The rear rekon doesn’t have any real grip unless you’re just mashing gravel trails, and the extra weight of the bike means you do end up carrying more speed ( as well as the fact that the bike is so damned fast) into turns so the brake upgrade helps, you’ll probably need a different adapter...
About to go for a big ride with my range extender for the first time, managed 75km with about 1100m and got back with 11% last time without the extender.
The only issue is that offset bushings in the yoke can bring the shaft body too close to the yoke edge. Would be interested to see how close anyone has managed to get it to fit.
My extender arrived today. Just reading the instructions and noticed that it has different sizes cells than the internal battery?
18650 vs 21700 is this why the motor will pull from the external battery first?
Pretty sure putting a 216x63 shock on is a bad idea, adding 6mm to the i2i will really screw up the geo. If you do want to long shock it the best thing to look for is a 2016-2018 trek slash rear shock. That is 210x60mm so won’t mess with the i2i but give 154mm rear travel.
Ahh love my 5010, have a 2016cc with a mix of XTR/XX1 and the wtb carbon rims. The most fun bike I’ve ever ridden. Running a 150mm fox 36 up front and a 200x55 custom dpx2 in the rear for 140mm travel. Have done everything on it from weeks in pila and Morzine to epic 100km days of single track ?
Had a failure of the drive system today, two blinking red leds. Got the bike back home and linked to the E-TUBE app and it shows the following.
powered off and left for 10 mins, back on and everything was fine...
Only thing that has changed recently was the wheel set, which now has 6 bolt...
No it helps to prevent bottoming out the shock, if you have the sag set correctly and you find that you bottom out the shock too easily you can install a larger volume spacer and that will provide a greater ramp up on compression.
