I can't imagine that it's wear related at that low a distance. Run Microshift Advent and KMC 10 speed chains on all my bikes (haven't tried X), 1500 km on my Decoy and I use the smaller cogs most often as well. No detectable chain wear over 12 inches, just checked it again last night. My 12...

"Handlebar Palsy" from too much weight on your hands injuring your ulnar nerve. Try raising your bars, and consider bars with more back sweep as the angle helps a lot as well. https://www.verywellhealth.com/ulnar-nerve-conditions-overview-4586755 Cheers.

Awesome information, thanks gentlemen! Cheers

Can't say I fully disagree with my doctor's assessment after doing some research, but it sure would be nice to not be in pain. Enjoy the bionic hip! Like Steve Austin! (Maybe you're too young to remember him:LOL:). Cheers

That's my impression as well, I think the "Ride Synergy" software missed the mark. (In normal EP8 mode it's great, even with the torque turned down to 63 nm.) Last night found the derailleur hanger locating ring couldn't be installed, while greasing the linkage bearings (figured it was a good...

Hope the surgery and recovery go well! Keep us posted on how it works out, please. I need one too, but my doctor says I'm too young (57). Thank god for emtb's! :D Cheers

Hi Sapientiea, how did you sort out the firmware situation? Cheers.

That is bullshit. How does Rocky Mountain justify not paying for labour on a warranty item? Curious as I was considering buying one from a dealer further afield that has stock. Cheers.

To the folks that have gone through the ordering and build process, can you make any recommendations/is there something that you would do differently? Cheers.

Nice work Lanton! Will the drive work with a battery with a generic BMS? Cheers.

Hi BRW, I'm similar age and height as yourself, but have been riding for quite a while, and currently do about 500 km a month. Bike comfort, steering precision, and downhill composure are important factors, to me, when determining bike cockpit setup. I find my perfect reach to fall between...

Hi Mike, any verdict on the cable ports yet? Cheers.

It's a sad state of affairs. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

That's awesome, favourite tire is 27.5 x 3 High Roller, (just got the last four in existence :D). Next up 29 x 2.8 WTB. Cheers.

Sweet spot indeed! Very tidy build TC! Just saw this thread, forgive if this has been discussed previously. I prefer B plus wheels as well, and from the geometry figures on this frame the BB drop is only 20mm which would be helpful to avoid pedal strikes with them. Any thoughts? Cheers.

Spot on Texano, took 5 minutes. Really well thought out app.! Also nice to be able to see the battery state of charge in percentage terms instead of the simplistic five bars Shimano uses, especially as they don't correspond to 20% each. I wouldn't necessarily use the app. on the trail for...

Appreciate the advice Tony! Absolutely right about the advancing age and arthritis! My GP just scowled when he looked at the x ray of my hip, "worst OA I've ever seen". My Decoy made riding a blast again. Cheers.

Official reply from Shimano Canada to request from the shop mechanic to allow reprogramming of EP8-RS (no surprise): Hello, Unfortunately we cannot change an RS motor to the non RS version. He’d have to purchase a new Drive Unit. Louis, lead intern in charge of request denial. (Okay, I made...

Well, i do almost everything else wrong, but put an ungodly amount of time and effort into bike setup. Nonsensically fussy about making bikes work well for me, (most people would hate them). Just finished revalving the shock on my YT (again :)). The EP8 on it is super fun and the goal picture...

It's already maxed out on profile 2, the assist is still weak off the bottom, and I weigh 130 lb. Perhaps bigger, stronger riders don't notice the same issue. Maybe it's so long riding single speeds, but honestly I'd rather ride my analog bike. Was thinking about the risk of Shimano not...
