    Chainguide upgrade, whats good?

    Suppose I were to buy a Reverse Components chain guide - then which mount should I pick? From this thread I gathered that actually both ISCG 05 and Bosch Gen4 work fine (using stock bolts and spacers)? I have a 2022 9.7 model

    Rail 9.7 chainring rubbing

    Checked my rail 9.7, there were a few minor scratches. No biggie, have put helitape, still intact after a couple of hard rides. Bike has about 500 km now. Anyway, not really happy how axs wireless derailer works with SLX cassettes, and shimano chains seem to be just made of soft cheese, as...

    Focus jam2 shock up grades that fit with tecpack

    Just a cautionary tale here - since I bought DVO Topaz based on reviews in this thread as well. I used Topaz on my Jam2 in total for about 100 hours under the same conditions where I previously used RS deluxe for 1000+. Same bike, LBS, wheather. Paint starter to wear off at its shaft. After...

    Anyone fitted a DVO Topaz shock to a Jam2?

    To revive the thread - I used Topaz in total for about 100 hours under the same conditions where I previously used RS deluxe for 1000+. Same bike, LBS, wheather. Paint starter to wear off at its shaft. After mailing DVO support they suggested to send it to one of their service centers, where...

    Focus Battery Check

    When I had the same issue, it was about one of the plastic pins in the charger port being broken. Just re-soldered a new one

    Making your own tec pack?

    @sdcoffeeroaster if you're still using the battery pack - how does that power switch button working for you? I had the same one, which gave noticeable sparks every time it was connected to a bike and I turned it on. Eventually it just gave up. Had to replace it with another (presumably more...

    2021 Jam2 with recently fitted Rockshox Domain

    Can't say about domain, but 160 zeb also feels quite awesome on my jam2 2017

    Winter riding kit - stuff to keep you warm and dry

    I've tried a couple (like 3-4 different brands) of heated socks and none of them seemed to heat toes properly except for savior brand. These are most expensive, but sometimes are heavily discounted at Ebay. These socks absolutely rock - they are the only ones I've found to keep the whole length...

    Making your own tec pack?

    I've added the same switches to my two packs - one had to be inserted directly to the wire cause pack itself did not have any place for installation, to insert other I've rebuilt the smaller pack. Will post pictures a bit later, after I've given each of them a bit of real life testing, but so...

    Making your own tec pack?

    I've noticed this quite a while ago as well. Actually, several of the connectors have gone bad because of this -> see my posts with pictures above. Next time I'm building a pack (or repacking current one) I'm definitely incorporating a switch to take that initial connection `spark` away.

    Highest Mileage Steps E8000 Motor

    My first motor had a noticeable wobble in left pedal - started at around 2k km. At a 4.5 it was still fine, but I decided to replace bearings in it, and in the meanwhile installed a new e8000 bought from ebay. The new one has no wobble after 700 km so far. In the meanwhile, installed new...

    Anyone converted from Focus straight steerer to "Normal" tapered?

    I've installed Cane creek 110, ZS44/28.6 ZS56/40 without any issues

    Jam², 160mm fork + other suspension questions

    On my 2018 M-sized Jam2 stock 140 mm reckons came with 51 offset. Swapped them for 140 DT Swiss F535, with 44 offset. To be honest, did not notice all that much difference in steering, although the fork is definitely much better. Then installed MegNeg for rear shock, stock Deluxe. The change...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    @S13 @Bearing Man Does anyone already/still sell bearing kits? My motor is just over 4200km (although unlocked, so maybe this counts as extra mileage too) and there is a right crank wobble. I was fine with it before - this has actually started around 2-3 thouthand kms earleier - but now bike...

    Sheared battery bolt on Jam2

    Hmm. This bolt looks exactly like a through axle, just sizing it a bit odd - only 75mm in length. This would also explain why there is inner thread

    Sheared battery bolt on Jam2

    Focus have replied that they do not sell to individuals and only to their dealers and kindly provided a link with their addresses. Out of 25 dealers I contacted so far only 2 replied with - "no, sorry, not interested" (well, figures, how much can you earn by selling a single bolt), all the rest...

    Review Ergon SM E- Mountain Core Prime Black 278 X 160mm Saddle

    Had this saddle from December until a month back - when one of two CroMo rails got badly bent. Mind you, I was gentle with it, never sitting through the rough stuff and never went past the allowed limits on rail markings for adjustments. It went back to the shop where I bought it, hopefully will...

    DVO Topaz T3 delivery pushed out to End of 2021 or later, now looking for an alternative for my med 2018 jam2 Carbon..recommendations?

    steve_sordy possibly interested, however, stock shock on my bike was 210x55, don't think yours will fit?

    DVO Topaz T3 delivery pushed out to End of 2021 or later, now looking for an alternative for my med 2018 jam2 Carbon..recommendations?

    While not answering you question, still would be nice to know what are the other piggyback shock options for 2017/2018 jam2 size M. But the looks of it, fox float dpx 2 might also clear the frame? And if mounted upside down - hopefully diy battery pack (which you also have)?
