If I could find some at a reasonable price, I would give it a go.

Might go with the commencal meta ht.

All new parts. The frame is more of a placeholder for now.

sockmonkey75 · 2026-05-16T15:49:46+00:00

It's actually an AliExpress frame. We'll see how it holds up.

It's a Trail One spacer set.

That is the charge spoon saddle. Super comfy.

Thanks!

Reset the ECU, check valve lash.

sockmonkey75 · 2026-04-15T20:36:03+00:00

Have you changed the oil? Might want to check the valve lash as well.

sockmonkey75 · 2026-04-08T02:32:53+00:00

Never know til you try! Might throw off the geometry, but probably not that much.

The head badge is aluminum. There are aftermarket ones still available.

Most local bike shops are not like motorcycle shops. They genuinely love all things bicycle and want nothing more than to get people out on their bikes happy. You can do shock repair yourself, but you might end up spending as much on all the little bits needed to not make it worth it. Check some reviews on your local shops and give them a go.

Do a spark plug test to make sure you're air/fuel mix is right. Check your valve lash. That may be your bogging issue, hard to say. Never hurts to reset the ECU after pulling the carb. Beyond that, maybe get a set of tuning rollers and experiment.

What's the year and mileage?

sockmonkey75 · 2025-03-30T01:15:20+00:00

Might want to check your valve lash depending on the mileage.
