Doesn't make an difference. The interacting part are the chain, chainring & cassette. Your new chain is shorter than the old one by definition, so the two big variables are the wear on the cassette & the derailleur adjustment going out of true. You haven't said how many chains the bike's gone...

Check your B screw tension before doing anything spendy. Shimnano drive trains are sensitive & a new chain changes the equation.

Three hand jobs is certainly some going.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? Do you like movies about gladiators?

No, it's a comfortable bike if you buy the right size for the rider. I'm pointing out that Jams in any size come with a fixed length chain stay at 450mm & that gives it the characteristics I mentioned above. It has a relatively short wheelbase & that makes it prone to front wheel lift in steep...

Maybe but it won't change the fundamental characteristic of the bike.

None on this generation of Jam2 but on geometry, the Jam has a 450mm chainstay length across all sizes which is relatively short. The effect is to make the bike fairly nimble on the trail but also a little prone to lifting the front wheel on steeper terrain. It's not a fault but a feature. Some...

Ain't no worm holes in Star Wars, just like there's no double valve rims in the bike shops.

That's a decent allegory for this thread. There you are in a galaxy that has light speed travel, laser guns & a moon sized planet destroying weapon but no apparent means of transmitting a relatively modest data file other than sticking it up a robot's flue & sending it off on a perilous journey...

Might stick a spare wheel in the for sale, see who bites. 🎣

You don't specifically need ebike tyres but they won't hurt if you see what I mean. The big win with any MTB tyre is tubeless. This will sort out your puncture problems more than any particular tyre choice. If it were me, I''d take it back to the bike shop & get them to do the conversion, then...

Earthquakes?

I'd suggest having a good old chill, Ari. It's only pushbikes, nothing worth blowing your stack over. Mods, tell me more about this incontinence thing , I thought it was supposed to be us lot who're full of :poop:

Can't believe this thread would get better but it pulled it off somehow.

My accountant says I should imagine I don't have an ebike.

True but the near otb's from the gears skipping were getting tiresome 😭

New chain checker and Now I need a new chain.

Spur of the moment ride last night. This at points wasn't much fun, we could literally see about three foot in front of us, border line disorientating which sounds like an exaggeration but save for following a rut, we would have had no reference points to follow for about half a mile. Weird...

The ones that don't end up in A&E.

I'm running the same shock at 85kg with a Gnar dog & 300 psi(!) and find it easily bottoms out on average trail riding. This leaves me with nowhere useful to go on sag & I've been wondering if it's simply the factory tune aiming at the average rider.
