I'm 209. All geared up - a lot more. I ordered the heavy springs. In whoops, sand, G outs and rolling trails, its awesome. In jagged rocky terrain, it beat me up quite a bit. But I like my suspension really plush. I can tell, the springs are right, but I might have to get some valving done. I...

Yeah, but the Stark app is what I'm having trouble with. It doesn't record the ride accurately. I tried OnX running in the background for a short ride and it seemed to work great.

I'll try it again soon and report back. Absolutely love the bike.

That ODO reading on mine is not accurate. I did a couple of 5 mile rides around the neighborhood, then I did a 40 mile ride in the desert. After all that my ODO read 33 miles. Then I did another 35 ish mile ride. It wasn't keeping up. Then, when I got home and recharged the bike, it now reads...

My GAIA GPS app should work the same way. But it seems like when I switch back and forth, it cancels the GAIA and it has to start all over. I guess I can try it with Strava. Seems weird that Strava (or GAIA) will work out there but the highly advanced Arkenstone ride app won't. WTF?

Brilliant! Does this work for recording your rides on GAIA or OnX? Thanks!

I hate the f'n thing. I can't stand fiddling around and pressing buttons on a phone to perform the most basic functions like recording mileage for a ride. As mentioned above, one ride might have 4 or 5 'rides' recorded and none of them are accurate. There's no trip function. Twice now, I've...

And just like that - it came to life. Oh well, thanks anyway. MG

I'm loading up my EX to go riding tomorrow and the Stark App won't load. It just shuts down and says "App not responding" or something like that. I shut the phone off and turned it back on, no help. Thoughts?

Cut the collar off, works great. Thanks.

I cut the collar, buffed it down, works great. Thanks!

Ah, very good, thank you!

Sorry, what's the 'bolt trick'?

I took the kickstand off to see if the round 'auto up' collar was removable. It's not, so I put it back together as is. Has anyone figured an easy way to delete this feature and allow the kickstand to stay down? Thanks, MG

I like the one where the guy just made a handle on the existing charger. It's not much bigger than those pelican case conversations and you still have the handy lid/flap to hide all the cables. Plus the aluminum body looks pretty cool. I'm going to experiment with that.
