TKolbo, I contacted Trek because I have a Remedy 8 myself. The rep told me that I can effectively set the fork up to run at 170mm of travel without voiding the warranty. I think you should try with the Manitou as it will give you more tank-ness on the downhill and in the rowdy.

@Tkolbo_

3 жыл бұрын

I honestly did debate doing that, however my bike is already overkill for my local trails, so I opted to stick to 160. The other reason I stuck to 160 is because the manitou has a 10mm difference in axle to crown height so it already raised to the height of a 170mm fox 36. So then if I went 170 it would be 20mm higher than stock, so I was worried that alter the geometry a bit too much. Its easy enough to change travel that I still might give it a shot anyways! Would make it rad for the rowdy stuff!

I only bought my Pike Ultimate because it was silver too! Joking, but the fork is definitely the component that makes the bike and is worth every penny IMO. Any plans to try the fork at 170 mm, the maximum for the Remedy? Overkill for most riding around here, but at bike parks or out west it might be worth it.

@Tkolbo_

3 жыл бұрын

I was seriously considering it, but since the axle to crown is already 10mm taller than the stock fork I was worried about how much different the geo would be with the 170 + 10mm taller ATC. I may still try it, but i'm going to rock it at 160 for a bit longer first! The silver color is just so rad on both this fork and the Pike ultimate.

Still no new info...The snow is melting here, but it'll be awhile before the trails are dry enough to ride. Hopefully next month. I cannot wait!

I appreciate the third person views of the forks travel and wish it was more common in reviews. Does a much better job at showing what fork is doing VS a POV video. How is the claimed weight only 2032g with 37mm stanchions? Again - great vid. Still hating winter - at least there is plenty of stream-able sci-fi

Glad you enjoyed all the shots! Definitely agree about needing more 3rd person in smaller channel reviews. It’s just hard and time consuming setting up 3rd person shots. I’ll tell you holding the fork before I installed it, it is indeed very very light! Spring is just around the corner right? Kinda?

@@Tkolbo_ I ordered the DVO D1 today, in ugly green/gold yellow or whatever color that is. Thinking coil on the back...I did take another look at the Mezzer though and am surprised the DVO is 150g heavier. the mezzer just looks heavy/beefy

the weight difference between a 36mm tube and a 37mm tube is extremely minimal. Manitou just managed to keep it light and stiff

@@driftlessareasingletrack2933 the coil on the back will be fun in Duluth and out west in areas where it’s gnar, but for our general area it’ll be overkill, but who cares it’ll be super fun! I did you get a Diamond or an Onyx from DVO? I had a diamond on my Pivot and it was pretty killer!

There are 3 reasons why I got this fork 1. because the axle touches the downtube 2. which makes me regret my life choices 3. and then i don't regret anything cause I get to spend even more money on bikes all over again!

Glad you enjoyed it! The mic was probably clipping...I probably pushed the limiter or the compressor a bit hard. Thanks a ton for watching!

Can use this on hardtail?

As long as your hardtail is rated for 140mm and up travel and has a tapered headtube then you should be good to go!
