Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but the SRAM Eagle system uses and X-Sync chainring, which works alongside the XX1 chain to give thousands of kms of wear life (I have two, both fitted to ebikes, that between them have covered over 5,000kms, neither of which are showing beyond 0.5...
I wouldn't trust a single thing from Ali Express and would rather spend out for the correct part, even if I had to wait for it, which will have been made to all the correct tolerances, not just the length.
My Deep Smoke 9.7 should be with me Monday, though it won't be going anywhere until I get the Invisiframe fitted, so at least next weekend (weather dependent!). SO excited for this bike, as I love my Levo SL but hate the motor noise. Also hoping that (very) slightly less travel might make me...
My 9.7 arrives Monday, but I desperately want to wrap it before I ride it. Problem is, I can't find any size small frame wrap kits in the UK! Can anyone help please..?
No, you would also need the lower bolt and the bushings and mounting hardware. What you have in this link is just the upper two bolts that fit the Trunnion mount on the shock.
Almost certainly. I would always assume that any manufacturer will tell you the frame has been tested using the shock specs (stroke and eye-to-eye) listed, and use of a non-standard shock will void the warranty. That said, you could always message Trek and ask.
Hey all, I need to give up my long-travel addiction, as the slams are getting harder and harder to absorb, the older I get! So, I'm looking for a 120-130mm bike and the Neuron:On almost fits the bill. I think it's just an angle-adjust headset away from being almost spot on in fact.
What I...
My E7000 is just approaching 10,000kms. However, I believe I'm right in saying that the E7000 can't be serviced/repaired anyway, is that right @Bearing Man?
Nice new set of Michelins, for winter, which I then took out for a good thrash round the local. Climbing grip from the DH34 is insane!!! Despite the greasy mud and roots, not a single slip on the way up, even on more tech stuff too. On the way back down though, there was plenty of control, but...
If I had the money, I'd be getting one of the BMC bikes as soon as they hit the UK (January I'm told). Awesome looking bike for someone who needs to take their riding down a notch or two, for medical reasons. I currently have a 170/170 and a 150/150, both of which allow me to ride in styles that...
Gary and I share a disability, when it comes to being on a bike forum - we work in the industry and often know what we're talking about. I would like to think I have a more diplomatic approach than Gary, I'm certainly nowhere near as prolific as he was, but I know that we shared a sense of...
The Performance Elite forks (or shocks) share the same internals as the Factory kit, just without the Kashima. The Performance forks and shocks don't. However, what the guy asked was whether a Performance 36 has the same damper as a Performance 38, which it does.
I got to ride a Syrion earlier this week. Sadly, due to injury, I didn't get to go nuts on the kind of trails I wanted, but I did get to have a decent test of motor and battery. The motor does make a noise, but definitely not as noisy as my Levo SL. It's probably a touch noisier than a well used...
