Talk about bling by the look of Robs eyes, oooh sparkly baubles ? Why ?

 

[MPJ]

A before and after with winter accessories now fitted.
Upgrades/changes are;
Renthal bars
Selle SMP saddle
Ergon grips
E-Wild tyres (2.8R / 2.6F) tubeless + Muc-Off valves
Crud XL front fender
Crud XL rear
Haikelite Q30 front light - orange peel reflector for flood
Exposure stem fittings for light
Quad Lock for mobile phone
Pedals for flat shoes

I think that's more than enough money spent for my sort of riding

@Rob Rides EMTB so much bling!

 

[Zimmerframe]

Only just saw this .. E-ST900 with a trust ! You've been outdone @Rob Rides EMTB

Decathlon Rockrider E-ST900

...But, the delimiter hack is a must. You can feel the motor stopping you, almost pushing back on you, ... I first got the Peartune from Ebay ebiketuning.com, don't buy this, it has cheap "breadboard style" connectors. They have stiff cables, don't last in place, and have no water-tightning at...

[RustyMTB]

Put this in POTD earlier but it is the most recent image of it, so to date not too much but:

Rockshox Yari
Brendog Deathgrips
E Wilds but temporarily on a Raceface Aeffect 27.5 front wheel with a skinny & not partcularly inspiring Scwalbe Tough Tom while I hunt down a suitable 29 that fits the fork
400ish headset spacers until I get round to chopping the steerer a bit.

How are the forks performing is it worth converting from the OE 35's?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Before I put stuff in the for sale section

- Marzocchi Bomber Coil with Cane Creek VALT progressive spring: £250 +postage (I have 2 springs depending on rider weight, let me know weight and I will give you the correct spring!)

 

[Doomanic]

What weights and length are the springs?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

What weights and length are the springs?

400-488 and 450-5xx (can’t remember will look) and 65mm

Shock is Trunnion, 230x65

 

[RustyMTB]

An improvement I think. I say I think as I've only had one ride with them & took my shock pump with me to muck about with the air pressure, so having started out at something like 100psi & ending up with somewhere around 75-80 it's fair to say there's some setting up still to go & remember I'm running them on a crap wheel & tyre for now.

What I would say is the Yari is a better quaity fork than the 35 full stop imo. The immediate thing you notice is an improvement in small bump feel, general suppleness & much better rebound adjustment. I guess these things are horses for courses but I didn't rate the 35 at all & I'm pleased to be shot of it.

 

[Zimmerframe]

I think the 450 is 450-550 normally ..

Just noticed my 35 forks are wearing on right stanchion first signs of black fading to silver just above dust seal , rockshox are normally bullet proof not impressed with only 6 months of use and they have been fully serviced..

 

[RustyMTB]

Well, if you need a new pair, I know a garage very, very near here where's there's a set with about 100 miles on them. ?

 

[Lordy71]

I have a friend who has a new set in his garage in a box unused, I think there will be a lot of 35's available on eBay when everybody starts upgrading.?

I would definitely not remove the motor guard, if riding anywhere rocky, with low ground clearance on stilus you would be wide open to impact damage. What is the benefit of removing bash guard? 400g in weight saving, you could add that weight to bike just greeting it dirty. By the way my Lyrics are a great improvement over stock fork, can not speak about the ZEB i could not afford them.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I removed the bash guard. plenty of Bosch bikes dont even have them. And I spoke with a Bosch technician who said that its something that isnt essential - Bosch motor is pretty well protected in that area out of the factory.

400g is a pretty instant easy saving of weight.

 

[Davey]

Amazing forks my zebra just love clean motor without bash guard❤

hi rob do you know which front hope chain ring fits and what eagle chain to replace, 116 or 126 Link eagle nx

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Hope 34t and probably the 36t will fit. If you are SRAM I’d get the 126 link as the chain stay is long - you’ll just need to size it correctly but 126 links will mean you don’t start with a chain that’s too short.

 

[Davey]

Cheers thanks for quick reply, mullet setup gets smoother the faster I go with new zeb fork smashing it??
