The thing for me is that it's not about battery life, and on any decent tire I can climb anything, so it really comes down to chassis balance. If I place the exact same tire & size on any bike, it understeers horribly and this actually slows me down through the turns. This is because most bikes...

I've done roll-down tests on my pedal bike testing different air pressures over much much bumpier terrain. My entire roll down area wasn't but around 150' long. The short answer is that the lower the air pressure, the further a bike rolls, on my very bumpy terrain. It's very repeatable and not...

Will you be able to objectively feel 3#? Yah, nearly for certain. Will it actually make any difference in your speed or any other component of your ride? Nah. Almost certainly no difference here.

I've followed all of the rules in this thread and have 9 or 10 partial charges on my battery and exactly 3 full charges. This morning I did the 3rd full charge in my home (my Relay battery is removable and my garage is pretty hot) and within 5-10 minutes of the chargers full charge indicator...

Doesn't that leave your BB super low running mullet in the 29er position?

Well, pretty sure the actual worst thing you can do for your battery is store it while completely DIS-charged.

It's an insanely good bike and I'm very happy I went this route. That said, the rear Float X air shock is quite simply the worst modern shock I've ever ridden when combined with this rear leverage curve. It's a small- medium volume air shock combined with a very progressive rear suspension...

If it's removed, will the manufacturer know that it was installed? Thanks.

The record isn't great on many of the e- bike motors & the Fazua is probably below average in that ranking. I choose a Fazua equipped bike specifically because what the specs and reviews said about it, suggested to me that the Fazua has the best combo of natural power delivery, noise, weight...

Sag is right at 29%, seated. It's odd that we are so far apart in psi. Maybe one of our gauges is way off? Maybe me having an XL with the longer CS length & the Mullet setting changes these things? I tore my Relay apart and put all of own parts on it and am running a Mezzer Pro up front. It'll...

Most of the Pivot Fazua problems are related specifically Pivot software.

I wasn't having any problems with mine but it was replaced under warranty along with my motor. You probably should submit a warranty claim with your local Transition dealer.

I've already lost some bike fitness but I feel better overall not killing my legs and pounding down the carbs. I look better as well. I still love meat bikes and even have a new frame (Smuggler!) on order, but I want to keep it for the trails that aren't so climbing intensive. I did 15 miles...

Good info. Also: Fazua 60 in the Relay/ Pivot SL/ Haibike/ etc. (60Nm motor & 430Wh battery) - 4.26 kg I don't have any points of e-bike reference but I can tell you that with big grippy tires and an Enduro bike build it's enough battery juice for me to ride longer than my body can go, 2x...

Couple of other notes: 1) So it has been record breaking heat here in Central Texas. 107' is common, with the heat index it's about 115' Fahrenheit. The trails here are also very chunky, especially the ones I ride. They are also steep but not for long. As much as the heat kills me, I've been...

Yes. 2 volume reducers, 1 big 1 small. Take them out. It's much better that way. I cancelled the EXT Aria air shock and ordered full Avalanche suspension instead. for the front and rear. The suspension leverage ratio is really ideal for a coil shock, so it just made sense to go that route...

Two other points that were nice that if you push the bike, because the cranks are spinning, you already have a walk mode engaged. Also the cranks spinning off jumps and what not should help keep the front end from dropping as power is still being sent to the rear wheel, similar to an MX bike.

Nah, think I noticed a tiny scratch. Whatever...

It's not about pinching pennies, heck I don't think there is even a price difference between DD and Exo+. It's about finding the best components for the rider to optimize their bike's performance. Well for some it is. Obviously others prioritize sale prices or sturdiness. Even though I...

Terrain is essentially loose rocks over hardpack in bone dry conditions. Pressure is checked of course before every ride. I run inserts front and rear. Use to run close to 27psi but about 22psi with the inserts. I've always been hard on tires on both bikes and motorcycles. It's not totally...
