Hey Steve i fitted my 36T on Monday but haven't ridden with it yet. You can take a look tomorrow.
I did notice the chain line on the new ring is slightly offset, probably about 1mm further away from the frame. I found that there's no real fitment issue but i did need to move the chain guide up...
Overbiked? Hell no. Confident? Yes!
My eone sixty is an absolute machine and i love it. In fact after changing out the air shaft the Lyrik is now at 180mm which has made it even better. It does everything from technical single track, trails, climbs and then it just eats up the big stuff. It...
Yes i think wheelies are probably easier. You can do them up hill in a lower gear which means you're limiting your speed so if you do loop it you will be able to land safely
I have had zero issues with the E8000 in my e160. Performance has been great, no weird noises or abnormal behavior except i have recently noticed that under load and moderate cadence there is a shudder or pulsation from the motor which can be felt through the pedals.
Most noticeable in boost or...
Well i found a sweet deal on a Race Face Turbine R 150mm dropper( Re-branded Fox Transfer) for a little over $200aud delivered. It's a nice upgrade as the standard 125mm Merida post failed and was replaced with a 100mm TranzX under warranty.
Can confirm the fitment is good on my large frame -...
Yes it's money will spent and only cost me $65AUD which is very reasonable. Did you run any tokens on the front? Setup chart recommends zero @ 180mm but I've gone with one and it's perfect.
Haven't opened up the rear yet as I've been pretty happy. Standard is 2 tokens i think I've read? Gnar dog...
Loving my 160, i can't get enough of it. First ride out today with new bars and stem. While I'm at it I've gone down to 760mm wide which is perfect for on the trails and single-track i do. Also loving the 180mm air shaft in the Lyrik. Feels super smooth up front and the little bit extra bb...
Not a bad idea. Still undecided which way to go, so i think i will remove and measure this weekend to confirm fitment and at the same time i will be able to check how the cable is doing. I've only ridden it 3-4 times since the most recent replacement. First time it only lasted 2-3 rides before...
Thanks, no problem. Another question... Twice my factory dropper cable was rubbed through, jammed and required replacement. Seems to occur around the bottom of the frame where it pivots. Is there a clamp or protection the should exist in this area? Seems like there is a sharp spot inside the...
Why do you suggest removing the motor to install a dropper? Even if replacing the cable you could use the existing cable to pull the new one through, right?
I've been looking at the oneup v2 180mm. Looks great. Super short overall length. Short insertion length, 33mm stack height (approx 60mm on most other droppers) and travel can be shimmed down to 170 or 160mm. I think this should fit...Only problem is i have seen some bar feedback on the oneup...
Will be replacing my dropper to get the most travel possible as currently only have 110mm What is the largest dropper that can fit into a large size frame? Does anyone have a rough measure for max insertion length?
150mm dropper i think should fit, that's what I'm leaning towards at the moment...
