Has anyone found a good washer to replace the taco blade so the spacing is correct?

I just put 4 very thin washers on mine to get the spacing right. That is before I took it off completely.

IMO, I'd rather have a taco blade running underneath for a bashguard rather than the chain watcher up top. With the N/W chainring, there is almost no need for the chain watcher. Been running a N/W 1x10 setup with a clutch rear der on my Enduro Evo on the mountains and never had any issue with the chain coming off. That's just my 2 cents.

Taco blade doesn't hold a bash guard, nor a upper chainguide. It is for a front derailleur mount.

You can use your ISCG mounts for a bash guard if you wanted one.

Thought he was talking about the chain watcher that bolts onto the ISCG tabs that comes stock on the Stumpys

I brought my Stump Humper to the shop to have a pivot bearing replaced and the mechanic installed an alloy spacer and took off my Taco-blade. They must stock the spacers and get them from Specialized, because they didn't charge me for it.

New to the forum...great site and info. Found it while putting in my order for a 2016 Stumpy Elite 650b- can't wait to see how it rides compared to my complete opposite Fuji 29er hardtail!

Hey Crushinit, may I ask is there any reason that you've chosen 2016 Stumpy over others? I having really hard time to make the decision between Trance Adv 2 and Stumpy alloy version.

I've had my eye on a Stumpy for some time but I went with the Elite because of the upgraded components like the hubs/wheels, pike, and the 1x. I wanted the swat and carbon but for 500 more I couldn't pass up the components.

Well, got the new ride in today. Decided I have to have some sidewall protection so I went with Maxxis High Roller II in the front and an Ardent in the rear. Also ordered some RaceFace Atlas pedals I'll be installing tomorrow. Can't wait to ride tomorrow!

Who has ridden it? Is anyone able to provide details on the redesign?

Hi mate. Just bought the 2016 Stumpjumper FSR Comp 650B in lary green. It's the entry level one with the alu frame and it is absolutely awesome. Got it last tues so only done about 5 hrs on sat but I was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

The rear shock has a 'easy set up' or whatever they call it but it's a little soft for my liking so might pump it up a bit but I'm trying it for a few weeks to see if I get used to it. Bottomed the front forks out on some jumps and it didn't bat an eyelid. Seriously capable machine.

The dropper post is a bit squeaky but I think it's just cause it's new.

TL;DR - buy one you won't be disappointed.

So guys I've been reading all your posts and there are some interesting comments. I currently have a Kona process 153 and I would like to think I ride it pretty hard on everything dh, jumps, trails, big alpine the lot. The Kona has a 65 head angle and comparative chain stays with the stumpy. My questions are these? Does the stumpy feel like it can take a beating? How does it feel with a 160 pike? Is the 67 head angle noticeable? I'm just a bit worried it'll be too steep. Thanks

Ok i just got lovely stumpy from my local bike shop but its missing the chain tool in the headset/stem and it also had the multitool under the top tube missing too?
Ihad to argue my case in the shop that i was lead to believe it was meant to be included.on this bike.
They said its only on the top of the range models, but i said check the spec online to see if that is the case...they said no it don't acually say even on the top models if they are included either..i don't see that i should pay extra for these pieces of kit that i was lead to believe where part of what ive already paid for .
Who is right??...mines the dark blue comp carbon 650b model ..they said they'd check with specilized on monday...any of you guys had a similar problem on this particular stumpy model or others...thanks

I was bummed that the comp carbon camber didn't come with it but then I stuck my multi tool that has a chain tool in the swat box.
