What's the delivery date? i got my confirmed paid email at 9am this morning and then i tracked the progress on my account (you dont get tracking email) and its now on its way to me through DHL . should be here next Friday mate , thats if DHL in Germany dont work weekends and bank holiday that is as all the Pro Races are in stock i might get it in midweek if DHL work ovet the weekend getting it into the UK and passing it onto parcelforce . so after 24 hours the bike payment was sent via transferwise and comfirmed paid by transferwise witin 5 hours and this morning confirmed at 9am and at 4pm today my progress said completed and i could track it via my account , so all in all very easy and quick process . They do a 29er version now called the jeffsy and it looks exactly the same but with 29er wheels . and its cheaper www.yt-industries.com/en/cat/index/sCategory/509a video on someone riding up to 1.38 then its the the man Aaron Gwin riding it and shows how its meant to be ridden and damn i think have i made the right choice but then Aaron gwin can ride like that and i cant lol . there is actually 5 different riders in the video.

Invisframe for cosmetics, rock guardz protector to stop serious damage on the down tube near to the bottom bracket where a rock strike could pierce the carbon. It's stronger generally than alloy but more probe to damage from sharp impacts.

You doing it yourself then? Yes pal doing it myself . It's turned up and can't stop smiling . Best thing is that I ordered 2 spare mech Hangers and only one in the box but there was a set of race face atlas black pedals there so I'm not fussed . Anybody want to buy some gold renthal carbon bars ? I already have black ones and don't like the gold .

That was quick and lucky! I would still ask for the spare hanger of course and play stupid about the pedals!? Lol Yea I got to email them any way . Not happy that I got to pay a bike shop to tru the back wheel up . But wouldn't want to push it . Looks like I got someone else's box came with reverb bleed kit too along with brakes bleed kit and bleed tool for brakes . Might swap brakes over if I can find some sort of clamp for the XTR brakes and vice Versa for Guide brakes . I will give them a run out first . I've also decided to keep the cube stereo as a spare bike Will post pics up once I've done the wrap . Also so on new fox forks and shock there is no switch for ctd it's all built in . Might take it to a bike shop and get me weight with kit on and dial me in .

I'm surprised that there is no way to adjust - are you positive? that's mad for a high end fork. Can't be right.

I'm surprised that there is no way to adjust - are you positive? that's mad for a high end fork. Can't be right. You can adjust pez it's done by a 3mm and 6mm hex key to do all the settings , no climb switch , the forks are set by the dial on compression stiffness . I'm just a little upset that there is no more climb switch like a CTD would do . After all it's an enduro race bike . Reviews say once the x2 evo is set up right there is no need for a CTD . www.downhillnews.com/reviews/2015/11/10/2016-fox-float-x2-review.htmlI think I can send them off to have a climb switch on the X2 but not sure what it will cost , think 2017 will come with climb switch on x2 . It's very plush I have to say and it did feel weird riding up the road , but I don't want it to firm not to have bob . So my first ride will all be about setting it up I think . As most trails in Scotland are pretty much the same . I plan on getting a van in a couple of months so I can go further A field . Also keeping the Cube will be good too So I can swap between the 2 . Doe anybody know if there is a clamp to attach XTR brake to SRAM shifter and vice Versa ?

Yes, a new climb switch for the X2 as just arrived a few days and I think Mojo, and maybe TFT are now selling it! Quite annoying because that was the main reason why I went Float X rather than X2...I believe the 36 fork as the same adjustments as my 34's?!? same cartridge...maybe you should also think about reducing the travel to 150 and improve climbing...I would unless you are a really hard hitter and see yourself using all the travel!? I would also sell the Cube, because you won't use it! Lol...the Capra will always be too tempting!

I contacted lee from invisiframe and he said use Auto glym intensive tar remover . As it shifts excess glue residue from the frame decals too .

but your frame is new...?! surely doesn't need that mate?! my mate has the same bike as you...but the all black matt...did the invisiframe himself and i don't think he used anything even. looks fine...just take your time and use a small pin/needle and hairdryer to remove any possible bubbles.

Thats why he wasnt told to use auto glym as his is matt , lee from invisiframe told me to use it on mine as i got the gloss red and gloss invisiframe and gloss paint is a bugger to get the hidden grease off . just want to do it properly , popping into carlisle tomorrow to go to the gym and take the missis and kids into the town so will pop to halfrauds and get a bottle its only £6.79 on way back home .
