Otherwise, very happy with it and can’t wait for next season to test it on more challenging terrain. I intend on having the bike serviced again before the end of the season to see if there’s a remedy to the chain drops. I would fit it with a chain guide if I could but I have no way to mount one.Īll in all, I really enjoy the bike and have no residual issues. It could be just a function of the narrow chain and wide range or it could be a design flaw. It seems to occur under these circumstances specifically as it only occurs at one of my favourite trails where I need to build speed over rock in order to make climbs. I’ve had a few and mainly when I’m carrying speed through janky trails. Nothing to complain about since the replacement. With the issue resolved, I really like it’s performance and feel. Built on an ALUXX SL aluminum frame, Fathom 29 features updated geometry that produces a stable ride quality for. I assume they regulated this issue for the 2022s.

Apparently there’s a design flaw in the damper that needed replacement for the first few production runs of the fork. I had to replace the Crest fork almost immediately. I have the 2021 version and have been riding it hard all season, in all sorts of terrain from flow trails to very technical, sloppy cross country and pure rock.
