It's completely accurate, assuming your ride is a straight one-way descent on a paved bike path while enjoying wearing a skin suit, eating an ice-cream cone, with a tailwind. @njatherton thanks for the info & screengrab

Yeah nice, that’s impressive! Stock tires? May we ask your weight? I have a route planned that’s over 4000’ and I’ve been thinking of re-tuning the motor specifically for it, so that all 3 modes would be in the eco/trail range.

It’s all good. I know it’s enough bike for me on many of those same trails. I get that it’s not the right bike for you, I have no problem with that. As you should be OK with other riders preferring the EXe, or a hardtail, over a Powerplay (or any bike really) on the sea-to-sky. I can...

It’s true, they are. Yet, people ride them on hardtails. I ended up riding Fromme once with Chris Holm on his unicycle. He hit most everything! I took issue with the FB post since it seemed to imply the EXe is not enough bike for those trails, I disagree. This bike can do a lot of things well...

That’s awesome, glad I could be of help! Gotta say I am really impressed with how quiet these bikes can be- Once they’re rebuilt!

Per the Trek website, 40mm x 8mm pin mount lower. Suggest replacing the shock bushing with a bronze bushing while you are at it. Have a shop do the labor if you aren't familiar. These shock hardware threads are making me very thankful my town has such awesome bike shops. There's at least 3...

@Canyon Shawn I'd check closely for that lockring seal brought up previously (post #1603), and make sure you get the protective sleeve mentioned in those same posts. You should be able to see the lockring seal between the lockring and BB spindle. If they're not included, at least get them on...

I’ll order them up this weekend, excellent sleuthing gents! It’s be great to know the PN#’s for the seal & sleeve are, if I can figure that out I’ll post it up.

That's a great question. I've wondered if the ISIS BB tool w/o sleeve simply pushes the seal inboard, where it's a bit less effective but still there.

Mine looked exactly like yours. I was freaked out when I saw that part of the manual, as I had just removed/re-torqued that lock ring multiple times, trying to hunt down a creak (which ended up being my rear hub driver). I haven't heard of anyone recieving that sleeve, and it sounds like Trek...

I have been wondering if a mismatch between shock hardware & DU bushings could be the source. I noticed Igus bushings definitely have a larger I.D. compared to the typical bronze DU bushings Rockshox uses. I just noticed this when switching shocks, swapping to the bronze bushings fixed it.

@speed300 Nice build! I’ve heard something About a plastic spacer that needs to be installed behind Shimano microspline cassettes, might be worth checking- If it only happens while pedaling. Just got back from a 15 mile snow ride. My “amazingly quiet” EXe started creaking badly midride and I...

:oops: I've said it before, but I completely tore my bike apart hunting down creak. Because it's an eBike and thanks to forums, I assumed it was the TQ motor or lockring. It was neither. It wasn't rocket science- no lube on the seatpost, headset, cables were too long, some bolts were loose and...

That’s awesome. Y’all in warmer climates are making me jealous!

Was that the “grinding noise issue”? Doesn’t sound like what I was referring to, which is the grinding noise we can get repeatedly when soft pedaling uphill just below the motors pick-up threshold. And is easily avoidable: pedal harder or use an easier gear. I’m not claiming this motor (or...

This issue is 100% repeatable when you do something that is arguably 100% user error.

Could you swap the wheelset out with another 12spd boost bike? Have you checked the cassette, greased the hub splines? Mine was creaky when new, but has been silent the last ~25 rides. The quietest bike I’ve owned in years.

I do think the range comparisons are completely inaccurate and misleading though. Actual range is completely dependent on rider weight, trail surface and assistance level. Saturday (below) I killed my EXe battery in 2900', but that was climbing in snow with full-power eBikes. They all finished...

Sure thing. If memory serves me, the Ohlins came with Igus bushings (white nylon like Fox uses). I fit the shock up and noticed some play. I pried the igus bushings out and pressed in some standard bronze DU bushings, and those fit perfectly with the stock Rockshox shock hardware. If you were...

When I bought my 9.8 (October '22) I learned the 2023 rockshox forks require entire new air spring assemblies to change travel, and they were not yet available. I heard February- so worth checking, but may not be available immediately. Pretty sure the super deluxe also has travel spacers which...
