Strive:ON problems

[Mario Antony]

I

regarding the batteries, I have already the 3rd pair of latches on them because even if you get the version 2, at a certain point they have play, I also have a 3d printed part in this latches that are reinforces the construction... also I´m using cable straps at the bottom latch holder to have a tighter fit of the batteries in general.
The other thing could be that maybe the batteries connector itself is worn out... I would say, its not a warranty thing but I´ll check on this too...
thanks again, will do some more research here but maybe someone who reworked the upper connector with locktide can remember if the connector had someplay in the construction itself

regarding the light, yeah... its getting orange and switches off... i can switch it back on without issues

I bet on the connector coming loose again

Yes the connector has some play (small play!) and it's not firmly connected to the upper bracket.

I would put hands on the bike and start removing the upper bracket and using Strong Threadlock + torque all bolts

no play at all and still on the first bushings, I´m really surprised its like this
I´ve switched RS because i already blew up many X2... sometimes 3-4 services a year, cracks in the housing, so I switched straight to a RS super Deluxe and as RS released the Vivid Coil this was the next step... coil is feeling Incredible good on this bike.
fork is more or less personal preference... I´m running the ZEB without any tokes but with a trutune and this together with the coil is a completely other level
I was already at a bosch service centre because I had one faulty battery which was replaced on warranty but they said more or less its a bit of design thing from Canyon but I will not really agree on this, because it didnt happend the first months

Nice! Funny enough, I'm running my Zeb the exact same way as you! No tokens and TruTune! I also have a TruTune in my Fox 38.

I've not blown up the X2 yet, but I've done a fraction of the miles you've done and I'm not the most aggressive or heavy rider. I like the look of the Vivid though.

I notice you're still running the XT drivetrain. Are you still running the XT brakes also?

Vivid is definitely very very good, X2 is to me very bad, float X in comparison is gold.

I also added recently the TruTune, still hard to figure out if it is awesome or just better than token.

yeah, still on XT drive train and breaks... just moved to bigger and thicker disks in front and rear... breaks are working great for me even if i´m on the heavier side... around 100kg ready to bike
good thing about XT / Shimano is, it´s relativity cheap and durable... I´m already at my 2nd cassette, 5th chain and 4th derailleur (but i broke 2 during biking )
as said, I really love this bike, it take hits well and handles awesome...
not sure if its allowed here but added just a video of the bike that I have made few month back with clips from the year so far (I´ll remove it when its against the rules )

Next time I ride my Stive, I'll stick with Turbo Mode, to ride DH as fast as you ehehehe

Nice vid! Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Agreed, the man doesn't hang about!

hahaha, thanks guys... regarding the turbo mode...
actually my "red" mode is EMTB with everything maxed BECAUSE you have a longer overboost as in turbo (not sure why bosch did this but yeah... they even say EMTB mode have a longer overboost but i was surprised turbo hasnt the same one during my tests... e.g. you will see that at normal speed a pedal kick will follow with at least one more spin from the drive unit... during downhill you will also notice that in compression where you have the normal pedal kickback, the drive unit gives you more pushs)

my purple is auto, this is a good one for uphills

Coming back to my power cuts… Connector screws are still tight and no movement… cables looking okay from what I can see in this side of the connection… only thing I have notice is very visible wear of the connectors… you can also feel it when moving over them… not sure if this can lead to this but my 1 year old battery has more power cuts than my new replaced one… the pins inside the batteries have clearly a difference in space…

old battery, connector is barely visible

new battery, connector is good visible
