sudochuckwalla Added a reply to Öhlins TTX22M.2 stroke reduction spacers
4/24/2026 12:43pm I think the only situation would be if hitting the bottom out bumper early prevents a frame clearance issue. there are certainly bikes out there that cannot accept a longer stroke due to clearance. No idea if OP is in that scenario though. In my experience though an extra 5mm of stroke is generally fine. OP would just want to...

4/23/2026 4:02pm I would hit up someone who services them and see if they have any. For example a while back I bought an ohlins coil from full flow in auburn: https://www.fullflowsuspension.com He only had a different stroke size in stock but said he could easily change it, so he must have had the spacers in stock.

4/15/2026 11:16am Agreed that's an odd choice to do the built in chain guide. My personal preference is to use a bash guard only, but one that mounts to all 3 tabs for extra strength. I haven't had a dropped chain from the chainring in like 5+ years, so for me they are more trouble than they are worth. Dunno if you...

3/31/2026 4:00pm I think they just bumped the fork to 160 and use the piggyback genie shock. Otherwise the frame seems to be the same. Someone can correct me if there's more to it.

AndehM Liked a reply to forum topic Chainstay Gang - Mount up
2/9/2026 9:07am Poll misses the point of the long chainstay discussion. It's more that they don't grow proportionately with reach as frame sizes increase. I ride medium bikes, so a common 440mm CS for me is paired with a 450-460mm reach, and makes for a nicely balanced FC:RC ratio.

2/6/2026 8:41am that seat angle looks reasonable, could this be a replacement for the spire as well? similar to the bottlerocket be a single crown or dual crown bike?

1/24/2026 12:03pm Mondraker is cutting it pretty close if they ship a 2.8 coil with a 70mm travel shock. Get the 3.25 coil as recommended by Fox, it has no impact on bike geometry and you won't be risking locking the coil and destroying your shock (and consequently your body) during a bottom out event with a few extra turns of preload.

1/20/2026 11:35am Thank god. I was shopping for bars and stems but just didn’t feel like there were enough options. This might just be the perfect one.

1/16/2026 8:31am I love the smell of a dusty redwood forest in the summer. I may be in the minority in that my favorite riding conditions are the dry summer months.

sudochuckwalla Added a reply to Transition Spire Angleset suggestion
1/6/2026 3:37pm I just set up my spire with the 1.5 angle adjust headset from works. Haven't had a chance to ride it yet as its been pretty rainy lately. Bouncing around in street though it felt easier to corner and less wheel flop, which makes sense. I'll try to remember to post here after I get a first proper ride on...

10/5/2025 3:31pm From what i understand, Kashima coating isn't exactly a cheap process, so why use it if they are working on something new internally?

7/30/2025 10:19am Looking at the Sentinel, adding 20mm of stack via stem spacers shortens the reach by 10mm - effectively putting the handlebar position in the same spot it would be on the Titan... Also, being able to get about a 15mm longer chainstay on the Titan makes a big difference to f/r balance meaning you don't need to ride over the front as much. This makes the bike fit 'bigger' - at least looking at it from standing over the bike. Seated position would be another ballgame.

7/30/2025 10:17am Adding stack does effectively add reach, because you would use less spacers to get the same bar height. Said another way - If you have two bikes with the same reach and head tube angle but one has a higher stack, that one will have a longer front-center.
