    Using an Orbea Extender on any Shimano Bike

    Yo Rob - nope, not my ride. Graham made an extender for my focus which was more straight forward as it used the already in place focus extender cable. I’ve been prodding him to do a harness for my yeti, but to no avail. Seems like he has to have possession of the bike to wire it up and I live...

    Using an Orbea Extender on any Shimano Bike

    Hi Mike - not sure who Trail Watts uses to ship, you can connect with him through FB. I do know that it was expensive. I got a quote from his company to ship a Shimano battery from the EU to the US and it was $250+. Please post the other extender, and how will you connect it to the existing...

    Anyone using a DSD Runt on front fork?

    @Singletrackmind i just installed the Runt on my 160e which I took up to 180mm and added a grip 2 damper. Ridden it about 6 rides so far. I’m 205 kitted out and am running 80/105 psi which is a way lower ratio than they recommend. I was having issues getting full travel and this seems better...

    Using an Orbea Extender on any Shimano Bike

    Hey - see above pic. Evidently he has a number of models worked out which don’t show on his site. He’s a good guy and and I get the feeling his biz is jamming right now. Usually takes a couple of emails to get him to respond. he says he needs an actual example of that model to build the...

    Using an Orbea Extender on any Shimano Bike

    I have a second Focus charger with a rohs plug which was relatively easy to find. However, as you say it's not as easy as connecting wire "a" to wire "b". Graham over at TrialWatts UK does a stellar job and offers an extender that fits the Focus/Specialized/SC. He is adding more models all the...

    Using an Orbea Extender on any Shimano Bike

    Thanks much Coolcmsc I know the motor connectors are universal and had thought they all used ROHS compatible connectors but clearly they are different species. Wonder if it would be possible to clip the connector and wire it up with the individual bikes connector? Anyone have a resource in...

    Using an Orbea Extender on any Shimano Bike

    Hey egroupthink: A buddy sent me a link to the latest Orbea RS Ranger extender https://www.orbea.com/us-en/gear/accessories/cat/rise-battery-range-extender It says that it connects directly to the "standard charging port" Has anyone tried using this on a different Shimano spec'ed bike...

    Looking for a used Focus Charger

    Hi - I am looking for a used Focus charger - specifically, need the cord which plugs into the bike side. It doesn't have to function. Anyone have an old charger they want to make some $$ on?

    Focus jam 2 complete wiring loom

    Yes, the extra battery holds a charge. It was the original OEM and had about 20% less holding capacity out of the box and thus replaced by the dealer. Now I have this battery and desperately want to use it as a range extender!

    Focus jam 2 complete wiring loom

    Hi all - clearly, I've found the experts..... I have an extra internal battery (long story...) and wanted to consider using it as an extender on long rides. Yes, I have the T.E.C. pack, but still, 700ish watts won't keep up on a full day of exploration with my buddies and their 1000W Levo's...

    Hi everyone, want to introduce my self and need some help.

    I love my Jam2 but the main pivot creaks like an old rocking chair when it’s tightened to the proper torque. If I run it slightly loose (for experiment only) it instantly goes away. It all started after the first ride which was an early season snow storm, and I’m hoping it’s not a...

    Shimano E8000 normal sound?

    Just 175 miles on my Jam2 and I’ve noticed the same noise/feel from the start. Figured it was normal, and it’s most noticeable in Boost near the cut off. The real issue for me is that there is a noticeable “thud” when the bike shifts into gears 9-11 and you can visibly see the derailleur and...

    Focus Jam2 - set up nirvana achieved!!!

    It's good advice and I do try to run in ECO as much as possible. Here on the front range of Colorado, I am chasing my buddies with their 2 battery Levo's. I have the tec pack, but again 756W vs. 1000W means I've either got to pedal harder (typical) or find a larger tec pack. Has anyone had...
