2009 Tracer VP question.

[nowlan]

What rear wheel spacing is on the 2009 Tracer VP?

[gretch]

135..

[nowlan]

Does the Tracer have ISCG 05 or ISCG old?

[Jonathan972]

No.

BTW, WRT the 135 QR spacing, there was some complaints about flex introduced due to the 135QR vs. the Through Axle and due to the VPP link.
Both were addressed by the T2.

Having ridden my VPP with Float RC2 160 fork and DHX5 air and than moving to the T2 just now, I have to say I did not notice these but than I'm very much agnostic to any bike quirks and the Tracer VP just ask to be ridden hard into corners.

The T2 has the same feeling just a bit more tamed - more composed.

No? The Tracer VP 100% has ISCG tabs, I am trying to figure out if they are old, or 05. I am pretty sure they are 05 I was just looking for some confirmation.

Cheers.

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Anyway done some digging (look for thread "ISCG tabs on tracer") and interestingly enough the TVP started without ISCG and continued with ISCG somewhere during 2009.

Sorry for misleading you mine was from the non ISCG batch

[big bear]

Jonny is correct.

[gsomtb]

i feel some flex in mine but it's ONLY when i ride over a root that is running the same way as the trail and my tire kinda slides off of it. never in the corners.

regardless, is there a fix for this on an '09?

[bigkat273]

It is ISCG 05

As for the flex in the the rear end, a bolt on solution like CK Fun bolts/DT Swiss DWS skewer will help. I run Easton Havocs w/ the bolt on axle upgrade and it def helps stiffen up the rear.
