    Dengfu E10 - The CHEEB V1.0 - Discussion

    What would have been great to see as well is having it made up with 'quality' Chinese forks & shock to compare & also bring the build cost down.

    My new 2021 Trek Rail 5 Purple Flip

    Yes definately. Over here in NZ it seems the 5 comes with a 500wh battery so you'd have to go the 7 as the base model for upgrades really if you wanted the 630. Thats another couple of grand to begin with & then the logical upgrade is the charger 2.1 in the yari to upgrade to the lyric spec. DVO...

    My new 2021 Trek Rail 5 Purple Flip

    It sounds to me a good idea buuying the 5 & upgrading however wouldn't it be a struggle to sell the stock parts being as that they're not really upgrades to anything?

    Complete new drive train - cheaply

    I've been following the most durable chain thread in the general forums but was wondering if someone could hold my hand & advise what would be a cheaper setup would work with my 2020 rail 7 hub etc I am quite happy to go to a 10 speed & good old steel as long as it has a 51Tooth to get up the...

    Lower back pain after every ride. Anyone else?

    I got an emtb as I was getting a lot of back pain from riding uphills on my accoustic. Since buying it I haven't had any back pain (except of course from lifting it over fences but that's another thing). In hindsight I put my lower back pain down to my hip flexors tightening considerably during...

    Rail 7 2020 vs 2021

    This may be fake news however I heard the other day that a couple of containers of Trek bikes actually landed on the wharves over here in NZ bound for the shops then were recalled to be freighted all the way back to supply Europe or the States. Hmmmm Is Trek a publicly listed company cos I want...

    Shockwiz suspension tuning

    Thanks Steve. The reasomn I was asking is I may try one on my yari & see if it recommends any more than basic pressure, tokens etc before I take the plunge & buy an expensive charger 2.1 upgrade. I didn't understand what you meanty by having a heavier friend help me?

    My Rail, Resting on Stuff

    If I was doing it again with a L or XL frame I'd file off the top tabs of the spacers & use a normal stem. I ground a couple of receptacles into a normal stem. After a minor fall I can feel a 'tinking' sound at the end of travel of the bars which I'm too scared to look into incase the knock...

    6’4’’ 300 LBs. Trek Rail 7 or Turbo Levo ?

    Don't let what Bad piggy said about Rails put you off. I would say he rode the one in ten thousand Bosch (not Trek) motors that have a problem. Spesh have had their motor problems but now are worked out. I would make sure first, before you set your mind to one particular bike, that there are...

    Gossip, supply shortages

    Yes it's hit other consumerables as well. I went into a couple of chain stores looking for some brake pads & they were out of stock with Shimano (NZ) unsure when they're coming in. Luckily the small corner LBS had some. I mentioned to the owner noone else seems to carry them & he smiled & said...
