I have a 2021 rail 9.8XT (carbon) and the ethirteen espec steel 36T won't fit. Believe me I tried. It rubs the chainstay big time. I barely have clearance with the 34T. I feel that for quick sprints on fast and flowy trails the 34T is just a little short. The bike should come with a 36T stock...

Any pics? I'm thinking of going this route on my large 9.8

Just a heads up that if you have a bontrager dropper post that's slightly too long you can insert a 10mm or 30mm shim (just like the idea behind the one up posts). I've read that you can't insert more than one shim at a time but you could shave down material from the 30mm to suit. After I...

Just in case it helps anyone, I'm 5' 10' with 32 inseam and the 170mm bontrager dropper was just right for me with the stock seat when fully extended. I swapped seats to ergon coreplus that turned out to be a bit thicker so the 170mm was just too high with the post all the way down into the...

I'm using a shockwiz to try to tune my 9.8XT rear shock. It comes with the super delux ultimate through shaft model similar but not identical to the stock SRAM model here. https://www.sram.com/en/rockshox/models/rs-sdlx-ult-b2 At 215psi it suggests add air and remove spacer. At 220psi it...

Just got a reply from ethirteen....the carbon boots DO NOT fit the aluminum e-spec cranks. Flo at ethirteen says: "thanks a lot for getting in touch. The crank boots for our carbon cranks won't fit the e*spec aluminium cranks that you have on your bike and we don't have any crank boots for our...

My trek rail 9.8 cranks are aluminum. I'm trying to figure out if the ethirteen boots for the carbon crank will fit. Just emailed ethirteen to ask.

I'm looking for the same thing. No luck so far for me finding e-spec crank boots : (

I did end up re-using it and getting it to 30Nm. It felt like it wasn't getting tight but it must have been the chainring pressing into place. It's working. Can't believe how close the 34T chain ring is to the chain stay. It's not rubbing but it's super close. I checked all the motor mount bolts...

I tried a 36T front chainring and everyone is right. There's no way it fits my 9.8XT in large. Even the ethirteen e-spect 34T is super close. Has anyone found an online place that sells the gen 4 performance lock ring and o-ring? Mine felt like it would strip the threads just getting it up to 20Nm.

Finally got the parts to repair. Just checked all the motor torx bolts and all are at 20Nm so nothing loose. The 36T definitely won't fit. Check out pics below. Fitting the stock e-spec replacement steel 34T chainring today along with new chain guide and chain. I noticed that the chain ring...

Love this bike! 2018 SL9 Canyon Spectral

The one up dropper post is really good. I swapped out a reverb dropper for the one up so I could shim a 150mm and it worked a treat. Can't say enough good stuff about the one up post.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm in Austin, Texas and my local store does have a chain in stock. My issue is now I need to wait on the lock ring socket. I have a 36T e-thirteen now but ordered a 34T in case it won't fit. The chain guide was torn clean off. Just ordered another one. I think this...

I can't find anything loose. I've never had a pedal strike do this before! It felt like just a regular pedal strike. The real pain is just trying to find a shimano chain in stock. The existing chain is cracked and bent in more than one link. Ordering stuff now. Just ordered the Unior bosch gen...

This bike is awesome! All was great until a rock strike earlier tonight. Check this out. Never seen anything like it. Looks like the chain came off then wrapped around the pedal and mangled the chainring. I have a spare 36T right now and was going to see if it would fit but I just realized...

The problem with the ebike category is that it doesn't include the existing segments pre-defined for the area. I paid $60 bucks for membership and want to see my times compared to the rest of my group. The fix would be to just show all the segments in the ebike category and show all times in...

Did you end up getting the volspeed? Wondering how it went and if you received any errors.

Thanks guys! I'm doing invisiframe now. What a faff but worth it. I have a couple of bubbles but hopefully can burst them with a pin later. I'm really happy with the invisiframe matt/gloss kit combo so far. First impressions based on a 10 minute ride: The shimano XT drivetrain is much better...

She's finally here. New 2021 Purple Faze Rail 9.8XT in large. Paid for on October 12th 2020 and arrived at the LBS Feb 25th 2021 in Dripping Springs, Texas. I'm 5" 10" and it sizing feels perfect. The reach feels a bit shorter than my canyon spectral in large. All my other bikes have SRAM so...
