Can anyone help me decide between cf one and cf pro? Specifically is the suspension really that much of an upgrade on the cf pro?

Tricky.

The fox shock is far superior due to the almost ridged lockout.

But I much prefer the pikes over the 34 - way stiffer and better small bump compliance.

Is the fox shock better other than the lockout? Having a super firm lockout doesnt really bother me too much. Also was very keen on eagle until I realised the price when you need a new cassette!

Try two washers per pedal? I think I required two for my RF Atlas on my DH bike which has SIXC cranks with protective boots on them. You should be able to find a spec for max amount of washers per pedal since there's a minimum thread required.

Does anyone have the dimensions of the box the Jeffsy 27 is shipped in? Size large if it makes a diff, but I'm guessing all the boxes are the same.

Edit: Found on the YT website, can't delete this post... Answer is: Dimensions: 132cm x 82cm x 32cm, 7kg (without bike).

Nice! Let us know how it rides. Was it set up well out of the box, ie brakes bled etc?

I didn't really have to adjust anything. Brakes have a solid feel so I didn't bleed them. Gears shifted without issues, brake levers were angled pretty much dead on for my riding position. Only changes I made were to move the dropper lever inboard of the brakes and adjust the angle of the shifter trigger. The tires were a bit difficult to get the bead to set, but I sort of expected that since they're the non-tr version. I don't really want to replace brand new tires so I'll probably just stick with them until they wear out.

The eagle drivetrain is super quiet and I think the e13 hubs have a unique sound which I happen to like. The sdg saddle is really nice - much better than other stock saddles.

Also, the bike came with a small pack of finish line carbon assembly compound and tubeless valves. Wheels were pre-taped.

I'm 177 and I've had my M CF1 for 2 weeks. Sizing and handle bar width feels perfect, although I do have long arms. Also if it was any bigger I'd need a shorter dropper post.

Hi,

Decided to upgrade from my old 2007 Canyon Nerve ESX (probably size M) to a new bike and I'd quite like to buy a Jeffsy 27 pro. the problem is sizing. I'm 177 cm tall, inseam is 86 cm and I thought I could get along with size M until I drove Pivot Mach 6 in M and found its geometry awful for me. While sitting, it was just a tad short, but while standing up in techical trail I was having big trouble keeping myself behind the handle bar. This is probably due to really short reach of that model. Also the stack of that bike was probably too short for me.

My old bike has a top tube of 575 mm and a 90 mm stem and I found it pretty good on the trails although on the roads I found it slightly long... but who cares about that Smile I could get to very similar figure with Jeffsy 27 size L by shortening the stem to a 40 mm one, or with size M by increasing the stem length to 60 mm, no problems there.

What I'm more worried about is the stack. I probably have quite long legs relative to my height and maybe that requires taller stack from the geometry. I could try to accomplish this with high raiser bars, or just by going for size L.

Any ideas on what would be the correct size for me.... I'm starting to lean towards L

We're the same height... what is your inseam?

Anyone on a jeffsy 27 that has ridden a capra too? I've just noticed the chainstays are actually longer than the capra. Quite long at 17.12" for a 650b bike. Anyone found this an issue with the tight corners? I'm guessing it makes the bike feel very stable at high speed which is going to be a big plus...

Two washers per pedal fixed the issue, easy peasy. All better, thanks for the suggestion.

Did a couple rides on it so far. This bike likes to go downhill, that's for sure. Compared to the 29er it replaced, it seems climbing and flats are comparable, but I carry so much speed through the downhills it's almost scary (almost...it eats it up, though). It's also a much easier to jump.

Which 29er did it replace? Jeffsy 29?
