Great video! Can't wait for the snow here to melt so that I can get out and ride.

I am going to ride my C70 in some XC events this year, what are the narrowest tires that can effectively be mounted on the stock Flow MK3 wheelsets? 2.2?

sounds about right, 2.25 might be better?

Formula cura single piston f/r

Anyone fitted a Ohlins shock on these bikes yet? Wondering what front and rear shock bushings/ bearings are needed? The inside diameter of the eyelet on the shock is smaller than fox.

How do you like the 170/160 combo? Does the bike ride much differently when out on the trail? I'm considering long shocking my C70 as well but worried it will suffer during non-park/non-gnarly riding.

I love it, it rides great! I also live in the middle of the country so not many park days. I ride a lot of everything with this bike and its also my race bike. It also allows me to run my suspension softer with more progression, I like to ride big jumps, drops, gaps ect.

Oz trails at Wyco

Awesome, that is a great photo.

Just trying to determine how much of a penalty on pedalling moving up 10mm/10mm on each end would have. Thanks!

Hi folks, I am the proud new owner of trifecta's 2018 Altitude C50! Smile

One weird problem I am having with the build is the bike will not shift into the largest sprocket (11spd Shimano 11-42 with RF Turbine 32t) . Guessing the hanger must be bent? Otherwise it shifts flawlessly in the other 10 sprockets. Reluctant to bend it unless I know for sure I am not missing something. Any advice? edit: frame is fine, it was the derailleur link.>

B limit is set properly and the L limit screw is completely undone. The cable is completely pinched to the clamp bolt so the derailleur physically cannot move further.

defo a bent hanger mate, but worth double checking the cassete is fully on the freewheel with correct spacers. take it down to your lbs and ask if they can strighten the derailer, only takes 5 mins.

Thanks, I didn't think to check the cassette. The wheelset is also second-hand so maybe the spacing has been messed with.

make sure you use a proper hanger alignement tool, its important you use it correctly as well.
