2.5 for some controls and the bleed cap in your Shimano levers. Size 2 adjusts the set screws on the derailuer. Came to realize I’m missing certain sizes too. I thought I was fine with just a pile of Allen’s I had and they became real PITA to pick out the right ones for the job quickly. I got myself a set of labeled T handles that go all the way down to 2.0 and 2.5 and up to at least a size 8. If you have an assortment of metric open wrenches, those are helpful too.įor the Allens, it’s down to personal preference but you’ll be doing yourself a huge favor to get a complete set rather than with spare ones lying around the house. It’s been a while since I dropped the lowers on the Onyx, don’t wana steer you wrong but have a look at DVO’s service documents and they spell out the tools you’ll need at the top. Seems like the only “thin walled” sockets called out for are the 32mm and 18mm for the air spring / damper top caps and footnuts respectively. I want to be able to do work on the suspension, check the bushings and bearings, and replace the BB and headset as needed.Ĭlick to expand.Assuming you are on a DVO spec’d bike… My other bike that I have I converted the drivetrain to 1x12 NX a few years ago and it has a Manitou Markhor which I was going to toy with using the ride kit from shockcraft, but covid hit and it never happened, but I do have some tools from working on that, replacing cables etc, but I am not sure what I need specific to the RAF. I am trying to get all the tools that I need together to save time and frustration. There is also a local trail that has some fairly new jump lines. There are pretty good riding areas within a few hours where I think this bike will shine. I like in NE FL and the terrain here is very sandy, rooty, with some pretty good punchy steep climbs.

I am coming from an older (2015) Kona HT and this will be my first FS bike. When I get home I will check the lowers and throw in Fox Gold 20wt, check the rear triangle for binding and all other fasteners. I won't be able to ride until I get back from deployment in the summer but I have read this thread and the thread on PB trying to get an idea of what issues people are having and what I can order to get ahead of most things.

I was going back and forth between the Scout, the Process, Optic, Sight, the Ripley, the Jeffsy to name a few, but kept coming back to the Ripmo over and over. I just bought a MD Deore build in red that should be shipping to me next week. Well I will be joining the tribe after wanting more bike for a number of years.
