    World record on a normal mtb

    I think it's funny he's covering his brake levers. They would do nothing at that speed except maybe make you crash. Old habits...

    Easy to remove battery on Rise Hydro?

    With the right tools I can do it in a few minutes but I would never want to do this every time I transport the bike, that's crazy. So get one? :p They're not difficult to install, even if DIY.

    Shimano EP8 Spindle Failures and People getting injured. Where to now?

    I use a long bit, it came with my torque wrench (at the bottom of the first photo)

    Shimano EP8 Spindle Failures and People getting injured. Where to now?

    That's literally the way both Shimano and e*thirteen tell you to install them. Great minds and all that...or just RTFM :)

    Levo Gen 2 Which Coil Shocks Are Supported on Turbo Levo?

    Actually, I forgot the Fox bulliten covers marzocchi as well: https://www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&id=1138 I will update the first post to mention marzocchi is not supported.

    Levo Gen 2 Which Coil Shocks Are Supported on Turbo Levo?

    In the context of this thread, you should contact them and ask. This isn't the place to share anecdotes.

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    That's an e*thirteen part, not Shimano/Orbea. https://support.ethirteen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058908731-Shimano-E-spec-Crank-Manual

    Shimano EP8 Spindle Failures and People getting injured. Where to now?

    Unless Shimano says this is the solution, I would take it with a grain of salt. If you look at the spline profile on the axle you'll see they taper out at the end (they get wider as you move towards the center of the bike). Excessive preloading of the crank will cause it to move up onto this...

    EM600, EM900, M8150 crank weights confirmed

    Shimano has a thorough compatibly chart: https://productinfo.shimano.com/#/com?cid=C-431&acid=C-655

    All reviews recommend upgrading tires - worth it?

    The reviews you're talking about might be for the M-LTD, which came with Rekon front and rear. The Rekon is a TERRIBLE front tire. I think the stock H tires will perform fine, especially for summer. The stock Rekon is kind of a joke in terms of weight, 965g for a 2.4. You can run a much lighter...

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    The seal washer is an e*thirteen thing. It's not a Shimano part. Remove it. (and with that being said, e*thirteen advises removing it for their own cranks too)

    Wanted Shimano 31.8 clamp for SC-E7000 (part #Y79G01020)

    In case anyone finds this thread, I completely forgot that the SC-E8000 is NOT compatible with the EP8 motor. You can't swap from SC-E7000 to SC-E8000. There are several other compatible displays for EP8, but the SC-E8000 is not one of them. However with that being said, even though the...

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    No, it isn't. I can see why you might find the wording confusing, but when I read your email I understood it to mean the actual solution. They are saying attach the crank the opposite way of Shimano cranks. But the wording isn't specific enough, I agree. They really should have just included the...

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    The answer is definitive, not sure what you're confused about. The wording of the email above is a little confusing, that's true, but the solution is not.

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    I posted in another thread, but the difference appears to just be the finish, kind of like X01 vs XX1.

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    Ask Shimano?! Most stuff has been out of stock for months, not just the crank arms. Also since Orbea is using Shimano cranks for their recall that's going to suck up some of the supply. Seem to be standard.

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    Ah ok I see what you mean. Why they don't just include the photo I have no idea :(

    What's the difference? 🤔
