Thank you!
Few bits I have from my old bike being swapped Rovel carbon wheels, OneUp dropper (luckily in the fat size that the exe uses lol), one up bars, Deore cassette (as the wheels have shimano microspline). Saddle will be coming off old bike.
Hopefully sale of bits and prices will...
Haha that chalk is a bastard. Will give the XR5s a run. The SE5s might be an option if I like the grip to get the extra strength casing. Will give them a few rides.
What tyres are you running on your EXE? Mine arrives Tuesday and reviews on the XR5 seemed a very mixed bag.
Will give them a try first but will look at options. Mainly hardpack with roots and the mud that then comes in the UK!
Would like something not to draggy but nice grip for flowing...
Seems like a lot use DHF/DHRii combo here. But Maxxis but blimey all these options of compounds and casings etc I am a bit like WTF!!
Anyone suggest best options for easy tyre?
My Fuel is coming with a Sunrace 11-51 cassette. I would like to put my carbon wheels on and they have Shimano microspline freehub so looking to get a shimano cassette.
Apart from weight, is the SLX a better cassette? I am guessing I can get a DEORE cheaper thats come of someones new bike and...
Getting my first emtb and hopefully arriving this week (Fuel EXE). It comes with 2.5 Bonty XR5s but not reading a lot of positive reviews. My carbon wheels on the ex8 I have have 2.35 Wolfpack Trail/Cross combo which I like, but not sure they would be ok on the EXE (although they do state they...
^^^^ thank you!
Trying to order a couple of parts but these brakes and adaptors are messing with my brain!
Maybe I will just go 4 clamps lol.
How much gear adjustment will be needed going from a 11-51 12 speed to a 10-51 12 speed cassette?
9.5 ordered, I know its the entry one but my budget was originally 3k so I am already over but It is a starting point for upgrades!
Think it will come with TRP SLate brakes, I was looking at some of the adaptors to run single clamps but the dropper one is difficult as my oneup dropper remote...
I used to have the strips on my Bonty wheels and never had any leaks but the pain of getting some tyres on was felt for weeks! I now have some carbon wheels and had to re-tape them the other week. Never done it before, but after a few attempts they looked good. 8 rides later and still all good...
So think my new bike is coming with TRP Slates. I know they are not the best but needs must as I have spent all my money on the bike!
I will be installing a XT Shifter which is adaptor which is HD 4.1.
But when it comes to the OneUp remote it gets a bit more tricky as OneUp do not do an ispec...
^^^ thank you. My budget is only allowing for the 9.5. But I can’t see any other lighter e-bikes anywhere near this price. I’m sure for my riding the RS35 will do until funds allow maybe later in the year.
Have an SLX cassette, XT shifter and lighter wheels/tyres at the ready. Along with my...
Random request, but could you take a photo/photos of the set up? Bike shop said they would set them up how I like so thought if I show them it couldn’t possibly go wrong!!
Just asked the shop if they could do a deal on the 9.7. Probably pushing my luck, but on the 9.7 I probably wouldn't need to change anything for a while and the fork on the 9.5 looks like a very weak point and probably wouldn't even sell for much towards a new fork!
What would be a reasonable...
