    220m up grade need help ??‍♂️

    There's also the 200 / 203, 220 / 223 difference - I don't know why; you'd have to be aware of what standards you're using. That might be why some here have had to file or play with washers?

    CVT getting closer

    CVT in motor scooters is amazing. There is so much more available power, and much less weight. The big downside is no engine braking - kind of like an emtb. I did come across this shaft drive system with gears - it is still in it's infancy

    Riese & Muller Delite Mountain Rohloff - anyone had any experience with one?

    2 months 2,000km touring Review It doesn't really come across as an emtb like your picture does. Are they really the same bike?

    From what I've been reading, yes. More power, better modulation. I also imagine less time on the grabs = more time to cool down between grabs. Bigger pads won't heat up as quickly. I've actually had a couple of shimano resin pads lose the braking media; just left with the metal backing plate...

    Thanks for that. I've been doing some reading on forums - it seems to be down to oil volume used to push open those pots. Some pots are larger diameter and supposedly need a different lever. So the 6120 for $75 should be compatible :). There is a remark on shimano site for 6120 that states only...

    It was originally 180mm, I'm now on 203mm. I can get an MT-520 caliper or under $100 au - it's what I have on the front. I'll keep looking. Also found a Deore BR-M6120 4 pot for $75. Don't know which one is better. Or the SLX BR-M7120 for $104? I think it's MT-520 vs SLX BR-M7120. I'll have to...

    Actually, reading up on it, looks as though I should try upgrading the caliper to 4 pot first and metallic pads.

    Official Merida eOne-Sixty thread

    long, loose over hard, steep fast descents - I tend to use the rear more. They're cheap brakes - resin pads etc; it's mainly to deal with heat. I thought if I'm going to change rotor so that I can run metallic pads, I might as well try to go bigger for cooling. Also, apparently the caliper is...

    Has anyone mounted a 223 rotor on the rear? If so could you provide details of your setup please.

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    You're right. Tubes are also a better option for those who ride infrequently. I use a tannus insert in the rear - you can research them here. Basically use a smaller tube with the insert. I also get the lightest model tyre in what I want; for me that's maxxis dhrII 2.6 maxterra with an evo...

    They would work well on emtb with something like tannus

    and bugger me - he's done a zimmer on the wheels and tyres too, check out the symmetry! It would be so easy to mess with his head :ROFLMAO:. I'll start; the tyres arent quite matched up with the valves, and, yellow maxxis on one tyre, white maxxis on the other :oops:

    There is no question. Shimano has the fastest motor.

    Ahh, if we could only identify the faulty ones! Of any make :rolleyes: Sorry to hear that ep8 is also lacking reliability, like the rest of them; some more, some less.

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Originally, pre ebike, because they're lighter. I run a maxxis dhr evo - it's the lightest (and cheapest) 2.6 casing for the dhr, but I use a tannus insert. That's on the rear. Front is tubeless.

    Is the orbea Rise suspension progressive?

    It does look like a short spring though. They've made something fit.
