Tough call. Itll basically be new after all that and i have a lot of faith in tge frame holding up. Mine is a '19 as well. It saw a lot of vert after my motor blew at 1800km. It took almost 4 months the get a warrantee motor(covid and shimano canada both suck). For 4 months i rode the ljft in...
I miss mine. I left it in the alpine on a 2hr hike a bike last fall one day before it snowed. Took it out to have some drinks while i put pads on and forgot all about it. Theyre ridiculously expensive at 80cad but the 400ml was enough a lot of days or made carrying a smaller bottle as an extra...
This has to be a top pick atm. Will they be offering a frame/motor only packages? Does it have a flip chip to make it ez to mullet? That pic kind of looks like full 9er
2.5k seems steep. I think you can buy a new motor on ebay for 1k and a battery from yt for under 1k. Id just try the battery first and go from there. If i was going to go for 2.5k id be trying to get an ep8 set up from them. Idk maybe its possible they can do that. If it turns out its just the...
Well reasoned. Sounds like a great bike built just as you wanted it. Thatll be fun in NZ. That is one of the plus' having a shimano battery. Theyre probably relatively ez finding a battery to rent if youre travelling
It'd be nice to have one of those old masdive travel bikes in the quiver. Not any heavier than my emtb atm. I remember friends with the regular monster T's stretching their frame headtubes back in the day
I think youre ok as well. If youre worried take it to a carbon fibre repair shop in the city. There's more thzn a few in Vangroovy. Most fix lots of bikes. I bet theyll say ur ok and if theres any problem theyll fix it
One offset bushing would do the trick. It wont slacken or steepen angles but if you set it thin side out it will pull the shock away. Probably best to put it in the bottom shock eyelet. That would lessen the ramp up a tiny bit but that fits with how youd set an air shock more than coil. Minor...
Ive been saying this for a while and no one believed me. The latest trend of ultra steep sa's is for winching up hills on an mtb. On an emtb you have added flow so its more playful not being jacked over the front of the bike. Also on an emtb your seat will be down farther and farther as it gets...
Check out "goodr". Great deal. I have a 5 pair all with different light transmission lens. Pretty happy with them. I typically have 3 pair in my ski pack for different conditions from snowing to super bright days on the glaciers. Those ones are releatively flat so i have them in smaller...
