Hey everyone,
I was recently pursuing a 12' Rumblefish, but with delays and unanswered questions from my LBS's Trek rep, I switched to an available Remedy 9. Needless to say, I'm very very excited.
I'm coming from a 2007 Fuel Ex8. I ride primarily technical singletrack. Constant ups and downs. Short intense climbs and sketchy fun downhills. I think this bike is going to inject some speed, flow, and fun into my rides.
Also note, I ride downhill on an 11' Session 8. Love it, love the feel of ABP and full floater shock.
So, My questions are in the suspension setup, tire selection, and adjusting the cockpit and geometry.
1) What kind of weights are you guys getting on Remedy 9's? I'm trying to keep it below 29lbs. Will be putting on some 2.1" DTC Nevegals, folding bead, set up with Stan's no tubes.
2) Do you notice anything when adjusting with the Mino-Link?
3) Does the 32 150 FIT fork have a climbing mode? Also, how are you guys utilizing the compression damping control? I've never had this adjustment on my trail bike. Do you notice a significant difference between the shock settings Climb, Pedal, Descend?
Setup will be:
2012 Remedy 9
Swapping 3x10 to 2x10
MRP XCG chain guard/guide
XT trail pedals
Nevegal 2.1 DTC w/ Stans sealant
Thompson post
Thompson stem
WTB Rocket V Team saddle
Easton XC90 CNT bar
Thanks!
