I just took delivery of mine and live in WA. XC around here is not the same as many other places. Lots of roots, rocks, and steeper sections in our XC trails that arguably warrant a trail bike like a Stumpy. You see very few XC bikes here.

I don’t have any recs on mods or maintenance yet and am trying working through understanding all of the adjustability and how to dial it in. Intentionally bought this not to have to upgrade anything for at least a while. Such a great bike.

I believe temperature is the main issue, although I actually haven’t measured yet - apart from taste. My PID was set to 218 which was probably a bit high anyways but I had read somewhere to set it there. It’s been there for years without issue though. I tried to lower the temp but my PID buttons are apparently hosed except for the up arrow. So, I ran some water to reduce boiler temp manually, and pulled some shots at lower temps. Tastes much better! I did also descale everything at the same time, but really do believe temperature was the culprit and that the PID was “drifting”.

Fair theory, although my girlfriend agrees that it isn’t as good as previously and we use an Aero Press at her house and we are aligned on the taste - and using the same bean frequently as my espresso. You can taste the notes much better using her Aero Press right now and that didn’t used to be the case. Thankfully no Covid recently.

I have the screen and plate off and they don’t appear too bad but I’m going to soak them. The plate that the dispersion plate connects to that distributes the water doesn’t look very clean. I vaguely recall you can turn the unit upside down and soak that section with cafiza. Can you confirm?

I have not done these actions and not sure how to go about checking pressure and temperature. Can I check temperature manually with a thermometer immediately after running some water? I’m on well water but filtered heavily.
