lol that's me. I'm surprised at how many hits the vid gets.
Just shows how many people are interested in the bike I guess.
I've upgraded the forks since then. I'm now running RS Pikes with a custom sticker kit.

Sweet man, it's looking real nice! Upload more videos and I'll be watching lol. This time of year I live vicariously through others that don't have to deal with cold weather and snow.

Oh no!!! My 2016 stumpy carbon comp 650b...is getting an horrible clicky sounds coming from my bottom bracket area I think..mainly when I stand up and put the power on .
so I checked all the crank bolts and chain ring those seemed ok ..so it aint those...at first I thought it was my pedlas , so changed to some old pedals I knew were ok..same clicking noise...ive heard rumours that the press fit bb is the problem?
anyone got any simular clicking noise or has any ideas on what this could be and how to fix it...its a pain in the arse and my only gripe with the bike...thanks

Yeah I have the exact same. I'm pretty confident it'll be the pressfit BB. Think when I can finally be bothered to I'll buy one of the upgraded versions like the Raceface.

Happened to mine just a month ago and it was killing me. Check the lingkage bolts of chainstay nearrest to the bottom bracket area. It should be on the non drive side then make sure they are tight. Mine was extremely loose. All you need is to tighten them, check all linkage bolts, might as well. If you over tighten them, they will squeak as well. Basically, what I did was to try ans reproduce the sound. Mine only squeaked when I pedal, non-seated. I first suspected the BB. But for BB, I learnt that you can check by moving them side to side with hands in opposing force. It didn't. So BB was out. Then tried all crank, chainring, pedals, saddle, you name it. I've tried. None works. Then I held the left crank with 4 fingers, and align it parallel to the chainstay and placed my thumb on the chainstay to compress them towards each other. I could then reproduce the squeak easily. Lo and behold, I solved it, after two weeks of embarrassement.

I've faced a lot of issues with my stumpy comp 16. Will update here once I've compiled with pictures.

I hope this helps.

I think it is a potential parts failure, so they replace the part. Like a recall. IMO, it was announced last summer, briefly after the new model was introduced.

So I take it new ones should already have it installed?

Anyone else having trouble fitting a water bottle in the SWAT holder? My water bottle gets up really close to the shock adjustments and I am constantly worried about my bottle rubbing the shock. I have a 20oz polar bottle that's a few years old, I measured it and found it's around 9.5 inches tall just for reference.
Two months on this bike so far and I am absolutely loving my burnt orange expert, will post some pics soon!

Hey,can't say I've really encountered this. I have a CamelBak Podium 21 OZ that I use in my Comp Carbon.
Its just over 8 inches tall and has a fair amount of room to play.
Sometimes I find putting the bottle back in the holder whilst on the go a little tricky.

Love that orange on the expert keen to see pics.

Im not running into any problems, but i have a L frame and am running a specialized purist bottle. I did find that the fabric bottle doesn't work because the door has a concave shape so the tabs don't stick out enough

I ran in to the bottle issue when running a very tall bottle. It would hit the shock lever and change the setting when putting the water bottle back in the cage. Just run a shorter bottle and all good :-)
