Morning folks just a quick one from a Noobie here.
I was down at our local store there in Belfast and had a chat with one of the bike staff there about when or if they're gonna get these in again.
Now not sure if this is gospel or not but he said it would probably Christmas if we're lucky.
Looks like those of us still holding out may have to look a different route :-(

As a rough guide and perhaps a starting point before your fine adjustment of front and rear shocks.
Using your weight in kgs pump the front fork to that figure in psi and then using your weight in pounds pump the rear shock the that figure in psi.
That should give you a good starting point before adjusting for sag. With regards rebound, start with a middle setting and see how you go on.

Thanks a lot everyone for the adjustment suspension tips. 
There’s not a heck of a lot you can adjust on the 35. Just get the sag right, somewhere between 20-30% depending how supple you like it. The nice thing about most RockShox is they aren’t infinitely adjustable, set and go and they just work. FOX on the other hand with the Grip2, well I’m still tinkering ?

Good Plan ! Looking at me or listening to me would be far more painful than anything in your mouth !

So glad I just read your post Rob as my 625wh battery arrives tomorrow and I wouldn't have had a clue about having to flip the battery holder!

A quick message to say it might be worth checking the torque on your Stilus crank-arm bolts. My left-hand one fell out 10 miles into a ride on the Quantock hills on Sunday and I had to walk back to the car without a crank arm fitted. I took a more direct route back and rolled down the hills, but it still wasn't fun. I've bought a couple of bolts now and will keep one on me as a spare, but it's worth 30 seconds of your time to check the bolts before your next ride to save a grumpy trudge back to the car/home

Yes we had the same issue on a ride. Do check them before riding out of the box, as well as all other bolts.
It's an 8mm Bolt. Same as pedals.

Hi Rob, if you ever change your shock could you let me know how the alignment is? I fitted a new Fox shock today and the fixings don’t totally line up I have to pull the trunnion end over one side by around 1.5 -2mm to get it to fit in the Horst link..not ideal obviously...just wondered if I’m the unlucky one with badly aligned mounts.
Thank you,
Del

A 2019 Fox dpx2 EVOL air.. feels great I just wish I didn’t have the nagging worry of the mis-alignment ?
Assuming size was 205 x 65?

Yeah, exactly the same so that was a bit of luck I wouldn’t have changed the length etc as I would assume that’s bad for the geometry but I maybe wrong.

Just so you know, the way I found out my figment was out was to leave the eyelet bolt tight but remove the trunnion fixing bolts, swing the shock out obviously forwards and see if it sits in the middle of the link ?

Been reading about the 4 "driving" modes, but my Stilus doesn`t come with EMTB mode.
The one between "Trail" and "Turbo", is the "Sport" mode.
Same as yours?
Or does the "EMTB" mode just appears after the new update and replace the "Sport" mode?
Thanks.

There are two software fits for this motor.
It's fitted to both Road/Commuter bikes and Mountain Bikes.
The Sport mode is for road bikes, i.e. it just delivers a set output regardless of torque through the pedals. eMTB matches your torque to the power output up to Turbo so if your cruising, you'll just get a cruise output (Eco). Powering up a hill or out of a corner, it will give you up to Turbo.
The eMTB mode is part of the new update and has been improved. Your bike has been loaded with the road software incorrectly. Not the absolute end of the world, but you may use more battery if you leave it there and will have to adjust the power mode depending on terrain. eMTB takes care of this for you, you barely have to change modes. You won't have 85nm in Sport mode. Some people don't come out of Eco or Tour so I wouldn't panic too much, but eMTB is the best mode of the motor and is very natural. It's like having an automatic transmission on your car if you use your gears correctly.
I would take it into your nearest Bosch dealer and have them change this for you, or Decathalon. You may be charged for it at a Bosch Service Centre though so be prepared for that. Usually, it's around £20-30. Call before you go though obviously.
Hope this helps..

I got round to checking my crank bolts last night & sure enough, both were loose. The non drive side not even finger tight. Seems to be a common thing with these from the factory.
Saved a long walk home then!!

625wh battery is in! Piece of cake to fit. Just need to move the lower bracket onto it's longer setting and it goes straight in. Can't wait to get out and enjoy all that extra range

Thanks a lot for the tip.
And you can change it from "Sport" to "eMTB", or needs to be an authorized dealer?
