I bought my trek over an hour away because they had a bike I wanted. The trek store 10 minutes from me has done all of my warranty work for free(bent rim,Battery mis-aligned, new tire, etc). I think they’re giving you good advice. You need to establish a relationship with your lbs anyway.
Replaced my Yari 160mm motion control with Zeb 180mm ultimate. I switched the minolink to “high” to minimize effect of over forking. I replaced my Deluxe RL to Super Deluxe Select+ with MegNeg.
Fork: I installed two volume spacers and running air at 80 psi (10 psi lower than recommended for...
580w max is about what I see on my Brose 1.2e on my Kenevo. I feel it’s adequate power. Just a smidge lower power than by Gen2 Bosch. Hardly noticeable.

Niner Rip 9 RDO.
DVO Diamond fork 160mm
Fox Float Shock 140mm
Crank Brothers 24 spoke wheel
Di2 Shifter
Love the suspension.

Bought my Ebike a partner. This picture is close but not actual bike since I’m doing a custom build. I couldn’t hardly find parts. I went with Sram G2 ultimate because Codes were back ordered. I went with Fox 36 because Fox 38 was like April. I went with Sram XX01 because every other sram...
How do you like this setup. I have a Super Deluxe ultimate with Meg neg on order. Someone is trying to sell me the 170mm Zeb ultimate.
Thoughts on fork geometry change? Thoughts on harshness improvement over the 160mm Yari ? I’m sure it improved, but was it a huge improvement ?
