Stolen yesterday ...

That's bloody awful news.

How and where? Any hope of a recovery? It was a truly lovely looking bike.

Which display holder are you going to choose?
The standard one is poorly placed imho.

Went with this: OC COMPONENTS KIOX DISPLAY HOLDER 35mm

And some new tires.

What rear guard is this please? I need a bit more at the rear of my motor, that my Mudhugger doesn't cover. I was thinking I could combine the two.

I have just picked up the Jam2 6.8 Nine with Kiox Display. The first day I set the clock, but have noticed it does not keep the time. When I turn the Kiox off and/or charging it the next day the time is not the current time. I resent it and same again the next day.

Do you have the same issue or is your keeping the time?

Hi!
Just received my jam2 6.8 nine xl 2020. Everything original, test drive done and feels super!

New brakes and cockpit upgrade on my jam2

 

[myskovon]

Picked my Jam² 6.8 Nine up this week. Highly rate it! First thing I’ve ordered is the Acid handlebar Kiox mount as it’s horrible mounted on the stem. I changed the Rekons out straight away for Michelin’s, I like the look of tanwalls though so might come back to them in the Summer.

Does anyone know if you can get a bashguard for the Bosch Gen 4 as it seems a bit vulnerable with nothing?

 

[PJ27]

Congrats! Bike looks great. I picked up mine last week. I agree the motor does look vulnerable, I have look and even emailed Rockguardz but they haven’t been able to get their hands on a 2020 bike. if you find a solution please share

Rockguardz - Real Carbon Fibre MTB Rock Protectors

 

[PJ27]

Myskovon. - Also when you have connected the Acid handlebar Kiox mount can you post photos and give feedback. As I am interested in moving Kiox display too

 

[myskovon]

@PJ27 congrats to you too ?
Rockguardz are great I have one on my other bike. Just a shame they are a fair distance away from both of us. We need a local owner to take one for the team and hook them up with a mould bike ?

My focus jam2 6.7 nine

Hope 35mm stem
Nukeproof 780mm bars
Ergon gd1 grips
Hope mini mono m4 brakes with sintered pads
Nukeproof electron evo pedals
Charge spoon saddle.
Routing the rear brake hose through the frame was a pig, had to drop the motor and loosen the battery to get the hose past, mine have the braided hoses fitted

Finished tweaking my new Large Jam2/6.7 with parts I already had (took off my old bikes)

E13 27.5 carbon wheelset.

Flip chip in low/short position reducing chainstays to 427 and wheelbase to 1225mm

Some proper tires - Minion DHF 2.5 front and 2.3 rear
Raceface 800mm sixc carbon bars & 45mm funn stem

Fox 36 (set at 170mm, 15mm longer (under sag) to match the 15mm higher position of the frame on the rear wheel. Fox 34 just a bit too flexy for a weighty bike like this.

Invisiframed the rear triangle, battery and underbelly (no kit available so just used old left over bits from other kits)

Got a better shock to put on it too, but want to ride it with the stock shock first. Need a 200mm dropper post and a mud guard!

Got manflu at mo, hopefully take it out for first proper ride tomorrow. Very impressed with the power of the new bosch - feels way more torquey than the shimano up and down the road.

 

[PJ27]

AWESOME! Absolutely awesome! Love the upgrades. What a bike. Love it.
Can you let us know how it rides with the 27.5 rear.

 

[cabbynate]

Let's see..
800mm PRO Tharsis carbon Di2 bars
Shimano E7000 power assist switch
ODI SDG lock on grips
Trust Massage forks
29" DT Swiss H1700 front wheel
160mm shimano cranks
Specialized power comp saddle
Oneup composite peddles
Maxxis DHF up front and a DHRll out back.

That about sums it up. At least for now...

Nice upgrades. Bike looks great

Thanks! I just rode it today with the 29er up front and I gotta tell ya I'm lovin it! it rolls over everything and made the hole loop smoother to ride. At 200lb all geared up I'm running 17lb air front and rear and it felt great in the desert dirt,sand,rock..

Took the jam2 Bosch for its first ride today (finally over my man flu thank god).

Set up with 27.5 wheels in low mode with 170mm fork.

Very very impressed with it. Motor is nice and powerful, definitely feels more powerful than the shimano and about the same as the brose mk2. I was pleasantly surprised by the noise levels, not as bad as reviews say and I think quieter than the shimano.



Bike handled really well. Snappy in corners, jumped well. Brakes were plenty adequate.



I can understand what reviewers say about lack of support when things get rowdy, but its not as bad as they make out. Its probably just down to the fact the shock has no compression settings on it at all, not even a lockout. I think I’ll swap the shock out and then it will be perfect.



For £3.3k I don’t think you can get a better ebike.

Its certainly rides a lot better than the Canyon Spectral 6.0 and I prefer it to the YT Decoy which are its nearest price point competitors.
