Given SRAM already has the AXS app, they should really be able to transfer profiles between Flight Attendant units without having to physically swap the device.
I was talking to them about that today. Like when the controllers arrive I’m gonna get two more so I don’t have to constantly swap them around. They told me they would look into something like that.
this would make way more sense
Hello guys, I just want to greet you from Slovakia and say that you have a great vibe and energy in your videos. If I lived in the USA, I would definitely buy things from you, this way I will learn a lot from your videos and see beautiful places 🙏🏻👏😉 hang in there and keep going🇸🇰☺️
Sweet vid yo! Reminds me of good days at the shop
Nice
Do you know if the upgrade kit would work with a 2023 Sid Sl? That would be sweet!!
I believe you were thinking of Tamagotchi’s digital pet
100% I realized I said the wrong thing the next day. Had the editor slip a pic in still lol
Great video. Can you use Flight Attendant with power-meter pedals instead of the a power-meter crankset?
Just asked my sram guy about this. The power meter has to be an Axs power meter for it to connect to the fork. The quarq spider or spindles are the only options currently.
Could you describe how the ZFS-5 was different with the FA? I am going to do this exact same thing with the 120 XO and would love to know your thoughts
@bicyclestation tell please, what torque wrench do you use?
Is a epic 2023 also possible. I bought the s works ltd edition dec 2023 with the new sram group, 😢
Can you please review the trek supercaliber gen 2🥺
I would but they won’t release flight attendant for their bike. I don’t think it’s worth looking at until you can buy it with flight attendant. Especially compared to bikes that have the option available. I’ve been asking them weekly and it’s kinda frustrating that they don’t have the option yet.
@@bicyclestationhi Jesse, there are aftermarket flight attendant kits on the way, they’re coming somewhere around the olympics
I bought a Cervelo ZFS from my Lbs recently strictly because of the value. It’s an amazing machine and way more bike than you pay for. To upgrade it to FA, do you use the Santa Cruz “version” shox and damper or is there now a Cervelo FA sku/part number?
I got the Santa Cruz version. Let me know if you want me to source it for you. Email me at jesse@thebicycleststion.com
That's super awesome to know that you can upgrade the fork that easily. Is the SID Luxe shock also upgradable by just swapping out the top control module? If so what is the cost for that?
It’s not. You have to buy a new shock
Thanks for the reply. Love your videos.
what size of frame is that and how tall are you? tnx
I thought you had FA on both a Mach 4 SL and an Epic 8. I currently have a Mach 4 SL and an Epic Evo 7. The Epic Evo 7 desperately NEEDS FA but the Mach 4 SL really doesn’t. Can’t wait to try it!
I have the shock in stock. Let me know if you want it.
@@bicyclestation trying to support my LBS. I told them the day the Epic 8 came out I wanted an upgrade kit as soon as it is available. Just emailed him today to see what’s going on. If he doesn’t respond, I’ll buy from you.
@@bicyclestation Done ✅ (bought from you) My LBS actually said they didn’t feel comfortable testing the new FA retrofit kit on my bike 😳.
Glad we could help
How is the cervelo zfs-5 compared to s works epic 8? or gen 2 supercaliber
The zfs has a bit more race feel then the epic. But the epic is more well rounded.
@@bicyclestationcould you please expand a bit on that? I am coming from an epic (just bought the ZFS and am really considering getting the FA upgrade) and was wondering about the “more race feel” - is the Cervelo less capable downhill/better uphill or what is it lacking compared to the Epic?
Please consider doing a Flight Attendent "fork only" video on a Cervelo ZHT for a fun comparison. In essence your isolating the "Flight Attendent Effect" away from a total system to the nose of the bike only. But keep the power meter and transmission in play . Would be interested to see if the flight Attendent is also of value on a lightweight hardtail.
It wouldn’t do anything. It only works if there’s a fork and shock
@bicyclestation ok . Thanks for the clarification . The more I learn about the system, the more value I see in it. It's truly a pain in the ass having to switch damper settings on the fly in the heat of a race. I now can see my next build using Flight Attendant . When I'm ready you'll hear from me. 🫡
Sounds good! Its totally worth the upgrade
Have you heard if they will have a flight attendant for the WC epic
I don’t think they will
Can this be used without an Axs power meter (running XTR)? The Blur might need an upgrade...
Nope, you need either a Quarq (which is sram) power meter, or their pedal sensor. But you wont get the full benefit without a power meter, since it learns your power output, and tailors how the suspension works/reacts based on your current power. I have the same specialized Jesse has with flight attendant, and its a gamechanger.
Correct. I just confirmed that with my sram rep also.
You can run a 104bcd quarq powermeter with a xtr chainring from wolftooth. I have that setup on one of my bikes.
@@larrysprock That might work - But, it still most likely wont work 100% - Since it uses the sram derailleur for data/gear info to adjust the suspension as well. Dont know if it will just work "worse" - Or not at all, if the derailleur is a pre-requisite for it working. Dont think anyone has tested yet
Now to figure out how to get FA work on an Epic WC.
I asked them. I don’t think it even makes sense for the bike. Flight attendant works really well for bigger travel bikes. The WC is always stiff and designed to only open when it takes a hit.
I was thinking just the fork replacing the brain. The FA fork has been run by a few World Cup Pro’s on hard tails & the Epic WC. RS says it won’t work though 😂
Well it does work as a electronic lockout
Bro please please make a video on Rotwild RX 1000 Ultra
Please
What is that?
Bro its Ebike and Rotwild is a German bicycle brand
I think it is not possible because it's garman manufacturing company you have to import that Ebike
If you can't. It's ok
So please make some more videos on S-Works Turbo levo SL LTD bcoz I love that Bike
I’m down for that. My mom was just out in Yosemite on it haha
