been looking at the Saris MTR 2 on line. it's not obviously available in the UK, but maybe a dealer could get one. It's only rated to 60lb for 2 bikes. That's only a bit more than the weight of my one Ebike. It's defintely no light-weight and is pretty expensive too. As a few people have said...
wow. that MTR looks the business. Might take a further look into that option. Wonder how heavy it is?
I have a Thule 3 bike tow ball hitch. I don't like the clamping. I also struggle with the weight when installing on my own. Therefore, I now only use it when there is more than one bike and...
i'm always interested in trying things out. It's also true that it is easier to play with pressure than it is with tokens.
The fork came with 2 tokens. My issue was that it felt and bit rough on small bumps and then tended to dive a bit too much under hard braking on the steep descents.
What I...
I am 95 Kg in underpants. I think the fork is running at 50psi at the moment. not sure of the volume of the spacers, but they are 3 x standard rockshox tokens.
The Zebb on the E160S is the basic model with few adjustments, but is still the best fork I have owned. Not saying there aren't better...
I am running 3 tokens in the Zebb. that has enabled me to drop the fork pressure 10psi. I'm now getting a more progressive feel to the shock - more supple initially and then ramping up as I get down to the end of the travel. I had my doubts before I tried it, but the improvement was obvious as...
yes. I feel it on the shallow, fast descents. On steep descents I'm often on the brakes in any case - I'm usually happy for some drag then. On shallow stuff there is nothing holding you back but the drag, which is mostly the tyres.
On the travel _ I have E 160S. I added a spacer to both fork...
I would recommend it. Mine is quite small and only comfortably fits the chain and smaller sprockets from the cassette. Sprockets larger than 32T have to be done a few times, turning a little each time.
I bought a gallon of carburetor cleaner at the same time and dilute it 1/10 and then filter...
I use my MOABS 1 see photo so it is easy to pedal forwards for chain post ride chain clean. My back is so knackered I can't do the bending over thing.
then every month I take the chain off and stick it in a cheap ultrasonic cleaner.
I admit it is a Rolls Royce solution, but the ultrasonic...
Ah yes I see. Chinese sellers are advertising them, but when I tried to put one in the shopping cart they wouldn't sell to the UK.
Bet there'll be folk going the other direction ie upgrading their OEM parts that might sell new as second hand on EBay etc...
would yo be tempted by the 1210 cassette? As I general rule I find the cheaper the drive train - the longer it lasts. few grams heavier of course, but that's what the motor is for. You've nailed the other guarantee of longevity ie saying you'll replace something when it fails - now the shifter...
I have the impression from the photo that the piggyback IFP chamber is slightly rotated. Is that correct or just an optical illusion?
I am looking at RS Super Deluxe for my E160, but the in the vertical plane it would rule out a water bottle, so I am wondering if a slight rotation of the...
I think the cheapest improvement is to add a third volume reducer (this is what I did) or perhaps even a knar dog spacer. From what others are saying, I expect the meg neg is a further improvement, but obviously will cost a bit more.
I agree that the Zebb is a great fork. it is a basic version...
I found it 'wallowy' (tech term?!) for an air shock. When I compare to my son's super deluxe select+, there seems less support to pop against in the mid travel. Admittedly my son's bike is a carbon Evil, so hardly a straight comparison.
so far I just added a third token to the standard shock and adjusted the pressure, which did improve things. I agree that this is the weak point of the spec and will be very interested to hear how you get on.
BTW I also added a token to the Zebb fork and dropped the pressure, which was a big...
