I bought this fork too for me hardtail, but I paid close to rm900 for it if I remember correctly.

I'm planning to open it to "convert " to 120mm.
I shall see the internals by then.

You do know this fork can convert between 80mm to 120mm.?

Look at the bright side. At least you didn't buy a fake with the original price. Lol.

Back in the 90s, I once used an oval chainring crankset by Shimano, 200gs.
they call it the biopace

I hated it.

I find it "tiring".
Don't quite like it.

Something doesn't look right here
Hahahaha.

Is this a trend or just a wrong installation of the fork ?
The offset macam terbalik?

Lol.

Usually the 27.5 are for frame size S. But it depends on the manufacturer.

Now trending is mullet set up
Front 29 , rear 27.5

What's your headtube angle ?
That will affect the climbing. Tyres ,... Don't think it is so significant.

Bkt dinding AM trail

What you using at the back?
I believe when it comes to climbing or rolling resistance, rear tyre have bigger effect.

Risk. Lol

Scary to use components with this brand.

Got. Me and another two riding buddy.

But I would like to remain "anonymous".

Sorry

If you love jumps drops and gaps.
PCP is for you

Dinding is also another place you can consider.
Got a few DH trails, AM trail , fakawi and fukuyu trail.

Yes.

Next you should try riding a chromoly frame.

Is your saddle height set up correctly?


Since t7 comes with a dropper, put it to fully extend first.
Get someone to hold the bike straight as you sit on it.
Put the pedal , either right or left, at its lowest point.
Rest your heel on the axle/centre of the pedal... When the saddle height is set correctly, your leg should be in a relaxed straight line.

Once set , check your knee line to the pedal axle again.

If it is still off and you are particular about this setting, you may need to consider changing the crankarm to a different length . The crankarm that comes with your bike should be a 170mm.

Be aware that longer crankarm = more prone to pedal strike if you mistime the pedal position when going through terrain.

Trust me
Just straight go for the t7

You will appreciate the additional suspension travel and the geometry.

And then sooner you will be poisoned to play drops and jumps.

The new t7 colour scheme is nice. Black and white.

Get magura
They claim it has the "abs" characteristic.
Hahahaha.

Need to consider the reach as well.

What type of trail do you plan to ride?

Mostly xc type of trail?
Then ok, d7 will be fine.

But if you are keen to do enduro type, jumps drops, etc. D7 is not really that suitable.

D7 will be fine then

I had a d7 for 6 months. Good bike, climb well.

Sold it off as I seldom use it. Most of the time using the trail bike.
