I had a question about your rear hub previously, but no response. Do you run a Industry 9, Hydra 2? I had a problem with mine and it was making the clicking noise also when pedaling. If you are not running this rear hub, please disregard. :-)

I have hunch. Do you run the Industry 9 Hydra 2 hubs. I had some clicking while pedaling and finally identified the problem. I was pulling my hub apart to check the axle bearings. When I removed the free hub body, I found a retainging ring rattling around in the axle hub. This ring is used to...

When you push your arms forward, the bike goes forward, your arse doesn't go back. I like to think of it this way which IMO is more practical. :-)

I was getting both E914 and E201 also which indicates the battery connection/connectors. Also I forgot to mention that Santa Cruz also sent me a new battery where the individual socket connections on the battery fit tighter to the spade connections on the battery mount. One way to check this...

The space between your bike battery electrical receptacle and the latch spring has to be according to the dimensions in the attached diagram. When I first got my bike, I had the dreaded E914 error many times over a period of weeks. This is the most current diagram. I fashioned my own alignment...

I have no problem with a 200 mm rotor on my front. Again, I'm 245 lbs without gear on and my bike is 48 lbs.

Those SRAM HS2 rotors rock. No noise, no warpage and hardly wear it all. I have 200s front and rear and they work great. I'm 245 lbs and my bike is 48 lbs. so they really have to perform for my load. 😁 You're opting for the SRAM HS2 I'm assuming?

I use SRAM HS2 rotors with the same pads you are using. I've never had any problems and I never clean them other than the usual bike wash down. These rotors are 2.0 mm thick compared to the Centerline which are 1.7 mm thick. I never get any noise other than right after going through a stream...

Off it’s not written in the warranty, it doesn’t exist. I just hate it when a representative makes up something arbitrary. Always ask, show me where that is written. That is legally binding.

Just use Stans. Never have problems. Fillmore valve compatible.

Usually the cracking noise that you hear is because the headset preload is set to loose and/or the headset bearings need cleaning and greasing. I always make sure that the headset bearings and the seats on the headtube itself are cleaned and coated with the high end water resistant blue Park...

You cut off there. I'd love to hear how you did this, type of material, part number etc. Thanks.

Thanks. This is my first EMTB, so I'm not used to having to replace a chain this soon. But taking into consideration that with a motor, there is extra force being exerted on the drive train, it does seem reasonable as you say. More weight, more power, more wear.

I have the SC Heckler 9 EMTB with the Shimano E801 motor, XO drive train and the new AXS transmission. The other day the chain popped off the chain ring which was a first. Checked the chain guide which was OK. It popped off a couple more times on the next ride. After thorough inspection I found...
