Well the bike is in final assembly now, so I can't speak to how much I like it yet. The sneak peak pics Cedrick@NYX has shared with me, have me really excited.ecycler said:Sweet build. What top speed are you getting? How do you like it?

ridethelightning said:i made my own brackets from 40x80mm ss rectangular section, to suit a longer shock. its basic stuff to make, just need a drill press, angle grinder and good measuring tools.
but praps just swapping the bracket position around would help?
it does feel much more stable/speedy when you are lower to the ground, but you have to watch when you corner hard to keep the appropriate pedal up :lol:

When i first set up mine i had it at the lowest head angle possible like a downhill mtb but i found that the rear sagged too much when mashing the throttle, and my rear mud guard would hit the shock when under a heavy hit/compression.
I have heard that getting the shock as horizontal as possible is best. You may also find, as i did , that changing the geometry of the rear shock also changes the spring rate needed to achieve desired sag.
Perfect. Thanks.ridethelightning said:just adjust the current and speed limits in the power mode profiles :wink:
