Sounds like you know what to look for...suspension set-up can be tricky. Funny how you adjust the rear shock, and that messes up the fork settings that were great before! Softer than MFG's recommended pressures seems odd though. I find 30% sag (w/o compression damping) almost always requires...

@wheelsx2 Thanks for the review, keep the info coming! Pinkbike's Shock Week has been interesting- I was especially interested in the Ohlins review since I've been tinkering with my TTX1 quite a lot recently. Basically, I feel like the perfect shock for this bike may not exist yet. Like PB, I...

Can't say I do- my other bike has their IS42 and the quality is great- but it's not IS41.

Wolftooth sells an IS41 top, I've been very happy with their headsets on other bikes. Meanwhile, a fine weekend...

@Gd3fit Good tips from @KevinNY I think this topic is kinda like camp coffee, we all learn through experience what works for us. My own approach is I don't bring much in the car, but I do check my bike out pretty frequently and I carry most of what I need to get myself out of the woods. If...

@Flow81 good info. Not directed specifically at you, but I think it's often overlooked that nearly all motors have issues. My TQ has been a dream compared to my previous shimano-powered Norco. One of my riding buddies has a Bosch that started smoking and has been in the Trek shop for 2+ weeks...

I used both batteries, used 90% of #1 in eco/trail mode. Once I put #2 in a was in boost for the rest of the day. AQI of 110 and 8000’ elevation, was not feeling awesome but we got it done! I rode with a dude on a sweet new transition relay. He was fitter than me and was able to get the entire...

The TQ display screen that shows rider watts/assist watts is good to check here. While climbing a 5500' ride yesterday I felt like the motor (and myself) were suddenly, seriously dragging, even in boost. I went to that display page and it showed me as putting out 0w (I was at nearly max effort)...

Nothing much to worry about there- the cracked piece is just plastic trim. You coud replace the crank-arm bolts if it bothers you- if you do, I'd look into self-extracting crank-arm bolts which come on the higher-end e13 cranks. You'll want to confirm their compatible.

I'm not really feeling the Bosch. Louder and bulkier than the TQ, it has more power so you need the bigger battery or the range would suffer? I'm in the camp that's very happy with the Fuel EXe/TQ. Especially at these eBike prices, hoping to get 2-3 seasons out of it. But I have pondered a LT...

Merci beaucoup. Je vais essayer ça pour l’instant, c’est l’option la moins chère!

Has anyone sourced a replacement chain guide? The stock e13 on mine is shot (or at least the hardware is stripped) and the mounting pattern looks to be unique to TQ.

This is how we run my partners Specialized Turbo Levo. It was 29” stock and she kinda hated it. So much she was riding her meat bike even when riding other eBikers! She’s 5’-6”. We put a 27.5” 170mm fork on it, 27.5” wheels with 2.5” tires. I have to say it rides great! We’ve run the geometry...

Traveling for the week so can’t say for sure. I’d guess it was 3/8” or 1cm width

I do all my bikes, on the exe I do the remote wire to the dropper housing, and the rear brake/shifter together. Local hardware store has heat shrink in 36” lengths. Use a heat gun on low temp, go slow and do multiple passes. On one bike I got too hot and the brake hose bubbled! Also- if you do...

The coil shock that intrigues me would be a marzocchi bomber CR modified by Avalanche downhill. Aside from their SSD damper mods, Craig can add a bumper stack to make the shock progressive, larger diameter coil, and a shorter reservoir (apparently required for 65mm stroke). You could be all-in...

It is! They call it a “locking dust pocket”. Snaps to the DS crank arm and is a snug fit over the lockring.

Good luck with the surgery!

Those in your link are the 30mm spindle, non-eBike version. The Helix e*Spec are indeed available in 160mm, seems like the same crank for TQ, Bosch & Fazua (all Isis drive)

Picked up some e13 helix cranks, 160mm length. Good value, nicer hardware and finish than the stock cranks. Hoping they stay tight!
