Hello mr Frenchy,

I would need a new part for my bike, I managed to mess up the small screw for the upper mount of the dpx2 shock.
I used a known good torque-wrench while following instructions, the material seems to be made out of very soft cheese.

See the encircled part in the image. Do you sell them as a single piece, or do I have to buy one of those expensive part kits?

Cheers! :)

Hi Jonas,

Knowing what bike you own would be a great start to answer you question
I also expect that this is a commonly found bolt that can be purchased in good professional hardware stores like Flink Iron

 

[theBrand]

Ibis usually use ti-bolts for linkage and rear shock. Doesn't yeti do that as well?

If they do it's probably a good idea to avoid a steel bolt mated to the titanium receiver.

Oh, ofcourse. Sorry! Yeah, it's a yeti sb130, and I think it is made out of Titanium.

Part # 300030151 Bolt, TI MALE, M6 x 12.0 mm

 

[sgtprobe]

Anyway, I went to titaniumskruv.se and ordered bolts with the same specifications, Hopefully the bolt head isn't too big, so it looks ugly.

Om skruvarna du beställt inte passar kan du höra av dig till mig. Jag har originalskruvar hemma.

Hi there, im on the fence on buying an SB100, i think its the right bike for me... Or would sb130/sb130LR be better (as a one quiver)?

I live in Åre & Stockholm so quite the mix with conditions, have a Santa Cruz Hightower 27,5+ that I intend to keep for the park and some eduroish trails. The main use for the Yeti will be XC trails like Björnen & Fiskartorpet, some chunk like Hellasgården but want a bike that climbs effortlessly in Åre. The goal with my time on the bike is to have fun and not ride in spandex, chasing KOMs... ;)

Rider: 193cm/93kg and ride XL today, avg skills.

Have GX today and like that drivetrain so what build has the most bang for the bucks?

Appreciate your time!

Yeti SB115

It’s time to recalibrate your gray matter with what’s happening in racing today. All it takes is “it’s on!” ¬– Number plates not required. Born to naturally crush the climbs, the sb115 is evolved. Deft on the downs. Designed to race. Capable of ripping right past.

[mafakka]

The sb115 seems to be the perfect bike for me, when will it be available for order from you Frenchy? ;)

Rigth now, although they have not put it online yet so I do not have a live stock level and delivery ETA pick the size, colour and kit from here, I can get back to you with timeline within 1 working day

Some 80 high end mountain bikes (mostly Yeti and Ibis) have been stolen from one of the shops of the Spanish Distributor for the brands.
Frame numbers are kept confidential so that to help trace the bikes back to the thieves but have been flagged by the brands warranty department in case claims are attempted on them sometimes in the future (claims will be denied and reported to the country's police force for recovery of the stolen properties)

So if anyone were to notice brand new 2020 bikes coming to the market via usual sources on the Scandinavian market or internationally on site like ebay etc..., would you be kind enough to PM me with the link and I will forward it to the Spanish authorities for them to investigate follow up on.

Thanks in advance for your vigilance.

Jag tar och väcker liv i tråden igen med en bild på SB165:an när vi är å myser i skogen. Fungerar helt ok att motionscykla med på stigarna, även om den är något överdämpad och möjligtvis lite för aggresiva däck tillsammans med cushcore och doubledown på däcken. Riktigt trögrullad är aset :D Blir nog att införskaffa ett par kolfiberfälgar/hjulset till han istället för att köpa en cykel dedikerad för motionscykling.

I take and bring the thread to life again with a picture of the SB165 when we are cuddling in the woods. Works perfectly ok to exercise bike on the trails, even if it is slightly subdued and possibly a bit too aggressive tires along with cushcore and doubledown on the tires. Really sluggishly rolled is the ace: D Will be enough to procure a pair of carbon fiber rims / wheel sets for him instead of buying a bike dedicated to exercise cycling.

You sir have stronger legs than I do...
Then again my SB165 has 180mm 29er fork on it so the head angle makes it a little cumbersome anywhere but an uplifted bike park

, and the lack of dropper post and 9 gear DH cassette do not help...at least with my legs powering it ;)

Haha jesus, thats a really downhill-bred bike! :D I like my 52 tooth first gear way too much to even consider it.
I can imagine the headtube-angle becomes a bit much when raising the front that much. Im fine with it as is but it can be tricky when pedaling up some cumbersome tracks. I would not want even a fraction of a degree slacker headangle :P

Anyway, im problably going to pull the trigger on some carbon-rims with some easy rolling tires so i can swap over when biking at home. I managed to convince the wife thanks to it being a hell of a lot cheaper over getting another yeti,

Min nybyggda SB130. Helt klart den härligaste hojen jag haft!

Håller nog med faktiskt! Nu har jag haft min ett tag (2020 modellen, sent hösten 2019), och utfallet är nog ändå att den trots allt kan vara den bästa jag haft, allt inräknat. Också den dyraste, haha (ouch!), men borträknat den "lilla" detaljen så är jag supernöjd. Inga mekaniska problem heller trots sin ganska komplexa design. *knocking on wood*

N+1.... always
But a 2nd wheelset also a great way to circumvent the veto powers of the better half...
