Can you punch someone at Scott HQ in the dick for a friend of mine?
Years ago Scott HQ was sent an exploded diagram of the dreadful Genius LT with an arrow pointing to a shock bolt. They were somehow unable to identify the bolt and therefore couldn't help.
Luckily my friend had a neighbour that liked to drink beer and weld, so he was going to turn the frame in to some sort of cargo bike, from memory anyways.
God it was a shit bike!
New bike showed up. Not happy with the brakes, have to double pump them to get a good lever, not sure if this is the wandering bite point that everyone complains about but I'm going to try bleeding them before I give in and buy maguras. I also about killed myself on the first drop I did because my timing was off, thankfully it was very low speed and only a little bit shorter than wheel height.
purple drank colorway!
you didn't by chance, happen to have the bike flipped upside down for anything before riding, did you? xt's will do that. a few pumps and they're fine.

Noice bike. What's going on with the grips?
Ocd triggered by the offset GG logo on the downtube.
My wife got the ergon mini wings and I liked then after riding hey bike with them, so I got them for my new bike.
If you think that little off center sticker is bad you don't want to set the other side. The logo is offset an entire line width of the letters between the frame and cable cover.

If brand new I'd think they just need a bleed.
Rotor thickness won't help.
Pad knock? If you are referring to pad movement forward and backwards, when the brakes are locked, this is fairly normal. There is some play between the pin and holes in the pads. If you are talking about rattling when riding then check what pads you have from stock (you mentioned they are new brakes). The Shimano finned pads that came with my new 4 pots rattle like crazy on the trails and it is a known issue. You can open up the spring plates between the pads to help. Will change to something else when my originals are burnt.
I have had really good luck with Shimano over the past decade. Yes, when a lever goes it needs to be replaced. But when they are bled and pads are good then no issues. After a number of rides the lever throw tends to get too long, but removing the calliper and pumping the lever a couple of times closes the gap between pads and I get a nice solid and short lever throw again. I tend to need a bleed when changing pads (including a calliper piston clean) and possibly one more time about half way through pad life, mainly to shorten the lever throw and get a nice solid bite point.

nah pad knock back, it's more of a car term from when the hub is loose or the rotors are considerably warped and the pistons in the caliper get knocked back away from the rotor causing a long pedal. So you double pump the brakes on a car that does that if you're racing so you get a good pedal and full braking power every time. Same symptom here, obviously a different cause because knock back requires the wheel to be spinning to happen.
So I bled the brakes. Air only came out of the master cylinder and it didn't change the lever issue. What did fix it was centering the caliper on the rotor. I didn't even check that, just assumed GG did it correctly on their assembly.
I took the day off to get another ride in, since it rained mostly on Monday and it got over 40 today, only spot with enough clear trail is a lame spot but it does have a nice little 2 foot rock drop to flat that my wife and I sessioned. I dialed half a turn of high speed compression into the fork and a complete turn into the shock. I think I'm going to change the travel to pistola size and probably add a volume reducer to both the fork and shock since I was still able to get a pretty hard bottom if I landed like a jackass. I'm happy I was able to hit it like 10 times and my ankles don't care.

yoann on trp / ext? thats what it looked like on the freeride fiesta video
GG/DH rides again
that would be cool!
EXT really has to make a double crown fork as rumored somewhere else here
This. It looked like everyone else was on a DH bike...if only there was some way to make a DH bike. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
maybe they'll be announced together
No, I don't buy SHIT coffee at Big Bucks. It's like paying $500K and getting you a Geo Metro. Go to real coffee shops.
But instead they will make the crown and steerer one solid piece of aluminum.
The stanchions would creak.
that’s what the oem should do after mounting them to the bike
