It's a bit strange how this works. Since a while back it became common place for bike component manufacturers to make you go through the bike brand the component came on to file warranty. But with ebike motor systems, the bike manufactures say to deal with the motor manufacturers for warranty...

I found out from Transition that their direct to consumer bikes come pre-packaged from Taiwan. Meaning, when you get the bike mailed to you, it comes as is from the manufacturing facility. But when you buy from the Outpost at TR headquarters, their mechanics pull the bikes out of the box and...

That's a bummer, but good to know.

So far, just within the US. I'm not sure how a border crossing would affect things. As long as you declare what the package contents are, I don't see how it would change much. I think FedEx has a "dangerous goods" declaration or something like that. My friend hasn't used that, he just...

My motor bolts are still creak free. Last time I did them was in March I think... I'm not sure of the mileage.

I don't think you'll have much luck with renting one. I mean, I went to Bellingham and Transition's HQ didn't have any to rent. I have a friend who just packages the battery up very well, prints a label from FedEx.com and drops the labeled package at a FedEx drop location. Gets sent every...

Exactly. Jumping is all timing and for most of us, we're jumping small jumps and ironically, those take more skill regarding timing. Big jumps require more courage, not as much skill because your suspension is largely more settled on bigger jumps. (not talking about steep BMX or dirt jumper...

Smart move on the park trip. It was the kind of steep where even with pedal assist, you were considering a hike a bike. LoL. I do feel like peddling that bike with the motor off is more of a mental thing. After you do it for a bit, it just seems normal. In Peru, after the first part of...

I was wondering because I felt with that shock I would have to go up in spring weight quite a bit. When I got the bike I went up from 400 to 450 without ever riding it. With the bottom outs I was experiencing, I felt like I would need a 500 or 550 spring since I ride at about 200 pounds. Just...

what do you weigh, if you don't mind?

yeah, that does suck. The only slight up side is the bike does pedal without power. If you can't get it sorted, maybe take it back from the LBS and plan on more Rock Creek since there are shuttles there. Not really a week's worth of riding there, but with the shuttles at least you get to...

every now and then I get flashing red lights. Almost always after I let the bike turn itself off and then turn it back on to resume the ride. Pulling the battery for a second or two has always done the trick. Only once or twice have I seen red flashing after inserting the battery. And...

Geez, don't shoot the messenger. Go yell at the other people who are the ones who regard that shock as the worst coil on the market. I don't use a DHX or a DHX2. I'm perfectly happy with my choice of shock.

Not really. I use squirt wax lube and despite a boat load of wax build up on the chain, cassette and jockey wheels, no skipping. However, I did experience some inconsistent shifting a while back and then finally it was becoming difficult to pedal. that's when I figured out the cassette had...

I see. Thinking of swapping the DHX2 out for something else? I have a Push 11.6 on the Relay and EXT E-Storia on the TR11. Both are fantastic by my usage. Cane Creek TiGon would be my next choice. The DHX that came on the PNW relay has been regarded as the worst coil shock on the market...

This theory was tested with my TR11 DH bike. I took the air shock off of that and put a coil on it. I'm very consistent and confident on that bike as well when it comes to jumps.

No. Not Yet. This is why I'm not a pro YouTuber haha . But I did just whack one or more ligaments in my knee so I'll have some down time.

You put the DHx2 on there? Or did they change the spec from the DHX?

Also, I've been using copper anti-seize instead of grease. Getting a lot more longevity out of the service. Last time I did it was in Jan of this year. No creaking yet. Pop them out, clean them up and then coat with the copper anti-seize before reinstalling. According to the manual...

Yes, those sleeves is what's causing the creak. It can be tricky. I thread the bolt into the sleeve, use a small paint can or something solid as a leverage surface. Then I use a small pry bar to pull them out by the bolt head. I actually use an interior door panel remove tool as the pry bar...
