Ive got a bike with stock Di2. Not updated the fw yet. Can I turn off the battery preserverance by changing my gearing type to mechanical in the stunlocker and keep the Di2 or this works only if the deraileur is also replaced with mechanical?
I didn't plan to buy the 38 Factory. Rather considered to stay with the stock 38 Performance as Crafty R is equipped. However my worries regarding Fox are different. I read about the service intervals which are more often than RS and that the fork is more prone to work less optimal if the...
@scooby82r is your spring linear or progressive? What is your spring lbs and weight if you don't mind. I'd like to go for a 450/500 lbsSprindex for my 87 kg but if you don't bottom out then maybe a single standard coil would be enough.
BTW. Why you decided to go for RS instead of the 38...
I didnt notice before that XR is 170/150 stock. I've been confused if I should keep the 160 at the front or go for the 170 mm as I planned but now it's an easy decission. Thanks!
The bike has already high BB so I'm not worried about that. My previous bike has even a lower BB position and...
Thanks @scooby82r ! :-) Your bike looks awesome. Regarding the mullet option, I think the 170 mm ZEB changed the geo a little bit and maybe that's why you don't prefer this option. In my case I like to go smaller wheel at the rear end to avoid wheel hits on my bum which I noticed on my previous...
Would there be some way to attach an original Shimano battery maybe instead of the completely DIY solutions? For example E-8010 (504 Wh) or E-8016 (630 Wh) as shown here:

Yes, the replacement kit is the way to go and it's available between $100-$200 and the replacements is quite easy I think. Here's a photo of the kit. Guys who offer this can also replace the parts if you send them the engine.
Before my bike arrives I'd like to pick up a coil shock for my Mando Crafty R so maybe some someone knows what shock would fit the frame to get 160 mm travel? The stock is 205 eye to eye and 65 stroke but there is no 205/70 or 67.5 stroke offers on the market which would help me to get more...
But due the idea that 1 cycle = 100% battery and that a battery possible distance is about 30-50 km (it's a 504Wh) then 52 cycles would calculate to 1560-2600 km and all this on a restricted motor. A derestricted would be lower because the power usage is higher but your 600-800 seems to be more...
There's a bike for sale which has a derestricted motor. The app shows 52 cycles for the battery and 430 km on the odometer. Do you maybe know what would be the real distance?
Volume spacers should fix this. A coil spring may have an opposite effect (more bottoming) unless you'd use a heavy spring which will be less comfortable (plush). My way would be adding some tokens to the current air shock. That would be a lot cheaper.
Regarding the chain guide, I've found a cheap ($4) chain guide on Aliexpress and it looks like it may work same way as the OneUp mentioned above. The manufacturer (Zitto) is not a bad brand. Here's it is: US $4.47 53% OFF|ZTTO Bicycle Chain Guide MTB Bicycle Chain Guide 1X System ISCG05 Pulley...
