A hairdryer on high heat while working the hose can take kinks out.

Cool, I needed this tip. Thanks!

The Specialized Enduro Expert on the left is the wife's.Hers is pretty much stock at the moment but we did change out the Specialized command post for the KS Lev. Future upgrades could/would be bars,stem and maybe….well who knows. Tubeless will likely be in the near future too.

Mine was a last minute thing, so using parts I already had were high on the list.

Specialized S-Works frame.
Marz 55 RC3 Ti fork
Mavic SX wheelset with tubeless Specialized Control Butcher and Purgatory
Avid XO Trails 7"/6"
Sram XO cranks(wicked ebay deal) 39/26. I have a NSB spider on order so a 34/22, although not 100% yet on the combo
X9 drive train with XT 11-36 cogset with a clutch rear D
Thomson Elite stem with Easton Havon bars
KS Lev post

Karaleen's bike came in at 29.02 and mine hit 29.9

Strange that the gear housing hits the crown. Your shifters are angled down quite a bit, maybe that's it?.

I think he means the fork dials hit the housing if you turn far enough

Here is my 650B Spitfire again. Had the Opportunity to switch Frames with a german Guy who felt not really comfortable on the Large - I was a bit unsure if Medium was the perfect Size for me (180/181 cm Tall with 84/85 cm Inseam). So we phoned and made it happen. Nothing new, except large Frame and -0,5 Deg Angleset instead of -1 Deg on the Medium.

My new bike, got it about a week ago.

Norco sight with old 26" wheels, mostly stock except for…
Rockshox Reverb
Blackspire Twinty 2X chain device
50mm Thomson stem and Chromag OSX bars
DMR Vault pedals.
Schwalbe front tyre.

I'm thinking about geting one of those Blackspire guides. Have you had a chance to get a few rides on it? Curious to know how the slider works versus a roller. Have you hit it on anything yet?

so far my der guide is nice. a little bit of noise at first but it is quickly quieting down. I'm down with sliders.

I haven't smashed my whole 215 pounds onto the taco yet, but it's taken some glancing blows with no complaint.
