    Shimano E8000 - not smooth, 18nph top speed

    Sounds normal if it's in a stand. One crank will exceed the speed limit. Engagement is a bit harsh in boost mode and there is a bit of overrun. Assist drops off quickly at 18mph, there is minimal assistance up to 20. Is riding a trail in trail mode have the same issues?

    Battery squeak

    A bit of Park PPL-1 silenced the external battery. I almost never remove the battery, but when i did, I could see white sections of where it rubs on the mounts.

    Hi there from Arlington Virginia..

    Welcome. The rear shock will be fine. They spec the same one on the sworks. I weigh in at 215 and have a Monarch Plus RC3 on my Stumpjumper and it's great. It's similar, but with an external reservoir. Only a little fade at the end of long downhills. Make sure you get a decent shock pump...

    Berkshire Cycles, bike preparation for delivery to customers.

    Nothing against Specialized, I own a Rockhopper, Stumpjumper and a p3. They likely started out with one or two spare motors, but soon they didn't have enough in stock for same day replacements and settled on six. Six motors a week seems high. A few years ago, Porsche owners were upset that...

    Berkshire Cycles, bike preparation for delivery to customers.

    Sounds like Specialized has some manufacturing problems with so many motor replacements. Also, I don't like the idea of a shop taking apart a factory fresh bike. That being said, thanks for the video and insight behind the scenes of a shop.

    Meta Power 27.5 or 29?

    27.5x2.6 is incredibly stable. I might have gone with a 29er for a bit more efficiency but it was unavailable at the time. The XL fits me perfectly at 6'1" with a 150mm dropper bottomed out. The XL now comes with a 175mm dropper which will be too long for most.

    Shimano Steps E8000 locking ring tool

    It's needed for remove or replace the chain guide. I was thinking of replacing the stock chain guide with one with a bash guard, but haven't purchased the tool.

    Commencal 2019 range is live

    Poor choice on the 175mm dropper. 150 is perfect for me bottomed out on an XL at 6'1". Prefer DT Swiss wheels with strait pull spokes and torque caps.

    Orange Essential inbound!

    All of the cables were too long. Needed to shorten them, luckily no need to bleed if done properly. Codes are working fine. Newer Guides on the DH have been fine. Etube has been working fine recently, Android 8.1.

    Kenevo - 2019 BoXXer RC DebonAir™ 29 DH upgrade

    Clearance, assuming you would be running the tubes slightly higher in the triple clamps to offset the geometry changes that come with adding 20mm of travel. My head angle went from 66 to 65 after adding 10mm of travel.
