5010!

Just came from everybody's darling, the Stumpjumper Evo. Two days on this thing and it is, quite frankly, better in every way. And way way way more fun.

CC frame-up build.
Reserves with Onxy Classic hubs
AXS
Lyrik at 140mm with Vorsprung Smashpot (new decals incoming!)
Dominion A4 brakes

Same, anted to love the SJ Evo (had three of them), but it just lacked a sporty feel. And the upper shock mount hardware constantly coming loose and inability to run a coil boiled my blood.

Loving my 23' 5010, climbs great, poppy and ultra maneuverable. A near perfect trail bike

Has anyone tried fitting a Push 11.6 230x65 on a Nomad V6?
I know Push doesn´t have a tune nor offers it for the Nomad V6 yet, but!
i was just wondering if I could fit a Push shock (the correct size of course) on a Nomad V6.
The Push shock would be the correct size in numbers for the nomad(230x65 from a Yeti SB160)
but was wondering if there was something else that I should check or think before trying that?
cheers

Should fit, the Megatower 2 has the same front triangle as the Nomad 6, so I would expect it would easily fit, and the shock for the Mt 2 also has 230 x 65 from Push(no 62,5mm option)

I wonder why Push have not released a shock/tune for the Nomad v6

Spent a day in Soelden on my Bronson v4. Feels so much better than my previous Nomad v4 in the same size.

Unexpectedly sold my 2020 Megatower with custom "Miamitower" livery and replaced it with a 2023 V2 with essentially the same S build kit.
Only a few rides so far but I would say it feels familiar but the evolution is noticeable especially with the steeper seat tube. The Fox 38 is really supple too and the in frame storage is just such a cool feature.

Now the important stuff. I obviously like to customize the colourway on my bikes, but I'm not 100% sure what to do with this new bike, the green SC decals look good but don't match anything. I'm strongly considering gold decals and some subtle accents (gold bolts, stem spaces, seat clamp nothing crazy). But just wondering if gold without kashima is a faux pas?
Personally I don't think so since kashima is so hard to match to anything anyway, but I am curious of other's opinions.
So what do ya say: Gold? Keep it stock? some other colour? Beer

Is that actually fully barspinnable and ridable with the brake hose that short? I'm impressed. Been thinking of doing it to my 5010 V4
