    Yeti ASR5 Carbon: Quite possibly the best bike evar!

    Started with 2.25 Evo snakebite Nic front/Ralph rear, but the Ralph couldn't cope. Wanted to put a 2.25 Nic on the back, but due to lack of funds, put the 2.25 Nic on the the back and a 2.4 Nic I had lying around. Don't notice any difference in speed to the original set up, but much better...

    Yeti ASR5 Carbon: Quite possibly the best bike evar!

    Here's what Yeti said: 'There’s a really thick layer of clear coat there which it looks like you’ve chipped through, and a thick protective outer layer of carbon so I wouldn’t say that it is a structural concern, but it would be worth applying some protective tape there to prevent further...

    Yeti ASR5 Carbon: Quite possibly the best bike evar!

    Not sure it helps but 6'1", large frame, inline post, 50mm stem, soon to be 70mm. Not got a cracked frame yet but I've got severe chipping (1-2mm deep) on the underside of the drive side chain stay which I guess is chain damage. Will contact Yeti to see if it is cause for concern, but to be...

    Best way to avoid blisters?

    What grips have you got? I used to have the Yeti grips with the stand out letters which I thought were particularly bad. Using Renthal Kevlar now which I would recommend - cheap, thin, soft, grippy and hard wearing. You just need to get over the piss stained colour.

    So far so good with mine. Are you talking about 575's? Think they had an issue.

    Sounds like I need to try a shorter fork. What length crank arm are you running?

    Yeti ASR5 Carbon: Quite possibly the best bike evar!

    No, I intended to drop it to 140mm but started with 150mm and haven't really had a problem. My experience with travel adjust forks is they're a kind of jack of all trades etc., so now I steer clear (soz). I'm obviously aware the bikes geometry should be better at 140mm, and I wasn't aware of the...

    Yeti ASR5 Carbon: Quite possibly the best bike evar!

    This may be too late, but I've owned a Heckler, a Blur 4X and now a Yeti 5C. Totally agree with you on the difference between the Heckler and 4X regarding square-edge hits. The Heckler hangs you up, the 4X pushes you forward. Now the 5C is single pivot but I don't notice any hanging up like the...
