uses 27.5 wheels. As for suspension, if you are dealing with a bike that...

Anything you get is going to be a massive upgrade I'd guess. You need to determine how much you want to spend, that would help on determining what you should go for. The bikes you brought up are 400-$1100 range, a massive difference, and the yeti is back from 2010, the BMC, no idea the year. The Stance is the...

Thats interesting. Hes basically exactly the same size as me, but sized up to a medium (they list 5'6" to 5'8" on the altitude). I pedaled the medium around and it wasn't terrible, but felt long still. Haven't been on the small yet, but it has a shorter TT length than others. But sizing up is enduro, so I'm not reading into it much.

I've been tinkering a lot with my suspension lately. I wanted to get other peoples thoughts or opinions of what they are running. Seeing the MRP ramp, it makes it interesting to see a few new ideas. I do realize rear suspension will be different on different bikes leverage ratios, so take that with a grain of salt. But the...

I read this as with the same PSI, at Max, it takes the same amount of force to get 2/3 the way through the travel as 2 tokens. But it takes less force to get through the first 1/3 of the travel, or just a bit less force than with 1 token. So in laymens, I think this would actually provide better small bump, but the same mid force. I just moved from 2 to 3 spacers on my bike, and found that I needed to reduce the air volume to maintain the same small bump, but I'm finding the...

I actually don't believe this is the case now that I look at it. Through the mid stroke the ramp up seems steeper, meaning more support. So it seems to start out like it has no tokens (easier to depress), then mid stroke ramps up like it goes from 1-2 tokens, then finishes with 3 or more. I deleted my previous comments, because thats how I read it, and if so, makes sense to me to work that way.
