Got cush-cores on my Yeti not as good as I thought, won't buy again...got some great forest staircases where I am with steel edges, 60+psi just ping down on full thrash....??
Yeah good riders, I run mine 35+ in the dry for big jump/gaps and high speed downhill (Fort William), if the term "good riders" offends, then lets say "more accomplished".?
Exactly why I bought a Vitus Esommet, blows most of the overpriced competition away with a solid frame, motor and geometry...I say this as I've ridden many brands of ebike and very few are as good as the vitus, I liked some of the Haibike stuff but too expensive....so many out there are becoming...
If it is only trail riding crank those bad boys up...30+...when it gets to the gnarly, steep tech stuff then drop down a few of the psi either end...good riders ride the higher pressures better rolling and less bottoming out on the rims...depends on rims and tyre size too but go as pumped up as...
For all around greatness..Schwalbe Current Eddy's....I have the 2.8 as that's all they had when they came out, been running them for months and the wear is nowhere near as bad as any of the top other big brands i.e. Magic Mary, High Rollers or Minion combo's whatever etc....try them if you don't...
Oh yes, just today lazily rode up a very long access steep road for a trail in the woods and a group I met who were shattered at the top said "how did you manage to get up that"... I said... "I pedalled" one said "he cheated he's got an electric bike" and I said " I sure did and I'll be doing it...
All I'm asking is anyone who has a Rockshox Lyric RC2 Fork, mine is 2019 170m on a vitus esommet to please go out turn the bike upside down remove and measure the Bottom Foot Bolt on the air spring side it is black on the left (not the rebound side which has the cap). I know it is an M8 bolt but...
I've had a Vitus Esommet VR since 2019, changed a few things like brakes, wheels and other stuff...other than that a brilliant bike in regards to geometry. It is a long big bike...I'm 5'7" and in hindsight would have purchased a small instead of the medium so I could throw it about the tech...
Not the same, it is a steel alloy bolt and I'm sure its longer about 20mm, spoke to the guy at TF tuned and he said it's 30mm and agrees I could use any bolt that side but I think that's too long....the other fork bottom bolt for rebound dampening is made from aluminium. Doesn't matter about...
I need to know the length of the bottom foot bolt on my 2019 Rockshock Lyric RC2 Forks, that's the black one on the air spring side (Left). Serviced my forks and forgot to tighten that one up, went out... bolt lost. I know it is an M8 size but need to know the length of threaded section. Buying...
Yeah, Vitus Esommet....I have broken every part of the bike except the frame. Rims, spokes, derailleurs, levers, bars, seat, cranks and pedals etc....the list is endless. Like you I ride enduro Downhill and the extra weight is punishing on parts but to be expected.
Went out three days ago on some forest single track and approached a well known 3 foot log kicker located between two trees no more than a bar width apart. Much to my dismay in my haste to get out on the trail I had forgotten to tighten my handlebars and stem headset enough as I had been...
Riding a Vitus Esommet VR 2019. I've tried out most of the high end tyres out there from Maxxis, Schwalbe with their best rubber....also tried the not very good Butcher's if you are into aggressive riding. I have been recently riding the Schwalbe Current Eddy front and back and they are made...
Just an update on the wear factor of Chain (KMC E11T NPNP ) and Cassette (Shimano's SLX M7000, 11-Speed, 11-46T ) . These both came standard with my Vitus ESommet VR back in January 2019. Since then I've be riding the set-up really hard, big jumps, drops, and climbs etc.... About the end of...
