And my attitude is like with my tools, "buy once, cry once"
But if I only had 500 miles on an AXS system, I wouldn't upgrade either. Get another season out of it unless you think it might get really abused, then you might be better off selling it to cover some costs of the T Type
I ran the original XO AXS for almost 3 seasons and have had the XX on both a Relay and now my Exe.
The T Type is easier to setup, quieter, shifts under load, more durable, has repair parts, and in my experience shifts just as fast. My only gripe is the new shifting pod...sucks IMO.
Would...
Good to know, and glad you were there so you could swing it in! Its just too bad that a bike that new has a known issue, but hopefully it will get handled quick
Can hear that load and clear, but I think we were on different pages when you said the noise was from coasting. That is from pedaling backwards (not coasting), which if there is a pawl mechanism in the fazua motor for its freehub body I could see it making that. Just don't remember it on mine...
Thats awesome to hear! Those were a lot of my experiences as well, especially navigating the tight turns climbing but that is due to the super slack HTA that I was not used to.
And as great as it would be not sure how an extender would work as the battery has to be removed to charge and the...
Yes, really. If you want a longer travel e-bike, buy a longer travel e-bike with a bigger motor. If you have more weight with the same size motor and battery you reach a point of diminishing returns.
My guess is that they are doing away with the Kenevo SL. They just released the new Levo SL and TBH if you are making a "lightweight" ebike, having a longer travel (heavier) bike with the same motor is counter intuitive.
Im curious about the "click/free hub sound" you mention from the motor coasting. From my knowledge (and experience with 2 different systems) there are not pawls in the motor that would make a freehub type sound. My Relay and Fuel Exe most certainly came from the rear hub.
The fact that they are telling you they don't have any, but I supposedly was able to get 2 of mine swapped out within days makes me think my LBS was BSing me about the motor and Transition new the issue
Glad your down time isn't in the prime of your season!
Wasn't necessarily referring to the motor, as I much preferred the extra power of the Fazua. It was the small (not so small) things like the controller, display and finish when comparing the two.
The controller on the Relay feels like a...
Hope you recover from surgery in time to take advantage of the riding season.
Maybe it was a timing thing, but find it strange that I was (supposedly) able to get a new motor (2) shipped to my LBS within days and you are now being told months.
While I do really like the balance of range and...
Sorry, I could have confirmed that for you through what my LBS has been told by Transition. Now the big question as I have learned with Transition is will the dates actually hold...
For some reason they are really holding up the GX AXS. And I have a suspicion its because between them and Pivot they are having issues with the Fazua system and not really in a hurry to push them out the door.
