Mines a large 29er and I only cut about 1 cm out of it and I'm at the limit, even touched the tyre once. I really suggest to check it by deflating the shock

Quick advice needed guys. What is the minimum seatpost length for 2019 Tues (size M) until the tire hits the saddle? I definitely have to cut mine but don't have a shock pump right now to check how low it can go! So if someone could share the measurement of how much can I cut it... I'd be so grateful

If anyone's bothering with the same question, I could easily cut 10cm off my seattube after pushing the seat all the way to the front.

The rear shock's not 100% compressed at the photo but it still has a little clearance for mud tyres Wink

I jumped and landed a bit hard. Not a crash but a rough landing. My frame crackrd (yt tues cf pro 2019). It happend in August. I wrote to YT on the 3rd of Auust. They answered in the beginning of September. I sent them the frame and shock for inspection mid September. 2 months later I got a bill for crash replacement (1300€ + two way postage). I refused to pay it as I awready have V10CC. My frame is still there. The guy from YT stopped answering me on the 30th of October. I still wait for them to return me my frame and shock. I will never ever buy YT.

Hey guys, I've got a 2018 Tues cf, new style frame. Does anyone know what size bearing I need for the bottom headset cup? Its the stock Acros headset.

Also if you've swapped out the stock headset for something else what did you fit?

Thanks in advance

Info for my 2019 cf

zs49/28.6 upper headset
zs56/30 conversion lower headset

I bought the Cane Creek 110 lower headset because it had a crown race with integrated seal and better sealing on the bearing itself supposedly. I didn’t even get a season out of the stock acros.

Thanks for the info. The crown race on the stock Acros headset that came with my frame has an integrated seal. I was hoping to just change the bearing tbh with the correct size bearing from a bearing supplier but annoyingly the bearing doesn't have a code on it, just says Acros Quality Bearing on the seal. Unless the code is on the other side, I havent removed the bearing from the headset cup yet. Bearings from Acros are very expensive....

Found a crack on my Jeffsy 29, under the downtube guard which isn't cracked and returned the frame to YT in Germany. They insisted it was impact damage and refused the warranty claim but also asked permission to cut the frame to check for manufacturing defects at the same time. I told them to return the frame and had it repaired at a cost of around £350, which is a LOT less than the crash replacement front triangle they offered to SELL me, 5 months after I'd bought the bike. Glad I didn't let them cut it and I wouldn't recommend YT after this experience

Fairly sure the Acros headset on my Jeffsy has the bearings bonded or pressed into the cups therefore the whole headset has to be replaced when the bearings pack up, probably the same headset as the Tues

My Tues bearing came out with some tapping. The cup is fine.

Hey guys, I’ve got a 2016 Carbon tues. This morning while looking at the bike I noticed some damage on the NDS carbon seat stay. Am I basically SOL or do you think there would be anywhere I could get a replacement rear triangle for a frame that old?

Send them an email. I doubt it though.
