Hola Oscar,
Welcome, ......lucky guy living in Northern Spain, I ride over there and you have some amazing trails. We base ourselves in El Perello, but have also had some great days in the Pyrenees, (base in Tremp)
Good luck with the purchase of your new bike!
Used to ride in Thrunton a lot, destroyed my ankle there couple of years back and not really been back much since. It’s great if you like technicle stuff, but at my age I don’t really need the pain that goes with it. My son rides there often and loves it.....never rode there on an e bike, and I...
Vitus e Sentier VRX...... love it .....super slack angles , long wheelbase, ( front and rear wheels have different postcodes !)
Just wants to make me ride like a tw*t, jumping of anything available,, hammering berms.....need to keep reminding myself it ain’t a full Susser ! .... and cost less...
100mm front travel tends to be with tight angles in the headstock ( x country bike geometry from a few years ago)
Good for climbing as the front wheel is tucked well into frame so it doesn’t weave or lift..... however horribly unstable and require a different riding style, and tbh not that...
Will be changing switch unit soon and am not sure the technique for disconnecting / connecting cables from computer / speedo unit.
Got the wee tool supplied but would appreciate do’s and dont’s
Cheers ,
I think a number of factors involved ( as already mentioned) but IMO the adaptor was part of the problem.
Ny situation, fittings a 160mm disc sorted it
Patreon’s situation, fitting 180mm disc sorted it
Summary, 200mm disc is a no no on the Sentier.
Sorted :)
Correct..... and like yourself I have downsized at the back, down to a 160mm ( I had an Avid disc and adaptor available in the shed) and it is sorted....
IMO, there is no need for a 200 rear, it’s to powerfull for the h/t frame. ( and from an Engineering view, the 200 over time could damage the...
It’s not a squealing sound, but a horrid vibration, I think caused by a powerful brake / big rotor, add to this the adaptor is tall I think 60mm tall......as an Engineer all adds up to igreater opportunity for resonance.
Watch this space !
I thought the same...... just got a Sentier 20” and I have the same gap. My mate has also just bought one 17” and the gap is a tad smaller,
So the answer (right or wrong) is they are all like that !
I had same problem, same bike, my mate also has same problem, same bike !........looks like the larger disc 200mm with larger adaptor is creating the problem.
Biggest improvement I made was removing the tie wrap holding the hydraulic pipe to the chain stay....reduced by about 80% couldn’t...
Hi all,
I said I would never do it, why, .... a bit old school, image, what ever,...... but now I am the proud owner of a Vitus e Sentier VR and boy what have I being missing?.... a few mates went the e route and I have joined them.
Apart from the obvious assist, the bike is long, slack and...
