Slowbeat -- thank you for confirming the travel mod cannot be done. I am interested in your parts. Mine is a 2015/16 Revo I bought from Rene Schultz at Bioinicon. Here in Seattle we go straight up and straight down -- lol I love the bike but it is getting old. My Metric has 160 mm and high and low speed compression damping and rebound damping. the coatings on my fork are decent but have a couple scratches. my shock is scratched more. the damping still works well. The lock out is not so great anymore. I noticed the fork is a bit sticky when adjusting travel on the fly.
I was thinking 180 up front could give me more slack for the downhills. would you recommend the Double Agent over the Metric? What do you think is the best set up?
I don't know the difference between G1 and G2. And my rear end is not boost it is 12x142. I think Revo 2 is boost. Am I right?
Hm, looks like a Evo? Thought first Revo prototypes were 2017 makes featuring 142mm rears like mine. When they made it to the market they were 148mm if i remember right?
Main difference between regular Evo and Revo is boost, TT/ST length, tyre clearance on the rear and no 26" option.
Did your fork and damper ever get a service?
I always liked the Doubleagent forks, 170 & 180mm model fits 27.5*2.4 with still some mud clearance.
Exchanged these because i got Trace36 and modified Metric forks to play with, also experimenting with metric shocks. My girlfriend has a Evo with Metric, rides pretty well. So being honest, both forks are fine. Liked the G2s Damper on the Doubleagent a lot as its very efficient and when others suffered from armpump at Lago di Garda or Finale Ligure i was still relaxed. But i did not ride the metric there.
Downside of Doubleagent is limited tyre clearance and limitations on stem/handlebar position.
As always, chose what you like most
Latest brainfart would be fitting the Bionicon Metric air spring on the Trace36 having 180mm&29" front and the Vector with laaarge negative chamber on the rear. Should be a good climber with some improvements down.
But to be honest, the dualair (no Bionicon) Metric with MegNeg Super Deluxe on the rear will do the job for the next years. If i need a better climb, i´ll go for the Hardtails.
160mm or shorter Doubleagents will only fit 26"
. Leider gibt es in meiner Region keinen Experten für dieses System der nächste ist über 100KM entfernt. Hilfe wäre echt Toll. Dankeschön. RideON!
