Is there a weight limit? Do you think it can hold an ebikeA Steadyrack MTB, a real space saver and no more 'Your bike's in the way' from SHMBO

Hey Trickz, bike looks awesome. How have you found the Michelin on the rear? What handlebars/ model/ spec are you running? I am am tall ride and they looks comfortable. Also what is the rear mudguard?View attachment 23613 View attachment 23612 rear e-wild fitted,amazed at the thickness,quality of these tyres,tight fitment also and it seated with ease,makes a DD assegai feel like a exo tyre in comparison?? View attachment 23614
£35 at the moment for a quality tyre like this!
more experimenting with different chain devices for the E8000. On first inspection this Funn one seems the best yet, much better quality than the E.13 or stock Shimano, and nice and minimal.

Should just mount to two of the three chain guide mount holes. If you already have the factory guide you'll need the special tool to remove the spider to dismount it. If not, then you should be able to attach it to any e7000/e8000 without removing anything.Will this fit any e8000 or do you need specific mounting holes etc
Make sure you have your valves at 9 or 3 o'clock (ie, sideways) when you pressure check. I got tubeless fluid in my pressure tester the first time I used it and it never worked again.Equipment to mount my DH22 .....
Good saddles those, I have one on a bike that must be over 30 years old and still going strong.Forgive me because I am old and knackered.
On my last hardtail bike I had a Cane Creek Thudbuster seat post that was really good at ironing out bumps. However, my new bike has a drop seat so the Thudbuster could not be transferred.
After a lot of research, I splashed out on a Brooks sprung saddle and have done several runs now. It might look old fashioned but VERY impressed; it really makes a difference.

Mine was in a sale so much cheaper!
I'm out of luck then but thanks for the info. I have no mounting holes. Truly was an oversight on norco behalf. I noticed they've got it right with the latest iteration.Fits any e8000 but may not fit every bike if the frame oversails the side of the motor too much. To get the old one off as @Zimmerframe says you need to remove the spider - this is the e13 one fitted. Both the E13 and the Funn one can be fitted and removed without taking off the chainring/spider as they are only 2 vs 3 bolts, provided you spider clears the bolts. With the E13 you have to space it to the chain using washers behind the mount, whereas on the Funn one you get spacers for the head itself which is much better design. Also the Funn mount is alloy, the stock Shimano and E13 Plastic. I will do a write up once I have installed the Funn.

Yes I recall the first gen not having a chain guide, but I also recall someone on the forum doing a workaround - I think its in the main Norco threadI'm out of luck then but thanks for the info.

cheers buddy ? I found the ewild very good,it hasn’t got the straight line grip as the assagai but cornering is on par but rolls soo much better,regards cockpit I’ve changed around a bit,I tried a 35 reach stem but ended up going back to the 40mm,I’ve also now got the v2 Nukeproof 800mm carbon bars with 38mm rise,the v2 versions are like rolled forward more in the design So still giving you the 9 degree back sweep but with 10mm more reach than the v1‘s which I’ve stuck on the Hardtail,since back injury I struggle with neck to get good forward vision so a high cockpit helps?The rear mudguard is just a standard front mudhugger with just a few holes drilled and a scoop out the side for the chain,the front is now a mudhugger shorty?
