Well done on finding geo numbers. I couldn't when I looked a couple of weeks ago. Do we have weights? Normally I don't much care (own a RAAW), but that's a big part of the point with the current EXe. Wondering how much the bigger battery weighs and if there will be options so you could have...

As to buying one of these on sale, I've had mine for a little over two years. Motor gave out just before the warranty was up. Actually glad it did, as I'm heading into post-warranty territory with a brand new motor. I've got a second battery. Most regular rides are one battery., and I really...

To add on the good points on effects on geo, the BB is really low and the HTA is good for the bike's intended purposes, which means the high setting is something that should be considered. It's not like a bike from a few years ago where the high setting wasn't really applicable for most riders...

I'm trying to put off a c5/c6 fusion. 215 lbs. +1 on the I9 40mm stem and 35 rise OneUp bars. I'm running a Lyrik at 160. I've also got a Zeb on a Madonna at 170. EXe gets ridden locally as well as taken on trips to properly gnarly and steep terrain. Had the EXe/Lyrik a little over two...

IME, 5mm housing fits and handles the internal routing much better than the normal 4mm. Tried a lot of different things and that finally got my X01 setup shifting as light as my other bikes.

For the good of the order: I fitted a Wolf Tooth bash ring with a WT 32 ring and I'm really pleased with how the setup turned out (other than there was a mix up with LBS on ring and it was supposed to be SS). Running X01 drivetrain, and this setup moved my chain line a couple mm inboard to...

I have the Jank Components inline mount and 70cc pump on a Large frame. Lezyne sideloading cage with 26 oz purist bottle (standard shape and size for 26 oz bottle). I shaved away some of underside of the Jank mount and water bottle cage to cant the pump and bottle away from each other at their...

Thx for the followup. The tunes likely shouldn't be the same, but I'd be shocked (no pun intended) if they weren't. But maybe someone has some insider knowledge?

I think the rebound, compression, and check tunes are probably all I need. Really nice to have this in case I decide to pull the trigger. Huge thanks.

I ride mine pretty hard at 210 lbs and have been happy with progressive coil on a Hazzard at 62.5. "Coil sag" of about 25% and not having to rely too heavily on HSC. Have tried a linear spring. Definitely no bueno. I didn't like the float X at all and, by sheer luck, the Hazzard I run on...

I used bolts I had lying around. Can't remember if cleat or water bottle or something else.

Glad it worked and nice to know. Re reaching a rebound adjuster at the lower end of the shock. Running a hazzard (with progressive coil). Cheap 3mm hex key, dremel, and a dab of gorilla glue let me make a way to quickly adjust rebound a click or two without having to pull the shock. Highly...

Definitely cool to experiment with stuff like this, but there is a review of the Hope crankset (normal bikes) on MBR that is a good rundown of the some of the counterpoints, which aren't getting much press at the moment. Just because it's a trend doesn't mean its wrong, but we shouldn't just...

I had some headset creaking I ended up resolving, I think mainly with a cane creek subassembly/compression ring. Although I wasn't overly impressed with the construction of the bearing seats. Just FYI, my notes on bearings from when I dug into it are below. I'd be shocked if you couldn't run...

Battery not all that much different from a nice shock, fork, pair of brakes, etc. Can run a cable through the wheels, but all these components and more are sitting ducks. Whenever I start worrying about things like this, I remember the wisest thing I've ever heard about bike theft: Pretty much...
