The one issue on the 18 early release

Kingranch12 · Feb 11, 2017

The only issue I have found so far! There's no way to adjust the air in front shocks the plastics are in the way of shraider valve no way to get on unless shocks taken out or flipped over to valves on bottom! Anyone else get there's yet and find this issue ??

I think the actual issue here is just using air shocks in general.

And second issue why the F@@@ is cat still using an aluminum bottom gear sleds got 71 miles on it from today what's good gearing for these things since the bottom gear is already showing wear and need to change it before next ride

With the 8 tooth drivers 19/50 is a good combo for high elevation.

What about low elevation I am in the northeast and rarely see anything over 5000 ft according to the gauge on sled

At that elevation, I would run 20/49, or 21/49. We have the Hyvo gears on hand and you can use the stock chain. Let me know if you need any help.

What ever you think is best for my application I am interested in also should I change up the clutching

takes like 5 mins to drain it and refill. i did mine at 140 miles.

I don't see a problem with the aluminum gear, never heard of one breaking.
Yes they wear faster, adjust the chain tension and you will be fine.

Yes I know it's quick but why not fix the issue the first time taking apart so you don't have shavings floating around and getting into the bearings it's just a piece of mind and you know 100 miles down the trail it's not going to ruin a bearing

A thumb warmer that warmed my thumb would be nice too.

i see your point but theres a drain plug so no taking apart right.

does the float pump fit on the valve with the front end lifted off the ground?

Nope tried that it's really annoying almost like the shocks need to be flipped over so that it will fit

You talking about the fill plug at top ? I didn't see a drain pug when I checked but there was also snow packed around bottom I know there was no drain plug on my 16
