Good point. Both my e-bikes have shorter cranks. Also, I noticed when climbing steep grades on an Amish bike there is a leverage thing going on. More pulling or locking against the bars as we torque through our pedal strokes. Not sure how to explain, but i find ride e-bikes hands stay pretty...

Yes and no, I just experiencing the same thing. After spending the last 2 and a half years just e-biking (I ride everywhere as fast as i can, have a 60nm and full fat) Last week I pulled one of my Amish bikes off the wall and went for a ride. Holy crap i spent the first 15 minutes stopping to...

I have had no problems with my 2022 M-Team with over 900 miles on it so far. Ride the bike hard on rough rocky Enduro type single tracks. Though my ride with gear is weight is 170 lbs. I agree you have to a bit careful with the charger door when in the open position. For me upping the the fork...

I am curranty sticking with 0 tokens around 100 psi for now. I probably would never had tried that setup if it weren't for ebikerider comment above. Curious what you think. Side note i have found that the compression settings on the shock can have an effect on fork travel. I assume that's a...

@ FirstAscent, I am 170 lbs with riding gear and am finding the same issues as you (except @ 160mm travel) I have tried everything from 3 tokens @ 72 psi to 0 tokens with 98 psi. When the bike was stock there was no problem with using most of the forks travel. My thinking is the only thing that...

Your right being old did lower the spring rate. I agree with also ordering the 45# spring. I do like the idea of be able to dialing in some compression compared to having to run it wide open. Thanks for the input.

Yes I am a little worried about a 40# spring but that's where the Vorsprung calculator ended up. Have you Have you tried the calculator? is the calculator correct? https://www.vorsprungsuspension.com/collections/all/products/smashpot-fork-coil-conversion-system-2021

I did up the compression on the e-storia and it made a difference with balancing the bike out front to rear. I still think the 38 can be a love hate scenario. I am curranty running about 24% sag with HSC open & LSC 4 in from open. I agree with what MM5K said with upping the air and I have found...

I was thinking same on a stiffer spring but concentered about decreasing the sag. In my. EXT supposedly tuned the shock for my riding weight,Terrain,bike and ability. Also I forgot to mention HSC is full open and LSC 2 in from full open. I have a fox 36 and 38 and both in my opinion are over...

Used I used the Reverse components travel and sag indicator . Works great and vary accurate. It has been on my bike for the last month and I been checking travel usage after every ride. Using the high setting/ neutral headset (stock) Size S3...

I been following this thread and haven’t seen anybody having the current problem I am having. I recently put the long shock kit on my 2022 Levo expert along with the e-storia. Rider weight with gear 170 lbs and EXT sent me a 375 and a 400 lbs coil. I went with the 400 lbs, sag came in at 32%...
