Tastefully done. Red Lyrik looks great on there.

I didnt really like that colour but that lyrik makes it work pretty well.

My brand new 2023 Stumpjumper EVO Expert!

The GX AXS controller fits fine with the stock grips but I like to run Wolftooth Fat Paws, with this tiny gap I know the Fat Paws won’t fit. Anyone know a way to run AXS controller with thick grips? I can’t move the assembly any further inwards on the bar because then my brake lever position would be way off… I’ve never had a combo shifter/brake assembly before!

you could try the alternate shifter paddle https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/ec-axs-rock-a1 - it might be lower profile than the stock one but i haven't tried it personally, so not sure

Buy a discrete clamp and mount it inboard of the brake.

Edit, come to think of it, I think the AXS discreet clamps mount the shifter a bit lower in relation to the bar anyway, looking at that.

I was wondering about that too. I just did a search about it and found this article: https://bikerumor.com/review-sram-eagle-axs-rocker-paddle-upgrade-installed-worth-it/

This guy is saying he had even worse clearance issues with the new rocker. But in the pics of the article it looks like maybe they have switched the little piece from the left side to the right side which would result in having both the shifter and dropper lever moved further inwards, which I would like anyways. Will have to give that a try

Great pic behind the Christmas tree! (I can still tell what it is though)

Thanks! Amazing what can be done with an iPhone camera and a little editing in mobile Adobe Lightroom

Update on this issue. I swapped the little pieces so the tabs the shifter and dropper remote screw into are now on the inside of the handlebar clamp. This actually gives me better positioning for everything and it looks like I’ll be able to run any grips I want to now. If I didn’t explain that well and if anyone is curious I can post a pic.

You could always cut a little piece off the grip where your hand doesn’t go by the shifter and rock it that way…

That’s true. But the set up I have now fits and feels great. There is like 0.5mm of clearance lol

Beautiful! How do you like the Fox 36? Ever have issues with too much grease in the negative air spring chamber? I just ordered parts and oil to do a lower leg service and pull the air spring since I’ve heard so much about the grease issue causing harshness on small bumps.

It is good to pull the lowers on a new fork and wipe the excess off, relube and reassemble, if you are capable. I really like my 36, but it is due a full service.

Looking for a small or medium 27.5 aluminum bike with 160mm-180mm of rear travel. I really want to trade (I can put some cash on top as well) for my Diamondback Release frame and Rockshox Yari fork. Below is a pic of my bike and fork. Anyone have a frame they'd be willing to part ways with? Thank you!
