received an answer from Kona Tech and just wanted to let you know, in case anyone wonders whether the fork needs to be set up according to Rock Shox specs:
So basically, Setting 2 as shown in the pic I've posted is recommended by Rock Shox. Another member then wrote:
"hi, i just went trough this thread looking for something else and now i read this. i´ve got a 2011 operator and my fork was set up showed in setting one when i bought it. does that mean i was using the fork for a whole summer and it was not set up correct when i got it from my bike-dealer?
if that is the case then in my opinion there is a serious problem with nearly all dealer´s and how they set up the forks in operators. a friend of mine got a 2012 operator and it is also (when setting two is really the correct way) set up completly wrong.
thanks for your help on that."
... and Kona Tech answered:
"Yes you should always set your bike & fork up per the manuals. "
Im looking at getting the 2011 model, what size should I get I am 5"10/11
Take the medium frame. I'm 6''1 and the large frame feels a bit long (but manageable).
In action:
You Swiss must have a great time out there!! So jealous. Some of those edges to the left at the beginning look dangerous as hell! A stray crash or two out there may be your last haha. Nice vid.
im very tall, 6'6'' im ride a large flatline and is ok but not perfect. Do you think a large operator is good for me???
i'm 6'9" and ride a large with 60mm truvativ direct mount stem. i wish it was an inch longer cockpit, but its close enough to ride really hard. you at 6'6" should be perfect with the longer stem.
the large operator has the longest reach on any production bike in the world this year, so if its not big enough, YOU are too big.
