Here a bad pic of my winter sled, removed the flashy rim decal for a more stealth look. I wanted to buy a brand new fork, but I ended up buying a charger 2 damper and changed all sorts of bits and pieces in the fork, super happy of the result, the fork is plusher than ever, now let's wait if the new 2018 spectral is gonna be worth replacing my bike

a little review on tha charger damper 2 ? thanks

mh so far it's super plush, probably better that the charger1 and the middle stroke seems to behave better also, it was actually so good than I actually blew out my rear carbon rim yesterday ! I'll do a report in a little while

hi anyone 5'7 on a small canyon strive ?? am just under 5'7 and not sure wether to go small or medium , the canyon pos thing says small but i normally ride m frames ! thx

Yes 5'7" on a small strive. Feels quite compact when seated climbing because of the steep (virtual) seat tube angle, but feels perfect when descending. At 422mm reach its pretty close to mediums in a lot of other brands (Yeti, Specialized, YT, Santa Cruz and Intense). Only Giant, Mondraker have longer smalls IIRC.

This has been done a few times on the forum mate if you have look back. My recommendation is to go for the Enduro brand. Mine been in ages and still going strong.

Stock bearings are crap and fully exposed. Just the bearings' rubber seals are trying to hold back the elements but they are designed to keep grease in not the water out... With 150 hours yours last longer than mine. Smile

A quick question please. What size axle do I need to fit a fox 36 on a 2016 strive?

Also, anyone got any links for sellers in the UK?

Cheers

Should be the 20mm thru axle. It should come with the forks as it is a proprietary component.
If you need a replacement make sure you get the 5mm Allen key version not the one with the fold out lever. The 5mm Allen key version is for the 2016 onwards forks with 4no. 5mm m6 pinch bolts.
The 2015s have quick release levers, and supposedly isn't as stiff....

Hi,

I’m looking at a strive and needing a new rear shock.

What is the eye to eye length and what time should I look for?

Thanks
