didnāt know this existed. Glad i read ths thread. I am struggling with how to fit a dropper remote into the mess of controls on left hand side with lockouts and brake and toggs
Also, thatās an amazing weight. What frame size? I got my Spry down to 24.75 at XL and thatās awesome for a roudy, Utah racer. I donāt think sub 24 is possible for an XL without stripping some core components (dropper, remote lockout, brakes, fork).
I just rewatched the highlight reel from this race. Fun to watch Yolanda just smoothly crush those descents, fun to watch Kate Courtney slowly reel in that leader like the Terminator, fun to watch MVDPās absolutely outrageous turn of speed dropping Nino in the menās race later that day.
Oh god I need that too! I just build my own new Lux and the lever clutter on my bars in unbearable. Did you retrofit it yourself or did you have it delivered with it?
Two more thoughts on the Lux assembly. When I got mine I went through 3 cables before I had the dropper assembled properly and the suspension lockout required adjusting - out of the box it wouldnāt lock the front and not unlock the rear. Nothing terrible, but in all three cases it required some basic mechanical understanding and spare cables.
Havenāt taken it for a spin yet, can report back when I did.
I did it and to be honest it sucked. Really only because I had to remove the rear shock to thread the cable though the opening. I tried for an hour to poke it through the tiny opening but finally gave up and opted to remove the shock. Knowing what a pain that was I think I would have tried another hour to thread the cable without removing the shock. Actually taking the shock out was easy but Iām not a great wrench so getting it to compress enough to go back in sucked. That was with the shock with no air, just didnāt want to go the last mm to fit back in. Had to have a friend come over to finish it off.
Not that the pain of the install is behind me itās just an amazing upgrade! Highly recommended!
Coming into this thread late, but have started considering the Funk La Ruta for a possible XCM bike (maybe for 2022, maybe 2023). Riding an Ibis Ripley right now, but curious about how a drop in travel, and different rear suspension link would work (in addition to the frame material differences).
How for the La Ruta pedal wide-open? Whatās kinds of trails do you love it for, and whatās the cutoff point where you say āno longer the right bikeā?
