Any mods?

A few mods but very minor cause it's perfect the way it is.
- put a carbon Renthal riser bar. I wanted a 40mm riser, and bought carbon to add damping for a carpal tunnel issue I had ( excuses ?... I know)

- swapped for a more comfy seat

- Maxxis DHF up front to replace a sidewall cut on the standard DHR (a mistake.. I liked the DHR better)

- slightly shorter Merida stem

- I tried to get the 900e version but they were out of stock for months... mainly for the plushier front forks, and better brakes... but this 800 is good enough really

Maybe the best Mod, is that I convinced my brother to get one too, so I have a great riding partner, cause you don't see many e-mt s here yet...
