Hello Everybody

Just got my Capra CF Pro in green and L
I thought i'd let you guys know, so if anyone is struggling to decide which color, like i was, here are some pictures, maybe they can help you.

So now its here Im still gonna change the Pedals and Brakes.

The green looks not as bad as on the YT website. Its more luminous under light sunlight.

Decided to upload pictures of it since nobody has yet uploaded one of a green 2016 one. Hopefully these help somebody to help decide which colour they want to order.

The pedals are the ones from my DHer, i dont know which pedal i should get for the Capra yet. I want a pedal, that has the plattform a little bit outwards, like the DMR Vaults and NOT like the Spank Spikes. I also would like the pedals to be not too grippy, so i can change the position of my foot on it when i dont plant it right after i have to hang my foot out in a tight corner or something.
Any recommendations?

And im gonna change the brakes, dont really like the Guides. And im very very familiar with the Saints.

Nice

I'm waiting for your feelback about the 180 Fox and the rear shock

Nubie question....is there a way to tell what length of reverb dropper post was installed on a bike? Spec sheet says the bike should have a150mm, but I'm only seeing 100mm. The post appears to be functioning correctly so I want to make sure I'm not trying to service a perfectly working 100mm post.

Cheers!

I`ve got from YT a new Reverb (150MM) because mine had a problem after a year of usage. The "new" one had a similar problem. Only 100MM until i pulled it further up to 150MM. Then i done a "fresh" bleed and it still kinda remains a bit stuck around that point. But it goes now fully up. Hope it helps. Also have the speed complete open.

How is the sizing for you? I've ordered a large I'm 5ft 10 and went for the large option due to the sizing.

Looks sick by the way!

Carbon is stiffer. Carbon is in most cases more durable also. Carbon is a weave of carbon strands with a matrix of resin supporting the strands. Its like if you dip a shirt in glue so that it holds its shape. Carbon weaved frames resists bending but fails easier when you apply a point load to it. So, it will take higher loads to break if the load is one that the designer predicted the bike will go throug, such as landing off of a large drop off or plowing through a rock garden. But, if you lose ahold of your bike in said rock garden and your bike lands on its side with enough force, the rock will break through the weave of carbon fabric and create a crack. With that being said, carbon manufacturing has come a long way and so the current carbon offerings can take higher unpredicted loads without too much fear of them breaking.

Simply put, carbon will be stiffer and more durable unless you're the type of rider that crashes at speed alot! But if that's the case, you probably bend the crap out of aluminum frames consistently!

And carbon is unfortunately more noisy on the trail due to it being hollow and stiff. But, the advantages of carbon outweigh the extra noise in most people's opinion!

thanks

I agree , well said

When I went to watch the world cup at Fort Bill it was the carbon bikes which were definitely quieter, might be a coincidence...
