Nice. I didn’t realize that…I’d keep the 160 anyway so that would be sweet…I found one locally for a great deal and am considering it.

170mm Zeb Ultimate on my V1 paired with a super deluxe coil on a cascade link out back. I rate it highly on the descents, still climbs as sluggishly as it did before, no noticeable difference, it gets the job done.

What are people with V2 sentinels running for bash guards?

I’ve got a Oneup Bash Guide - so it’s got a top chain guide and a plastic bash guard under the chainring. All attached to the iscg mounts

Bash guard and chain guide from Funn. They’re modular so you can install without having to remove the cranks

Yea my alloy isn’t trying to go up fast at all. Same build as you almost. Cc link, coil, and I’ll likely go Zeb but keep 160. Maybe trying a 60mm stroke out back but will see.

Anyone running a 38/Zeb on their v1? How’s its change with the longer axle to crown? Enjoying the stiffer front end? Considering a used 38/Zeb or just trying a smash pot in my current 36 grip 2.
I picked up a Zeb ultimate on the cheep when the new ones came out. The zed rides like my 36 when I had it set at 170mm except way less twisty in the rocks. The head angle is now 63.8 degrees according to my phone app. I removed one 5mm spacer under my stem , leveled and moved forward my saddle .

The Zeb was a huge upgrade over the fox imo.

That’s the confirmation bias I'm looking for! Thanks for that.

I'm running the Cascade Components bash guard on mine because it came with the bike. It seems to be pretty pricey but it's been doing a good job so far, though I personally wouldn't spend that much for it it is nice to have.

Did that come with the bike when you bought it new or was it used?

It's 13g lighter and $33 less than MRP's comparable part (SXg SLR). Compared to their aluminum one it's 0.1lbs lighter and $27 more. Food for thought.

I have the CC guide on my spire. I paid full price and it’s worth every penny. The clutch on my X01 shits the bed in rock gardens and I’ve done everything I can to throw a chain and it’s worked flawlessly. I cannot say the same for previous MRP guides. Also with my supper low bb I get lots of strikes on the bash guard and it’s held up nicely. If it was not flawless or worked like my last MRP I’d have complaints. For me it’s worth the $$$.

I just did the same with a 170 Zeb on a V1 carbon frame. No rides yet but I will be looking at the sag & set up carefully. All I can comment on at this point is how good it looks. lol
