Ah, and I have a 230*65 mm shock lying around that I could travel For my coming smash.

Is it necessary at all or would 230*65 in the Smash Work without the rear wheel touching the Seattube?

Re: down tube, that’s just some strips of rubber mastic tape to quiet things a bit on loose “gravel” we have around here and would kick up from the front tire.

I never experienced tire rub on my smash running the 230x65 DVO Jade. Putting it on without the coil and compressing it fully with a ski strap it comes close, and might rub if going deep through the bottom out bumper on the damper. But riding it for over a year, including days at Trestle Bike Park, I never experienced tire rub.


Great,Then I do Not Need to Change my nice shock,great :-)

I will Upgrade the downtube protector definitely

Nice, Smash or gnarvana? How does it climb on steep ascends? I am waiting to build Up my Smash:-)

That's a Smash, you can tell by the flip chip on the stays.

The decals seem to be attached pretty right. How can I remove Them?

Got a frame from Sale With blue decals and want to Exchange Them

Smash. Climbs just fine IMO but full disclosure I am coming off of a 2016 Trek Slash (160mm travel) so this bike is certainly going to feel like it climbs better than my old bike. So far this bike feels great on ups/downs/chunks/jumps. Very stable and it came in right around 33lbs, slightly lighter than my Slash but has larger rubber, wider rims etc.

I went with a 40mm stem and the 185mm dropper on my build.

I thought that vista looked familiar. Love me some BCSP! Did you hit the new Gnawbone trail!?

If they are not under the clear coat then maybe this video will help.

Good luck.

might want to just email bikes@ridegg.com and get their input, very helpful customer service and I'd bet they could advise how to do it w/o damaging powder coat

Yea, but only in little sections because I actually used it to climb out after Hobbs so i would stop and session the cool bits. I need to go back and hit Gnaw Bone in a single run. It is an amazingly built trail.

I got mine in the fall, it was explained to me that the decals are baked on during paint curing. Support pointed me to stikrd.com for replacements, but I never heard back form them so there is that.

Gnarvana V2 in size 3. It currently has 180mm in the front. It is currently just under 40 lbs. This is the most recent image, it has a lot more color now.

Made a couple mods, got out for a tiny neighborhood pedal
- Smash => Gnar V2 aka Night Goat (keeping the music theme)
- CC Kitsuma (re-stroked to 230x65 for the Gnarvana, however I've found my Smash can also clear a 230x65 at full compression, running this same shock, no air, fully compressed with ski straps and tire still clears, barely)
- Manitou Mezzer at 170mm
- I9 305 Hydra w/ E13 Helix+ cassette
- E13 Grappler and AT (front/rear) in enduro casing, mopo compound, no inserts this time
- RF Turbine 165 cranks w/ OneUp 30t oval

Basically a new bike. Kinda blown away so far with just a little bit of pedaling around how sensitive and smooth the Mezzer is. I'm really excited to actually get this out on the trails, probably gonna need to head to the desert real soon to ride it on dry trails since we're entering prime snow season.
