Think I’m gonna try and slam a 210 Oneup dropper in my incoming medium frame. The demo Spur I rode a week ago had a 180 and it was not slammed to the collar for me to get proper leg extension. We’ll see 🤞🏻

Is a 3mm offset the correct chainring for the Spur?

I've got a 175mm Fox Transfer that fully slams in a medium frame, so your OneUp should do the same.

Yes, giving you a 52mm chainline.

Has anyone compared a 2.4" rekon dual compound vs 3c max terra compound as a rear tire? Does the dual compound roll noticeable faster?

There’s probably another forum for this, but the short answer is “probably?” I perceived a difference, but whether it was real or not, I don’t know. It just felt less draggy. What I know for sure is that tire wear with the dual compound was better.

It technically may have fit, but I couldn’t even slide a single piece of paper between the frame and shock, at the rear triangle.

I’d personally like a couple of millimeters of clearance especially with flex stays; but to each their own .

How do you like your cc DBil air shock?

I checked the clearance and it is no issue.
The Sid lux is lacking damping, on fast and bouncy trails, it was like riding on a pogo stick.

Had than a manitou mc leod which was excellent (after a tuning) but I should have sent it again to the service. It was getting noisy and rebound adjustment was on the limit.so I wanted to give the CcDb a try

Now I have the CcDb which I run since a few months. But winter times is for me not the best period to setup correctly the suspension.
For the moment not as plush as the McLeod. On repeated sharp edges the CcDb is packing up a bit.
But I am sure I will get it fixed

For those of you discussing the fitment of the CCDB inline on the Spur frame, CC released updated Inline air and coil models that have better clearances. In the press release they actually feature a Spur.

Who will be the first person on here to give the new IL coil a try?

I have an IL Coil on order

Awesome. I can't wait to hear a ride report. My previous bike was a Evil Offering with a Push 11.6, man that was a fantastic shock, I even enjoyed the traction while climbing.

My bike should deliver tomorrow. Will very likely be pulling the air can immediately so I may not be able to give much comparison reports.

I hear ya. One of my previous bikes was a V3 Following with a Push 11.6 shock. Lovely little ripper of a bike. Looking forward to the Spur.

So far I have been loving my Spur. Picked up a GX build in January and blown away at how capable it is. It has replaced my Yeti 5.5 as my daily driver, which is now for sale on PB 😀. I also have a Spire for bike park days and Enduro racing. Love that bike!

Question regarding the Spur: is it possible long stroke the shock to get 130mm in the rear? Asking for a friend…..

 

[Blown Jammer]

I'm considering putting a 28t ring and a 45t cassette on mine because I have a 45t I need to use. Any suspension issues with the 28t ring though?

How are all the new(er) Spur owners feeling about the Sid? Has Rockshox fixed the bushing issues?

I can finally add a second bike to the stable and I've been eyeing the Spur for years. I'd likely be getting the Deore build and I'd prefer to just run it stock while I continue to upgrade my Sentinel.

I have a Spur GX with the 25mm Stan's Arch Team rims. Not really happy with the engagement and bought some Nobl TR32's (27/26mm) with nicer hub. That was almost two years ago and never got to take them out of their box - had a big crash with several big, important bones broken on my bigger bike just as rims arrived. Finally capable to ride again and see the Spur's Fox build come with 30mm rims. For those switching to 30mm wheels, is the wider ID a noticable benefit for the way you ride your Spur? I will always have a bigger bike for bigger/technical days. I'm 200lb rtr (once I lose my injury weight!). I could always sell the Nobl's b4 I ever use them.

Really interested in the response to this. RS seem to have so many things dialled, yet I keep hearing about bushing play and that sounds like a nightmare.



Question for the masses, can you tune a rear shock to provide more support off the top? A bit like having a higher anti-squat? I don't really understand the nuances of suspension tuning/design, but am comparing the Spur and Top Fuel and really like the pedaling efficiency of the Trek, but the Spur is just so dang awesome everywhere else (and maybe it's plenty efficient?).

I'd want it as my XCM race bike as well as everyday bike for all types of trails.

I think most people would be running 2.3-2.4" tires on the Spur and a 27mm rim should work fine for that. I seriously doubt you would get any benefit from going with a 30mm rim over what you already have.

Fwiw I am running 28mm Reserve wheels on my Spur. I generally run 30mm as that is a good sweet spot that works with a lot of tires, but decided to save some weight with the Spur wheels.

You can either add more low speed compression, or reduce the volume of the negative chamber. A lot of shocks do the former, I have a Deluxe Ultimate with Lock, Trail and Open, the Trail position just adds more LSC and firms up the suspension. Most shocks don't have adjustable negative air chambers, it's possible but you'd have to ask someone who rebuilds shocks about that possibility. It will reduce small bump compliance and make the bike ride harsher and you'd get a harder top-out. IMO the Spur pedals really well, so I'd just look into a shock that has the additional LSC setting like the Deluxe.

Still waiting for free time and a break in the weather to get my Spur out for its maiden voyage. It’s just a stock Deore build. Hoping i like the Sid suspension, but at my higher weight (~220 currently), I have a feeling I might be l on the hunt for a pike / fox 34 and rs deluxe / float x setup.

BIG fan of the 30mm internal, even with XC/Trail tire spec. Having swapped between 24mm and 30.5mm, the improvement in traction and control was notable... but there are many other variables at play, your results may vary.

Transition may not discount it on their consumer facing site but my guess is there will be additional discounts passed on to dealers so they will effectively be on sale.

Looks like they removed the option to buy from their website and even removed all the prices. Now I just see a "find a dealer" button. I wonder if this is how they allow for some flexibility for dealers to adjust prices.
