    Brand X Ascend WIRELESS dropper

    I am trying the tranzx. So far, it's fine. Actuates instantly. Only negative so far is that it's a bit slow and does not have a very loud topout clunk. As long as it works and if I can (eventually) get a spare battery and rebuild kit, I think it will be fine. It looks like this post may be...

    That looks really good. I went with these Amazon ones. They come in all sorts of heights and come with shims to adjust the bottom lip, which is what's really needed given the stock integrated setup.

    Looks like it comes with the lock ring. My dealer gave me one when I asked about it. https://www.ebike24.com/tq-hpr-lock-ring-circlip-set

    I was expecting this to be the case. Fidlock, sadly, won't be a fix. My fidlock bottle rattles too. They start pretty quiet but as they wear due to shaking while riding they loosen up. I am planning to try the Arundel Side Loader bottle cage. That was dead quiet on my Ripley. They are so stiff...

    Figured out an annoying rattle in the frame. The connectors under the display. I wrapped some packing foam around them to alleviate the issue. Worked like a charm.

    So far, not needed. I am not much of a hack to flat rider though. Still working on baseline tune. I pulled the 1 volume spacer and need to see how that affects the ride.

    Yep. Already did all of that. Not my first rodeo. Been riding full sus since 1995.

    I have heard both ways. Looking at exploded views, it is not clear as fox only shows the view of the elite/factory. There is definitely a keyed shaft under that cover. If a 200 lb rider is not getting over 70% travel, having a lot of compression damping could be an explanation. Won't hurt to...

    No issues with clearance. It is VERY close though. I can only say that I am confident it fits a large size frame. The biggest thing for me has been getting anywhere near full travel. So far, the Vivid is working better. I was very happy with the Float X on my Ripley and Ripmos. The large air...

    The cranks work well. I mainly wanted to try shorter. Still getting used to that after coming off 175s for years. The Q seems the same as stock.

    I decided to see if the sicomtbproducts rail mudguard fits. It does. This is on a Large Exe. I applied some clear protection tape on the contact areas. Rode it today and only heard it make any noise on some large hits. Mainly just the lower part contacting the chain stay/bb area.

    Possibly check the toque on the motor bolts. 20NM. If it's never been done, check the compensation screws. Mine were off by quite a bit from the factory.

    Ya, rekons are not amazing for traction. They are fast though and those pressures look optimal. I am running a kryptotal rear and I feel a squirm accelerating out of corners but I like it!

    ...Oversteer at the exit of corners That sounds like power delivery. Maybe experiment with a lower power setting or adjust the tune to be less responsive. The other things I would check are rear tire pressure and how firm the rear shock is setup.

    Appears that stroke adjustment is the same as volume. Just a different type of spacer.

    I was able to adjust it with the stock knob while on the bike. Not super easy, but not like I need to change this a lot. All the other controls are readily accessible.
