YT Decoy availability pushed back one week to Oct. 9

[Gutch]

I wish the would have left more steerer tube length. I’m still trimming cables. Also, had to do all updates on E-TUBE.

 

[TheBikePilot]

That’s a beautiful bike ??

So are you changing to 32 tooth Renthal chainring immediately?

 

[Gutch]

Yes, already done. Stuck on build awaiting SRAM bleed tool.
NOTE: make sure your Renthal chainring is lined up perfectly before bolt down. The shimano ring is flat around the holes and seats perfectly on the spider, the Renthal is not. We’ll see if it can take the abuse without that “extra” strength of the design.
Also, my limiter screws were not touched on the rear derailleur. It would not go into the smallest cog, until I adjusted it.
Motor and display needs updates.
Dropper cable is WAAY long, but understood for different heights.
The race face dropper lever will mate with Sram matchmaker, but sits a tad high for my liking.

Dumb question.. what’s up with this torque wrench? How do you use it? I have other ratchets that I used to check everything, but this boggled my mind, maybe it was the beer last night?!!
Also, bike ships in low mode, switched to HIGH with a Maxxis DD Aggressor 2.5 on back. Don’t care for the fat tire on the back. Too bouncy like my Levo was and slow. I see Specialized has gone to skinnier rear tires for 2020.
My bike is named Mr.T! More gold than I can afford!!

 

[Camstyn]

It’s not Mr T until you put a KMC gold chain on it

 

[Gutch]

I have one, but I’m afraid he’s too strong and will snap it!!

 

[TheBikePilot]

Nah I doubt it, haven’t heard of snapped chains unless it’s worn!

Old school torque wrench—As you tension the bolt you have to watch the tiny guage on the handle to apply the correct torque.

Were you able to use the stock chain guide with the Renthal 32? Also curious if the top speed is affected with DI2 and the 32.
My brother and I both installed a 220 on the front. We went with the organic pads as the metallic pads destroyed our rotors. Grooves in them and squeeking like a houling banshee. Now they are smooth, quiet and excellent modulation.

I run a 34T on my other E8000 powered bike an gained about 3-5 mph it wasn't running di2 tho. Iv got a 34T ready for when my decoy gets here along with a load of other parts to replace.

The Decoy already comes with a 34t.

 

[Ozone08]

sorry meant 36T

Chain and guide are jam up. No worries

 

[Ozone08]

Well still with no bike and the status stuck on “in progress” since I ordered the delay has at least given me a chance to get everything els delivered and ready to fit ?

 

[Gutch]

What’s the shifter for? You may want the other side instead.? I did the same thing, gathered all goodies awaiting arrival.

its a E8000 shifter im not a fan of the E7000 buttons i had it on my last shimano bike

 

[Gutch]

Yes, I know. Are you going to shift with it? I did the same thing. You need a right hand side.

 

[Ozone08]

no its for the motor not for the Di2

 

[Gutch]

Gotcha, are you sure it won’t mess with your dropper lever?

 

[Camstyn]

Why the spare shock, is it revalved or something?

 

[Ozone08]

it'll mess with the dropper a little but ill survive.

I ordered the PRO because iv had bad experiences with carbon wheels and also I don't want Di2

Cool, enjoy!

Motor and display needs updates.

I tried to connect to the bike via eTube app but was not able to find the Bluetooth LE or any reference to Bluetooth on the e7000 display Settings menu. Menu options are not like those shown in How-To videos. Does anyone have insights?

You need to open the eTube app, have it ready to connect and then turn the bike on. Theres a short window where it should appear as a connection option in the app as the bike boots up.

 

[Gutch]

Exactly, there is no Bluetooth display on the E7000.

 

[Pabs]

I ordered on the 9th (RIP Jordie), tracking details found in spam on the 21st. Looking on track for around the end of the month all being well.

Will keep ya'll posted

 

[Hol47]

Accessories box arrived today. Hoping bike arrives tomorrow!

Thanks Jabberwocky and Gutch. It worked.
Updated my firmware but still get W013 (torque sensor) error occasionally. When I get the error, I turn it off and back on again until it goes away. I have just 75 miles on the motor so far—concerned this is just the start of bigger problems yet to come.

 

[Gutch]

You’ll get that error sometimes if you pedal without the bike on.

 

[KenX]

Yes, don't put feet on the pedals as the system's booting up or you'll get the error code and have to turn off and on again.....
