How much of a drop do you need?
- never rode one, but assuming at least 150? Going to do a full fit in the next couple of weeks…
A dropper post needs to get the seat out of the way. In most cases, you dont need alot of drop. I have a 125 and i cant imagine it being more travel. In fact it would probably hit the rear tire.
I've got a 175 on my large.
I recently had the same thing. I wonder if the dropout flexes or something? I also had the RD come loose on my last ride. I couldn't figure out why my shifting was going to hell, I was twisting barrel adjusters and everything and then I moved the bike a little bit and noticed the RD wiggle. Very strange.
Sounds like a little bit of loctite might be in order...
I'm running a Fox Transfer Performance Elite 125mm on my L. It is perfect for my 32 inseam. When ordering the 125mm, I Googled "how to determine dropper post length" and came up with this rule of thumb:
I noticed the shift lever being much stiffer than similarly specced Marin and trek which had much lighter action. Didn't realise the chisel came stock with jagwire cables..If anyone is looking for a cheap upgrade on their stock chisel I recommend changing the shifter cable to a Shimano Optislick cable. I just changed my Jagwire cable that came on my base chisel to a Shimano Optislick cable and it was night and day different. The shifter is so much easier to change into high gears now. Best $25 I have spent so far on my chisel
Now I understand the whole tan sidewall thing. She's a beaut!
Hi, bought my 2021 Specialized Chisel Comp last March this year and wasn't able to initially notice that mine was Rockshox Silver only and not Gold. Currently in dispute with Specialized Asia and waiting for response. Anyone of you guys experienced the same? What's the outcome? Thanks.
Specialized asia left me cold, but i'm the second owner. The first owner never realised the fork was a judy silver. Hope you have better luck.
