So after today's ride (before washing the bike) matey and I took a closer look at it, degreased the fork, thru axle etc, then ran a little pinky round the inside of the adapter and discovered a small bur. Filed that lightly, then regreased and refitted and all is good for now. I'll keep an eye...
I can fully understand why you would do it, I want to too as the cut-out is like hitting a brick wall. I am just very reluctant to do so whilst still under warranty, these toys are not cheap.
every time i remove the front wheel thru axle on my E2 the hub axle end cap adaptor shifts with it and makes it very hard to remove the wheel until I manoeuvre the end cap adapter back in place beside the wheel bearing. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone come up with a solution? I was thinking...
Thanks, I have internally cabled plenty of bikes in the past so I'm well used to the hassle of internal routing. I think I'll hold fire until I buy a 200mm dropper, no point doing the job twice
There are improvements with the new EP801 motor but I'd still advise not power-washing, not submerging etc. Water ingress is what causes them to die but ingress from splashes running along a cable would be well down my list of concerns.
If it concerns you that much put a cloth in your pocket...
From day one I've loved the E2, more so now I have the heavier spring fitted and had some riding time on it.
But there is one thing I hate and that's the speed restrictor, it's like hitting a brick wall when that thing kicks in. If UK/EU were even permitted to use the US speed limit that would...
yip but if i do that and its not currently at min insertion that means i can raise it, however it would then need a new longer length of outer housing and a new inner cable. Which leads to the next question, have Marin left the internal nice n handly or does the motor need to be dropped to...
Thanks. I want a higher saddle height when pedalling.
My E2 is size medium and came with the 150mm dropper, it has 68mm of exposed seat post, then the 150mm of dropper shaft. I feel like I could do with raising the saddle about 30mm.
Any of you that have swapped out the original dropper for a bigger one? Do you recall how deeply inserted the original was, i.e. is there room to raise it up higher as a temp measure to get a higher saddle height (at the expense of less saddle drop when lowered)
