You also should be aware, that commencal uses a special 20mm adapter (the speed sensor is mount to it). You can buy it on their website.

I agree. But the base model is a rip-off imo. But let's get back to commencal 21 bikes. Does anyone have a size s meta power 21 and can upload a picture? Would really like to see one :)

Yeah... for only 1400$ more...

Not really, since it's an E7000, 504Wh bike. They screw you "Santa style" ? You can get far better E8000 bikes for the money.

Might be, since all the E13 stuff is "ok" at best... But Shimano crankarms will also fall off, if not attached properly.

If they bill you for updating the STEPS unit, they rip you off. ? It just takes a smartphone, the (free) shimano app, 30 seconds and literally zero effort...

I'm aware of Don't trust a statistic you haven't rigged yourself ??

I would disagree to that statement. Tesla (e.g.) is almost direct sale. And no, i would not check any part on it, if I would buy one new.

But this situation still su**s. You buy a bike with the price tag of a small car and can't be shure, that it doesn't fall apart on your first ride. Imagine buying a new car, where your door falls off after the 10th time you open it. No one would tolerate that ...

When you lock the crankarm hex bolts, make shure that you don't just turn one until it reaches the right torque and then the other. Turn one until you feel some resistance, than the other. Than apply recommended torque to the first, than second. Repeat last step at least 2-3 times, since when...

Amen ? Every bike I owned so far had some of the following issues then it was new: - wrong torque values on bolts - poor derailleur setup - self loosening rear axles - self loosening derailleurs - cable routing done by a blind person (would be the only excuse) - almost no (or far to extensive)...

The crankarm will fall off if the 2 hex bolts are not tighten up evenly. The plug on the spindle will not hold the crank, since it's just a piece of plastic. There are also some alloy caps you can buy, maybe they will hold the arm a little longer... But just tight the bolts properly and you...

Afaik (from the E8000) the cap is just to lightly pressurise the crankarm (just like a stemcap) before you secure the arm with the 2 hex screws (where it's super important to tighten them evenly).

If you have Rock Shox suspension parts, you definitely should consider to do a small service while they're new, since RS is known for really bad lubrication standards... Thanks for the info ? I ordered the sx ride model with the deluxe on it, but have a 230x65 X2 that I plan to install. Have...

I'm planning to mount the same bottlecage on my sx ?
