Genuinely interested because i'm 6'4" and the Large feels awesome to me. I wonder if i would benefit even more by going XL
Bit late to the party but I'm 5'10" tall on a large and it doesn't feel like a big bike, I could easily handle a longer bike but I'm not sure if I want or need to... I don't have gorilla proportions before anyone asks.
I'm due an upgrade this year and I'm torn between the Tues CF Pro and the Sender CF 7.0, the Tues has a slightly better spec but I'm unsure if the poor tyre clearance(on the chainstay) and flexy rear end is any better with the Carbon frame?
does any one know what springs come with the l size frame in the boxxer and vivid? and if i want to upgrade to the air spring does this kit fit? https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/rock-shox-solo-air-upgrade-kit-boxxer-2011-2014-257219

Red and 250lbs. Yes it does, fit to any boxxer models from 2011 to nowadays.
Has anyone here tried the CCDB Air on the Tues? A lot of re-sales of these right now, some are coming really cheap, and I haven't seen real comparisons to X2.
How much time did it take from the order being paid to getting shipped for everyone else? I got the tracking number and now im just waiting for the bike to be shipped
Hi, I recently replaced the coil on my Tues changing the stock 250lb coil to a 300lb. I have been out on the bike twice since changing the coil and noticed that the coil had been rubbing against the body removing the paint. So I took the coil off and put some bike tap round the area that had been rubbed and after the next ride it looks like the tape is already failing. I've been riding the bike for 7-8 months before changing the coil and there was no issue. Any ideas on why this happening? Image below:

Issue is coil deflection, can happened especially on long eye to eye shock. You will find some similar issues earlier in this thread. Ask Rock shox for a coil replacement.

I have a Tues AL with a Kage. I have 3 different Coils and all of them do this. Just like you I tired tape at first and it failed after 1 day of riding. I've tried a few different things but the only thing that seems to work is covering the body of the shock with the smooth part of some velcro. Since I put that on I have not had any issues (2 months if every day park riding). Just be sure to put the velcro stripes on along the shock body (don't wrap them around!). If you wrap them around the coil will catch the edge of the velcro where the two pieces join and ripp it away. Sorry if that was confusing but I don't know how to explain it better.

Have the same problem with my Vivid. Will try that; thanks !

Same issue with my Vivid. I used the soft side of Velcro as well. The Velcro shows some wear after a full season. But, the shock body has been safe. I will probably re apply for next season.
