i have a clicking/creak coming from my headset/fork area so I've been trying to find a SHIS code for the headset to replace it with a third party one but after talking to Merida directly it seems like their headset is pretty unique with the measurements. Both Chris King and Works Components are unable to help me with their headsets. Looks like the noise could be caused by the Crown steerer unit according to Merida anyway. Will have to investigate further....

Jesus, another industry standard!
A friend of mine also bought the 8000 model and the noise was horrible! After opening it up we discovered there was no assembly greese in there. Now it’s fine. If you find out anything about the potential for an angleset please let me know. Cheers

So your wheels are 27.5? I am concerned about the bb clearance to the ground, already very low. Have you noticed anything?

The new bike looks so good !! But the price of the last 2019 units is hard to beat, and I have no plug where I store the bike. Also I can take the extra battery or not, depending on the ride. What I really miss is a bottle cage, as water consumption is so low compared to what I need with the conventional bike.
There shouldn't be much difference between 2.5 and 2.8 plus? I also have 2.5 Assegai on front and 2.6 Martello rear (which I assume are "regular" 27.5 tires) and think there's enough clearance.

I'm amazed at the number of folks who have ground clearance issues. I clip a pedal when I'm stupid and don't read the terrain well. I'm not a jumper but I ride the rough stuff hard enough but never really notice any clearance problems.

I come from a 26" with a Hammerschmidt 22t ring. I am getting used, but you bet the clearance of cranks and bb is different !!

New to this . Yet to have a ride but definitely not overly keen for the balloon tyres. I've test fitted a set of 29 wheels and seems to clear everything fine ( 2.3 wide blk diamond ) . Banged myself up at mx over the weekend so hopefully the body is ready for a maiden later this week .
Yes, wheelsize is still 27,5. But the shorter cranks are more important. When pedaling they are the lowest point and I try to avoid crashing my bb on obstacles that are too high to just roll over. On the other side bb height isn’t a problem even at high steps up and down. The shorter cranks (160mm) reduced ground contact enormously. For me it’s a „must have“ !

Hello from Rotorua NZ, I've had my Merida eone sixty for about 3-4 months and made a few mods.

- Yari fork with 170mm v3 air spring

How do you find it with the coil?

I was pretty happy with an 50km ex demo 2020 500se. Price point that got me into an ebike. Picked up some cheap mods but haven't been able to get out for another ride ( moto-x injury couple weeks ago )
I fitted a fox float x2. Lyrik rtc3 . 29" wheels front and back . Designed and printed another chain guide with tighter spacing. Xt brakes levers. Xfusion 150mm dropper. Black diamond heavy duty rear tyre. St unlocker mods .
Total weight 21.8kg . Can drop a tad more as I've got a tube in front .

no this is actually the 600 not a clue what the difference is! lol
Pretty sure the stock bars are 20mm rise, I cant stand the stock bars on my 9000 they are so harsh. Want to go carbon but cant find a carbon bar in 35mm with internal routing.
Yes the standard are 20mm rise. I've fitted similar bars with 20mm rise but a little more sweep, cut down to 760mm. Very comfy with the increased up/back sweep.
I fitted the carbon bars not long after i got the bike and they were a nice improvement, trail chatter is minimised. What was really noticible, i jumped onto my missus bike which is an e120 with standard alloy bars. The difference was huge, just landing a wheelie or dropping off a gutter in the street was so much heavier on the hands than what I'm used to. Highly recommended.
7km decent the other day had everyone complaining of sore hands at the bottom, i felt great.
What carbon bars did you go with Dan
Joystick analog 35mm, 800 wide, 20mm rise. $154 they were seriously cheap too. Though looks like mtbd is out of stock on that size.

Joystick also make a "binary" model of carbon bar which is 760mm, researching at the time i found the analog bar is softer and more comfortable where the binary is stiffer. so i went with the analog and cut it down to 760mm.
The oneup carbon bars were my next choice, supposed to be very comfortable
Cool I just have to try and find some of those rubber cable giudes for the bars.
If you fit an e7000 switch they come with the switch. The standard cable on the e8000 is very long and wouldn't work too well externally as it doubles back on itself under the grips,

Yep, I have a 30 rise on mine. Can't run the cables through neatly but comfort is much improved. I found the stock bars to be a horrible shape.
Hi there - if you are still looking for the rubber guides go to moruya bicycles online. I got a spare set recently.
I just joined this forum. Here's my e-onesixty 900.
Just fitted Rockshox 2021 Super Deluxe Ultimate MegNeg shock plus Lyric 2021 Debonair C1 spring & Charger 2.1 RC2 damper.
