    E8000 "bottom bracket" bearing play after 1400km

    No, it should transition smoothly. Maybe the negative spring didn’t get equalised when the shock was pressured up.

    Mapping. Anyone use gps units? or just phones

    I have Memory-Map on my phone for OS maps if exploring. I have a load of maps from green landing days. I imagine it would be pretty pricey to license them all now.

    E8000 "bottom bracket" bearing play after 1400km

    @Danijel check the pivot bearings where the rear triangle connect to the FOLD linkage. I had a dry bearing there which would tick at the same point of each pedal stroke.

    Focus Jam TEC pack

    You can swap about by unplugging the piggy back. The bike will only use one at a time to save any issues connecting a full & discharged pack together in parallel.

    Shimano E8000 range

    Trail mode is great, it does have a downside though. It will throw in loads of assist if you get to a hill, stay in the same gear and mash the pedals. This technique effortlessly eats through the battery. If you use the bikes gears and try to keep the bar graph along the bottom of the display...

    SRAM Eagle NX (12 speed) to upgrade or not?

    Sorry misread, it’s the mech you were asking about. GX mech and shifter has a much better feel than NX to me. The difference being greater than between GX and X01.

    SRAM Eagle NX (12 speed) to upgrade or not?

    If you go to a GX cassette you will also need to change out the hub driver. NX uses a regular splined hub, GX uses an XD driver.

    Hello all, new to the forum and the world of emtb. Little question as anyone had any experience with thok mig cheers

    I don’t know what size it was. I ride an XL Focus because I wanted a long bike for Enduro type stuff. Would be a large on normal sizing. The bike was smaller than mine which I found good fun on the jumpy lines at Leeds. I don’t normally get on with four bar suspension but the Thok was nicely...

    Focus Jam TEC pack

    It is pricey as it comes in a moulded waterproof case along with a second rail for attaching a water bottle cage & rubber straps for spare tubes etc when the second battery isn’t being used.

    Focus Jam TEC pack

    I can weigh one for you tomorrow. I leave the pack on the rail on the rare times I use it. Keeps all the weight down low instead of up high on your back. The plug from the TEC pack end of the extra cable then located in a recess further down the top tube to keep it all tidy & secure.

    Leeds bike park 3rd Nov

    Plenty of fun to be had round the phase 2 development at Leeds Urban Bike Park. Seems the North is the place to look for non Specialized bikes!! (Although every other emtb we saw was from the big S!!)

    Ard Rock

    It is easier to get tickets for the Ard Moor so they may open that up. Boltby Bash has had an e class for a while now.

    Ard Rock

    They don't have to, there is such a high demand already that's why the ticket price is going up so much year on year.

    So I started to crave a 'normal' bike....

    @Bongofish maybe the answer is to go and hire or demo regular bikes every once in a while. It’s a lot cheaper than buying, you can try all sorts of different types and flavours and it will give you an idea if there really is room in your life for one. It’s a slippery slope though, folk seem to...
