Galfer rotors and pads transformed my Guides into one of the best brakes I have had in a loong time. Just saying. Floating rotors and their extreme pads.
I am thinking about installing 220mm disc brakes on my mk1. Any contraindications? I know the old pike is not supposed to get more than 200mm but what about the frame?
I hope it is a cheap way to improve the guide that are not powerful enough and that have let me down several times after burned hot in long dh.
Mtx Gold pads upped the power in my guides a massive amount.
@whattheheel the fact is I can get the 220 sram centerline for free from a friend. When I say cheap...
@loamfiend already heard about them here but never saw them in France. I am using brake authority pads that are already better than sram's, would be curious to compare.
I have a 2020 Jeffsy Carbon which I purchased with a custom build having a Z1 coil 160mm up front and an avalanche racing tuned marzocchi CR in the rear at 150mm. The bike is a monster and eats everything I throw at it. I come from riding BMX and climb a lot. I am considering switching back to air suspension. Has anyone ridden coil but preferred air? I just feel like the coil is too supple and your lose some of the responsiveness of the bike.

That setup sounds so sweet. Bet it looks dope with the red decals too. I just switched back to air after moving- went from Pisgah riding to long, steep xc style stuff in Montana. The DHX2 I was running did fine with the climb switch on, but switching back to the DPX2 gave the bike more pep and gas on the climbs. Certainly not as composed on chatter and repeated hits, but those are less of an issue out here. It’s so easy to switch the shock out, I honestly have both shocks with me whenever I travel with the bike.

Yea that's kind of the direction I'm heading. I ride a lot of steep technical long climbs here in eastern PA and enjoy climbing. The Jeffsy with current setup just feels way too slow. I want to get it a little more snappy. For DH days the coil does feel nice!
Has anyone tried the Cane Creek Angleset with the Jeffsy 2019-current? Looking at doing a 10mm travel bump from 150mm to 160mm and a -.5 angleset to get me a HTA of 65 degrees.

I did a 160mm fork and -1.5 angle set. This put the HA right at 64.5 in the low setting and near enough maintained all the rest of the geometry exactly where it was.
If I we’re doing it again I’d go all the way to -2 degrees.
I'd be careful here. I had offset bushings and increased my fork from 150mm to 160mm, but pedal strikes became a really problem.
I've since bought a replacement bike with the desired geometry out the box and the difference is amazing, I shouldn't have spent so much time "fudging" the Jeffsy. Great bike though and I still have it as a backup bike.

Surely that was only from the offset bushings though. Increasing fork travel and slackening head angle wouldn't give him your issue

You must have went super slack with your angleset. My idea to go 10mm up on travel and -.5 degrees should counter the negatives of both changes and keep the rest of the geo similar. 10mm up on travel is a higher BB, but the angleset lowers the BB and extends the front wheel, countering some of the 10mm height increase. End with a 65 HTA instead of 66, but preserving a lot of the original geo outside of HTA. Is my thinking right?
Just wanted to know if the Jeffsy uncaged 6 comes with tire sealant already in the tires? I couldn't find anything at all in the manual about this. I don't want to add sealant to the tires if already had it inside.

Pretty sure they come with tubes inside the tires. Deflate the tire and pop a bead to see and go from there.
