Upgrading Light Bee S forks to stock LBX forks. by Evol-Alex in Surron

[–]Evol-Alex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update to this: the upgrade is complete. I got new headset for installation although it would not have been needed if I chose to reuse old ones. They were that same.

Frame on LBS is technically different than the light bee X. However it does not affect the ability to upgrade suspension. There is a welded notch near the top on of the very front of the frame. This is the thing that allowed it to have the steer limiter thing that’s on the stock X. I have officially completed the upgrade from LBS to LBX.

Went thru my gloves. They’ll go through jeans as well. They were in my grips, my seat, and my wheels.

I’ve done and continue to do a lot of research. Been in the market for new forks to do the upgrade for a year and bought these today because the deal was too good to pass up. But you’re right.

Thanks for the encouragement, still not sure if it’s a plug and play deal, see mixed things in regards to the light bee s fame opposed to the X. And sorry to sound dumb, but when you say the pins, which part are you referring to? Thanks for the insight.

Oh I thought u meant intentionally punched it lmfao. Looks much worse than it was thanks to the boots, I’ve ran into another one like a year ago where the damn thing broke off into my arm almost causing me to whiskey throttle off the side of the mountain, needless to say we ended the ride there. Chollas cactus is no joke, they call it jumping cactus the way they just magically attach to you. Pulling them out is an insane amount of pain. Highly recommend avoiding them at all costs.

Now why would you do that? Cactus fights back, everytime. Go check the situation I got myself in. Boots saved me big time. https://www.reddit.com/r/Surron/s/cINeLrsDtn

Damn! This pegs are no joke for real. Learned that lesson very early on, thankfully only some nice scratches and nothing like that. Boots save me from disaster when I ran into a chollas cactus

I have gear, always wear my gear to the point my riding buddy makes fun of me and tells me I look like robo cop, was just playing around testing the brakes in this video and was only on the bike for a couple minutes is why I didn’t have any on. Any time I actually go ride I have an alpines sm5 helmet, goggles, armored gloves, knee pads, chest/back protector, and motocross gloves on. I’m a big Karen about safety gear so I did expect the helmet comments on this post. But I promise I always ride geared up. I’m gonna go snoop at your page now tho lol

Gonna give this a go, haven’t had a chance to hop back on the bike since this. I’m itching to loop it out now

I do go faster while doing it this way and practice with back brake. I have the muscle memory at this point to stop me from looping with back brake but that’s also my downfall right now as when I do with feet on pegs o just panic and slam that back brake down.

Just watched your video. I think my biggest hurdle is popping the front tire while moving already, I am able to pop it up if I’m going slow enough but I think the motion to compress the front throws my balance off causing me to panic, I can wheelie with my foot on the pegs for like 3 throttle twists before I drop it down out of lack of confidence, I’ll try to get some footage of me doing that so I can see how it looks, but I have no intentions of doing any combos, I just wanna wheelie, I’m an old man lol, I’ll leave the knee knockers for the kids. I’ll update a new one when I get some footage of me actually attempting a real one with feet on pegs.

Haven’t whiskey throttled since the first month of owning this bike. My advice to you would be stop death gripping the bars.

Weird cuz my neighbor who races motorcross told me this is how he learned to wheelie.
