There are some things you can do to be able to maintain more speed on both tarmac and flat singletrack. There is no speed limiter, just a limit to motor assist. When ride in the forests it is all steep downhill or riding back up to trailhead so not an issue. When we ride cross country we cannot...
my reason for checking that mech B gap position and chain length ( 120 complete) is that I noticed when I have the bike in the stand, changing into the largest 52t cog the guide wheel is very close to/almost touching that 52T cog. I never use that cog when riding so not that bothered and of...
The only Hybrid ( EMTB) DT Swiss hubs are the 240 and 350. The 240 uses EXP SL with 30T single ratchet. The 350 uses the original 2 ratchet system which is 28T. There are other hubs like the 180 for normal MTB which use the EXP system.
The original DT Swiss ratchet system (2 ratchet wheel and 2 springs) is unbeatable especially as part of a Hybrid DT Swiss 350 hub.
EXP is the later 1 ratchet wheel system which I thought was for road bikes only....certainly not Ebike specific
thought this might be useful (see attached).
Could anyone with the same bike tell me whether the B stop adjuster on their GX AXS mech is aligned with A or B please.
I bought a mountain bike...not a 2 wheeled computer! Not interested in updates. Not interested in ride data other than what Strava can provide, not interested in navigation..........if I was there are far better options than amateur bike motor versions. Leave what works well alone is my motto!!
Not sure you would feel much difference at 38mm.
The other thing to consider is how you orientate the bars.....there is some difference of opinion on that! My method is to orientate the maximum rise perpendicular to the ground whereas some orientate the max rise in line with the headset angle...
assistance +4 dynamic +3
Those settings for me mean I never use Turbo and 99% of the time I ride in EMTB only using Tour+ if I am forced to ride any tarmac sections to get to a trail.
The application of power is much more immediate yet remains controllable so for the type of riding I mostly...
The crack will also allow moisture/water ingress so the lcd display will ultimately fail. Maybe using some screen saver cut to shape would extend its longevity.
I am happy with how my T type AXS is working. I was just stating that I feel it is no better than the initial AXS yet both chains and cassettes are much more expensive. I have yet to see how well the T type stands up to wear however.
The advice from SRAM seems to be that with T type you...
About 150 miles on my 2024 E160 RSX and I am so impressed I had to comment!.
I bought an E160 RSX when they first launched in June 2022 and it performed flawlessly for over 1000 miles and was so pleased with that bike I decided to buy the same bike again in May 24. The only real spec difference...
I realise your main requirement was to move somewhere with access to good mtb but maybe you need to think about overall quality of life.
Weather patterns are pretty variably across the UK and if you are used to Aussie sunshine you may find some areas of the UK pretty lacking in that!!
My choice...
it really does not matter...any lube will do........it is not subject to heat or rapid movement so dont waste money on anything fancy. It is dust/mud and grime that wears the chain so cleaning is more important.
Ah...no. The RSX already has the shape it link fitted as standard. If you look at the non drive side of the shape it link you will see 2 markings...a high and low. If the end of the shock eye is aligned with the H mark the bike is on the High setting. To change that to the low setting all you...
I'm glad he is still fit and well. As far as the bike is concerned I would have a few questions. He constantly referred to the frame he races...so was the Orange bike standard or had he built his own bike from just a frame? He admits breaking other frames including a previous Orange warranty...
It's normal when the motor is first switched on......not thereafter as you are riding unless you are in too high a gear. With a emtb spin don't grind!! Get used to using a higher cadence than on a normal bike.
Firstly check how many tokens are in the air spring. If you are a light rider try 1 or 2 to start with.
Reinstate the air spring compressing the fork 20% of its travel every 15 psi. Then with all compression and rebound settings fully open/ fast aim to set sag at 30% travel. Then set rebound...
