Formula MOD Shock - Nov. 15, 2022, 1:53 a.m.

I don't know if its the bike kinematics. I have the same weight as Ryan, and run my MOD with a 450 spring and I am very happy.

Formula MOD Shock - Nov. 9, 2022, 12:59 a.m.

I have a MDE Damper (beautiful Italian stallion) with a yoke. MDE sells their bikes with Formula MOD from the factory. I don't know what to think about that. Italian bike manufacturer sells Italian shock that is not allowed for the type of shock mount. Is now no problem or not?
As for my short (1.5 year) experience, there is no issue so far.

And yes, the screeching in lock-out mode makes me wince every time. It sounds as the shock is about to break down.

I ride a 450 coil and I can confirm the coil rub on the damper body as well. So it's not just with the heavy one.

But I like the MOD, as well as the Formula Selva C (coil) in the front.

Check the discussion of Andrew Major, khai and myself a bit further up about light mounts...

I hope you and your bike are ok after your smash.

True that about the discussion.

I have a Kali Maya and I love it. The light mount there is on top of the visor (yes a very old 1st generation). I just need to tighten the neck retention a little and then I have no issue with the weight.

So for me I don't see an issue with the light on top of the head, apart from the light angle (as I am not aware of this issue, I will test this with the bar mountet light).

In addition to the breakaway force of a zip tie, the installation on the chinbar also worries me because of the proximity to the throat and chest/collarbone.
I assume that Kali has put some thinkin in the light mount regarding the breakaway force.

@ khai: I did some digging. Pic of the Kali mount

@Andrew Major: Interesting, I did never think about the influence of the mounting hight of the lamp.
But speeking about safety. I think the chin mount will be much more of an issue in an accident than the Kali mount. I think the breakaway with a zip tie will not really work.

Kali has a light mount for the Invader.

Min-Max: Daniele's 2013 MDE Carve - April 29, 2022, 5:38 a.m.

As it is "born in the Alps" it is for ups and downs.

I have one for one year now, and I am very happy. The steep STA is so much better than the slack one I had on my old bike.

Further, the linkages are all fixed to the seat tube, it would be very comlicated to change the STA.

Shimano SLX Four-Piston Brake Review - Sept. 1, 2020, 12:26 a.m.

With this statement: "I’ve not had a single brake make it through a six month test period without some change in feel, until now."

How do you compare the Cura 4 to the SLX 4?

Shimano SLX Drivetrain Review - Aug. 26, 2020, 5:01 a.m.

Was thinking the same.

Don't you loose some leverage compared to a 175? Or is this a misconception?
