Anyone got a YT Tues al? Any thoughts? Also if the bike is listed as in stock does that mean there is no waiting time? Also when do the 2017 versions come out? Ta!
Bumpy
I've had one, it's good. Sizing is short so I went for medium (I'm 5'6"), geometry was excellent. The only negative for me was the fact it's a 3.5" stroke shock. The resulting leverage rate meant I needed a 200lb spring which was exceedingly difficult to come by (I've still got it just in case I buy another tues!).
In stock means no waiting time.
2017 versions I'm not sure, I think the 2016 versions became available to order from about August but not sure when they were in stock. In all likelihood it will only be a colour change.
Cheers , I'm looking at a large as I'm 6'1. Can you specify what spring you want when you order? And dos you ask for 'British' brakes? Ta!
They come with a particular spring per size, they can't be changed at point of order however unless you are after an unusually light spring they are cheap and easy to swap. Brakes also can't be "UK" specified when you order however the sram brakes can be used either way up so it's an easy swap.
Yep. Love it. It's the ultimate skills compensator! only taken it to Farmer John's and Antur so far.
In stock does mean no waiting time, they'll ship within a few days. Mine arrived within 5 calendar days of it leaving their warehouse.
Downsides:
Needed a higher rated coil for the shock (13st rider on a large) Gone from 250 to 275lbs. will probably go up again to 300lbs
Probably need a firmer spring for the fork as well (stock is medium)
Headset wasn't tight when it arrived + the Acros top cap is shit - replaced with Hope.
Don't forget to factor in delivery, packing and card fees
I think the 2016 versions became available to order from about August
I'm fairly sure the 2016 bikes were announced in January this year
Ok thanks , regarding fees I was going to go for a bank transfer , using transfer wise .
I got an e-mail about a week ago, saying that all new models will be presented in February 2017.
