I won't be doing a review or pictures anytime soon. Riding Thursday night, I tired to take out a tree. The tree won.
My whole right side is phukked up (knee, elbow, forehead) but the real killer is my ribs. I guess my elbow got pushed into my side and either a cracked or a bruised rib. One...
Correct. I called them when I was ordering my bike, and they said that is the right dimensions for the rear shock spring. That's what I have reserved in a 650lb from WorldWide.
Nice bike! And welcome.
People and their insecurities...luckily, I haven't encountered any e-bike hate yet here in Huntsville, AL, but when I do (I'm sure it's coming) I just plan to ignore them. I rode analogue mtn bikes for the last 12 years, and just recently got my first e-bike.
I'm done...
When I ordered my 2020 Commencal Meta SX, I matched up the numbers to my size large 2016 Transition Suppressor. Their medium was the closest, so I ordered that size. Glad I did, it fits like a glove. Just need to swap out the rear shock spring to something appropriate to my weight (on order).
One critique of this bike that I'm kinda bummed about. The steering has a lock. The bars only rotate about 45° and then hit a lock. We have some really tight switchbacks around here where on my Transition, I may have the bar at 90° while I kinda trackstand around the turn.
I guess it's due to...
Our local mountain has about 60 miles worth of trails. There isn't a single loop we do, we just sort of ride around hitting various spots. I don't know about how much elevation (alot) but the ride we did Tuesday night ended up being about 13 miles and we were out for just over 2 hours.
The...
What I'm loving about the e-bike is getting to the top of a long, gnarly climb that would usually leave me drained and exhausted with no energy to enjoy the downhill properly.
Now, since the climb is so much easier and I arrive at the top fresh, and, the climb was actually enjoyable for a...
I'm new to e-bikes, but I can tell you about my battery experience after about eight rides now.
My first two rides, I pretty much kept it in boost the whole time. I learned pretty quick that that equates to about an hour and half of ride time, max, here in Huntsville which has pretty steep...
Actually, I just checked thier site. A large comes with a 400 pound spring. I beleive the general rule is, if it is still too sagged after 5 full turns of the preload, you need a heavier spring.
Yeah, you don't adjust sag on a coil by cranking the spring down, you adjust sag by increasing or decreasing the spring (change the spring to a heavier/lighter spring) as needed.
At your weight, you might find the stock spring on the large, which I believe is a 450, may be just right for you.
