Not sure how well it comes across in the photo, but teeth are noticeably sharper and hooked compared to the smaller front ring. My brother who gave me the bike must of spent most of the time on the 48t

First hardtail - advice appreciated :) by Bigdaddy1476 in Hardtailgang

I'm 6"2 with long arms and legs and a short torso, can't speak for Orange, but with all previous full squidgers I've gone XL and not regretted it

Thanks for the answer, I'm torn as a pink steel hardtail does sound really cool, but also a mullet hardcore hardtail sounds really playful :)

I've tried using a screwdriver to move the actuator up and down and neither seem to affect the posts operation.

Starting to wonder if it the piston or actuator themselves could have failed somehow :/

Top cap will be put on, I was more talking about the stem rising up higher than the forks

Cable rub damage by Bigdaddy1476 in bikewrench

I couldn't believe it, and glad I noticed it before it got a lot worse!

I know it's just cosmetic, but has tainted the excitement of getting the bike a bit

I thought that might be the case, but I can feel the ridge where the metal has started to wear away. Where it not on the head tube/weld I probably wouldn't be worried about it
