So i fancied having a bike to cover a few more miles and to supplement my ebike. Could be a midlife crisis at 62 but I always rode enduro bikes as a kid and just fancy a bit of soft off-roading.

Hilly days about 30 miles, depends how you ride.

So are you running a mix of SRAM and Shimano?

mines not got one, but it’s never come loose.

i like the idea, however no mention of difficulties having to run 2 cables through an internally mounted frame. I think if I did this it would need to be a wireless setup.

I always follow this. https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/service-manuals/rockshox/front-suspension/zeb-sm-gen.6284-english.pdf#page76

I used Plannet X £99 lots in stock. https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CASR1230AM1150/sram-cassette-pg-1230-nx-eagle---11-50---12-speed

If it’s the same as the 160E you only need to take the drive side off to route the gear cable. the bolts are very soft so beware, the head went on one of mine and i ended up drilling it out. Ive replaced them with allen bolts at 16 mm long...

i’d install the chain through the derailleur and put on largest cog , let all the air out of the shock and fully compress the suspension and see how slack the chain is and reduce links if the chain is to slack. That way you know you can use full travel without putting stress on the system.

Seem to recall when I did mine the SRAM video said. Round the largest cog with all the air out of the shock fully compressed plus 2 links.

Its not paint rub it’s wearing through the swingarm.

I always had heat and vibration from my rear brake. To cure it I removed the sensor and remove the brake adapter, refitted so that it was aligned over towards the wheel which gave more room to align the pads, put a small amount of grease on the connecting surfaces. On the brake bolts I removed...

So today the 42nd ring just decided to self destruct , think i’ll try and find a stronger 11 speed, but stocks seem very limited.

Last year 2185 miles climbed 312,676 feet.

How does it perform climbing hills? Does he gearing equate to say a 1x12 setup? Looks interesting though great write up.

I had to look that up on Google ☺ Caps fan or Canuck’s?

Mine left for uni and never came home. Now a senior lecturer and loving his job but 120 miles away............

Answer Get a fullface , they sit underneath and the padding keeps them in place

On my sram brakes I’ve just swapped over to the uber ebike pads which seem very good. https://www.uberbikecomponents.com/category/538/Tektro-Compatible-E-Bike-Disc-Brake-Pads

Mine is on the bars protected by my light bar which also supports my tool bag.
