Ekano 3 friends, how are we all coping with the weight of this beast?
Just got my Ekano 3, first off, wow what a machine. It eats climbs, it is just mind boggling.
I am upgrading from a canyon trail bike with a 140mm fork and 130 out the back. And going from fox to rockshox is a whole other thing.
But when going downhill, the weight of the bike is unreal, really struggling moving it about comfortably. And when it comes to drops, forget it. Nose dive each time. Thankfully no mishaps, or OTB. But it has been so dry recently cant say it is mud on my trousers.
And this is all on trails where i wouldnt have any issues with the analog bike.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or do i just need to have an extra helping of “just man the f*ck up” for breakfast? 🤣
*** update
Went back and set up both fork and shock from scratch over the weekend and wow! What a difference. Bike feels incredibly good now. Bike running very similar to my old analogue one.
Had to speed up the rebound in the fork and slow the shock down. Also added some more air to the shock, and think it needs a tad more but night and day difference
