Also, if you put up a photo on here that you took at your home address, make sure you take the GPS information off before uploading.

Anyone can save the photo and get the GPS coordinates of your house just by clicking for the file 'properties'.

What i read in the german forums you can still wait a week on a email reply if any and sometimes 2hrs waiting on the phone...

https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/t/wartezimmer-fuer-alle-propain-bikes.639864/page-985
You can check it with google translate if you want to get depressed.

yeah it sucks really bad . Pretty much ruined all my plans this year. Now cant afford to get another bike.
I was close to cancelling the bike a week before i got it .
Getting a propain start to finish has been terrible , Not their fault it got stolen, but the bike was 100% not worth it.
they could help with using there media reach to get the word out . But the whole Propain , Family ,community "Friends " is pure nonsense , not sure why i bought into it .
There UK folk, dont get back to you either now , even when i had the bike they didnt respond.

Anyway life goes on . Have a good summer !

Has anyone tried to fit a 2023 superdeluxe coil rc2t in a Spindrift.

I have the feeling that either it barely fits...or at the first extension I'll rip off the compression selector.

Nice, how does it ride compared to the previous model? What brand of spring is that? Not a sprindex right?

I'm quite curious to maybe put one on my DH bike or Tyee.

There is no major revolution in term of feeling but it seems a little bit better on small bump and having a best floor feeling.

The best thing are the setting, you can adjust bottom up on the end stroke and HCS and LCS therefore that is quite good, and there are only 5 click on each setting and note 30 clicks like on FOX or Cane Creek where we are completely lost.

The spring is a Super Allow Racing, it is like a titan spring in term of weight and feeling.

I also mounted mine...the compression knob barely touches the linkage....scary a.f. but after one day nothing broke so i'm confident and super satisfied. It's a pillow.

(did you also notice the clearance issue?)




I just ordered a 2023 zeb as well...i'm gonna sell the '21 model. Let's see.

I think he rotate the rebound knob to the rear toward the seattube. You have it facing forward?

@sweet06: thanks for the answer
