I've ran the x2. Much prefer the 21+ rockshox super deluxe thrushaft for my terrain. If you weight close to 200lb X2 will be at max pressure and not work well on the Rail IMO. Float X resi hits downtube and doesn't work even on a large gen3 frame.
Just an update on my frame. Trek offered me a 9.7 frame for $250. I was told alloy frames would take months to get. I feel like they should send me what they have in stock free of charge but it is what it is. Hopefully they include a matching battery cover but not holding my breath.
I had noticed the area looking weird first of the year when I replaced all the pivot bearings. Lately, I hadn't been washing the bike much and wasn't paying attention to it. I've had the bike since 5/20 and have about 5k miles on the frame. Second motor. Seems like two cracks to me. I also broke...
Stans makes a Schrader tubeless valve if you decide to go that way. The stock brakes work great if the pads are bed in properly, hydraulics bled correctly and calipers are centered on the rotor.
Fellas keep an eye on those alloy E13 espec crank arms. Mine needed replacing as they kept coming loose but I didn't realize the damage until I went to install the new set. Bosch says they haven't seen this before. The driveside arm killed the spindle circlip. I only found a small piece of it...
Any Bosch certified dealer can download the Trek file if you have a Trek bike. Other brand bikes won't see the update as an option in the Bosch software. Saving the file to hard drive and uploading to non Trek bikes doesn't work. I tried.
FYI for those who don't know. The Bosch software allocates 2% of battery capacity for lights. Whether you have a light or not if the light is activated in the software it takes up storage. So, make sure if you dont have a light hooked up you turn it off with the software.
There's very little hate. Most people around here are very accepting and think they're cool. The Waltons ride them as well so no issues with trail access.
