I have the incessant desire to install a sid sl flight attendant fork on my Epic World Cup, which for those who don’t know has a proprietary rear shock, so its basically the same scenario as putting flight attendant on a hard-tail. According to rockshox, in order to enable the automatic adjustment f…

The wait is over! The update came out this morning. All i had to do was update software through the app, then calibrate the system like you would normal flight attendant. Only difference is it doesnt ask you for tilt calibration, presumably from the lack of shock data.

Gotcha… so it looks like I need an AXS PM to enjoy the full features of FA. Unfortunate because I already have a different crank based power setup. :slight_smile:

I used FA for a couple of months before putting a power meter on the bike and while it does respond differently with the PM, you’d be pretty hard pressed to notice the differences if you’re not really looking for it.

[image] TravisM: you’d be pretty hard pressed to notice the differences if you’re not really looking for it. interesting conclusion. Can FA distinguish if the pressure comes from the bars (e.g. from a sprint or a bunny hop) or the ground without the data from the powermeter? To calibrate the …

I haven’t seen anything to indicate that SRAM is feeding accelerometer data from the power meter to FA. I think its just sending cadence+power data, so they know how hard you’re working, not just how fast you’re pedaling. If they were getting acceleromter data from power meter, there’s really no re…

[image] TravisM: while it does respond differently with the PM, you’d be pretty hard pressed to notice the differences if you’re not really looking for it. I’ve never ridden my FA without a powermeter, but I have played with the power zones and it makes a very noticeable difference when I cha…

Guys how much do you actually use manual override? I have ordered Epic 8 Pro which has mechanic Bike Yoke dropper. I have hard time justifying spending extra 600 bucks for Reverb AXS + AXS pod, that will also add 250g over BikeYoke Divine SL. I could live with extra cable if that also means a sign…

[image] kecinko: Guys how much do you actually use manual override? Depends on the course. Sometimes very little, sometimes frequently. The only 3 situations I use it - Climbing out the saddle on smooth/steep grades, sprinting, and on smooth roads. On smooth roads, you could just reach dow…

Some interesting tidbits from Pinkbike’s world cup coverage. Sounds like the pro bikes are getting independent manual control of the front/rear shocks. They’re also giving downhill riders a light on the handlebar to give them a position indicator. [Shedding Some Light On Suspension Lockouts…

I use it without the override. I have a tuned transfer SL on my bike
