Transition Repeater Owners Thread

[podiopie]

Hi, now that the Transition Repeaters are being delivered in the UK here’s the owners thread

The bike is so good that nobody has anything to write about

I'am loving mine. I'ts a real beast of a bike.

We’re too busy smiling to post or take pictures, but here’s mine when I had a rare photo-op after botching a sandy corner.

Such good looking e bikes, especially in the green. Had a sentinel so biased maybe!

Hi there,
I have to send my Float X shock for revision after 2 years of riding and as it might take weeks before it comes back, I am thinking of getting a coil shock. Found a Marzocchi Bomber CR for good deal but now when trying to figure out what could be the right coil, various spring calculators give stuff from 350 to 450 lbs. Knowing I am 80 kg + 5-7 kg for ebike, 160mm of rear travel and 65mm shock stroke with expected 28-33% SAG, is there anyone over here that can suggest what would
it be better to start with ? 450 or 400 or even 425 ? 350 being definitely off the target ?
Thanks,
Seb

I'm the same weight as you and my bike store said 450. I purchased a Repeater PT yesterday and the only things I'm doing to it are swapping out the brakes and shock for a coil. I usually swap out a lot more than that, but it's a very well specced bike right out of the box.

That was the bike I wanted, but they didn't have my size. Luckily got offered a great deal on the PT GX instead.

Got a snowy test ride yesterday with a 450 SAR coil on a DHX shock (28% sag). Even though I did not ride a full speed and were not able to hit some drops due to snow and ice, it worked out pretty well. Traction is amazing for sure but could not test if it might bottom out or not. Look forward for better weather conditions to ride my fav trails.

How do folks find the auto-shift and coast-shift? These will be new to me, but looking forward to trying them out. Winter here, and gloves are thicker. Not having to shift will be a bonus.

I just checked out the price for a new SRAM XS 1275 T-Type (10-52t) cassette. Ouch. That was not a nice bonus. I have the older GX AXS on my existing bikes, but the newer "T-Type" is also new to me.

Bike is being ride-wrapped at the moment, and I'm waiting for a different handlebar and brakes to come in. Should be ready to pick up next week.
