  • @suspensioncheck
    @suspensioncheck Жыл бұрын

    Hi Diego, I think it will be ok, I haven't even tried the 29er on the back because I really like jumping & steep sections and a 29er is not that fun on the back, especially on tight switchbacks. I broke already an Orbea Rise frame, I wouldn't go with a ZEB and I would go with 160mm if I was to choose again. It's better to keep the axle-to-crown shorter and ZEB has a big crown. The back is really progressive, never felt a bottom out, even with 140mm. I actually got used with 140mm on the back but when I put the 160mm it just felt more plush, I could get away with more.

I am asking just out of curiosity what the challenges were, why the tool is needed…? 😊
