Which Headset is Perfect for my Nukeproof Mega TR 275 (2015) Frame (Headtube Da: 44mm) ? My Forks Steerer is 1.5 Straight.

As per Nukeproof's Advice Warhead 44EEOS Headset Stockout from Chainreaction.
Any Alternative headset available?

Is there some one who knows what color the stripes on the scout 275 black and lime 2017 frame, I think it's a yellow neon, but I'm really not sure

I'm not so feel free to ignore me...But I did spend quite a bit of time trying to find the perfect shock setup on the Mega (290).

At the time I was using a HV can with no volume reducers set to around 25% sag to keep it up in the mid stroke. This was as good as it got with the HV for me.
Now I'm on a different bike but having the same issues as I had with the Mega (lack of midstroke). I've found that the same idea works well (lower sag and full volume) with the Debonair shock im currently using to provide some midstroke. The only difference is the Debonair's large negative chamber seems to take a bit more sting out of the top stroke when running lower sag.
If I went back to a Mega now the first thing I'd try would be a Debonair, full volume and 25% sag.

Cheers, I'm running 30% sag with 2 bands in at the moment but thinking of adding more bands.

Ditto for the Debonair, I did better with the HV but I'm over 100kgs

Has anyone removed the bottom frame bearing on a 2016/17 Pulse? I tried inserting hex wrenches on botch sides and then turning in opposite directions (just like on the upper bearings), but it won't budge. When I insert a hex wrench on one side and turn it, everything moves freely. Does it sit VERY tightly or is there another way to do this? I'd rather ask first than destroy something Smile

Put a pipe on each Allen key for extra leverage, it should come undone

How do you all honestly feel about mega 290's ability in tighter trails?

I'm on an XL and I would say its the wheelbase (1246mm) not the bike/geometry that can be an issue.

Provided I ride correctly I don't have an issue. At very low speeds it is tricky if you stall. The flip/flop feel of slack long travel steering does not seem as prevalent as many suggest
