Trying to get a sense of resale $ for my small '20 Pro. Brand new frame built up with similar to the complete Pro build parts as in Jensons $5500 build except 140 34 PE instead of a 36, pretty much as new XX1/GX shift/rr der, Level brakes 180 rotors etc. Brand new unridden wheels,tires,Shimano crankset,10/51t microspline Hyperglide+ cassette and chain.
Have just posted here in Classified Forum as well as CL/PB.
 
I am very excited to be mulleting my Sensor. I have been scouring ebay for a cheap wheel that fits my needs and finally found one yesterday. My cranks are 175mm hope those aren't too long. I'll post a pix as soon as things come together.

If you need, can always switch to the higher bb setting if mullet gets you too low.
 
That's probably what I'll end up doing. I saw one website that used offset bearings as well to bring the geo closer to normal. I guess that was an alloy Force they used, not a sensor
Shameless plug: Selling my "as new" '20 sensor carbon pro 29 frame if anyone interested. Size small. PM for paticulars.
Thanks in advance.
 
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.
Just put a 140mm RS Revelation RC (44mm offset) on the front of my 2019 Sensor Comp which came with a 130mm RS Sektor (51mm offset). The 140mm RS Revelation RC has the Pike's beefier chassis, and I've noticed the front end feels a good bit more stout when plowing into tight corners at speed. I haven't noticed any unusual changes in the handling thus far. Overall, it's a nice improvement, and I do like the slightly bit more of upright riding posture afforded by the slightly taller front end. One benefit is that I can use a 180mm rotor without an adapter for even better brake feel....
 
Been riding the Sensor Elite 2020 for the last two days. Anybody experience any long term issues with reach? The low and wide bars take some getting used to. I as wondering if anyone has changed the bars for something more raised?

The bike is plenty fun. Anybody shaved the weight with other components?
It felt a bit weird when I first hopped on my 2019 Sensor - the handlebar felt close to me, and wide. I did have to put a few spacers under the stem and cut the bar down to about 770-760mm-ish. Then, it started to feel nice - or perhaps I was just getting used to it after a lifetime of riding old-geometry mountain bikes. The new geometry is so much better, and I am very comfortable on my Sensor now
 
I have mulleted my Sensor. Wow, it is slack! I am fairly confident that the Sensor and Force are the same frame. I can put a 150 fork on it and set it in low and you have the same bike as Maes and Masters are riding.
 
Went otb yesterday and both cablestays popped off. The bike landed on top of me after I rolled and the bike never hit the ground, so it's difficult to find any valid force as to why they popped off aside from it being a very weak spot that's probably just glued on. Any way I can get this covered by warranty, what would you do?

Word of advice, remove your cables from these cablestays, it's not worth the pain of having it come off and removing paint...

It's hard to say what sort of forces a bike is subjected to during an event like you described but I would absolutely at least ask about front triangle warranty replacement. Worst they can do is say no.

Yeah true, just abit of a bummer. Now I know not to leave the cables attached any longer. I'm sure others might wanna do the same at least.
