Commencal Meta Power Race Fox!

it goes on the inside of the right seat stay

went for my first ride with the Meta Power Fox today. Really really great bike. The fork works great and the DPX2 is amazing. Probably the weight of the bike and the tyres are what makes it so stable, but I really felt confident going down the hardest trails. I think I'm gonna improve on all my strava downhill segments.

Put my dropper lever in the proper place and moved the mode shifter to the right, actually worked pretty good. The dropper was right under the thumb and the mode shifter was easily pressed. Will work till the E7000 switch is available..

Just bought a couple of tubeless valves to convert to Tubeless. The E13 TRS wheels come mounted with a nice looking tape inside. Anyone can confirm if I can convert the wheels to tubeless as they are or do I need to add any extra tape? Also, what volume of sealant should I add for the 2.5 tyres?

My friend's TRS wheels were taped properly so I guess yours are too. Check if it's 'sticky' tape then it's sure.
In a new 2,5 tire, I would put 100-120ml each.

Thanks Tamas. It's 'sticky' tape indeed, so I'll try the wheels just as they are with stans sealant ?

Am more than happy with my bike and would like to register it in the commençal site. Does anyone know where is the frame serial number? Can't seem to find the bloody thing

Got my E7000 switch on, very pleased with it. smaller than it looks in the pics in a good way. nice and compact. It was just a five min plug n play swap.

 

[Al-Rider]

I also took the plunge and made the upgrade to the E7000 switch and the Wolftooth remote. It's an expensive upgrade, but really improves the bike aesthetically and functionally

 

[dirt huffer]

My e6000 switch and the Wolftooth. Not quite as stealth looking as the e7000 switch, but so much better than stock

This happened to me yesterday. Took battery off and on. Error would not go away. Luckily I had just purchased a tow strap and my Ebuddy towed me back to the trailhead. Been researching and it seems like it might be the battery connections. Out of town biking trip, lucky it was on the last day and we had a backup E to use.

That’s the code mine started with , then I got wo13 when I re started it . I was Constantly cleaning all connections especially the ones on top of the motor , which seemed to work each time , eventually the codes came to stay and I got a new motor from commencal under warranty . Eo10 seems to happen if I confuse the crank sensor , sitting waiting for a while with a foot on the pedal as if to pedal off can make that appear but it doesn’t stay or cut out .

Thanks!

Kernow did Commencal replace your motor or Shimano. Mine is being sent to Shimano to be looked at. Hopefully will be a warranty replacement.

The motor was returned to commencal , who then sent it to shimano France . They gave me the option to use a uk shimano dealer but I preferred to remove the motor and do the work myself .
Be sure to remove the plastic covers from your motor if you send it off as the new motor comes without them

I'm kind of itching to replace the DPX2 with a Fox DHX2, but it's a big investment, especially going for an SLS Ti coil (a must for aesthetic reasons ).

Has anyone done the same? I don't know if I have the DPX2 well dialed but I feel it becomes too harsh when there are lots of small bumps. I've been playing with the rebound and LSC, but can't seem to improve the feeling past a certain point and would love to try a coil.

 

[jsalas2]

My E-thirteen rear hub, bit the dust after 4300 miles. Has anyone replaced there rear hub. Any recommendations for a replacement. Thank you.

Bit late to the party on the comment, but im currently looking at doing the same, im quite a heavy rider and feel the DHX2 will carry me better. Did you decide to go ahead with it?

What did you replace it with? I'm expecting to have to replace mine someday, too.

My Race Fox's front hub started feeling a bit rough at 1200 miles so I had it cleaned and repacked. I did the rear too - it was really dirty in there!

Actually no. I started fretting about which spring to buy and in the end opted to buy a second hand Quark Shockwiz to fine tune the DPX2. The shockwiz works great, but I also found that my DPX2 was in need of servicing. After being serviced by fox and fine tuned with the shockwiz, the DPX2 now works like a charm.

My e-thirteen rear hub has strangely become very silent. It still engages well, but the silence makes me wonder if the pawls are getting stuck because of dirt inside. I must find time to open it up and clean it ?

It's by far the loudest freewheel I've ever owned (15+ MTBs and eMTBs over the years). Maybe dirt has "insulated" the sound? If the pawls were stuck, they wouldn't engage, right?

The ShockWiz alerted you that your DPX2 needed service?

 

[Al-Rider]

No. The shock started making loud squishy noises when compressed. I sent it to a Fox service center and they confirmed that it just needed the yearly service.

What does the shockwiz actually do tho??

 

[Al-Rider]

It connects to your shock or suspension through the air valve and measures all the pressure variations during a ride. You then get a summary of how your ride went in terms of suspension events and it gives you sugestions for tuning your shock or fork:

The lbs was going to rebuild it for $150-200 found a new E-thirteen take off wheel set for $200. Going to learn to rebuild it myself and make it my backup wheel set.
