I agree with other comments, keep the bike and work on your technique AFTER getting your suspension dialed in properly. Gravity does indeed work the same on a 10Kg bike compared to a 100Kg bike, but the lift you get from suspension preload and release is different based on the weight of the bike...
I got one of these a few weeks ago. I ride in super rocky terrain and have rocks flipping up and hitting the frame all the time. I've used helicopter tape on many areas of the frame, but the downtube is a big concern for how much abuse it takes. i had some extra thick clear marine vinyl zip...
My son got an H10 a few months ago at a killer price. $5200 He was trying to get an M20, but they kept messing around with him (told him they had it and then another guy at the shop sold it to someone else the same day, then back and forth) and finally offered him an H10 for 20% off. So glad he...
Might be specific to the wheels on the M20, but I don't know for sure. My M10 was set up by the shop for tubeless before I picked it up. They do it as a normal set up. I don't know if they had to add tape, but it's been perfect. I switched my wife's Trek Powerfly with tubeless ready wheels...
It's certainly a pain that we have to do it, but it's a quick and easy fix as long as you have a torque wrench. I think it took me a total of 15-20 minutes.
Nope. I don't give him any food or water when he sleeps by the bike so he's really angry.
Actually, I have the worst watch dog/ guard dog in the world. He never barks at people and if someone came in my backyard, I'm sure he would run right over to them and want to play. If you use the...
Just ask them if they torqued the crank pinch bolts to the proper 10Nm. If whoever your talking to says yes, you can be sure that they have no idea. I don't care who installed them, I'd check them myself. It's about a 5 minute procedure to remove the arms, remove the spacer if still there...
Yeah, stupid situation and in hindsight a poor choice to use the Ethirteen stuff without proper testing on the bike. I do think they are fine once installed properly. The pre-load caps are just that, for pre-loading the crank arms. They do not retain the crank arms if the main pinch bolts are...
I'm sure you got those wounds from saving a young child from an attacking bear...at least that what my wife would have heard.
Glad the bike didn't get damaged. That's always my main concern after I assess that all body parts are attached and functioning. A small gash here and there will heal...
All ebike motors have a certain amount of over run when you stop pedaling. I think the EP8 on the Rise has very minimal over run. Mine is about a 1/2 of a second or less . I've tried to see if it will do it longer, but every time I really pay attention to it, it seems to be far less than a...
Dropping three pounds is a very expensive endeavor on a bike with pretty good parts specs to begin with. It can be done, but I think to get a bike that is really a good ride and not just a super lightweight frankenbike as well as reliable, you're going to spend way more than what you would...
I agree. I think that if the crank is torqued properly with the spacers removed that there is little reason to think that the crank is causing spindle failure. It seems to have the same purchase on the spindle as any other crank and therefor is unlikely (but not impossible) to be related to the...
Just curious, had you done the service referenced above with removing the spacers and torquing to the popper specs? It would be important to know if this is happening after the recommended service or only to those that hadn't done it yet.
