Bike currently in the kitchen messing with few bits. Bars are on but lost dropper post cable trying to feed new one through lol. Luckily with screen and battery out it’s a nice easy route! Next is cable management. They are all an ok length but with the dropper brake and remote cable all...

The cable for the screen/remote also seems really long. I can push it back through the housing but wondering if take screen off you can tidy it up a bit?

Are people running high or low? My current bike has a BB of 34.4. EXE has 34.1 in high and 33.4 in low. I do get the odd strike on the old bike. Thinking high is a safer bet? Not sure what crank length I have on old bike though.

Bike arriving today, just the waiting now! Already have my tools ready to swap the dropper and then change the wheels. I’m 100% certified rubbish with gears. When switching from 11-51 cassette to 10-51 cassette how easy is it to dial in? Might just get my mechanic to do it!!

Range looks perfect to me. It might actually last for all my midweek short rides and then have a charge for weekend longer ones. Do you happen to know what size head the screws are and torque they require? Might just buy a tool to keep with the bike so I am not looking for right one every time!!

Thank you! Few bits I have from my old bike being swapped Rovel carbon wheels, OneUp dropper (luckily in the fat size that the exe uses lol), one up bars, Deore cassette (as the wheels have shimano microspline). Saddle will be coming off old bike. Hopefully sale of bits and prices will...

Haha that chalk is a bastard. Will give the XR5s a run. The SE5s might be an option if I like the grip to get the extra strength casing. Will give them a few rides.

What tyres are you running on your EXE? Mine arrives Tuesday and reviews on the XR5 seemed a very mixed bag. Will give them a try first but will look at options. Mainly hardpack with roots and the mud that then comes in the UK! Would like something not to draggy but nice grip for flowing...

South east. Friston Forest and South Downs are my riding areas.

Seems like a lot use DHF/DHRii combo here. But Maxxis but blimey all these options of compounds and casings etc I am a bit like WTF!! Anyone suggest best options for easy tyre?

Anyone got a new or as new one they may have taken off a new build/upgrade. Deore level is fine. Just thought would ask before ordering one online.

Good shout on asking what the locals use. Might just use the XR5s as a base and see what I like or hate about them!

My Fuel is coming with a Sunrace 11-51 cassette. I would like to put my carbon wheels on and they have Shimano microspline freehub so looking to get a shimano cassette. Apart from weight, is the SLX a better cassette? I am guessing I can get a DEORE cheaper thats come of someones new bike and...

Getting my first emtb and hopefully arriving this week (Fuel EXE). It comes with 2.5 Bonty XR5s but not reading a lot of positive reviews. My carbon wheels on the ex8 I have have 2.35 Wolfpack Trail/Cross combo which I like, but not sure they would be ok on the EXE (although they do state they...

Is there a lot of difference between Deore and SLX cassette apart from weight? Not sure what one to get.

^^^^ thank you! Trying to order a couple of parts but these brakes and adaptors are messing with my brain! Maybe I will just go 4 clamps lol. How much gear adjustment will be needed going from a 11-51 12 speed to a 10-51 12 speed cassette?

9.5 ordered, I know its the entry one but my budget was originally 3k so I am already over but It is a starting point for upgrades! Think it will come with TRP SLate brakes, I was looking at some of the adaptors to run single clamps but the dropper one is difficult as my oneup dropper remote...

I used to have the strips on my Bonty wheels and never had any leaks but the pain of getting some tyres on was felt for weeks! I now have some carbon wheels and had to re-tape them the other week. Never done it before, but after a few attempts they looked good. 8 rides later and still all good...

So think my new bike is coming with TRP Slates. I know they are not the best but needs must as I have spent all my money on the bike! I will be installing a XT Shifter which is adaptor which is HD 4.1. But when it comes to the OneUp remote it gets a bit more tricky as OneUp do not do an ispec...

^^^ thank you. My budget is only allowing for the 9.5. But I can’t see any other lighter e-bikes anywhere near this price. I’m sure for my riding the RS35 will do until funds allow maybe later in the year. Have an SLX cassette, XT shifter and lighter wheels/tyres at the ready. Along with my...
