I replaced the main rocker with a Sam2 rocker, installing which has it's own issues. First, the Sam2 rocker is wider at the mount where it attaches to the frame - fixed by adding 2 slim washers on either side. Second, the rocker now strikes the seat tube at full extension, I actually had to...
I went from a FOX 34 Float Rhythm 29, E-Bike on my Focus Jam2 to a Fox Factory 38 and it transformed the bike - no more flexy front end. I also reduced the rake from 51mm to 44mm and increased the travel by 10mm - made the bike more stable and it handles better
After having 2 DHR-II fail at the bead halfway through their life - both have only been half worn when failure occurred, I have switched to a Vittoria Martello on the rear, still running a DHF up the front.
Will see how the Vittoria holds up.
I've just blown my second Maxxis DHR II - separated from the bead - tyre pressure 25psi. Looking at either Vittoria Martello or Schwalbe Eddy Current Ebike rear tyre. 27.5 x 2.8.
What are your thoughts?
Fox Float X or DPX2 work perfectly in Large or X-Large frames fitted with Bosch motors. Bosch and Shimano motored frames have different rocker designs, what works on a Shimano frame does not necessarily work on a Bosch frame
