    Chainring what size ?

    I really liked the shimano 12 speed slx on the rail 7s I tested. The ability to shift under slight load and multi gear shift is pretty handy. Prices for shimano are fairly decent as well. Eagle is clunky and fussy, especially in sx or nx.I will probably be selling my takeoff nx drivetrain once...

    Chainring what size ?

    36T should fit, as the Rail 9.7 I am waiting on says it comes with a Sram 36 tooth. I’m replacing the sram with shimano, so I’ve purchased an e13 36T to install.

    I think Focus is using non-optimal chainrings on some of their e-bikes (jam², thron²)

    I've ordered the E13 36T aluminum ring for my rail 9.7, to replace the 36T SRAM ring. ETA on the ring is about a week here in Canada, whereas the steel E13 ring was out of stock or not available. I've read about the one time use oring (part# 1270016119) that should be replaced; going to call my...

    good to hear that all is working now. Btw, the e13 ring is 7050 aluminum, not steel.

    I think Focus is using non-optimal chainrings on some of their e-bikes (jam², thron²)

    Does the e13 Bosch chainring fit on regardless of which crankarms are used? I would like to fit a new e13 ring with my existing sram crankarms but I don’t know if they will work together. I am switching from the stock sram eagle setup to a shimano 12 speed setup on my soon to arrive 2021 trek...

    I contacted Fsa Canada asking if they had shimano 12 speed compatible chainrings for Bosch and their reply was this: “We will not have chain rings for Shimano 12 speed at this time.”

    Towing Children with a Full Suspension EMTB

    Trying to figure out the best was to attach my Thule chariot cougar 2 to tow behind my trek rail 9.7. Is the Robert axle project the only/best option, or does trek or Thule have anything to offer?

    Bosch CX4 replacement cranks?

    I hear you. E13 don't have the best reputation for parts that move... I'm hoping the shimano chain will work ok with the Sram ring. I read using the sram quicklink (instead of the shimano quicklink) on the shimano chain helps.

    170mm Fork travel. Anyone increased their forks on the Trek Rail ???

    Nice, I have one on order for my '21 9.7. Both the bike and the fork have an eta of October. Jealous of those who have already received their '21 rails. Seems like Canada got left behind.
