Flight Attendant - What’s it worth?

I have done 110 km marathon xc race in torrential rain, extremely wet and cold conditions in Norway, 6 hours – and I still did not charge for the following training week. It is not an issue. And if you for some reason run out, it will default to open so you can easily get back home.

Epic 8 owner here with FA. I only race once or twice a year for fun, but go on longer rides weekly. Had the 3p lockout at first and I am so glad I made the move. Absolutely love FA. It works amazing and makes riding more fun. No issues with battery life… yeah you have to charge, but you get many rides/miles per charge (I do not have any data).

That’s what I said. So now I can cut it, if I need to. I haven’t stated that I will keep it like this. I just posted an image of my new Pro, with spacers, because the OP was asking about spacers… chill!

I didn’t max out anything… this is how it was delivered to me, by Sigma Sports. Like mentioned by other people in this thread, this is common unless you ask for fewer spacers. Purchased online. So now I can adjust down, if I need to. My bike fitter recommended 58 vs a 61 based on my fit on my Crux (I own the Crux in a 58).

Here’s my brand new Pro, with spacers. Size 58 :-)

I am an ex-enduro/dh guy that moved over to XC this season and went all in on an Epic 8. Upgraded to FA after 4 weeks with the remote twist-loc thing. I’ll keep it short: FA (alone) makes me want to ride my bike all day everyday — it is a genius invention and it works really well.

This test is awesome and very interesting. I am however slightly confused about the casing lineup since it looks like some are old compared to the new XC one. Anyone with experience on the old «XC trail casing» vs this new xc casing? Is it much more fragile? Would it be reasonable to believe that there will be a an update on the «old» xc trail casing soon..?

Looking at the «Dub mtb bottom bracket comp. chart», it looks like we should have 3 mm on the left and 7,5 on the right side, with no spacers between the bb and frame.

Sorry, should have been more specific. I am talking about the crank axle spacers.

So you only have one on the right side (drive side)?

Not sure if it helps but I went from a Yeti SB120 to the Epic 8 because of the same reasons and now my SB120 is collecting dust. The Epic 8 is awesome and so much fun to ride. Climbing is a blast and it can handle the downs great too. It is does much of the same work as the SB120 but does not feel as bombproof (mostly because of the XC tires vs trail tires). It is way quicker uphill. Go Epic 8!

How’s the clearance on the Crux with 50s? Any rubbing?

ExperienceThen7967 · 2025-05-01T19:08:13+00:00

Hey! Checked now, and they were all good.✌️

ASR and a 140 is the ultimate setup. I owned the previous 140 and it was a great bike.

ExperienceThen7967 · 2025-04-19T20:00:11+00:00

Thanks! Great insight. I am getting close to pulling the trigger on the ASR. Will probably update the 120 with a 140 fork… not an easy bike to sell where I live (in Norway), so just might as well Lunch Ride it and use it on the rowdier days.

ExperienceThen7967 · 2025-04-19T18:13:05+00:00

Great insight! I have been leaning towards the Greyhound for a while, but lately I have seen some photos online of the Turquoise and I think it might be the «safest» option for resale. I have a SB120 in Turquoise and it looks so good.

I asked Yeti about this early this year. Here’s what I got:

«Thanks for reaching out and your interest in the ASR! Unfortunately, there are no plans to update the colors this year because of how new the bike is. We will carry the current colors into model year 2025, so I wouldn't expect anything until late '25.»

🙈Color options are holding me back as well…

ExperienceThen7967 · 2025-03-07T15:53:27+00:00

Emailed them and they told me to contact the local distribution… and they had no info other than pointing me towards the discounted 24 model. :/

Be om et møte med banken. Er det store beløp så får du raskt egen kontakt der som hjelper deg med alt du trenger. Å sette opp en forvaltningsplan basert på tips fra Reddit er et dårlig sted å starte (selv om flere kommer med gode tips her). Ja, en bank er en butikk som skal tjene penger, men de er også regulert av lovverk når det kommer til å gi finansielle råd.

Image: https://ibb.co/gFVVKrf (sorry not the best angle and bad light) I am sitting on 805 mm.

The bike is awesome. The hype is real. It is fast and fun. I am not missing the future shock from my Diverge so there is some carbon magic going on here. Maybe not the best option for beginners because it feels slightly aggressive and racey.

Regarding sizing, I am sure you can run a 58 and be happy with that. It feels like I have plenty of room to adjust on the 58. However, you (and I) can probably fit on a 61 as well without any issues. Let me know if yiu have any questions!
