On a side note ,the stock bikes now come with a 140mm rockshox fork,i may be wrong on this ,but i'm nearly sure that the fox 36 150 mm is only 6 mm more axle to crown than the rockshox 140 mm's.

the gt sport has the 30 tooth single chainring have you tried the 32 tooth one? how's it going? keeping 11 ratios 11-42

 

[Budgetplough]

I left mine at 30,not fit enough to try anything else at the moment.Its on its original crank too.

Anybody put there sensor on a Thule Pro Ride and having any issues with the clamp of the Pro Ride causing cable rub to the frame at the bottom of the groove tube?

Looking to pick up one of these frames for a build up. I noticed the '19's have a "standard" shock and '20's have a piggyback shock. Wondering if the shock is worth the $500 upcharge? I like the colour of last years model better.

Also I was curious of the name and came up with this doing a search:

What is sensor? - Definition from WhatIs.com

Can someone please tell me what the size of the lower shock mount hardware is. I cant find that information anywhere. I first messaged GT and they are zero help. Then l called Doral Incorporated and they were no help. Then I called Fanatic, where i bought the frame and they say 8x37 but i can't find that size on the internet anywhere. Not sure why its such a struggle to find this part.

I have the 2020 Elite. And tbh I don't know much about shock sizing but if I can help you in any way, give me a shout. Will help as much as possible.

Can anyone chime in on pros/cons running 130 vs 140 fork upfront on their builds?🤔

Discuss.

Pros, raises the front end a bit which is welcome by most and slackens head angle a tad. Also makes it that much more capable.

Cons, effectively shortens reach just a bit, raises bb, slackens seat angle, slackens head angle a tad.

I don't have a Sensor but a 2020 force, which does have a pretty forward leaning feeling in the front so raising the bike up a bit wouldn't be a bad thing IMHO. So if i were choosing, i'd go 140. Pros seem to outweigh any cons.

FWIW i'm converting the Force to a mullet and dropping the stock 27.5 fork from 160mm to a 29 150mm. With the increase in wheel size this will effectively raise the front about 1.5cm +/- from the stock 27.5 160mm set up, which i'm interested to see if it takes a bit of the forward lean feeling off of the bike.

Anybody experience paint peel? 2020 Sensor Elite here. Dropped a bomb canister from about a height of 20cm onto the frame, removed paint right to the silver of the frame. Also noticing a bit of peel at some of he creases like at the hi/lo flip chip link, etc.

Hi all. New to the site. Just picked up a GT sensor sport 2019 in clearance for under a thousand pounds (sterling). It was a demonstrator so has a couple of scuffs but otherwise is in new condition. Plan is to go mullet, does anyone have any recommendations for tyre widths on a mullet setup?

 

[Asamat]

Newbie here. I got my 2020 Sensor Carbon Expert in May and I just love it. I replaced the wheels and grips and went tubeless, but otherwise stock build.

Fork offset/travel question?

This is related to a '20 model frame with a RS piggyback shock that was spec'd using a 140 44 offset fork on the full build, the previous model had a 51 os fork I believe.

My question is if one was to run a 150 fork on it but with a 51 offsethow would that affect handling characteristics? Reason being I had purchased a fork for a different frame designed on a 51 offset that came damaged and the vendor has no more frames available to replace in like kind.

Thanks in advance.

 

[wildh]

I can't already for the sensor but if assume it's the same as my Force 27.5. I swapped to 51 offset 29 fork and yes there is a difference. Is it bad? No not really. Sped up the steering a touch but otherwise I haven't noticed.

Double post. Dang wifi delay!

 

[JMac47]

27.5->29

Think you may have just noticed that new setup over change in offset?

 

[JMac47]

Will make sense soon enuff

Have '20 model ordered and due in early next week ready for build. Might try mullet setup after intial 29 build.
