Are you sure? http://www.specialized.com/de/de/bikes/mountain/endurothe grrman specialized site has no listing for a 29er enduro...might be dead.
Yeah, but I was not able to find the 2016 models until the leak in the other thread.Those look like the 2015 models.
I would consider one if they had integrated an actual bong into the down tube.all new bong shed in a convenient travel size that you can take with you.
why all the monkies arent running out to buy them all up is beyond me.
Not that you would want to do that with the Evo... I think that it's just that they don't have the 13/14 Evo one available yet, and that's what you get if you use one of the regular ones on an Evo. It says one specific for 13/14 Evo is coming soon.they also have one for the 13/14 Evo that will slacken the HA by 0.6°and bring down the BB by 8mm.
I don't think so, because when the Ohlins shock became available for it one of the big deals was that it had a spherical bearing in the front shock mount, supposedly making it so that it wasn't a load bearing member when the rear end was side loaded. In other words, removing it from any part of making the rear end stiffer, and freeing it up to do its only job which is suspension. Problem is, that yoke design still causes some side load at the point where it is joined to the end of the shaft. Here's what I posted about this in that other thread linked to in my previous post:I think they designed the frame so the shock would act as a strut and contribute some small amount of stiffness to the rear end.
Guess what, just this past weekend that damn yoke mount at the end of the shaft started to loosen up again, so it's going back to Specialized again for a fix. Fortunately I have a backup shock, but goddamn! This is the main reason why I wish I could replace the yoke mount with a regular DU bushing end and use this new yoke. I understand the argument about "proprietary bullshit" but in this case, there is no other shock that I would rather run, that Ohlins kicks ass. I just hate having the yoke mount come off!Actually, the suspension *should* be removed from the lateral rigidity equation. If it is having to support stress from side load, it is less free to do its job. This is why the Ohlins TTX has a sperical bearing in the front mount where it attaches to the frame. However, even that doesn’t solve the problem with the original design, which is that any side loading at the seatstays places a slight twisting stress on the yoke attachment to the shock shaft. This is why you see many people complaining about the yoke mount actually breaking off the shock shaft (it was a big problem for Demos, somewhat of an issue for Enduro Evo with coil shock, and likely less of an issue for regular Enduro with an air shock since the air shock shaft has a much larger diameter). I know, I’m riding an Enduro Evo with this design and just recently had to send in my TTX for this very issue.
Didn't know that part.I don't think so, because when the Ohlins shock became available for it one of the big deals was that it had a spherical bearing in the front shock mount, supposedly making it so that it wasn't a load bearing member when the rear end was side loaded.!
