The walk mode on my Rail 9.8 doesn't consume any electrons because it doesn't really work and I can''t use it. I think it is a common problem with smart system bikes that use a remote speed sensor.
Finally got to see a real picture of the new bike and the specs. Release is next week. The inventory I saw available yesterday disappeared. Looks like it will be a blast in the mountains.
The 2022 gen 3 Rail 9.8 were first to have the 1.8" lower headtube diameter. I use the FSA baseplate reducer to run a Fox 38.
I have never been a fan of trek and specialized proprietary suspension designs. C-dale even more so.
With 4k on the motor it might be a good idea to pull the cranks and install a seal kit (BDU4XX) if water ingress occurred. Save some headache in the future.
I have been racing xc ebike and stage races the past couple years when there is an E class, still racing single speed for USA cycling events. I run the carbon wheels off my bio bike with a 12-28 cassette, and they are fast in tight woods trails. I have not had much competition yet and usually my...
You could also add the "bosch powertube damper plate", search under the Bosch section of this forum.
No disconnect problems with my rail 9.8xt, but one of three friends with 9.8 have same issues as you. My rail 7 disconnects occasionally. I am in the middle of replacing the male battery plug...
The Trek RIB system uses proprietary end caps for the battery cover and doesn't use the powertube mounting plate. I doubt the Pole system would work with the stock cover if at all. If it did work and eliminated the rattle, that would be great.
I like the security of RIB on my commuter bike, on...
I posted this question last year, but about non-smart gen 4. Everything is the same except PCB, which limits container files that can be installed. I have not used a smart gen 4 line speed. I haven't tried the swap because I still use my commuter...
I put 38s on my rails. I briefly thought about asthetics, but function over form.
Friend speaks my mind. My KTM is usually pretty dirty, but I try to keep my H2 clean despite it wanting to spew oil everywhere.
We have a lot of great trails in the Eastern Blue Ridge and Piedmont. Brevard is a zoo these days, and Dupont explicitly says no ebikes. Kanuga bike park near Hendersonville is ebike fun but is pay to play, a membership can be more cost effective. Too many Piedmont trails to list. Warrior Creek...
The 2.5mm shims are two-piece so they can be installed around the shaft without talking the shock apart except for removing the spring and a cover plate. When you order a shim from Fox you only get half of a shim, therefore you need to order in pairs. I learned the hard way. Fox admittedly said...
