If you have the range extender battery and are using the trek/bontrager bottle cage that comes with the bike to hold it, then it could be that, it knocks when hitting bigger bumps fast.
I was expecting this to be the case. Fidlock, sadly, won't be a fix. My fidlock bottle rattles too. They start pretty quiet but as they wear due to shaking while riding they loosen up.
Yep I think it's pretty reliable on the whole, I'd put it on par with the Bosch cx gen 4 motors in term of reliability
yep I have. most states/countries/avaiation authorities have a limit of 160wh for a single battery, so you cant fly with the main battery, so you need to remove that and leave it at home, or ship it separately to your destination.
the fidlock battery holder arrived today, its got an extra way of holding the battery to the bike in addition to how a regular fidlock bottle holder works. As well as the magnetic twist mechanism of the standard fidlock mount, it has a tab that you pull/push to release or cinch down the battery , so when thats done it holds the battery pretty tight to the frame.
I had a knocking sound coming from the cable routing on the left side of the bike. Removing the small plastic cable guide and setting the cables back into their position solved it. Maybe something else to try. Early on I also had a knocking sound that was caused by the headset not being tight and lubed correctly.
Weight is listed on the website. You can just compare two bikes with similar build. It’s probably around 2lbs difference For comparable build.
It’s the quietest bike I have ridden. That doesn’t mean it’s silent. At higher cadence, one can definitely hear the motor but at lower support it’s not very noticable. cables are pretty silent. battery is inside the frame and well guided. No noise from there at all.
Looks like it comes with the lock ring. My dealer gave me one when I asked about it.

Some people complain of creaking from the pivots -cured by greasing them, others complain of creaking coming from the motor,this is usually caused by one of the following
My 9.5 came with the lowest spec shock, rockshox deluxe select+, it's actually pretty decent. I did end up upgrading it to a super deluxe ultimate,but to be honest upgrading it wasn't worth it, the standard shock is actually pretty good.
That's my set-up and I find it more playful than full 29er set-up without sacrificing stability. Some people complain about how low the BB is, but my analogue had a low BB, so I'm used to it (the 160 fork upgrade helps). As with everything, it's all down to personal preference. If you have a spare 27.5 rear wheel (or can borrow one), maybe give it a try before committing (though recommend going 160 up front regardless!)
Ah right, I thought it would be the same shock as the 9.5. In which case ,I dunno, give it a try and see. The carbon models come stock with the rockshox deluxe/super deluxe range,but people have fitted fox X2 etc.
Yep, that's tune of the select+ shock I took off my 9.5 exe
The exe is already 40lbs, I don’t imagine I can keep it under the 50lb check in limit using a bike bag though
That's a pretty low limit, and I'd agree you will struggle to get under that.
