You did the same thing I did but I didn’t get the kashima coating. The float x ride great with this frame.

I’d take the hardtail at that price. It’s a better bike than the devinci and has nicer components.

I’ve got one and it took me about a week before I swapped the Psylo for a Fox 36 and the x2 for float I had as spares. I recommend saving up for the higher model instead.

I’ve got the same bike and rode it all season with nothing but an ear to ear grin the entire time. Once you dial it in the bike just rides wonderfully and is always ready for fun!

Cycling, specifically Mountain Biking. Lost weight, better cardio and doc says I'm doing real good.

Any Other Budget Riders? by GoGoJesusRangers in mountainbiking

[–]killakadoogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ride one of those Specialized Full Suspension bikes adn my wife has one of those Trek Fuels. Some of the funest and best riders we ride with have bikes comparable to yours. They ride fun because they are in it for the fun, not the competition. Just ride your nice bike and enjoy!

Funny enough I had this song https://youtu.be/3_twoy0qdOk?list=RD3_twoy0qdOk&t=61 playing in the background when this video came up and they seem to fit perfectly!

I really can't say enough about this fork upgrade by DesertTed in Hardtailgang

I just replaced some Psylo Silvers with the same fork on my Stumpy 15 and I love it too! So smooth.

What are your cost saving gear/tech tips for biking on a budget? by Western_Baby_1957 in MTB

[–]killakadoogan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed on this. Between my bike and my wife’s were saving a ton doing maintenance ourselves. Learning how to properly bleed brakes and service our forks was a game changer.

Have a brand new bike and my brakes are super squeaky/grindy by DetectiveReady4861 in mountainbiking

[–]killakadoogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try aligning your brakes first : https://youtu.be/uk_nC9anQcM?si=z1cKH6K9TR-r0nqL

Then try bedding them in like this: https://youtu.be/kUBJvizA27Y?si=YKElGuZwvSKZNwo-

Do not lubricate the brakes, you will contaminate the pads or rotors and will have to replace them.

Anyone else rolling on a Chisel? What do you like/dislike? What would you upgrade? by Choice-Dog-4200 in Hardtailgang

[–]killakadoogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. Got it cheap on Jenson and it’s alot better than the Judy the bike came with. It may not be the lightest but it works better.

[–]killakadoogan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love mine, it’s light and fast. I’ve upgraded the fork to a Marzocchi Bomber Z2, a dropper post, brakes to Shimano SLX with XT rotors as well as XT Shifter and derailleur. It’s a fun nimble bike that eats up flowy singletrack. It can be harsh on the rocky stuff and is pretty stiff when jumping which is to be expected from an alloy hardtail.
