You should be ok. Just undo the dropper lever from the handlebars so the whole cable can slide easily, remove the battery, loosen the cable retaining brackets below the battery & push/ pull the cable up & out of the seat tube.
Use the existing cable & put it in the new post. Best if you get...
I use walk mode to get over large tree trunks. Lift the front wheel so bike is vertical, push walk mode, bike walks up to tree trunk & climbs itself over. When you get to the other side drop front wheel down & ride away. They will climb over nearly anything with a bit of grip.
Way easier on the...
I've never seen a Kiosk display so interested to know what kind of perentages you'd see man vs motor. I know there are many factors but what are some ballpark figures you'd get climbing a reasonable grade?
I replaced the moco damper with a RC2, & SKF seals. Night & day difference. Absolute night & day difference. I'm not usually one to rave about how good things are, in fact I'm generally cynical but even riding down the driveway the plushness was apparent. On the trail it was beautiful. The...
A good pic should tell a story. If it doesn't it is a waste of space.
I've posted 3. They are the only ones I thought worthy to be shared.
And what's with the selfies -are we 13? & photos of food- are we 70?
Don't underestimate the massive increase in comfort dropping to lower pressures though. I dropped my front from the usual 20 to 18PSI (cushcores & EXO DHF) for a very long tight rocky descent yesterday & it made the ride so much more enjoyable.
Great stuff Thanks for the details. Just to confirm - the motor fitted straight through the bottom bracket? I was under the impression you had to remove the pressfit BB & put in these spacers...
That is exactly what I've been chasing up this afternoon. I have a green one that I am potentially putting a motor on for the wife as 'real' emtbs have increased in price so much.
Can you please share the parts you got & where from? Did you use a Lekkie press fit spacer?
The motor does sit quite...
The last off- Rode a couple of Grade 5 tracks ( I think black diamond over there?) with my FF on. Took the chin bar off for the climb to a grade 3. Boosted over a 2 ft table top, went a bit pissed & came down on bank. Time slows down as it usually does in these instances & I remember thinking as...
Yes. I am always tempted to do it to my Trance however after all the maths it comes to about $2760.00 NZD delivered here(1930GBP) which is a third of the price of a Rail 7. I also factor in the replacement of the old drivetrain, overdue fork service, pivot bearings prob need doing etc etc & it...
It is quite an essay writing exercise though to work your way through to the actual final price. Always looks good until the total comes up.
I like the easy pressfit BB option for Giants.
Well since the Vitus doesn't come with E specified, brakes, forks, chain, saddle & drivetrain I can see a lot of death happening. Pity, I was quite warming to Rob.
