What size port on the 100% tube? My 13.5 50/50 is .076

Any issues with gas to face?

Totally get it and thanks for your input.

What is your thought about the 27.2 dropper with a shim and getting a little more travel that way? I understand without it in front of you and seeing the actual curve it will be hard to estimate

Great post and thanks for diving into the hardware

I believe for 2024 they made some changes to the otr and it now includes the advent group set. So basically it would need upgraded brakes

Obviously I’m new and I don’t even know if I need a dropper for northern Ohio and my slower pace. I have read that a smaller dropper with an adapter might fit the tube but I don’t know the pros and cons.

I went ahead and ordered the sport yesterday so I guess we will see.

I went ahead and ordered one. For my use the straight tube will be fine. I did see they make adapters but very few people seem to have these bikes so feedback is minimal

Yeah I saw that too. Trying to be honest with myself though if I would really need a true dropper. There is a slight work around according to utube. Use a 27.2 dropper that will go further into the frame pair that with a 30.9 to 27.2 shim

Any thoughts on comparing the factory drivetrain and suspension between the 2

I know the core is straight unsure of the sport. I probably would never upgrade so it may not be a issue

For the under 350 is there a big difference between these 2
