After more reading I am seeing its more about the freehob body and pawls then the stiffness of the wheels.
I just really like my e13 and they are a lb lighter. The weight is a ton for the DT swiss, seems no one has really made lighter wheels for eBikes
I just bought a YT Decoy and not a fan of the DT Swiss 1900 Spline wheels that come with it. Seems I can use my e13 TRS Plus wheels from my analog bike and save a pound. I am not a heavy rider (165lbs) and generally don't wreck wheels.
Any issues with making this swap?
Yea I am considering that as well. Another downfall IMO of the spec on the 29er is with RockShox you don’t have any good air options like the X2 so coil seems like the best upgrade for the rear shock
I have always been a shimano guy then when I got my Jeffsy figured I would try the SRAM guides, I actually ended up liking them so was thinking about staying with SRAM. I feel lie the saints are due for an upgrade which would be nice
How are you guys finding the Code R’s? Also something I would swap ASAP. Looking at parts it seems the RSC is just a better lever which can be purchased separately
You put a 160 on the Decoy 29?
Right now I am thinking either the Decoy 29 Base and then upgrade to Fox or possibly upgrade the Yari to a lyrik with 160 if that’s possible. I really like the e13 wheels in my Jeffsy, not a fan of the DT Swiss they have on the Decoy 29ers.
Great review. You are making it a tough choice. I currently have a Jeffsy 29 and love it. I don't go big on jumps, ride some steep stuff but nothing crazy here in Oregon so the 29er seems like a better move. However I am on the shorter side (5'6") and like the idea of not getting tire buzz. I do...
Looking at buying my first eBike and somewhat hesitant to buy a mullet bike as I am not sure if its a novelty that will soon be gone.
Seems like that's where a lot of companies started but now moving to 29" eBikes. Thoughts?
I have a Jeffsy 29 now and thinking I will go Decoy 29 for the same reason I didn't go Capra. Travel, the less travel and steeper geo the more playful the bike can be
I am torn between the two. Wondering what the main reason was for those who went with one vs the other?
Is the base much heavier, YT doesn't show weight so assuming its considerably more than the Pro
Things I like about the pro:
Code RSC Brakes
Fox Suspension but don't like that its less...
