It can climb but slow only because it is heavy bike, actually i'm not aim do to championship climb...... at the end of the day, it is just leg power to bring you up the hill but also need to tackle to set used also....you can be putting 38T and expect to climb well

Fully revamp most of the old component to new one

Rear 11 Speed - 11-51T
Front single chain ring - 28T

Suntour good brand?

Way better than cheap china brand.
But beware of fakes.
Especially SR Suntour Epixon model.
I have one Epixon bought from FB, the serial number is legit when check at SR Suntour website, but after I disassembly it for service, I found that the damper catridge is not from suntour and the air spring side is nothing like the original specs. The top seal also stiff as fu**..
Now the fork is dead. Doesn't move at all even after I change the damper catridge. Even my old coil spring suntour is better than my fake epixon.

Mine using small old QR.
Not TA.

On the very first ride. 
Very harsh ride.
Even harsher than the old coil fork.

I thought it just need simple leg service to replace the oil.
But as soon I got to see the damper, I notice the damper is stuck, hard to move.
At that moment, I thought only the damper is faulty.
So I ordered new damper. After replace the damper, same thing happen. Harsh.
So, right now I think the seal also is fake. When I compare the seal with the coil fork, it is huge difference in term of softness.
The original coil fork seal is so much softer..

Yup.
But he said, he source it from shop also.

RM590.
Standard price I think around 700-900..
I think thats why it is so cheap, fake.

I think if I can change the top seal it will improve.
Ive bought cheapo top seal before, but it dont fit.
Need to find the legit Suntour ones..

any tips for hillclimb for MTB.  i just bought a computer bike + cadence + heart rate sensor . Newbies here.

ask pretty23....I still noob

Actually, for our terrain here and trails here, it is very rare that we need 220mm rotors unless you are riding your eMTB DH. If you are heading to Chiang Mai and riding down Doi Suthep and are a bit heavier set and tend to brake a lot, then yes, these 220mm rotors would help especially with brake fade.

I don't get what you are trying to explain here. "Fork manufacture sure will try to adapt and make compatible for DH fork" ?????

What becomes mainstream? DH forks? What are you referring to the fork manufacturers that it will become mainstream?

Oh, you are referring to standards. I think you got the standards confused right? Because boost is the sizing in terms of the gap. But even with forks, with boost and non-boost you have fork travels from 100mm all the way to 220mm.

The same with rotor sizes, from small all the way to large size. From thickness differences (thicker for ebike standards) but at the end of the day, the standards by which the rotors are usually used when mounted is either you use a 6 screw or a center lock.

So again, how do you take rotor sizes going mainstream in comparison to the boost standard? Because whether it is non-boost, boost and super boost, the fork travel will have different varying sizes based on the style of riding. Similar for rotor size, different people will have different uses for it. Nothing wrong with choosing the one that suits you the most.

Of course, they are a business not a fcking charity. They want you to change but you as the consumer have the right not to change. But first and foremost let me tell you a secret, you don't mount the rotor to the fork.

Sorry for you bro, btw SuperBoost is already on its way. The new Evil bikes already sport SuperBoost standards especially for the rear

It's been a long time since my last input, how's every dai-gor and si-fu?  

A little bit of update for my bike hunt.
I'm going to get a Polygon T7 (Closed some sales, got a bit extra on the commission), deposit paid now waiting for stock to come, seller said estimated it will arrive by Feb 2022.  

In the mean time, I had got myself a 24" fat bike, it is for getting myself into shape before the new T7 reach. It's a China made fat bike that not really fit my geometry, but that's what a RM800 bike get you, right?
After getting the bike, I had changed some component, e.g. stem, handlebar, F & R derailleur & shifter (although still China made, but a length better then the one comes with the bike), saddle and a dropper post (Short legs   ).

After 20years, I can say that I'm totally out of shape, my 1st ride doesn't even last for 15mins....    

Well that's warps up my updates.

Happy riding!!

I regret most ditching the original wheelset too early. 

it is cheap, only RM75. I plan to make this bike a city bike.
