I have the XT RD M8100 Shadow+, if that is what you're talking about. I think I bent the bit that holds the jockey wheels months ago, and straightened it by eye. It has just worked, no trouble. I have 52 / 32 (12x) set up.
Well, I did a search for my battery in the link above. It is an 8035. The only firmware updates were for the systems when the battery first came out. Counting cycles and battery degradation doesn't necessarily have to be done by the battery, I would think. Yep, just checked again, you can look...
You should keep a record while you're dialling in. I do, for each bike. For example my tyre pressures have changed from running tubes - to tubeless with exo (actually needed to go up in psi with tubless) to back down with tyre inserts. Keeping a record is awesome - measure how much suspension...
I tried tubeless on the rear and didn't like it. I had to add pressure because there was less damping without a tube. Now, that's a dhrII with exo casing; just not strong enough. I have a few exo tyres for the rear, so I've bought a tannus insert and smaller welter weight tube till I use those...
I prefer the assegai. I still have the original dhf which I ran while it was dry. When I first changed to assegai I thought it wasn't as high volume as the dhf. After living with the assegai for the last 6 months I'm happy with it - it has just worked. I changed to assegai when it started...
I can imagine that you aren't happy with that, as I can imagine you would have made it work somehow. I'm actually impressed with Rohloff's response though. Many businesses would sell you something knowing it wouldn't work for you - without knowing that you could make it work. This suggests some...
Yes, that makes sense. I should have done some quick math - 46 charges for 2200km sounds phenomenal, but it isn't. It sounds as though you have a routine for charging, supposedly our batteries are happiest between 30 and 60%. This is just something to consider. I charge as needed. Most of the...
I have a doozy - for a while now I've been charging to roughly 60%. I keep a record but I only go by the battery bars left on the display, the rest is a guesstimate. Eg, if I have one bar left I try to accurately guesstimate what percentage that is, 10 or 15 etc. always rounded to 5%. I'm always...
Are you talking about the app? I've just seen that - it looks pretty bad according to reviews on g00g1e play. Looks as though it has bricked a few bikes and quite a few warnings not to use it. Reviews are generally bad :( I see a firmware update that you also mention from 31/8 for the display -...
Just looking here on g00g1e play. I haven't connected for ages or used it. Looks like it bricked quite a few bikes. Most reviews from 1st september (when was the update?) are pretty damning with warnings not to use it. If your bike is all good and you don't need the app, I wouldn't be in a hurry...
I haven't applied this update yet - I've had no need to use the shimano app for ages, still don't. Has anyone had any issues with it, or discovered any worthwhile changes other than newer battery compatibility? I assume walk mode is the same and everything else is still the same?
I like that idea of internal gearing - preferably with the motor (more centred mass). That would be a win win. Realistically, I think the rear mech is more exposed on the highest gear, than it is on the lowest where it is very close to the wheel and well in from the chainstay. If I was with...
This got me thinking again - and I came up with something that is relatively cheap too. These particular ones have some vents - other soccer guards don't seem to. Because these go around the ankle as well, I thought it would help hold them up meaning that the top strap would not need to be...
A new video connected to the link above - it looks as thought they used topeak racks. I'm guessing they were sponsored. The racks still look good though, also quick to attach / detach.
Awesome - found a good video on them; again it's sponsored but still looks good.
Whatever you get, it would...
yes, I think you're right. I'm light on suspension so took the tokens (2) out of the shock so that I can run reasonable sag - 30% @ 150 psi now. I was @ 115psi and who knows what sag. It is much better now. Re rebound; I found myself bouncing around on slow manoeuvring rocky stuff so added...
