New owner of a Trance x advanced e+2

[Beesting]

Got about 150 miles on the bike, really liking it. Anyone know the torque specs on the motor mounts? Most of the other bolts are stamped with the recommended torque setting.

Seems odd that something as critical as motor mounts doesn’t have suggested torque settings on ? Nice bike is it a 2022 model I have the 2021 version and thought EX2 were all blue & black ? There’s a good chance the the motor mounts are torqued and loctited up on assembly to stop them working loose .

The two motor mounts and the lower shock mount don't seem to have it stamped on the bolt head. Not a big deal just was going thru and retorqueing everything because I found the lower shock mount loose.

The lower shock mount does have a torque setting its on the allen hex side not on the 2 flats for a spanner side . From memory its 15nm but you have to hold the slotted side with a spanner whilst you turn the allen key with your torque wrench . I thought mine was loose till i realised you need a spanner on the back whilst torquing it up

hi, Do you have a motor noise or is it just routine checks ??

Nice ride

 

[Beesting]

No nothing wrong, just noticed the shock was loose and figured I would check the motor mounts while I was down there.

I came off a cannondale trail 5, the Trance is alot longer/bigger. I think 50" wheelbase so it might just be the angle of the pic. Great bike so far.

Are you finding the bike as a whole longer? I've ordered mine in a small but others I speak to say medium is better. Compared to my last dually (26" !) this thing is much longer in rear as well as reach it seems. I guess a 50mm stem swap vs 40mm and seat back 1.5cm results in the same reach as the medium anyway

I’ve got it in a medium, I’m 5’11 and it fits good. Dropped down from a large in the 2021 alloy version which I found a bit of a stretch

Good to know. Yes the sizes seem quite a long reach at every size. Thanks for the feedback!

 

[Beesting]

I've gotten used to the size and weight, I rode my old bike and it feels like a little toy now.

Yeah the service manual has been posted here, check that. Few people will have the reverse torque wrench to sort the cranks, so just take it in for first service where you got it.

Spec for motor mounts on the 2022 85nm motor is 22 n-m on all 4 bolts.
