I'm currently looking for a decent motor guard for the Focus Sam2 6.9 2021 and found one from AVS which looks great but quite pricey at around £120 by the time I pay postage.
Can anyone recommend another motor guard to fit this bike and where I could find one to please ?
Thanks, I wouldn't have thought the battery was still hot as it was over an hour since I finished the ride .
I'll keep an eye on it incase it happens again
I've been out on my bike today and when I came home I put it to charge. I finished my ride with 3 bars of battery which is half way. The motor is a Bosch performance line cx. Anyway, it was on charge for around 3 hours and the purine display was lit up but not charging.
I then unplugged it from...
Hi,
I'm looking to re-route the cables from this stupid c.i.s stem to going through the holes in the frame which are covered by plastic covers on my Sam2.
I believe there's rubber/plastic surrounds which are from a jam2 ( I'm not 100% which bike ) but there's certainly something out there which...
Hi guys, I'm looking for help on what spring I would require as I've been getting a variety of answers when speaking with different suspension specialists.
My total weight including riding gear is around 107-108kg
Bike weight 26kg
The shock is a Fox Van performance with 170mm travel and a 65mm...
Ive been reading through different posts and come across topics where people have had bolts snapping and leaving the stub in the frame.
A fair few posts were made about them snapping on the shock mounting. Ive yet to ride the bike and need to change the spring from the 500 to the 600 and im...
This is where the confusion lays, because the shop i bought it from first of all said it was definitely the rider weight and gear. Then they spoke to a focus rep who said that it was infact the bike aswell. Not everybody is singing from the same hymn sheet as far as accurate knowledge is...
I'm looking to swap out the standard 50mm stem from the c.i.s design and go with a standard 35mm stem.
However, I'm not sure if I should go with the acros headset cover cap, or use the ports on the top of the downtube.
If I was to use the ports on the downtube then is there replacement...
Thanks for the input on this. When I was referring to an average sized weight rider I was referring to an average weight for my height. Google probably says a different weight for my height but they must be keeping these people in a dark small room somewhere lol.
I find it strange that an average sized person like myself (6'2" and 100kg) is apparently not suitable for a bike that weighs 26kg and built like a brick sh** house lol.
I know I'm a few lb's overweight but not exactly huge. I understand that they have to cover their backs with warranties but at...
If you asked Joe bloggs off the streetvto read the label and then answer the question of... what is the maximum weight for the bike they will tell you 120kg.
They would even think about adding the weight of the bike into the mix so why are people saying you have to take this into account when...
In hindsight, anybody who doesn't know anything about mtb would look at that sticker and think that they can't be over 120kg in weight. Otherwise its a bit like saying your car can only carry 100kg of luggage because you have to take into account the weight of the car. It makes no sense
And the answer wasn't made clear then either. There's contradicting advice given and nothing is clear, even the labelling on the bike from the CE sticker.
The website says bike and rider plus gear and all the sticker on the frame actually says is " max permissible weight ".
So which one is...
Thanks. I did read that somewhere myself aswell. But how reliable is that source is the question.
I mean, its a big burly bike in an XL that would only really suit the larger guys. So it would be a bit weak to only allow someone who's roughly 85-90kg . I cant seem to find a reliable source that...
What is the tsw of a sam2 6.9 290 XL ?
I can't find any info on their website and have no idea if I'm too heavy at 100kg.
I don't even fully understand what it is lol but read something somewhere and now looking into it but can't find the maximum weight for these bikes
Thanks for the reply. When I've gone onto the Focus website it recommends a size Large for my height and they claim that the XL is for people starting from 191cm.
I'm hoping that I'll find it's ok for me. Do you think putting a 35mm stem on this bike will make its handling worse ?
Hi guys.
Yesterday I ordered an XL Sam2 6.9 2021 and think I may have ordered it in error because of the reach being 510mm.
I used to own the 2020 Nukeproof mega in an XL which had a reach of 515mm and I put a shorter stem on (35mm) and 35mm riser bars in a hope to shorten the reach and I was...
