I allways tought that in an emtb and on an ebike in gerenal a lot of energy is waisted in termal energy while braking downhill. Could the new Pinion motor be a first step for a future when our batteries could be recarged while going downhill, in a similat way as electric cars do? I understad...
Anyone can post a picture or just explain where the Oneup needs exactly to be shaved to fit fully in the Strive head tube?
Also the bottom plastic plug does not fit. I guess one can live without.
I’m going from a Reign E+ 22 L to the Strive M so the motor was already a Yamaha PW-X3. Bosch is a little quieter going up hill but not something that makes really a difference. I’ve got the Strive:ON already and tested for a day only. So far so good. More reactive then the Giant. I feel the...
Frame protection wrap: matte or gloss? It seems that RideWrap is selling online a wrap tailored to the Spectral:ON at the price of 135 euro that it’s not cheap by any means.
Unfortunately I think you should try it by yourself. For what it’s worth I’m 184 and 87 inseam and I’ve got an M this time. I’m coming from a Giant Reign E+ size L and I’m happy about the new size, I really think it’s comparable.
My review after 16 month of the Reign E+0.
On my first day on the new bike I had issues hitting cranks too often on the ground. After adjusting the flip chips and setting correctly the ammo (sag and rebound) I never have had issues again. The Reign is an Enduro beast and it cannot be compared to...
I used the same to validate my choice for the M. I'm using a Giant Reign that in L size has a reach of 475mm, exactly the same the Strive:ON has in M size.
I do really love the X0 AXS overall but I still have an unresolve issue which is making me crazy. The derailleur changes smoothly and there're no issues even switching under effort.
The only issue I have is that while in cog #9, 10, and less in cog #11 while pedaling under effort I hear a...
Great step to step guide. Unfortunately I fount it too late and I had already mounted AXS XO on my Reign E+0. I don't know if the center nut (the center spider) is the same in the E+0 but I was able to install the SRAM X0 chainring without removing the center nut. It was not easy, I have to say...
