Hey guys, thanks for sharing these documents.
I’ve just received my meta sx race in feb and have had a few rides with it this past few weeks. It is absolutely brilliant on the ascents and man, the downs are so much fun!!! So stable, so plush such a plougher! Haha!
Anyways, back to the documents, early in the TSB 156 document, it mentions to remove the inner seal as it takes up a 1mm space in between crank’s inner face and the spindle.
That’s rather interesting! Has anyone done so to their assembly?
On a side note, as a precaution, I just ordered a 165mm Shimano ep8 crank set from bike-discount.de and i believe they have the whole range (160mm - 175mm). Coming from a 170mm, I’m still not used to the shorter crank arm length.

Cranks for EP8 motor
Hi all, I recently had my E*13 crank arm fail on me and it needs to be replaced. My first thought was to get a Shimano one, but my local bike shop said they were on back order until late August. I have since reached out to E*13 and Commencal to see if they can be of any help, but not getting...www.emtbforums.com
