Frequently Asked Questions
2022 Santa Cruz V10
-
Can I convert this bike from 27.5" to 29" or vice versa?
No, there are two different compromise-free frames, and they are not convertible.
-
Can I install a Chris King bottom bracket on this bike?
No, the rear triangle might get damaged after making contact with the outer part of the bottom bracket.
-
Can fit a chainguide on this bike?
Yes, it has ISCG-05 tabs for easy chainguide mounting. You can use most chainguides that are made for this standard.
-
Can I buy the sweet Reserve DH rims on the Syndicate?
Yes, if you want 29" wheels.
-
Can I use an air shock on this bike?
The leverage curve was made for coil, but it works with DH-oriented air shocks work. The Fox Float X2 is compatible if the air valve is oriented correctly. It must be in the 10 o'clock position when you view it from the rear. The Super Deluxe Coil also fits. The Rockshox Super Deluxe AIR shock doesn't work because it interferes with the rebound knob.
