I have this regulary on my analog bike. It just looses all the sensors I have (Speed, cadence and HR). Some times it happens on the same place. Have no idea why. Sometimes it just happens randomly.Has anybody by any chance had an issue where their Garmin (830 in my case) randomly re-detects the bike sensors?
Do Schwalbe make a BB in 2.5? Can't see one on their website.Right then, new bike.........
Buying the Base Alloy 5 in Grey.
Stripping all parts off it, apart from the cranks, but actually, if anyone has a link to the hope cranks that fit the bike, then I'll likely upgrade those as well.
Will be fitting (mostly transferring from the Levo)

I actually think the Zeb is overkill for a trail bike, so considering options for a Lyrik Ultimate.
Sorry, 2.4Do Schwalbe make a BB in 2.5? Can't see one on their website.

I had the Kryptotal 2.4 on my rear and loved it. 9.8 XT traction and side wall stability are awesome.I fitted a 2.6 Kryptotal on the rear (which I struggled to fit on the rim) but there was very little wiggle room between it & the frame so removed it. Back with stock Bonty at moment, may try 2.4 Kryptotal. Does any manufacturer other than Bonty make a decent 2.5 tire/tyre?
Your shop is correct, the Zeb isn't approved due to the AC length being 576mm, which is only 3mm over our max (160mm or 573mm axle-to-crown).
Since this bike has no ISCG mounts, you won't see any bash guards unless they are newly developed. Currently, only e*Thirteen makes a chain guard (part number W5276728) which was made by our request for this bike.
Theyve got to draw the line somewhere - so they drew it at 573mm which is about the length of any of the 160mm travel 35 & 36mm stanchioned forks from fox and rockshox.I'm not sure why an extra 3mm would put the frame out of warranty? with a sag of approx 40mm, we are always riding lower than the actual AC length?
I tried gloss. I thought it looked like shit. Added sheen to a matte colored bike. To me, the matte finish is one of the appeals of the Dnister Black.Dnister Black frame colour needs gloss or matt frame wrap?

yep, thats what I did.Slight change of plan. Buying the 9.5 and replacing all the parts with what I have. Weight difference for frame looks about 1.5Kg, so thought fuck it, why not…..
Good call. I did the same as has many others. My bike shop purchased everyone of the take-off parts from me for about $1,650. That brought the price of the 9.5 down to under $5K after the credit for the take-off parts. Basically I purchased the frame and motor for about $5K.Slight change of plan.

Couldn’t stand the OEM SE5 Team Issue tires on my ’23 9.8 XT. Went with Maxxis Assegai 2.5 WT 3C maxx terra EXO+ @ 21 psi in front and Maxxis Aggressor 2.5 WT DD @ 22psi in back. Both on OEM Line Elite 30 rims. Works great for my deep woods cross country XC trails.Maxxis Recons front and rear in 2.6, tubeless at 23 PSI are working way better for me than I thought they would. And, I’m not very easy on them. They are also very light.
Mine has been reliable and extremely quite. Couldn’t stand the battery rattle on my Rail. Sold it within months. My Fuel is perfect for the local XC woods and mild jump tracks. Other than tires, it's completely stock. Willing to upgrade, but not convinced other parts will provide noticeable "return on investment".Is the EXe a quiet bike? I’m assuming there are no gremlins to deal with like a loose battery are any other such issues?
I also have the 9.8XT and it is a great package indeed. I changed out the grips for Ergo grips and switched the rear tire to a continental Kryptotal 2.4 in the back. I blew out the SE5 tire a couple times and was looking for something with a stronger sidewall. Really liked the Kryptotal.Mine has been reliable and extremely quite.
